Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) power transistor circuit includes a power transistor and at least one decoupling circuit. The power transistor has a control electrode coupled to an input terminal for receiving an RF input signal, and a current electrode for providing an RF output signal at an output terminal. A decoupling circuit is coupled between the control electrode and a ground terminal, and/or between the current electrode and the ground terminal. The decoupling circuit includes a resistor coupled in series with components of a resonant circuit having a resonance that is lower than an RF frequency (e.g., lower than 20 megahertz). The resistor is for dampening the resonance of the resonant circuit.
