  • Abstract
    An X-band MMIC power amplifier with an on-chip temperature compensation circuit has been presented. The temperature compensation circuit is composed of a diode and a resistor. The compensation circuit is applied to a 4 stage X-band MMIC power amplifier. The gain variation is improved from 5.5 dB to 1.3 dB in the temperature range between -10 degC and +80 degC.
