TA028: GaAs MMIC Processes Enable Multi-Function Integration, Increasing Reliability While Reducing Chip Size and Cost
After some 20+ years of DoD technology development, the commercial wireless market has become the driving force for the GaAs MMIC industry. As the very low-cost requirements of the wireless industry have conflicted with the high-performance process needs and longer time-horizon of the defense

M515: Techniques to Achieve High Isolation with GaAs MMIC Switch Chips
The achievable isolation of a GaAs MMIC switch is a function of how low an inductance one can achieve between the ground pad of the MMIC and the ground plane within a particular circuit. The lower the inductance, of course, the higher the isolation that can be achieved. For example, the curves

M542: Electrical Characterizations of Packages for use with GaAs MMIC Amplifiers
A test methodology will be presented which combines the advantage of on-wafer RF probing with a TRL calibration to create a completely de-embeddable, novel "test fixture" capable of electrically characterizing most any style package or device. This scheme has been used to characterize many

TA029: Generic 2.5-W 60% Bandwidth C-Band MMIC Amplifier
This paper reports the design and test data of a generic 2.5-W two-stage C-band MMIC power amplifier developed using the MSAG(R) MESFET process. We measured typically a minimum PAE of 45% and 2.5W CW output power over the 4.5 to 7.4 GHz for the MMIC chip packaged on CuW carrier. The output power
