Abstract • MMIC PA ( monolithic microwave integrated circuit power amplifier ) ( 3.3~3.8 GHz ) ( AlGaAs / InGaAs/GaAs PHEMT ) • Application (WCDMA , WLL , MMDS ) • Performance (30.4dB small-signal gain ) (34dBm 1-dB power compression) (37.1% PAE) (43.5 dBm IP3 )
Terms • PHEMT ( pseudomorphic high electronic mobility transistor) • WCDMA ( wide band code division multiple access ) • WLL ( wireless local loop ) • MMDS (multichannel multipoint distribution service ) • 1-dB power compression point • PAE ( power added efficiency ) • IP3 ( third-order intercept point )
Circuit design 1 • De-embedded -two port S parameters ( 1.25mm PHEMT ) -HP8510c vector network analyzer • Parasitic parameter ( cold-FET method ) • Intrinsic parameter ( hot-FET method ) -Reference [9][10]
Circuit design 2 • Output matching network -transfer max output power from the FET to a 50 Ω system • Inter-stage matching network -transfer ΓIN,2to minimize the mismatch loss • Input network -improve impedance match for a better input return loss • Micro-strip line ( design rule )
Process • Fabricated by conventional photolithography on AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs PHEMT structure • Gate length ( 0.4 μm ) • Gate width ( 1.25mm)(Q1)(5mm)(Q2) • Dimension -1.97mm*1.33mm
Result • MMIC( vd=8v ,vg=-0.81v, Ids=700mA) (driver)(150mA)(power)(550mA) • P1dB ( 34 dBm ) , PAE ( 37.1% )
Conclusion • Small dimension • 34dBm P1dB , 37.1% PAE • 30.4dB small-signal gain • 10/5 dB input / output return loss • 43.5dBm third-order intercept point • Suitable for W-CDMA , MMDS
