Load Modulated Balanced Amplifier Design Method Based on Complex Impedance Trajectories

This paper presents a design methodology for a load modulated balanced amplifier (LMBA) focusing on AMPM distortion mitigation. By introducing second harmonic control as a degree of design freedom, a complex load trajectory can be selected to compensate for AMPM nonlinearities in the device without...
