Abstract
A power amplifier with improved stability, gain, flatness and return loss and reduced the size, which comprises a two-stage power amplifier in balanced cascode topology that consists of a first common-source stage feeding into a first common-gate stage; a second common-source stage feeding into a second common-gate stage; an input matching network for matching the input impedance of the a two-stage power amplifier to a desired signal source impedance; an output matching network for matching the output impedance of the a two-stage power amplifier to a desired load; a first positive feedback path between the gate of the first common-source stage and the drain of the second common-gate (CG) stage and a second positive feedback path between the gate of the second common-source stage and the drain of the first common-gate (CG) stage; a first negative feedback path between the drain of the first common-gate (CG) stage and the gate of the first common-source stage and a second negative feedback path between the drain of the second common-gate (CG) stage and the gate of the second common-source stage; a first inter-stage matching network between the first common-source (CS) stage and the first common-gate (CG) stage; and a second inter-stage matching network between the second common-source (CS) stage and the second common-gate (CG) stage.
