본 논문은 GaN HEMT (Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility Transistor)를 이용하여 Class-J 모드를 적용한 고효율, 광대역 특성을 갖는 전력증폭기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 Class-J 모드 전력증폭기의 정합회로는 2차 고조파 임피던스가 리액턴스 성분만 갖도록 하였으며, 1.4 ~ 2.6 GHz 주파수대역내에서 연속파 (CW) 신호를 사용하여 40 ± 1 dBm의 출력 전력과 50 % 이상의 전력부가효율 (Power-Added Efficiency, PAE) 및 60 % 이상의 드레인 효율 (Drain Efficiency, DE)이 측정되었다.
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a high efficiency and broad-band Class-J mode power amplifier using gallium nitride(GaN) high-electron mobility transistor(HEMT). The matching circuit of proposed class-J mode power amplifier for 2nd harmonic impedance designed to provide pure reactance alone. The measurement results show that output power of 40 ± 1 dBm, power-added efficiency of 50%, and drain efficiency of 60% for a continuous wave signal at 1.4 to 2.6 GHz.
