Abstract :
A two-stage 13 GHz negative resistance amplifier utilizing commercially available GaAs FETs in a sealed container has been realized. The amplifier performs a 0.5 W output power, a 16 dB linear gain, an AM to PM conversion cf less than 3°/dB in the instantaneous bandwidth of 500 MHz. The estimated MTTF exceeds 106 hours. Its application in a 34 Mbit/s 4-PSK 13 GHz radio link is being described.
