Two stage ultra-wideband power amplifier based on GaN HEMT

The research of a two stage ultra-broadband power amplifier based on GaN HEMT which operates in the frequency ranging from 3 to 8 GHz, is presented in this paper. The power devices TGF2023-2-02 and TGF2023-2-10 based on 0.25um GaN technology are respectively adopted in driver stage and power stage. A frequency compensation and multi-side impedance matching approach are employed in such a way that simultaneously provides appropriate output power and optimal wideband matching. And a fan shaped micro strip line is implemented in the input matching network of the driver stage to achieve broadband impedance transformer. It has been observed that 15-30 W output power with minimum small signal gain of 19.9 dB is demonstrated in the entire band.
