A monolithic integrated, on chip matched GaAs power amplifier for HIPERPLAN with a single 3.3v supply

Abstract

For HIPERLAN a three stage monolithic integrated power amplifier was designed and realized with a single 3.3 V supply. In the frequency range of 5.15 to 5.3 GHz the MESFET amplifier delivers a saturated output power of 21.8 dBm and 19 dB gain at the ldB compression point. Full input and output on chip matching networks are included on a chip size of 1 mm × 2 mm
