Abstract
In this paper we present a state-of-the-art Power Amplifier module operating at S-band. The power module consists of an InGaP HBT MMIC amplifier at 3.5 GHz with the necessary bias and output matching networks integrated using standard surface mount components. As such the module is truly 50 /spl Omega/ matched at input and output ports with no external circuitry required. The technology chosen for the module is a low cost, high volume ball grid array (BGA) technology, which is widely available. The power module gave a peak output power of 27.5 dBm and a power added efficiency of 44% from a single +5 V supply.
