Patent ID: 8299856

Claim:
A power circuit, comprising: a power device; an output match network coupled to an output of the power device and including a blocking capacitor which forms part of a high quality factor RF path of the output match network, the output match network operable to provide a range of high frequency gain over a signal bandwidth and a low frequency gain peak outside the signal bandwidth which corresponds to a low frequency resonance of the high quality factor RF path; and a bypass network coupled in parallel with the blocking capacitor of the output match network, the bypass network comprising a series connected inductive component and capacitor coupled in parallel with the blocking capacitor of the output match network, wherein the inductive component of the bypass network is operable to confine RF signal energies to the high quality factor RF path of the output match network and wherein the bypass network is operable to attenuate the low frequency gain peak while maintaining the high quality factor RF path.
