Experimental results of a simultaneous dual band high efficiency harmonic tuned power amplifier in GaN HEMT technology are presented. The amplifier has been realized in hybrid form and the measured results shown a peak of 53% and 46% of drain efficiency with 33 dBm and 32.5 dBm output power in the first (at 2.45 GHz) and second (at 3.3 GHz) bands, respectively. Moreover, a zero transmission condition has been obtained, resulting in a measured value of S 21 lower than −15 dB at 2.8 GHz. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
