INTRODUCTION This paper is concerned with the connection between the varactor equivalent circuit and harmonic generator performance. Substantial progress has recently been made in the detailed analysis of multiplier circuits by several workers; these results will likely be published in the near future. Instead of borrowing from these new...

This article presents a high gain and efficiency Doherty amplifier for WLAN mobile base stations with three advanced methods. First, a Doherty amplifier is developed with uneven power drive, which provides more input power to the peak amplifier for full power operation and appropriate load modulation. Second, a special...

This year is the 50 th anniversary of Microwave Journal . As is frequently the response to such noteworthy occasions, the editors, in their unquestionable wisdom, have invited old codgers like me to create retrospectives on microwave technology. I never thought it would have happened, but the older I...
