Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Gallium nitride (GaN)-based power amplifier (PA) design for various frequency bands. GaN-based technology has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional silicon-based amplifiers due to its superior performance characteristics, which are discussed in this paper. This paper also discusses the key design parameters and challenges associated with PA design. Various design techniques and topologies for GaN power amplifiers are explored besides addressing theoretical considerations of PA design along with a complete systematic design procedure for L-Band amplifier using the wolfspeed large signal GaN HEMT model. To further demonstrate the useful methodology, the designs of S-band and C-band PAs are also presented. GaN-based devices are very promising candidates for high-power applications. It is widely used in various high-power applications including communication and radar.
