RF power amplifier is an important component of wireless communication system,Its efficiency directly affects energy consumption, stability of the whole system and the requirements for power cooling unit.Improve the efficiency of RF power amplifiers can save energy, reduce power consumpfon, so high efficiency RF power amplifier is the mainstream. In this paper, we select the transistors MW6S004N of Freescale, through ADS2013 software, using load- pull technology and source-pull technique to get optimum load impedance and optimum source impedance, and use the Smith chart to match the circuit design, Finally, simulation and optimization the RF power amplifier. Simulation results show that at the frequency of 1960MHz in the L-band, the input power is 21dBm, the RF amplifier output power greater than 36dBm, the power added efficiency greater than 50% .get a high efficiency RF power amplifier that used for the base station of WCDMA. Therefore, this method has important reference value to design high efficiency power amplifier that used for base station.
