This paper presents a multi-layered bandpass filter (BPF) and a power amplifier module (PAM) integrated with a SAW duplexer based on heterogeneous ceramic substrates. The heterogeneous substrates are composed of two different ceramic layers with εr = 7.4 and 17.5 in order to take advantage of their own properties. In the PAM substrate, a DC blocking capacitor and a shunt capacitor for an output matching network of a power amplifier are embedded with a material of εr = 17.5 to reduce occupied areas of the capacitors. On the other hand, a quarter-wave-length stripline and RF chokes are realized with a material of εr = 7.4 to reduce signal delay time. In the multi-layered BPF, a coupled stripline and a high shunt capacitor are embedded with materials of εr = 7.4 and 17.5, respectively, resulting in improved spurious characteristics.

This paper reviews the Wideband Power Amplifier (PA) that has been developed since 1990. Several journals had been discussed in this paper covers few topics such as Characterization of Power Amplifiers, Power Amplifier Architecture and Linearization Technique. Advantages and disadvantages of the technique used had been highlighted as well as the summary of those cases been compiled in the table form for comparison purposes. Power Amplifier is one of the important parts in transmitter. However, when involve transistor as an active device, it is important to ensure that the signals are stabilized and transmitted at higher efficiency. This leads to the proposal of a new design of Wideband Power Amplifier based on the concept of the multiplexer.
