Yu Song, Guohua Liu, Zhiqun Cheng
In this paper, a realization method for high-efficiency broadband power amplifier (PA) based on split-ring resonator (SRR) second harmonic output matching network (SHOMN) is presented. The SRR is composed of double rectangular rings, and it can flexibly match the second harmonic components to the high-efficiency impedance region in the Smith chart in a wide frequency band. Besides, the impedance t
