Abstract
A symmetrical common gate direct current bias network for stacked field effect transmitter distributed high-power amplifier, related apparatus, and related method are provided. An apparatus includes a plurality of amplifier stages connected in parallel between an input port and an output port. The apparatus can also include a first common gate voltage generator operatively connected at a first side of the plurality of amplifier stages and a second common gate voltage generator operatively connected at a second side of the plurality of amplifier stages. The first common gate voltage generator can be operatively connected to the second common gate voltage generator in a symmetrical configuration.
