Abstract

A millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuit power amplifier operating in the frequency range between 186 and 212 GHz is presented. The amplifier, dedicated to high-resolution imaging radar and communication systems, is realized in a 100 nm gate length metamorphic high electron mobility transistor technology. The three-stage design with four parallel transistors in the output stage achieves a linear gain of more than 12 dB and provides a saturated output power of more than 9 dBm and 7 dBm at 192 and 200 GHz, respectively.
