One feature of the present disclosure is a power amplifier including a power amplifier configured to provide a radio frequency signal at the output, an output matching network configured to provide impedance matching at a fundamental frequency of the radio frequency signal, and a harmonic termination circuit coupled to the output of the power amplifier. Amplifier module. The power amplifier is included on the power amplifier die. The output matching network comprises a first circuit element electrically connected to the output of the power amplifier via a pad on the upper surface of the conductive trace, the upper surface having an unplated portion between the pad and the power amplifier die. The harmonic termination circuit may comprise a second circuit element. The first circuit element and the second circuit element may have individual electrical connections to the power amplifier die. Other embodiments of the module are provided with its associated methods and components. |
