  Abstract

Using InGaP/GaAs HBT power cells with a 2.0×20㎛2 emitter area of a unit HBT, a two stage. MMIC power amplifier has been developed for IMT-2000 handsets. An active-bias circuit has been used for temperature compensation and reduction in the idling current. Fitting on measured S-parameters of the. HBT cells, circuit elements of HBT's nonlinear equivalent model have been extracted. The matching circuits have been designed basically with the extracted model. A two stage HBT MMIC power amplifier fabricated using ETRI's HBT process. The power amplifier produces an I-dB compressed output power(P₁-dB) of 28.4 dBm with 31% power added efficiency(pAE) and 23-dB power gain at 1.95 GHz in on-wafer measurement. Also, the power amplifier produces a 26 dBm output power, 28% PAE and a 22.3-dB power gain with a -40 dBc ACPR at a 3.84 MHz off-center frequency in COB measurement.
