Abstract

The broadband bandwidth of power amplifiers is one of the most important features that restrict its wide usage. This work presents a new structure of a broadband power amplifier suitable for ISM band. The proposed amplifier, which is realized with two identical single-stage amplifiers and two power dividers on low loss Epoxy (FR4) substrate with a substrate thickness of 1.6mm and a relative permittivity equal to 4.4. The proposed PA demonstrates a power gain of 16 dB at 2.45GHz. The input and output matching impedances are better than -15dB throughout the band. the power amplifier delivers a maximum output power equal to 16dBm with a flat gain varied between 15-16dB.
