Abstract :
An advanced high power, high frequency GaN semiconductor process has been used to design high performance E-band power amplifier MMICs demonstrating unprecedented output power, PAE and reliability. To the author´s knowledge, these power amplifier designs demonstrate performance beyond previously published results for E-band power amplifier MMICs.
