Abstract:
An amplifier device includes an input terminal, an output terminal, a first transistor having a control terminal and first and second current-carrying terminals, and a class-J circuit coupled between the second current-carrying terminal of the first transistor and the output terminal and configured to harmonically terminate the first transistor. The class-J circuit may include a first resonator, characterized by a first resonant frequency substantially equal to a second harmonic frequency. The first resonator may be coupled between the second current-carrying terminal and a voltage reference. A shunt inductor that is distinct from the first resonator may be coupled between the second current-carrying terminal and the voltage reference.
