I want to design 2 watt amplifier using PD85004 from 135MHz to 175MHz . I am facing problem regarding amplifier stability andmatching. I have simulated amplifier model in ADS 2011.10. for LSSP and load pull test. Physical amplifier does not work with required gain. Can anybody help me ?
With this frequency and bandwidth, you should not have any problems. I work on GHz spectrum and I have yet to face a problem. Although somethings are to be considered here. 1. RF grounding should be proper.
2. The lambda/4 line for DC connectivity should be of the right length.
3.The module should be with same boundary conditions as in the ADS designing software while entering the substrate
