Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the more commonly used design technique for wideband power amplifier is distributed or traveling wave amplifier method, which adopts linear design method to ensure linearity, gain flatness and high return loss in the whole frequency band. However, this technique requires multiple tubes Therefore, it has disadvantages such as high cost, large scale, and low efficiency. Use harmonically tuned amplifiers such as class J and class F, or use switch mode amplifiers such as class E, class D, and inverse class F , although the power amplifier efficiency can be significantly improved, the harmonic tuning performance in the required frequency band is reduced, making this type of power amplifier usually only suitable for narrowband applications, not suitable for wideband (one octave) power amplifier design
