Impulse-doped GaAs power FETs for high efficiency operation

Abstract
We have fabricated impulse-doped GaAs power FETs demonstrating 59% power-added efficiency with 10.4 dB associated gain and 0.33 W/mm at 10 GHz. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest power-added efficiency ever reported at X-band for a GaAs FET.
