    A novel jig structure for S11 calibration with short/open conditions and one reference material (referred to here as SOM) in dielectric measurement of liquids using a coaxial feed type stepped cut-off circular waveguide and a formula for exact calculation of S11 for the analytical model of the structure using the method of moments (MoM) was proposed. The accuracy and validity of S11 values calculated using the relevant formula was then verified for frequencies of 0.50, 1.5 and 3.0 GHz, and S11 measurement accuracy with each termination condition was verified after calibration with SOM by combining the jig of the proposed structure with the study's electromagnetic (EM) analysis method. The relative complex permittivity was then estimated from S11 values measured with various liquids in the jig after calibration, and differences in results obtained with the proposed method and the conventional jig, the analytical model and the EM analysis method were examined. The validity of the proposed dielectric measurement method based on a combination of the above jig structure, numerical S11 calculation and the calibration method was thus confirmed.

    This paper proposes a methodology for designing broadband class B/J power amplifier based on a mirrored lowpass filter matching structure. According to this filter theory, the impedance of this design method is mainly related to the cutoff frequency. Series inductors and shunt capacitors filter out high frequencies. The change of input impedance with frequency is small in the passband. Which can suppress higher harmonics and expand bandwidth. In order to confirm the validity of the design method, a broadband high-efficiency power amplifier in the 1.3 - 3.9GHz band is designed and fabricated. Measurement results show that the output power is greater than 40.5dBm, drain efficiency is 61.2% - 70.8% and the gain is greater than 10dB.
