Abstract
A low cost, 3-7 GHz, 1/2 Watt MMIC GaAs amplifier has been successfully designed and tested. The amplifier features small chip size (1.2 mm sq.), high gain (12 +-1.5 dB), high power added efficiency (20%), good RF yield (57%) and high tolerance to process variations. Packaged amplifiers were built with this chip for both the 2-6 GHz and the 5.9-6.4 GHz bands. Saturated output power of 25 dBm was achieved in the 2-6 GHz band, and 27 dBm in the 5.9-6.4 GHz band.
