  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In this article, a novel simple load network with harmonic tuning, which is based on a stepped‐impedance transmission line is presented.Based on effect of a spectrum narrowing when poles of the reactance function are approaching adjacent zeros with higher transmission line impedance ratio, an open circuit at the second harmonic and a short circuit at the third harmonic are achieved, thus satisfying inverse Class F conditions. Design example of the load network with second and third harmonic tuning and effect of the device output shunt capacitance <jats:italic>C</jats:italic><jats:sub>out</jats:sub> and series inductance <jats:italic>L</jats:italic><jats:sub>out</jats:sub> with design equations are described and analyzed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
