摘要
In this paper, we report a DHBT power cell with 76% PAE at 21 GHz, and the first DHBT MMIC PA operating at 22 - 24 GHz. The MMIC amplifier combines four power cells where each power cell is made up of two 1.5x30 mum(2) emitter fingers, yielding a total emitter area of 360 mum(2). A practical design approach is employed to yield a single-ended, single stage power amplifier which achieved a record high output power density per chip area of 0.36 - 0.38 W/mm(2) at 23 GHz.
