We report the design and performance of an ultra-broadband power amplifier. It achieves 10 Watts output power with 21dB ± 1.5dB gain from 20 MHz to 3000 MHz. At lower frequencies from 20 to 1000 MHz the output power is 15 Watts with 22% efficiency. To achieve this performance, we employ a new design concept to control the device impedance and the power combiner impedance to be naturally 50 Ohms, such that no impedance matching is needed. Also, we developed a broadband microwave balun as a push-pull power combiner, which doubles as an impedance transformer. We believe the combination of output power, bandwidth and efficiency is the best reported to date.
