We report a high-performance GaN MMIC power amplifier operating from 40MHz to 4,000MHz. The MMIC achieved 80W pulsed (100us pulse width and 10% duty cycle) output power (P5dB) with 54% efficiency at 40MHz, 50W with about 30% efficiency across most of the mid band, and gradually decreases to 30W with 22% efficiency at 4000MHz. Power gain is 25dB across the 40–4000MHz band. This ultra wideband performance is achieved by both tailoring the device output impedance, and using a unique wide-band, circuit-matching topology. Detailed design techniques of both the device and the matching circuit will be presented.
