This paper presents a strategy to design ultrawideband power amplifiers with a fractional bandwidth of approximately 200%. It exploits a simple output matching network, which consists of a series transmission line together with a shunt stub, to compensate the output parasitic network of the device. Following this, a multisection transformer is implemented to obtain the optimal load at the intrinsic drain plane.

Using the Wolfspeed's CGH40006 and CG2H40025 GaN HEMT devices, two DPAs were designed and simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. In both cases, a 1.
