Design of 18–40 GHz GaN reactive matching power amplifiers using one‐order and two‐order synthesised transformer networks

Abstract A reactive matching (RM) power amplifier (PA) can achieve higher efficiency than a distributed amplifier (DA). In this paper, RM PAs that cover 18–40 GHz are proposed by using one‐order and two‐order synthesised transformer networks (STNs) with GaN on Si technology. In this band, the PAs ca...
