Abstract:A millimeter-wave (mmWave) gallium nitride (GaN) high-power amplifier (HPA) monolithic microwave-integrated circuit (MMIC) was implemented, considering a source via effect. In this paper, we introduce guidelines for designing GaN HPA MMICs, from device sizing to meeting high-power specifications, power matching considering source via effects, schematic design of three-stage amplifier structures, and electromagnetic (EM) simulation. Based on the results of load pull simulation and small-signal maximum stable ga… Show more
