Abstract
Two 4.5-18 GHz MMIC amplifiers have been designed and fully tested. They have been fabricated using the Power pHemt process available at TriQuint Semiconductor, Texas. The first amplifier is a one stage distributed power amplifier which has been power optimised and exhibits 1W CW output power for a 6 dB associated gain. The second amplifier is a 2W three stage power amplifier with 20 dB gain. They are part of a first run launched in order to evaluate the different wideband structures and to improve linear and non linear models.
