A switchable bandpass filter includes a first stepped-impedance resonator, a second stepped-impedance resonator wirelessly coupled to the first stepped-impedance resonator, and a first diode connected to one end of the second stepped-impedance resonator.

A single-pole-double-throw switch is provided, which is configured to be integrated with a bandpass filtering function and includes four quarter-wavelength transmission lines connected in series, five resonators connected in parallel to each other, and four transistors connected in parallel to four of the five resonators. When two of the four transistors are turned on and the others are turned off, the single-pole-double-throw switch is equivalent to a third-order quarter-wavelength short-circuited stub bandpass filter.

A power amplifier includes a first transformer, a first transistor, a first resistor, a second transformer, a second transistor, a second resistor, and a bias circuit. The first transformer drives the first transistor. The second transformer drives the second transistor. The first transformer is connected in series with the second transformer. The first transistor is connected in series with the second transistor. Therefore, the power amplifier has input impedance and output power both greater than those of a conventional power amplifier.
