Power PHEMT module delivers 4 watts, 38% P.A.E. over the 18.0 to 21.2 GHz band

Abstract
This paper describes performance of power PHEMT technology at K-band. Power PHEMT modules are shown to deliver an average output power of 4.7 watts and an average power-added efficiency (P.A.E.) of 38.5% over the 18.0 to 21.2 GHz frequency range for a 20 module sample size. Data are shown in statistical format. Peak module performance of 5.4 watts output power and 41.4% P.A.E. within the 18.0 to 21.2 GHz band is also presented. The results demonstrate the capability and advantages of using PHEMT technology over MESFET technology and TWTs.<>
