  • Abstract
    The industry offers microwave power transistors with ratings from 20 watts at 1 GHz to 5 watts at 3 GHz. The inclusion of broadband matching networks in the transistor package has yielded power amplifiers with several hundred MHz bandwidth. Solutions for some of the reliability problems; e.g., hot-spot formation, power imbalance, and metal migration, have been found.
