Enhancement gate,., 3D-EMelectromagnetic. lossy matching,,. 6 10 GHz 20 db, 8 db, 27 dbm, 35 %. Abstract A 6 10 GHz wide-band power amplifier was designed using an InGaAs enhancement-modee-mode 0.15 μm pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor. The positive gate bias of the E-mode device removes the need for complex negative voltage generation circuits, therefore reducing the module size. The wire bond and substrate loss parameters were modeled and extracted using a three-dimensional electromagnetic3d EM simulation. For wideband characteristics, lossy matching was adopted and the gate bias was optimized for maximum power and efficiency. The measured gain, in/output return loss, output power, and power-added efficiency were greater than 20 db, 8 db, 27 dbm, and 35 %, respectively, in the 6 10 GHz band.
