Abstract :
The validity of large-signal y parameters for use in the design of microwave-transistor power amplifiers has been investigated, and simple design equations have been derived for the optimum source and load terminations. The predicted terminations are in good agreement with those experimentally obtained with a 1 GHz 1 W amplifier.
