Abstract

The design of balanced power amplifier (PA) is proposed in this manuscript which is operated from 46.0 to 66.5 GHz. The circuit is fabricated in WIN 0.15 μm GaAs pHEMT process. The performance of circuit is designed for achieving high output power and broadband characteristics. To further reduce the layout area for the coupler design, the three-dimensional of vertical coupling mode was used in the PA circuit. The circuit exhibits the small-signal gain of 10.0 dB. The maximum output power is up to 10 dBm. The total chip area including on-chip coupler is 1.16 × 0.79 mm2.
