A 10 and 20 W X-band power amplifier quasi-MMICs
Two one-stage X-band power amplifier quasi-MMICs are reported in this paper. Each of the power amplifiers include GaN HEMT dice, matching networks (input and output) made on semi-insulating GaAs and polycor frame established on metal plate. The first power amplifier utilizes two TGF2023-2-01 and demonstrates more than 10 W output power with above 34 % PAE over 8.12 GHz band. The second power amplifier utilizes two TGF2023-2-02 to surpass 20 W output power with greater than 35 % PAE over 9.12 GHz band.
