我们报告了一种新的70-105 GHz宽带GaN功率放大器，它可以使下一代E和W波段发射机模块。两个版本的放大器。在70-105 GHz范围内，平衡设计在-20 dB时表现出出色的S11和S22，小信号增益超过16 dB，输出功率超过20 dBm，相关增益高于16 dB，功率附加效率超过6%。在90 GHz时，通过提高放大器的压缩水平，我们获得了24.5 dBm的输出功率，相关增益为12.4 dB，功率附加效率为13.2%。所提出的放大器可用于覆盖E和W波段的宽带发射器模块或覆盖波段较窄部分（71-76 GHz、81-86 GHz、90-96 GHz）的专用模块，其中它们可与更高功率的GaN放大器组合。
We report a new 70-105 GHz wideband GaN power amplifier which can enable the next generation of E and W-band transmitter modules. Two versions of the amplifier are presented. Across the 70-105 GHz range the balanced design demonstrates excellent S11 and S22 at -20 dB, small signal gain above 16 dB, output power above 20 dBm with associated gain higher than 16 dB and power added efficiency over 6%. By increasing the compression levels of the amplifier at 90 GHz we achieved output power of 24.5 dBm with associated gain of 12.4 dB and power added efficiency of 13.2%. The presented amplifier can be utilized in wideband transmitter modules covering E and W-band or in application specific modules covering narrower sections of the band (71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, 90-96 GHz) where they can be combined with higher power GaN amplifiers.
