摘要
A large periphery high power AlGaN/GaN HFET grown on a silicon substrate has demonstrated over 150 W of CW RF output power along with excellent drain efficiency of 65%. When operated under WCDMA modulation and 28 V-dc drain supply voltage, these devices produced 20 W of RF output power with a corresponding drain efficiency of 27% while achieving an adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of -39 dBc. A 36 mm device was tested in a DPD lincarizer under multi-carrier WCDMA modulation and achieved 20 dB of linearity improvement with 35% drain efficiency. Lastly, device reliability data is presented and shows extrapolated 20 year drift estimates of less than 1 dB for Psat.
