Abstract

A novel formulation for the voltage waveforms in high efficiency linear power amplifiers is described. This formulation demonstrates that a constant optimum efficiency and output power can be obtained over a continuum of solutions by utilizing appropriate harmonic reactive impedance terminations. A specific example is confirmed experimentally. This new formulation has some important implications for the possibility of realizing broadband >10% high efficiency linear RF power amplifiers.
