Abstract
This paper proposes an optimization-oriented design method for harmonic tuned power amplifier (PA) using particle swarm optimization (PSO). Optimal source and load impedances for achieving high efficiency are obtained at the package plane of a Wolfspeed CGH40010 transistor. PSO is employed to optimize matching networks for fitting the desired trajectories of impedances. The designed PA with optimized matching networks was simulated in Keysight's advanced design system for verification. The results showed that the saturation efficiency of the PA reaches 75% at 3.5 GHz with associated output power of 42 dBm, which verified that the method can be used to design high efficiency PA for 5G mobile communication systems.
