Broadband power amplifiers based on a new monolithic ceramic technology

A novel monolithic ceramic technology especially developed for high-power applications is proposed. Broadband power amplifiers based on this technology have demonstrated output powers in the range of 1-2 W over the 6-18-GHz frequency band, with good efficiency and high reproducibility. The fast turnaround, high yield, and batch production associated with this technology result in low fabrication costs and the ability to respond quickly to customer needs. The excellent heat dissipation, low circuit losses and fine photolithography lead to state-of-the-art performances.<
