Non-linear modeling, analysis, design and simulation of a solid state power amplifier based on GaN technology for Ku band microwave application
A new non-linear method for design and analysis of solid state power amplifiers is presented and applied to an aluminum gallium nitride, gallium nitride (AlGaN-GaN) high electron-mobility transistor (HEMTs) on silicon-carbide (SiC) substrate for Ku band (12.4 13.6 GHz) applications. With combining output power of 8 transistors, maximum output power of 46.3 dBm (42.6 W), PAE of 43% and linear ga...

In this paper the linearity performances of harmonic tuned microwave power amplifiers is discussed and analysed, inferring some useful design guidelines. By a simplified active device model, the effects of the amplifier harmonic loads on the intermodulation distortion are investigated and experimentally validated showing the IMD3 performances of four hybrid amplifiers, designed using different ...
متن کاملMMIC class-F power amplifiers using field-plated GaN HEMTs
Abstract: Class-F microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers (PA) fabricated in a GaN technology are reported. Field-plated GaN HEMT devices are used for highpower performance. Two MMICs are reported. The first class-F MMIC PA operating at 2.0GHz achieved a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 50% with 38dBm output power and 6.2W/mm power density. A second class-F PA operating a...
