Abstract
This paper deals with the impact of GaN HEMT gate lag on radio performance of LTE TDD amplifier with digital predistorter (DPD). The mechanism of the gate lag with equivalent circuit modelling of GaN HEMT is investigated assuming RC delay circuit. Circuit parameters are extracted experimentally by measuring time constants with various conditions. Parameters related to gate lag is directly correlated with system radio performance for 4G mobile communications. Based on the extracted parameters and comparison of system parameters between 4G-LTE and 5G NR, device parameters required for 5G applications are proposed.
