June 2006 [Components] S-Band Power Amp Incorporates Bare Die Radar systems require higherpower but affordable solidstate high-power amplifiers (HPAs). The design of an efficient, low-cost HPA is particularly challenging given the expense of high-frequency, packaged transistor devices. By eliminating the packages, however, it is possible to save on the cost of developing an HPA. By mounting bare silicon transistor die on aluminum-nitride (AlN) carriers, and protecting the devices with a low-cost plastic cover, an S-band HPA was... |
