This paper presents two MMIC broadband high power amplifiers of 4 mm of periphery at the output stage in the frequency band 2-6 GHz. The amplifiers are based on Al-GaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) technology on SiC substrate. They have been fabricated in two different european fondries: SELEX Sistemi Integrati and QINETIQ. SELEX has a gate process technology of 0.5 um, and devices of 10x100um periphery in microstrip technology and QINETIQ has a gate-length of 0.25mu, and devices of 8x125um in coplanar technology. The coplanar amplifier from QINETIQ has demonstrated an output power of 8W in continuous wave at Vds=20V which confirm model predictions. On the other hand, SELEX microstrip amplifier has a saturation power of 10W CW at Vds=25V and 4 GHz. This amplifier measured on-wafer in pulsed conditions exhibits a maximum power of 17W at Vds=30V. | |
