Question: Design a power amplifier using a Nitronex NPT 2 5 1 0 0 GaN HEMT transistor, with an output power of 1 0 W at

Design a power amplifier using a Nitronex NPT25100 GaN HEMT transistor, with an output power of 10 W at 2.3 GHz. The scattering parameters of the transistor, for Vds =28 V and Id =600 mA, are given as follows: S11=0.593178, S12=0.009-127, S21=1.77-106, and S22=0.958175. The optimum large-signal source and load impedances are Zs =10-j3 and ZL =2.5-j2.3. For an output power of 10 W, the power gain is 16.4 dB and the drain efficiency is 26%. Design input and output impedance matching sections for the transistor, and find the required input power, the required DC drain current, and the power added efficiency.
