Exercise 1: If the RF output voltage, vo, of a FET amplifier is represented by v = Cv + Cv + Cv, where the input voltage v = Acos(t), show that the gain of the amplifier, GNL, in decibels is given by Gvz(dB) = 10log(C + 0.75CA^2).
Exercise 2: In Exercise 1, assume that C = 10, C = 0, and C = -1, and that the amplifier has input and output impedances of 50 Ω. Plot in the same graph (use Excel):
(a) P vs Pin assuming the amplifier is linear
(b) P vs Pin assuming the amplifier is non-linear
(c) P^2 vs Pin
(d) P vs Pin
(e) Find IP3 (output). Use equations. Verify graphically
(f) Find IP2 (output). Use equations. Verify graphically
(g) Determine the 1-dB compression point. Use equations. Verify graphically.
