  • 발행 : 2009.06.01

초록

In this paper, we studied on the power amplifier which has the output of the optimal to 100MHz-2GHz band. Optimal output power match was fabricated using the two types; one is the linear tapering and the other is the impedance transformer. In the case of output power match using linear tapering, output power was 35.35dBm at 2GHz and 31.41dBm at 100MHz. The other case of output match using impedance transformer, output power was 34.8dBm at 2GHz and 33.25dBm at 100MHz. Comparison of the results in the two cases, impedance transformer type present the improved results by l.84dB of output power.
