Abstract

A 250 nm indium phosphide (InP) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) based wideband and novel gain-boosted single-ended power amplifier is presented for millimeter-wave frequency range. A common-emitter configuration is used with feedback embedding network to boost the gain upto Gmax (Maximum Achievable Gain) from Gma (Maximum Available Gain) of HBT. We achieved the Gma up to U (Mason's Gain) due to the instability of HBT. The achieved power gain is 7.2-dB with 61 GHz bandwidth (285-346 GHz), and the power consumption is 114 mW. The ultrawideband and high gain characteristic of the proposed amplifier makes it an attractive choice for the wide range of terahertz and next-generation 6G communication circuits.
