A low quiescent current, 40% efficiency three-stage PHEMT power amplifier MMIC for PCS CDMA application

Abstract: This paper reports a three-stage PHEMT power amplifier (PA) MMIC with low quiescent current and high power added efficiency (PAE) for 1.9GHz PCS CDMA application. Based on an accurate extracted large signal PHEMT model, the effects of harmonic terminations as well as envelope termination to power, linearity and PAE have been investigated and the results have been applied to the PA design. The threestage PCS CDMA PA attained over 40% PAE, 0.8-watt output power and 30dB gain at -45dBc adjacent channel power reje… Show more
