Abstract

A new design method of stable RF power amplifier using 3dB coupled line is proposed in this thiesis. The proposed method of broadband matching consist of resistive matching circuits at low frequency and lossless matching circuits at microwave band. This design method increase the stability of an amplifier and is suitable for interstage matching. When high power amplifier is designed using this method for PCS base transceiver station, the measured resutls show thst the gain of 18.5dB, and 9W (39.5dBm) output power. We use motorola's MRF6401 for medium power and MRF 6402 for large power and cascaded them.
