Abstract

Power amplification in FET traveling-wave amplifiers is examined, and the mechanisms which limit power capability of the amplifier are identified. Design considerations for power amplification are discussed. A novel single-stage and two-stage monolithic GaAs traveling-wave power amplifier with over 250-mW power output in the 2-20-GHz frequency range is described.
