Abstract
A broadband power amplifier that provides a nearly flat power and efficiency response over two octaves of frequency is presented. The maximum output power exceeds 2 watts over the entire frequency range of 300MHz to 1200MHz. This amplifier also operates with total amplifier efficiency exceeding 50% across the entire operating frequency range. A GaN technology with 0.14 micron gate length is used.
