In this contribution an integrated HPA-DPDT for next generation AESA TRMs is presented. The proposed circuit relies on a concurrent design technique merging switches and HPA matching network. Realized MMIC features a 3×5mm2 outline operating in the 6-18 GHz band with a typical output power of 2W, an associated PAE of 13% and 3dB insertion loss in RX mode.
