Abstrakt: A novel composite transistor consisting of an inverted transistor parallel-connected to a standard RF power transistor is implemented to improve the linearity of the power amplifier. The inverted transistor facilitates the predistortion and feedback functions. The P1dB output power and IP3 of the composite transistor PA are increased by 5 and 7 dB, respectively. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
