Abstract :
A monolithic HBT power amplifier is presented for S and C band applications. The amplifier provides greater than 15 watts of peak output power at S and C bands with approximately 18 dB of gain. The amplifier also provides a minimum of 10 watts output power across the entire frequency range that encloses both bands.
