摘要
本文报道了一种采用0.25 um GaN技术的x波段MMIC功率放大器的设计,首次提出了C类偏置条件下的谐波处理方法。输出网络提供基频处的功率匹配条件和三次谐波处的开路条件;适当的输入二次谐波阻抗保证了漏极电流分量之间的正确相位比。该解决方案允许在8.5 GHz - 9.5 GHz频段内达到超过60%的效率。
Class F-C X-band MMIC GaN power amplifier: An extension of waveform engineering approach
This contribution reports the design of an X-band MMIC power amplifier in a 0.25 um GaN technology, proposing for the first time a harmonic manipulation approach on a class C bias condition. Output network provides the power matching condition at fundamental frequency and an open circuit condition at the 3rd harmonic; the correct phase ratio between drain current components is assured by the proper input 2nd harmonic impedance. This solution allows to reach an efficiency higher than 60% in the frequency band 8.5 GHz–9.5 GHz.
