Its small-signal characteristics with a gate-length of 0.4 μm showed a unity current gain cut-off frequency (fT) of 22 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 65 GHz. The GaN HEMT device with a gate width of 1 mm exhibited a continuous-wave saturated output power of 10.2 W and a linear gain of 14.8 dB at 8 GHz, and successfully achieved the power-added efficiency (PAE) as high as 69.2%, which is very suitable for X-band power applications.展开更多
