Abstract :
A GaAs power amplifier IC in a SOIC-16 plastic package has been developed for the 1.9 GHz Digital European Cordless Telephone (DECT) system. The power amplifier consists of two stages with all matching structures on chip and has a total area of 1.84 mm2. At -2 dBm input power and 3.6 volts, the typical power amplifier achieves 26 dBm output power with 30% power-added efficiency, while operating from a single power supply in the SOIC-16 plastic package
