摘要
This letter reports the effects of defected ground structure (DGS) on the output power and efficiency of a class A power amplifier, In order to evaluate the effects of DGS on the efficiency and output power, two class A GaAs FET amplifiers have been measured at 4.3 similar to4.7 GHz. One of them has a 50 Omega microstrip line with DGS at the output section, while the other has only 50 Omega straight line. It is shown that DGS rejects the second harmonic at the output and yields improved output power and power added efficiency by 1 similar to5%.
