Abstract
Radio frequency (RF) power pallets including primary or first circuit boards and daughter or second circuit boards are described. An example RF power pallet includes a first circuit board comprising a first side, a second side, a first metal layer, and a second metal layer. The power pallet also includes an RF power amplifier coupled to the first metal layer and a second circuit board electrically coupled to the first metal layer. The second circuit board includes a bias voltage driver for the RF power amplifier, and the first metal layer includes a bias voltage trace that extends from a contact of the second circuit board to a gate of the power amplifier. The second circuit board extends the features of the RF pallet, while avoiding some increases in size, costs, and complexity that would typically be associated with the new features.
