摘要
In this paper, we report a C-band power amplifier with over 340-W output power using 0.8-mu m GaN-HEMTs and an X-band power amplifier with over 100-W output power using 0.25-mu m GaN-HEMTs. We used two-chip configurations and the three-stage impedance transformers to extend the bandwidth for both circuits. The input and output lines adjacent to each chip are divided by four to suppress the non-uniform heat distribution in a chip at high frequencies. As a result, we obtained 343-W output power and 53-% power added efficiency (PAE) at 4.8 GHz. This is the highest output power ever reported C-band power amplifiers. We also obtained 101-W output power and 53-% PAE at 9.8 GM. This is also the highest PAE ever reported X-band power amplifiers with over 50-W output power.
