1 EE-711 Millimeter Wave Electronics Spring 24 Assignment Week 7-8 Power Amplifier Design Due: Tuesday, June 1, 9:45 11:45 a.m. Bo Zhao Ping Chen
2 1. Requirements and parameters Zg and Z L impedance of 5 Ohm. Frequency of operation: 6.2 GHz; Substrate e r =3.27; thickness: 15 mils; Strip thickness:.15 mil; sigma: 5.813e7; tand:.1; Design the necessary input and output matching networks. You can try either distributed elements or use lumped elements. Simulate your final amplifier circuitry in ADS. Draw a scaled drawing of the layout including the bias networks. Present in class your design and simulated results and layout. 2. Design procedure and results A) FET DC Bias point and bias circuits We choose HP-ATF26884 as our transistor. Fig. 1 is the DC I-V Curves, and fig. 2 gives the ADS suggested bias point for class A power amplifier. We choose our bias point at V DS = 3. V, I DS = 18 ma and V GS = -.6 V. 5 Device I-V Curves 4 VGS=. VGS=-.2 DC.IDS.i, ma VGS=-.4 VGS=-.6 VGS=-.8 VGS=-1. VGS=-1.2 VGS=-1.4 VGS=-2. VGS=-1.8 VGS= VDS= 3. VDS DC.IDS.i=.18 VGS=-.6 Fig. 1 Fig. 2

This also gives us better gain and noise figure compared to other values. B) S-parameter simulation S-Parameters, Noise Figure, Gain, Stability, Circles, and Group Delay versus Frequency Term Term1 Z=Z amplifier X1 Term Ter Z=Z S-PARAMETERS S_Param SP1 Start=4 GHz Stop=8 GHz Step=.1 GHz CalcNoise=yes Set System Impedance Z: Var VAR VAR1 Z=5 Set S-parameter analysis frequency range.

From fig 4(a), we have, Г S = Z opt * = j17.9, and Г L with be conjugate matched to Z out = 9.5 j19.8. By doing this, we can reach the minimum noise figure of.936 db and power gain G T = db. 2) Second stage power amplifier For second stage amplifier, the noise figure is less important. So we want to design it for
5 maximum available gain and balance between gain, stability and noise figure. In fig. 5 we can see the blue available power gain circles and brown noise figure circles. For the Г S on each circle, it will give same available power gain or noise figure. The red circle is the source stability circle. And since S11<, the region outside the source stability circle is stable. When we move Г S to the point marked as GammaS in fig 5(a), we can get high gain and still good noise figure. Then we can calculate Г out and have load impedance conjugate matched with this. Since the Г out and Г L are conjugate matched, the transducer power gain will equal to available power gain around 14 db. Available Gain & Noise Circles, Source Stability Circle Source Gamma.

6 C) Input and output matching networks From part B), we know both Г s and Г L for the pre-amplifier and second stage transistor. With this information, it s easy to design input and output matching networks using single-stub microstrip line. The results are showed in fig 6 (low noise pre-amplifier) and fig 7 (second stage power amplifier). Here we give both schematic and S-parameter results.
