A three-stage power amplifier for a 20 GHz monolithic transmit module
Abstract
Design, fabrication, and test results of a three-stage GaAs monolithic power amplifier covering the 17.7 to 20.2 GHz band are described. Intermediate results for single and two-stage amplifiers are also presented. The 1.5 x 3.1 millimeter three-stage amplifier chip has 15 dB gain from 16.5 to 20.2 GHz. Measured saturated output power is between +20 and +21 dBm with improvement expected from minor circuit and device changes.
