Abstract
The effects of source and land second-harmonic impedance on spectral regrow th was experimentally investigated, and its effects were found to be signif icant. This paper presents two sets of matching network designs which show a difference of up to 16 dB in spectral regrowth under large-signal conditi ons. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
