چکیده
Fig.2 Amplifier under test. Amplifiers can operate in classes A, B, AB, C, D, E and F [2]. We tested class A amplifier made by „Microwave Power Devices“, Model: LWA 4690-1/1837, based on bipolar devices (Fig.2). Usually, 1dB compression point, gain and two-tone third-order intercept point are measured as the amplifier figure of merit. As specified by manufacturer, the frequency range of the amplifier is from 100 MHz to 900 MHz.
