The chipset components include a GaN-on-Si monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) driver amplifier (DA), a GaN-on-SiC high power ampli-fier (HPA) with GaAs matching circuits, a high-gain GaN-on-Si HPA with a GaAs output matching circuit, and a GaN-on-Si MMIC switch (SW). By utilizing either combination of the DA or single high-gain HPA, the configurations of two T / R module types can be realized. The GaN-on-Si MMIC DA demonstrates an output power of 6.4–7.4W, an associate gain of 22.3–24.6dB and a power added e ffi ciency (PAE) of 32–36% over 9.0– 11.0GHz. A GaN-on-SiC HPA with GaAs matching circuits exhibited an output power of 20–28W, associate gain of 7.8–10.7dB, and a PAE of 40– 56% over 9.0–11.0GHz. The high-gain GaN-on-Si HPA with a GaAs output matching circuit exhibits an output power of 15–30W, associate gain of 27–30dB, and PAE of 26–33% over 9.0–11.0GHz. The GaN-on-Si MMIC switch demonstrates insertion losses of 1.1–1.3dB and isolation of 10.1– 14.7dB over 8.0–11.5GHz.

Additionally, GaN PAs have been integrated enough to be used for 5G and Beyond-5G. In this paper, a high accuracy large-signal GaN-HEMT modeling technique including the trapping e ff ects is introduced in mm-waves.

Silhouette images of hand gestures were acquired by use of a display panel as an illumination. Reconstructions of gesture images have been performed by numerical experiments on single-pixel imaging by changing the number of illumination mask patterns. For the training and the image restoration with deep learning, we prepared reconstructed data with 250 and 500 illuminations as datasets. For each of the 250 and 500 illuminations, we prepared 9000 datasets in which original images and reconstructed data were paired. Of these data, 8500 data were used for training a neural network (6800 data for training and 1700 data for validation), and 500 data were used to evaluate the accuracy of image restoration. Our neural network, based on U-net, was able to restore images close to the original images even from reconstructed data with greatly reduced number of illuminations, which is 1/40 of the single-pixel imaging without deep learning. Compared restoration accuracy between cases using shadowgraph (black on white background) and negative-positive reversed images (white on black background) as silhouette image, the accuracy of the restored image was lower for negative-positive-reversed images when the number of illuminations was small. Moreover, we found that the restoration accuracy decreased in the order of rock, scissor, and paper. Shadowgraph is suitable for gesture silhouette, and it is necessary to prepare training data and construct neural networks, to avoid the restoration accuracy between gestures when further reducing the number of illuminations.","PeriodicalId":13259,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Trans.

We investigated the influence of knee voltage and gate-voltage clipping behaviors on drain efficiency as limiting factors for the current source. Numerical analysis using a simplified transistor model was carried out. As a result, we have demonstrated that the limiting factor for class-F -1 operation is the gate-diode conduction rather than knee voltage. On the other hand, class-F PA is restricted by the knee voltage effects. Furthermore, nonlinear measurements carried out on a GaN HEMT validate our analytical results.","PeriodicalId":13259,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Trans.
