Abstract
A compact X-band solid state module with greater than 70 watts and over 30 percent PAE has been demonstrated over 9.5 to 9.9 GHz. A peak power level in excess of 77 watts with an associated PAE greater than 31 percent is reported. Minimum gain is greater than 13 dB over this frequency range. This was accomplished by combining six highly reliable 12-watt HFET MMIC amplifiers.
