Class F Amplifier Boasts High Efficiency
Pulsed radar systems require high power levels but, increasingly, also demand power amplifiers with high efficiency. To meet those needs at L-band frequencies from 1200 to 1400 MHz, a Class F amplifier was developed with reduced conduction angle to maximize efficiency. The amplifier employs four parallel, internally matched silicon-bipolar transistors in a common-base configuration. They are biased in Class C mode to achieve the high output power levels required by pulsed radar systems....
