A Novel System for Recovery Time Measurements of GaN-Based Low-Noise Amplifiers

Abstract:

A novel setup allowing for recovery time measurement of robust GaN LNA is presented in this paper. The setup is based on an PNA-X vector network analyzer and allows for the characterization of the LNA’s small-signal gain, while it also monitors overdrive pulse power and reflected pulse power. The system setup and operation is shown in detail. As an example, two different GaN LNAs were measured in order to validate the test setup.
