Abstract
A circuit and method for input side impedance matching of a power amplifier in an electronic device. Specifically, the present invention provides an impedance transformer network that includes a negative resistor in series with a bondwire inductor. The network is placed in parallel with a signal source and synthesizes the source side impedance at the input of the power amplifier. The desired impedance is synthesized by selecting an appropriate value for the negative resistor and setting the reactance of the inductor equal to the capacitance of the electronic device at a required frequency of operation.
