In this paper, we report on the power and noise performance of AlGaN/GaN HEWS in the K (18 -27 GHz) band. At 20 GHz, a record CW output power of 2 W with an associated gain of 8 dB and PAE of 33 % has been achieved on a 8-finger 0.2 pm x 500 pm device. Minimum noise figure of 1.4 dl3 has been achieved on a 0.15 pm x 200 pm device at 26 GHz. The data demonstrate the viability of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs for high-frequency power and LNA applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
