10W Ka Band MMIC Power Amplifiers based on InAlGaN/GaN HEMT Technology

Abstract

This paper presents the measurement results of a MMIC power amplifiers (PA), based on InAlGaN/GaN HEMT technology, for Ka band applications. The three-stages MMIC is operating within a bandwidth of [25-31] GHz and demonstrate over this bandwidth a saturated output power of 40dBm. Each stage uses 8x50μm gate width HEMTs fabricated with a 0.I5μm gate length on 70μm thick SiC substrate.
