Ku Band Power Amplifier MMIC Based on GaN HEMT Technology
A three stage Ku band GaN power amplifier MMIC was developed with 0.25 m GaN HEMT technology.The MMIC was designed in micro-strip technology.Based on the large signal model
the amplifier adopted reactance matching network to reduce the insertion loss of the output stage
which improved its associated efficiency.The measurement results exhibited that this amplifier provided a flat small signal gain of 30dB and a pulsed saturated output power of 15W at the drain voltage of 28V over the 14.6~18GHz frequency range.At 14.8 GHz
a peak output power of 19.5W with power added efficiency of 39% was achieved.
