A monolithic three stage HPA has been developed for wide band applications. This MMIC is fabricated on UMS 0.25 µm GaN technology based on SiC substrate. At 18GHz, the MMIC achieved in CW mode 10W of output power with 20dB linear gain and 20% power added efficiency. The HPA provided 6 to 10W output power over 6 to 18GHz with minimum small signal gain of 18dB. These obtained performances are very promising and very close to the simulations, this will allow a very short term further improvement. This demonstration is the first MMIC on the UMS 0.25µm GaN technology. TH3D: High Power and Broad Band Amplifiers.
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.
