  • Abstract
    A state-of-the-art GaAs power MESFET operating at a drain bias of 2.9 V has been developed using the high-low doped channel structure grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The device has 0.6 μm gate length and 16 mm gate width. The power performance tested at a 2.9 V drain bias and 900 MHz operation frequency was output power of 31.5 dBm with 11.5 dB gain and 64% power-added efficiency.
