Abstract

AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) were developed for X-band applications. The operating voltage and temperature dependence of output power characteristics in CW operating conditions were investigated. The developed AlGaN/GaN HEMT with combined two dies of 11.52 mm gate periphery exhibits output power of over 81.3W with a power added efficiency (PAE) of 34% under V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DS</sub> =30V, CW operating condition at 9.5GHz, and a gain compression level of 3dB
