This paper reports our development of a monolithic InP HEMT based power amplifier showing state-of-the-art V-band performance. A single-stage amplifier with 600um cell periphery demonstrated 224 mW of output power at the peak power-added efficiency of 43% with 7.5 dB power gain at 60 GHz. To the best of our knowledge, this is the best combination of output power and efficiency reported to date at this frequency for a solid . state amplifier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
