Abstract
본 논문에서는 내부 고조파 조정 회로로 구성되는 셀룰러와 L-대역용 소형의 고효율 370 W GaN(Gallium Nitride) HEMT(High Electron Mobility Transistor) 소형 전력 증폭기(PA)를 구현하였다. 원천 및 2차 고조파 주파수에서 동시에 높은 효율을 내기 위해 새로운 회로 정합 형태를 적용했다. 소형화를 위하여 새로운 41.8 mm GaN HEMT와 2개의 MOS(Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 캐패시터를 구성 물질의 변화를 이용하여 열 저항을 개선한 <TEX>$10.16{\times}10.16{\times}1.5Tmm^3$</TEX> 크기의 새로운 패키지에 와이어 본딩으로 결합하였다. 드레인 바이어스 48 V 인가 시, 개발된 GaN HEMT 전력 증폭기는 370 W 포화 출력 전력(Psat.)과 770~870 MHz에서 80 % 이상, 1,805~1,880 MHz에서 75 % 이상의 드레인 효율(DE)을 나타내었다. 이는 지금까지 보고된 셀룰러와 L대역에서 GaN HEMT 전력 증폭기 중 최고의 효율과 출력 전력 특성이다. In this paper, a compact 370 W high efficiency GaN(Gallium Nitride) HEMT(High Electron Mobility Transistor) power amplifier(PA) using internal harmonic manipulation circuits is presented for cellular and L-band. We employed a new circuit topology for simultaneous high efficiency matching at both fundamental and 2nd harmonic frequency. In order to minimize package size, new 41.8 mm GaN HEMT and two MOS(Metal Oxide Semiconductor) capacitors are internally matched and combined package size <TEX>$10.16{\times}10.16{\times}1.5Tmm^3$</TEX> through package material changes and wire bonded in a new package to improve thermal resistance. When drain biased at 48 V, the developed GaN HEMT power amplifier has achieved over 80 % Drain Efficiency(DE) from 770~870 MHz and 75 % DE at 1,805~1,880 MHz with 370 W peak output power(Psat.). This is the state-of-the-art efficiency and output power of GaN HEMT power amplifier at cellular and L-band to the best of our knowledge.
