Circuit for interfacing a balanced radio frequency power amplifier with an unbalanced load

摘要

A circuit interfacing a balanced RF power amplifier with unbalanced load has a first shunt inductor and a series capacitor connected to a first output and a first shunt capacitor and series inductor connected to a second output of amplifier. The circuit comprises a second shunt inductor connected to the second output and feeding current to the second output. The first shunt capacitor may correspond to a sum of capacitors required to resonate with the series inductor and second shunt inductor. The second shunt inductor may exceed a value required to resonate with the capacitance of the first shunt capacitor less the capacitance required to resonate with the series inductor, by the same amount as the first shunt inductor exceeds the value required to resonate with the series capacitor. The circuit may further comprise a second shunt capacitor connected to first output, whereby first shunt capacitor exceeds sum of capacitors required to resonate with series inductor and second shunt inductor.
