摘要：

With the increase in the demand for high-speed transmission communication, satellite communication is developing rapidly. Because of the bandwidth capacity, the K/Ka band is considered the mainstream frequency band of satellite communication. The performance of a power amplifier (PA) directly affects the power of the transmitter, so the application of a power amplifier in Ka-band satellite communication is very important. A review of the state-of-the-art PA in the Ka band is presented in this article. The structure of the PA introduced includes common source, cascode, stacked field-effect transistor (FET), power combining, and Doherty PA, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages. The main solid-state technologies are outlined, including Si, SiGe, GaAs, and GaN, emphasizing Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) due to low price and high integration.
