摘要
An accurate analysis of emitter ballasting, taking into account the current gain dependence on the temperature and the collector current is presented in this paper. Numerical computations of current-voltage characteristics have been performed using the emitter ballasting resistance as a parameter. Power HBTs for mobile communications have been fabricated. Load-pull measurements at the L band have shown 30 dBm maximum output power and 45% power added efficiency with 8.5dB associated gain.
