Abstract

A 2-W monolithic microwave integrated circuit power amplifier, operating between 3.3 and 3.8GHz by implementing AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic high electronic mobility transistor for the applications of wideband code division multiple access, wireless local loop, and multichannel multipoint distribution service, is demonstrated. This two-stage amplifier is designed to fully match 50/spl Omega/ input and output impedances. With a dual-bias configuration, the amplifier possesses the characteristics of 30.4dB small-signal gain and 34dBm 1-dB gain compression power with 37.1% power added efficiency. Moreover, with a single carrier output power level of 24dBm, high linearity with a 43.5-dBm third-order intercept point operating at 3.5GHz is also achieved.
