The parallel-circuit Class E tuned power amplifiers with load networks consisting of either one capacitance and one inductor or a parallel LC circuit and series filter are described and analyzed. The elements of the load networks are defined using the same analytical approach with a set of the exact

✦ Synopsis
Verification of the Materka-Kacprzak model suitable for highly saturated MESFET operation is presented. To examine the validity of the model, a broadband microwave class-E power amplifier was designed and fabricated using a Siemens CLY5 ( ) MESFET transistor. A 200 MHz bandwidth 22% from 0.82 to 1.02 GHz with a poweradded efficiency greater than 60% was measured at an input power level of 15 dBm with a constant output power of 24 dBm.
