A high efficiency enhancement mode power heterostructure FET has been developed for single supply podable applications. The device requires only a single 3V supply for operation, making it an ideal candidate for portable applications. At 850 MHz, a 1 .O pm x 12 mm N-type FET exhibited a power output of +30.7 dBm, power gain of 10.6 dB, and a power-added efficiency of GO%, at a drain to source voltage of 3V, and drain to source quiescent current of 150 mA. This device was fabricated on a standard Complementary G a As (CGaAsTM) process flow, which is capable of simultaneously building lowvoltage, low-power digital circuits (200MHz), high-speed digital ciircuits (5 GHz), and RF power circuits (900 MHz).
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.
