A 14 W C-band power amplifier employing MMIC chips
Abstract
The paper presents a 14 W C-band power amplifier employing four 3.7 W monolithic power amplifier chips. The amplifier has 12 W power output with 7 dB gain and 34 percent power-added efficiency at the 1 dB compression point. At the 5.5 dB gain point, the power output obtained was 14 W.
