Qorvo Designs 1-8 GHz GaN Distributed PA MMIC With Novel Trifilar Transformer Utilizing NI AWR Software

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – May 31, 2017 -- Qorvo, a developer of RF systems and solutions for wireless and broadband communications, was challenged to meet the requirements for an amplifier with high output power, wide bandwidth, and high efficiency. The team used NI AWR Design Environment to innovate a 1-8 GHz power amplifier (PA) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) fabricated with a 0.15 µm gallium nitride (GaN) process technology. The design utilized a non-uniform distributed PA topology with a novel trifilar connected output transformer.

The performance of the PA compared favorably to recently published GaN MMIC PA benchmark results for bandwidth, gain, die size, and efficiency. The success of this project was due to the powerful circuit design capabilities of Microwave Office software combined with integrated AXIEM 3D planar electromagnetic simulation.
