Abstract

This article reports a high efficiency class‐E power amplifier using a SiC MESFET, which is designed and tested at 2.14 GHz. To improve output power and efficiency by suppressing harmonic powers, an output matching circuit using the transmission lines is used. From measured results for a single tone, the harmonic power levels are maintained below −58 dBc at a whole output power level. The peak power‐added efficiency of 72.3% with a power gain of 10.27 dB is achieved at an output power of 40.27 dBm. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
