Method for high-frequency amplifier using power gain-boosting technique

Abstract

The present invention provides a power gain-boosting technique for an amplifier in order to compensate for the decrease of Gmag in a transistor at high frequencies. A power gain-boosting technique of the present invention comprises the steps of: finding the Maximum Unilateral Gain or Mason's Invariant U of a transistor; designing a linear, lossless, reciprocal network embedding the transistor so that the final equivalent S-, Y-, or Z-parameters satisfy the condition: embedding the transistor into the linear, lossless, reciprocal network; and constructing simultaneous conjugate matching.
