Abstract
A DC-18 GHz MMIC tapered power distributed amplifier has been designed and simulated in GaAs technology. The amplifier has been designed according to the theory for power and efficiency maximization based on tapered drain lines.
Small- and large-signal simulations have been carried out to evaluate the amplifier’s behaviour. Results suggest that it is possible to achieve a good performance in terms of output power and efficiency for a wide bandwidth.
