Power Amplifier 130-170GHz
Overview
The WEA130170P55S consists of four cascaded differential amplifying stages. The first three stages are cascode stages,while the final one is a common emitter stage. Transformers are used as matching networks between the stages. An output balun is used to transform the final stage differential output to a single ended. The scaling of the devices maximize the power amplifier’s linearity performance.
