A 3.5GHz Power Amplifier Design

Power amplifier is necessary component in wireless communications. Power amplifier (PA) being an important element of the transmitter, greatly affects both efficiency and linearity. Different active devices can be used in power amplifier architecture. In this paper a 3.5 GHz power amplifier has been designed using Cree CGH40010F. The amplifier provided a Power Added Efficiency of 57.5128 %, with a gain of 11.283dB and output power of 39.283dBm.
