Abstract
Thomson Silicon Carbide MESFET was characterised in DC, small signal and load-pull conditions. Several amplifiers were designed to be used in communication systems (digital television, DAB) and were measured. A comparison with a LDMOS amplifier showed that SiC is a very promising material for microwave and RF power amplification.
