Abstract:

This paper includes the analysis, design and implementation of Power Amplifiers (PA) operating in the specified frequency ranges (L1, L2, L5) in the L Band. This PA provides 18 W output power with 58% efficiency. The PA consist three different amplifier stage. GaN-on-SiC transistor is used in PA. The focus of the realized structure is efficiency and linearity. These requirements have been achieved with the choice of transistor technology, impedance matching circuit design and bias point selection. With this design, a Power Amplifier that can be used in signal jammers or amplifier units operating in the L band range has been produced.
