In this paper, a Quasi‐Balanced mode GaAs FET amplifier is proposed, where a varactor diode is connected in parallel with the gate source of a GaAs FET, forcing it to operate in a quasi‐balanced mode in order to compensate its input nonlinear gate‐source capacitance. A 30‐dB reduction for the first side‐lobe was obtained at 1‐dB g.c.p. by using optimal 2 nd ‐harmonic terminations and a varactor diode. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
