Research paper thumbnail of MMIC 1 watt wideband power amplifier chip set using pHEMT technology for 20/30 GHz communication systems

1999 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference. APMC'99. Microwaves Enter the 21st Century. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.99TH8473)

These two MMIC 1 watt power amplifiers were fabricated on a 4-mil GaAs wafer. Both MMIC power amplifiers showed 12~15 dB of linear gain and 30 dBm of output power with more than 20% power-added efficiency over their wide operating

APMC 2001. 2001 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (Cat. No.01TH8577), 2001

The proposed method employs the input signal to generate the equal amplitude but anti-phase intermodulation components produced by the HPA. This signal is combined at the output of HPA to reduce the intermodulation distortion levels. Hence the stability of the system is guaranteed due to the open loop configuration, and broadband operation is also possible similar to feedforward systems

A theoretical investigation of the high-frequency dependence of the calculated unilateral power gain U has been carried out, and conditions under which a switch from a 6-dB to 12-dB drop per octave is possible at large frequencies are reported. Novel current and voltage gains are proposed which permit meaningful comparison of the ordering of the current and voltage gain cutoff-frequencies with fmax
