A three stage 28 GHz InP MMIC coplanar waveguide implifier with 27 dB
gain over the frequency band from 26 to 32 GHz has been developed. The
circuit is fully passivated with Si3N4 and includes all necessary ele
ments for input/output matching and bias decoupling. As active devices
0-25 mum lattice matched InAlAs/InGaAs HEMTs were used. The chip dime
nsions are 2.4 x 2.0 mm2.
