  • Abstract
    A monolithic W-band power amplifier has been developed to promote the output power performance, This monolithic two-stage balanced power amplifier has demonstrated a small signal gain of 7 dB and an output power of 175 mW at 90 GHz, which represents state-of-the-art output power performance for a monolithic amplifier at this frequency. This monolithic chip is fabricated using 0.1-/spl mu/m AlGaAs-InGaAs-GaAs pseudomorphic power HEMT MMIC production process.<>
