✦ Synopsis

Efficiency in microwave power amplifiers (PAs) is limited by the active device parameters and operating conditions. High values can be obtained by a proper selection of bias point and harmonic terminations or, from a different point of view, by a proper output voltage and/or current waveform shaping. This work outlines the mathematical statements for the proper design of a second harmonic tuning (HT) PA. To validate the theory, the design of a highly efficient 3.5 (WiMAX applications) GHz GaN HEMT PA based on second HT is presented. The measured performances confirm the improvement obtained by means of harmonic manipulation over Class AB tuned load or Class J PAs. An output power of 35.3 dBm has been measured for a maximum of power-added efficiency of around 58% (drain efficiency 69.2%) with a IMD 3 of 19.1 dBc. V

## Abstract A compact triple‐band planar antenna applied to UMTS, WiFi and WiMAX applications is proposed. The proposed antenna provides three wide frequency bands, which are 1744–2759 MHz, 3271–4126 MHz and 4718–5908 MHz, realized in a commercial FR4 printed‐ circuit board (PCB) with a permittivit

## Abstract We have designed and realized a highly linear power amplifier module (PAM) for a WiMAX/WiBro base station using a simple linearization method. To improve the linearity of the PAM, we use large‐signal intermodulation distortion (IMD) sweet spots, which are part of the inherent properties

## Abstract This paper presents a simple method to design a tri‐band bandpass filter (BPF) using asymmetric stepped‐impedance resonators (SIRs) with one‐step discontinuity.Only two SIRs are needed in the filter structure. The tri‐band passband responses can be achieved by properly selecting the len
