Thick-film MIM BST varactors for GaN power amplifiers with discrete dynamic load modulation
Due to their extremely low static current consumption, varactors based on BST are perfect devices for realization of tunable and re-configurable components. This work presents fully screen-printed MIM thick-film BST varactors that are used to tune the load impedance for GaN HEMTs. The varactor tuning voltage is supplied in discrete steps using a high-speed GaN-based modulator. Modulated measurements with LTE and WCDMA signals show, for the first time, the functionality of a BST-based load modulation system and the power consumption of the load-modulation in dynamic operation. Using discrete dynamic load modulation, an average PAE of 27.3% was measured for the LTE signal with an ACLR below −45 dB.
