  • Abstract
    The GaAs FET has excellent potential as a microwave power amplifier and has demonstrated an f t 2 (PX) product exceeding that of silicon bipolar devices. The design, fabrication, and performance limitations of GaAs power FETs is discussed. Experimental results for a multigate 4 GHz device and a single gate 7 GHz device are presented.
