Realization of Power Amplifier Using a Harmonic Rejection Circuit

In this paper, I study on the realization of 900 MHz 1 W power amplifier using a harmonic rejection circuit. The proposed harmonic rejection circuit has improved the harmonic rejection characteristic and overcoming the problems related with frequency reproducibility on the microstrip line. The proposed power amplifier, fabricated by the type of hybrid with the epoxy PCB, was composed of driver stage and power amplifier stage with harmonic rejection circuit. The fabricated power amplifier shows -24 dBc and -30 dBc of harmonic rejection characteristic at 2nd and 3rd harmonic compared with that is not used, respectively and it could be replace the filter located between an output stage and an antenna.
