  • Abstract
    Summary form only given, as follows. An advanced GaN semiconductor process has made possible the design and fabrication of W-band power amplifier MMICs with unprecedented performance. Power amplifier MMICs have been designed and fabricated that demonstrate output powers of 1.7 watts, power added efficiencies greater than 20%, and small signal gains of 21 dB. In addition, the compactness of these MMIC designs have allowed for MMIC power densities (MMIC output power relative to MMIC area) exceeding 1/2 watt per square mm.
