Abstract: A three-stage MMIC power amplifier operating from 6 to 18GHz is fabricated using 0.25μm AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT).The amplifier is fully monolithic,with all matching,biasing,and DC block circuitry included on the chip.The power amplifier has an average power gain of 19dB over 6~18GHz.At operation frequencies from 6 to 18GHz,the output power is above 33.3dBm,and the maximum output power of the MMIC is 34.7dBm at 10GHz.The input return loss is less than -10dB and the output return is less than -6dB over operating frequency.This power amplifier has,to our knowledge,the best power gain flatness reported at C-X-Ku-band applications.
