Abstract
A packaged RF amplifier device includes a transistor, a first input circuit, and a second input circuit. The first input circuit includes a first series inductance coupled between an input lead and a first node, a second series inductance coupled between the first node and the transistor's control terminal, and a first shunt capacitance coupled between the first node and a ground reference. The second input circuit includes a first shunt inductance and a second shunt capacitance coupled in series between the input lead and the ground reference. The first input circuit and the second input circuit create a fundamental frequency match for the device. The second series inductance and the first shunt capacitance present a short circuit to the ground reference for RF energy at a second harmonic frequency.
