Abstract :
Design and performance of a 30 dBm high-efficiency MMIC amplifier module for 6-18 GHz are presented. It consists of a single MMIC, comprising two FETs, their interstage circuit and elements for input pre-matching, which is embedded between off-chip input and output hybrid matching circuits. Thus, tuning capabilities are maintained, while the chip size is minimized.
