Abstract :
A compact (1.8 by 3.0 by 3.8 cm) WR-10 waveguide amplifier module providing 310-mW power output, 20-dB gain, and 5 GHz of 1-dB bandwidth at a center frequency of 96 GHz is described. The module is comprised of 22 identical PHEMT chips, 4-way microstrip power combiners and dividers, and a 4-way waveguide power combiner.<>
