  • Abstract
    Single-ended broadband power amplifier for X-band operation was designed and fabricated on GaAs with chip dimensions of 4.3 x 2.1 x 0.1 mm. The amplifier exhibited over 2 GHz of 1 db small signal bandwidth with more than 1.6 W at 9 db gain at mid-band CW operation with 20% power added efficienty. The recently developed, potentially high yielding, Ta2O5 capacitor technology enabled the small chip size.
