Item Open Access Design considerations for MMIC distributed amplifiers(IEEE, 1994) Ergun, Şanlı; Atalar, AbdullahThe bandwidth of the input artificial line in a distributed amplifier is the main band limiting factor. By choosing this impedance properly the bandwidth of a distributed amplifier can be maximized. A four section GaAs MESFET distributed amplifier is designed using this strategy. The fabricated MMIC amplifier gives satisfactory performance. By adding proper length of series transmission lines in the drain side, the gain and the gain flatness of the amplifier can be further improved. This fact is presented via simulation results. The superior gain potential of cascode connected FETs is also demonstrated.Item Open Access High power K-band GaN on SiC CPW monolithic power amplifier(IEEE, 2014-10) Cengiz, Ömer; Şen, Özlem; Özbay, EkmelThis paper presents a high power amplifier at K-band (20.2-21.2 GHz). The AlGaN/GaN CPW MMIC amplifier is realized with 0.25 μm HEMT process on 2-inch semi-insulating SiC substrate. The amplifier has a small signal gain over 20 dB for Vds=15V and measured output power of over 31 dBm at 20.2 Ghz. PAE of the amplifier is around 22% for desired frequency band. Initial radiation hardness tests indicate a suitable stability of the technology in space. © 2014 European Microwave Association.
