Abstract

A power amplifier for use in wireless communication devices is disclosed that reduces the noise generated at the output of the amplifier in the receive band of the wireless communication device. A resonant circuit is inserted between the base ballast resister and the lumped resister. The resonant frequency of the resonant circuit is adjusted to correspond to the frequency offset between the transmission frequency and the frequency corresponding to the peak noise in the receive band of the communication device.
