    Design and Realization of a Multi Octave GaN Distributed Power Amplifier

    • 摘要: 分布式放大器结构是一种能够实现极宽带宽的放大电路结构。不过由于晶体管自身功率密度的限制,分布式放大器大多用于小信号放大器的设计中。第3 代宽禁带半导体GaN 具有击穿场强高、输出功率密度大的优点,随着GaN 晶体管的发展成熟,将其应用于分布式放大器结构中能够实现宽带功率放大器。本文采用4 个GaNHEMT(高电子迁移率晶体管)分立器件进行分布式功率放大器设计,并以混合集成电路工艺加工,实现了0. 3 ~ 2. 5GHz 的多倍频程宽带功率放大器。最终得到的测量结果显示,功率放大器在0. 3 ~2. 5GHz 的频带内,饱和输出功率大于39dBm,线性增益大于8dB,最大PAE 大于15%。

       

      Abstract: Distributed amplifier is an amplification structure which can realize ultra-broadband amplification. However, due to the output power density of transistors,distributed amplifier was found application mostly in small signal amplification. The third generation wide band gap semiconductor GaN present itself with the characteristics of high breakdown voltage and high output power density. By applying GaN technology to distributed amplifier, a wideband power amplifier can be dem onstrated. We design a 0. 3 ~2. 5GHz multi octave distributed power amplifier with four GaN HEMTs(High Electron Mobility Transistor) and realize it with HMC(Hybrid Monolithic Circuit) technology. The measure result shows that the saturated output power is above 39dBm and PAE is larger than 15% in the 0. 3 ~2. 5GHz bandwidth with a linear above 8dB.
