A Review of GaN on SiC High Electron-Mobility Power Transistors and MMICs
TL;DR: Examples of broadband amplifiers, as well as several of the main areas of high-efficiency amplifier design-notably Class-D, Class-E, class-F, and Class-J approaches, Doherty PAs, envelope-tracking techniques, and Chireix outphasing are described.

N-way rf power amplifier circuit with increased back-off capability and power added efficiency using selected phase lengths and output impedances
TL;DR: In this article, a carrier amplifier for amplifying an RF signal over a first range of power and with a power saturation level below the maximum of the broad spectrum of power is disclosed, where a plurality of peak amplifiers are connected in parallel with the carrier amplifier.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Thermal analysis and its application to high power GaN HEMT amplifiers
TL;DR: In this article, a thermal modeling and measurement of GaN on SiC HEMT power transistors is described, where thermal resistances for a range of transistor structures and sizes as a function of power density, pulse length and duty factor are compared with measured channel temperatures and RF parameters.

RF transistor amplifier linearity using suppressed third order transconductance
TL;DR: In this paper, the linearity of a transistor amplifier comprising a plurality of transistors operating parallel is improved by reducing the odd order transconductance derivatives of signals generated by the transistors.
