Abstract :
In this contribution the research activities and trends in the field of RF and microwave power amplifiers design are discussed. Design strategies for high efficiency and high linearity amplifiers are focused and several state-of-the-art power amplifier design example employing GaN technology are presented. In particular, for each design methodology an actual design realised in hybrid form will be discussed highlighting the different trade-off to be done.
