A high linearity MMIC RF power amplifier is reported in the AlGaN/GaN HEMT technology. In order to obtain high linearity, a pre-linearization gate diode is added at the input to compensate for the nonlinear input capacitance C gs of the GaN HEMT device. Another single-ended Class B power amplifier without the gate diode is also designed for comparison. The circuit with the pre-linearization gate diode demonstrates at least 4dB improvement on 3rd order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) performance over the one without the diode over the useful power range in two-tone measurement.

With the current development in wireless communication technology, the need for a wide bandwith in RF power amplifier (RF PA) is an essential. In this paper, the design and simulation of 10W GaN HEMT wideband RF PA will be presented. The Source-Pull and Load-Pull technique was used to design the input and output matching network of the RF PA. From the simulation, the RF PA achieved a flat gain between 15dB to 17dB from 0.5GHz to 1.5GHz. At 1.5GHz, the drain efficiency is simulated to achieve 36% at the output power of 40 dBm while the power added efficiency (PAE) was found to be 28.2%.
