  • Abstract
    We report well-scaled 50 nm GaAs metamorphic HEMTs (mHEMTs) with DC power consumption in the range 1-150 muW/mu demonstrating fT of 30-400 GHz. These metrics enable the realisation of ultra-low power (<500 muW) radio transceivers for autonomous distributed sensor network applications
