Abstract
A 1/2- mu m gate-length pulse-doped pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) grown by MBE, which exhibits a current-gain cutoff frequency of 62 GHz, is discussed. The maximum available gain cutoff frequency was greater than 150 GHz. A minimum noise figure of 0.85 dB and associated gain of 14 dB were measured at 10 GHz. Tuned small-signal gain in a waveguide-to-microstrip test fixture at 44 GHz was 7.6 dB. When the HEMT was tuned for power, 260 mW/mm with 5-dB gain and 17% power-added efficiency were obtained at 44 GHz. These results suggest that a 1/2- mu m pseudomorphic HEMT is a viable candidate for Q-band applications.Keywords
