Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper a highly linear amplifier using an in-house gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) technology is presented. A 3 dB bandwidth of 2.7-3.6 GHz with a maximum gain of 18 dB was measured. The output third-order intercept point (OIP3) was measured to 39 dBm with a maximum power consumption of 2.1 W. With a reduction of power consumption to 1 W the noise figure was improved by 0.6 dB while the OIP3 was degraded 3 dB.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The growth, fabrication, and performance of AlGaN/AlN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) with a total barrier thickness of 7 nm are reported. An optimized surface passivation and an Ohmic recess etch yield HEMTs exhibiting 0.72 S/mm peak extrinsic DC transconductance at a current density of 0.47 A/mm. Devices with a gate length of 90 nm achieve 78 GHz unity-current-gain frequency and up to 166 GHz maximum frequency of oscillation. The minimum noise figure at 10 GHz is 0.52 dB with an associated gain of 9.5 dB.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An X-band low phase noise AlGaN-GaN HEMT MMIC push-push oscillator is designed, fabricated, and characterized. The oscillator is based on two common gate Colpitts oscillators. A minimum phase noise of -101 dBc at 100 kHz offset is achieved. The MMIC was fabricate in an 'in-house process' at Chalmers University of Technology.
