PA design by genesysAbstract Linear Microwave power amplifier design and analysis with circuit simulators is often considered a complicated and uncertain endeavor. In fact, many would argue this should be avoided in favor of the bench. While the hands-on aspect of microwave engineering will never be completely eliminated with any software tool, these tools can give valuable insight during the design process and improve one’s chances of early success as well as long term adaptability. This serves to increase the quality of designs as well as the confidence and efficiency of the designer. This document shows the power and breadth of GENESYS when applied to a one watt GaAs FET power amplifier circuit. To demonstrate the circuit analysis techniques, a power GaAs FET test circuit on an evaluation board from Exceli……
