Nonlinear Design of a C band Power Amplifier using EEHEMT Nonlinear Model

This paper illustrates the nonlinear design of a single stage C band power amplifier. EEHEMT nonlinear model of the Eudyna MESFET device FLM5359-4F has been used for the single carrier nonlinear design of the amplifier. Paper covers all aspects related to nonlinear design of a power amplifier viz. description of nonlinear model, nonlinear design using loadpull technique, simulation and optimization followed by comparison of simulated and measured performance of the amplifier.
