Abstract: |
This paper introduces a newly-developed W-band solid-state GaN power amplifier millimeter wave(MMW) source,gives its system composition and operational principle,and provides the basic performance and experimental results of primary components including W-band solid-state Gunn driving source,W-band guide-microstrip line transposition and main amplifier chip.The MMW source operates at 94 GHz,its continuous wave power output is larger than 300 mW,linear gain is 10 dB,power-added efficiency(PAE) is greater than 16%.During the development of W-band solid-state MMW source,the choice of its monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC) power amplifier of semiconductor material has undergone GaN,GaAs and InP,which clearly demonstrates that the output power,gain,efficiency and high temperature performance of W-band GaN MMIC power amplifier is superior to that of other solid-state MMIC power amplifiers.The high power technology of W-band solid-state GaN MMIC is likely to result in new revolutionized technology and application in the MMW field. |
