P. Colantonio et al., Experimental performances of 5GHz harmonic-manipulated high efficiency microwave power amplifiers, ELECTR LETT, 36(9), 2000, pp. 800-801
The measured performances of 5GHz single-stage power amplifiers are present
ed. The amplifying stages were designed using a recently proposed high effi
ciency design methodology. Improvements in terms of power-added efficiency
of 12, 29 and 43% as compared to standard design approaches have been obtai
ned.
