This technical paper presents a design and study of impedance matching for RF (radio frequency) circuit application of common-source amplifier topology.  Input and output matching networks of the amplifier were designed and computed ensuring unconditional stability.  Inductors and capacitors are key passive components that are crucial for impedance matching, and are specifically designed such that they would satisfy the gain requirements at a specific frequency of operation.  Impedance matching is necessary in RF circuit design to provide maximum possible power transfer between the source or the generator and the load.  Complex tradeoffs among technology specifications and design parameters exist and should be carefully handled when designing the impedance matching networks, to optimize the performance of the amplifier.

In this paper, a large signal circuit model of graphene field effect transistor (GFET) is described accurately by Verilog-A language, which is suitable for radio frequency circuit design and can be applied in HSPICE and ADS directly. Then two typical radio frequency (RF) circuits, frequency multiplier and mixer, are based on this GFET circuit model. The proposed circuits’ performance are analyzed respectively in 10GHz, 15GHz and 20GHz, and GFET’s application foreground in radio frequency area is discussed.

Light has been generated through Plasma using radio frequency source in 4Ft 40W disused fluorescent tube. As against the thermionic and incandescence source of running a fluorescent tube which is actually difficult to get started due to the resistance of the gases enclosed inside, a Radio Frequency signal of 30MHz  generated using a designed Hartley Oscillator is employed. The power of the signal generated is amplified from 231mW to 197.8W using a modeled inverter. The coupled Hartley oscillator and the inverter form an ionizing circuit. The gases inside fluorescent tube consist of mercury Vapor, argon, krypton or Neon. When sufficient energy is supplied to these gases, by the ionizing circuit, ionization and excitation takes place which makes otherwise neutral gases, to change state to a cloud of ionized gas called Plasma. When excited electrons in the gases return to the ground state they lose energy in packets called Photon. This Photon is ultraviolet light which is not visible to the human eye but when it strikes the walls of the tube coated with Phosphor it glows whereby light is generated. The high electric field Radio frequency circuit designed has generated light in a fluorescent tube without the use of starter and ballast. It has also generated light in otherwise “dead” or disused fluorescent bulbs.
