Abstract :
This work describes the design of a wideband RF power amplifier using GaN HEMT. A complete design methodology is developed using the best compromise between efficiency and linearity. All design flux is implemented using Agilent Advanced Design System and Momentum planar electromagnetic simulator. The result is a constructed circuit that closely fulfill with the requirements.
