Abstract

A high power and high gain packaged power MMIC module f r Ka-band applicati ns perating under a single polarity bias supply has been developed for the first time.This PA module consists f tw pseudomorphic HEMT MMICs,with Lg=0.25um,packaged in a single power module. These MMICs operate without a gate bias control v ltage when the gate bias is shunted in the package. This PA module pr vides 30dBm utput p wer and approximately 30dB of gain in the 27-31GHz range. The single bias supply perati n pr vides significant cost advantage to the device manufacture as well as the end user since there is no need to design a gate contr l bias network.
