This contribution aims at the experimental confirmation of the advantages of the harmonic manipulation theory, using a low-frequency low-cost characterization setup. A 0.5-μm 10x100-μm (1-mm gate periphery) GaN HEMT has been characterized synthesizing at the current-generator plane different load conditions, realizing tuned-load and Class-F operation. The measurements clearly demonstrate the importance of by synthesizing the required loads at the correct reference plane, giving an experimental proof of the performance predicted by theoretical analysis.

Abstract
This contribution aims at the experimental confirmation of the advantages of the harmonic manipulation theory, using a low-frequency low-cost characterization setup. A 0.5-μm 10x100-μm (1-mm gate periphery) GaN HEMT has been characterized synthesizing at the current-generator plane different load conditions, realizing tuned-load and Class-F operation. The measurements clearly demonstrate the importance of by synthesizing the required loads at the correct reference plane, giving an experimental proof of the performance predicted by theoretical analysis.
