Abstract: According to the general concept disclosed herein a circuit for adaptive matching of a load impedance (z load) to a predetermined load-line impedance of a load-line connected to a power amplifier (300) output comprises a fixed matching network (201) between the power transistor and an adaptive matching network (101), whereby the fixed matching network acts as an impedance inverter which results in a relatively low insertion loss at high power. Results indicate that the impedance-inverting network can be used over more than a factor of 10 in impedance variation. Further, the usage of the fixed matching network, close to the power transistor, allows for the implementation of transmission zeros and/or for a well defined load impedance at a predetermined harmonic frequency, independent of the (variable) load impedance at the fundamental frequency.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transconductance power amplifier which is capable of correcting load dependency errors where the gain of an amplifier block is finite. A correction impedance (39) is added to a load voltage feedback network. The correction impedance is connected in series with a load (29) and symmetrically with respect to ground. This produces a correction voltage which is proportional to the load current and therefore makes it possible to eliminate the load dependency of the gain, which provides for reduced distortion in cases where the load impedance varies over the frequency range.
