AMPLIFIERS AND RELATED INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

摘要

Apparatus are provided for amplifier systems and related integrated circuits are provided. An exemplary integrated circuit includes a main amplifier arrangement, first impedance matching circuitry coupled between the output of the main amplifier arrangement and a first output of the integrated circuit, a peaking amplifier arrangement, and second impedance matching circuitry coupled between the output of the peaking amplifier arrangement and a second output of the integrated circuit. In one exemplary embodiment, the first impedance matching circuitry and the second impedance matching circuitry have different circuit topologies and different physical topologies.
