A power amplifier (PA) for multiband applications implemented with a tunable load modulation technique is presented. The broadband output matching can be done by load modulation implemented by modification of the characteristic impedance (Z C ) of the tunable transmission line. The multiband PA delivered a gain of more than 10.5 dB, an adjacent‐channel‐leakage ratio of evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access adjacent channel leakage ratio (E‐UTRA) lower than −30 dBc, and a power added efficiency of 28–31% at the output power of 26‐dBm and the frequency range of 1.5–2.05 GHz with a 10‐MHz 16QAM long‐term evolution signal. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
