Abstract
This paper reports on the fully matched, HBT MMIC power amplifier operating at the Ka-band with >1W CW output power. At 30 GHz, the power amplifier delivered maximum output power of 1.59 W with peak PAE of 35% and 6.5-dB linear gain. The achieved performance indicates that HBTs are strong candidate as cost-effective MMICs for Ka-band wireless applications.
