Abstract

This paper presents an ultra-wideband (UWB) medium power amplifier (MPA) and a broadband high-power power amplifier (HPA) operating at the 5G/6G frequency bands. By using

$0.15~\mu \text{m}$

GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) technology process, the proposed UWB MPA delivers an average small-signal gain of 16.5 dB, a saturation output power (

$\text{P}_{\mathrm {sat}}$

) of 24 dBm, and a peak power-added efficiency (PAE) over 24% from 24 to 38 GHz with a chip area of

$2\times1$

mm2. The broadband HPA demonstrates a 17-dB average small-signal gain, 29-dBm

$\text{P}_{\mathrm {sat}}$

, and a PAE over 28% from 24 to 32 GHz with a

$2.4\times1.1$

mm2 chip size. The measurement results have demonstrated the great potential of the proposed PA for 5G/6G millimeter-wave applications.
