摘要： A method is provided for large signal modeling of a field effect transistor. The method includes establishing a small signal model for the transistor, such model having a gate-source capacitance Cgs and a drain-gate capacitance Cdg, both being functions of a gate-source voltage Vgs and a drain-source voltage Vds. The s-parameters of the transistor are measured and curve fitting is applied to the measured s-parameters to establish small signal model parameters. The small signal model parameters include gate-source capacitance Cgs as a function of Vgs and Vds and gate-drain capacitance Cdg as a function of Vgs and Vds. Curve fitting is applied to Cgs and Cdg to establish large signal gate charge fitting parameters. The established large signal gate charge fitting parameters are used to express a gate-source charge Qgs and a gate-drain charge Qgd as functions of Vgs and a gate-drain voltage Vgd in a large signal model for the transistor.

摘要： The present invention is a parallel RF amplifier circuit that selects between a high power side (HPS) and a low power side (LPS), depending upon output power. A chain matching network couples an LPS output to an HPS output for improved efficiency at lower output power. When the HPS is selected, the LPS output is disabled, and when the LPS is selected, the HPS output is disabled When the HPS is selected, large signal voltage swings from the collector of the HPS amplifier may be multiplied through the chain matching network, and may cause negative voltage swings at the LPS collector, which may degrade linearity and efficiency of the HPS amplifier by driving currents into the disabled LPS amplifier. Therefore, the present invention includes LPS bias circuitry to minimize impacts of negative voltage swings at the LPS output.
