摘要
报道了X波段脉冲输出功率超过400 W的GaN HEMT内匹配功率管。该器件内部包含了4只14.4mm栅宽GaN HEMT管芯。输入输出同时采用了一级L-C阻抗变换和两级微带阻抗变换器。该器件在9.0~10.0GHz频带内,在漏极电压为50V、脉冲宽度100μs、占空比10%测试条件下,输出功率达到了400 W以上,功率增益大于9dB,附加效率高于37.7%,带内峰值输出功率450 W。
An X-band pulse-mode GaN HEMT power transistor with over 400 Woutput power was reported.Four GaN HMET dies of 14.4 mm gate width were included inside the transistor.One-stage L-C impedance transformer and two-stages micro-strip line impedance transformer were employed for input and output matching networks simultaneously.Under the drain voltage of 50 Vand the pulse condition(100μs pulse width,10% ratio),during the operation frequency band of 9.0 GHz to 10.0 GHz,the output power is higher than 400 W,the power gain is more than 9 dB,the PAEis higher than 37.7%,and within the whole band,the highest output power is about 450 W.
