The present invention discloses a generic approach to the design of
single-path, switchless multi-resonant, multi-band power amplifiers. In
the preferred embodiments, the amplifier includes one or more
amplification stages, a switchless, multi-resonant, input impedance
network, a switchless, multi-resonant, output impedance network, and if
multi-stage, a switchless, multi-resonant, interstage impedance network
between each amplification stage. Multi-band amplification is
accomplished without the need for externally-applied,
frequency-indicating control signals. Moreover, the amplifier may be
designed to provide concurrent multi-band amplification or non-concurrent
amplification.
