  • Abstract
    The influence of harmonic tuning on output power (P/sub out/) and power added efficiency (PAE) for both HBTs and MESFETS is investigated. Results of measurements and harmonic balance simulations are compared, that illustrate the dependence of PAE and P/sub out/ on the second-harmonic load reflection angle.
