Abstract: A phase shifter includes first and second RF terminals, a reference potential terminal; a lumped element LC network connected to the first and second RF terminals and the reference potential terminal, and first and second active semiconductor devices connected to the lumped element LC network and to the reference potential terminal. Each of the first and second active semiconductor devices include a control terminal and first and second output terminals. The lumped element LC network presents a reactance across the first and second RF terminals that shifts the phase of an RF signal as between the first and second RF terminals. The first and second active semiconductor devices are configured to tune the phase shift of the RF signal by controlling the reactance across the first and second RF terminals.

Abstract: An amplifier circuit includes an RF amplifier that is configured to amplify an RF signal between a first terminal and a second terminal across an RF frequency range. The amplifier circuit includes a multi-stage impedance matching network having a broadband impedance transformer, a phase shifter, and a high-pass impedance transformer connected in series with one another between a first port of the amplifier circuit and the first terminal. The broadband impedance transformer provides impedance transformation in the RF frequency range. The phase shifter shifts a phase output port reflection coefficient in a second order harmonic frequency range that overlaps with a second order harmonic of the fundamental RF frequency. The high-pass impedance transformer transmits an RF signal in the RF frequency range while providing impedance transformation in the RF frequency range and transmits RF signals in the second order harmonic frequency range with low impedance.

Abstract: An amplifier circuit includes an RF input port, an RF output port, a reference potential port, and an RF amplifier having an input terminal and a first output terminal. An output impedance matching network electrically couples the first output terminal to the RF output port. A first inductor is electrically connected in series between the first output terminal and the RF output port, a first LC resonator is directly electrically connected between the first output terminal and the reference potential port, and a second LC resonator is directly electrically connected between the first output terminal and the reference potential port. The first LC resonator is configured to compensate for an output capacitance of the RF amplifier at a center frequency of the RF signal. The second LC resonator is configured to compensate for a second order harmonic of the RF signal.

Abstract: A peaking amplifier is disclosed. The peaking amplifier includes a driver stage, a final stage, and an interstage matching network. The driver stage has a load impedance and is configured to generate a driver output based on an input signal. The final stage has a final stage input impedance and is configured to generate a peaking output based on the driver output. The interstage matching network is coupled to the driver stage and the final stage. The interstage matching network is configured to transform the final stage input impedance to the load impedance for the driver stage when the peaking amplifier is ON and to provide a short to an input of the final stage when the peaking amplifier is in an OFF state.
