A 1 watt GaAs power amplifier for the NASA 30/20 GHz communication systemA multistage GaAs FET power amplifier, employing cascaded balanced stages using state-of-the-art 1/4, 1/2, and 1 watt devices, has been developed. A linear gain of 30 dB with 1.25 watts output has been achieved over a 17.7 to 19.4 GHz frequency band. The development and performance of the amplifier and its components are discussed.
