Video 5.5 - Conquer Radio Frequency

This video employs a BFP405 transistor model which was readily available in AWR v11. If you can't find this model in newer versions, please download this simulation file which includes the BFP405 model explorerf.com/BFP405_from_AWR_...
Content:
Unilateral Match. Improving gain through independent matching of transistor’s input and output.
Design of distributed matching networks for amplifiers. Constant VSWR and Γ circles in MWO.
Limitations of unilateral approach when S12 is not negligible and effects on input and output reflection coefficients.
