Power Amplifier 130-170GHz
The WEA130170P55S consists of four cascaded differential amplifying stages.
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.
