    摘要: A switch mode power amplifier includes a transistor responsive to input signals above 1.0 GHz and which includes one terminal coupled to ground and another terminal conductively coupled to a power source. A resonant circuit coupled the second terminal to an output with a resistive load coupled across the output and ground. When the transistor is turned on the second terminal is coupled to ground and when the transistor is turned off, current from the power supply to the second terminal is steered into internal capacitance of the transistor and causes voltage on the second terminal to rise to a maximum value and then decrease, the voltage at the second terminal being coupled to the output terminal through the resonant circuit. In preferred embodiments, the transistor comprises a compound semiconductor field effect transistor with the first terminal being a source terminal and the second terminal being a drain terminal. The field effect transistor is preferably a compound high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) or compound MESFET, but in other embodiments the transistor can be the compound LDMOS, compound bipolar transistor, or compound MOSFET.

    摘要: A test system for measuring the characteristics of an active circuit employs a pulsed bias technique for periodically biasing the input control port of the active circuit into the active region of operation. Biasing is achieved with a bias voltage that is periodically pulsed ON and OFF. An RF source is pulse modulated ON and OFF synchronously with the pulsed bias voltage and applied to the input control port of the active circuit. The pulsed RF occupies a portion of the time interval encompassed by the pulsed bias voltage. These voltages are combined and applied to the input port of the active circuit which operates only during the presence of the pulsed bias voltage and which is OFF during the absence of the pulsed bias voltage. A DC supply is utilized to bias the output port. The amplified RF power is then measured at the output port of the circuit, after the RF power has been separated from the DC bias by a non-reciprocal device.
