Abstract:
Base stations require high-power devices operating at bias voltage around 26 V. This paper reports on GaAs HBTs with increased breakdown voltage. Transistors on unthinned wafers deliver 3.2 W at 2 GHz for 27 V bias. 100 Ohms output impedance and 74% PAE make them very attractive for base-station amplifiers.
