1 watt compact Ka-band MMIC power amplifiers using lumped element matching circuits

Abstract
A compact MMIC chip set for Ka-band communication systems has been developed. A two stage power MMIC amplifier using only lumped elements and narrowly spaced lines for the matching circuit delivers 1.44 watt at 30 GHz with a very small die size of 1.94 mm/spl times/2.0 mm. The designing scheme is confirmed to be useful for cost reduction.
