The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

am new in microwave power amplifiers.
I can build the system using couple of tranistors , capacity and inductors .
the probleme is how we can find the transistor model that we need to use .
and how we can find the system layout using ADS
please answer at

Hi:

For choosing transistors for RF PA, you need to consider the specifications of the PA, such as how much gain are you needed, how much power and linearity to be achieved. and whether it's single-stage or multi-stages PA?

For example, at multi-stages PA, usually we use high-impedance transistor at first stage and low impedance transistor at last stage. The high impedance gives us lower input reflection with simpler input and interstage matching networks .

While the high impedance at the last stage (output side) will give us some room for power matching at the end.

and also , you may consider the gain you need, and check the GMax of the transistors, and see whether it is possible to achive certain gain.

If you could provide me more details, I might be able to help you.

Hope it helps,
Regards,

Jean

thanks alot for answering my request .and sory for not responding earlier n that time
in fact my problem is when designing the PA , i needed to choose a model for my FET transistors (am using ADS software), and i don't have one.so do u need any place were i can telecharge the library that i will need .

thanks alot for all

You can visit some transistor supplier for more infor: advanced power technologies RF, macom or philip...

You can find more info by talking to their application engineers....good luck to you
