摘要：

This paper presents a high-efficiency UHF power amplifier (PA) using a GaN HEMT on a SiC substrate transistor as the active device. The PA delivers 65 W with 82% power added efficiency (PAE), and 45 W with 84% PAE at 370 MHz, with supply voltages of 35 V and 28 V, respectively. Load pull techniques under Class-E conditions are used for device characterization and matching network design. The PA is implemented in a hybrid circuit with mixed lumped-element and transmission-line matching networks. A weighted Euclidean distance is defined to enable tradeoff studies between output power (POUT) and efficiency, in order to find the final optimal amplifier design.
