Abstract
This paper describes the development and performance of a 10 W, high efficiency FET amplifier to be used in communication satellites for TWTA replacement. This seven-stage MIC power amplifier provides 50 dB gain with DC to RF conversion efficiency of 33.4% at C-band frequency (3.7 to 4.2 GHz).
