Millimeter-Wave GaN Power Amplifier Design
Edmar Camargo
This book gives you—in one comprehensive and practical resource—everything you need to successfully design modern and sophisticated power amplifiers at mmWave frequencies. The book provides an in-depth treatment of the design methodology for MMIC power amplifiers. It brings you step by step through the various phases of design, from the selection of technology and preliminary architecture considerations, to the effective design of the matching circuits and conversion of electrical-to-electromagnetic models.
Detailed figures and numerous practical applications are included to help you gain valuable insights into these technologies and learn to identify the best path to a successful design. You will be guided through a range of new mmWave power applications that show particular promise to support new 5G systems, while mastering the use of GaN technology that continues to dominate the power mmWave applications due to its high power, gain and efficiency.
This is a valuable resource for power amplifier design engineers, technicians, industry R&D staff and anyone getting into the area of power MMICs who wants to learn how to design at mmWave frequencies.
