This article presents a new design methodology of a reconfigurable dual-band output matching network with high efficiency. The implemented output matching network achieves a passive efficiency of 71.6% and 75% at 2.4 and 5.5 GHz, respectively. Based on the proposed output matching network, a transmi...
