Myriad products and services utilize RF power amplifiers in their transmitter circuitry: wireless infrastructure for cell phones and other mobile devices; radio and television broadcasting; medical equipment such as MRI machines; materials curing that includes carpet fibers and plywood; radar; space and satellite communications; police and fire radios; and military communications and electronics of all kinds. Most of these transmitters use semiconductors in the RF power amplifier output stages. Even modern, extremely high-power broadcast transmitters that traditionally have used large vacuum tubes in their RF sections have finally begun to use solid-state devices. This study examines RF power semiconductor devices that have power outputs of greater than four watts and operate at frequencies of up to 3.8 GHz, which represent the bulk of applications in use today.
