A Multistage High-Power Avalanche Amplifier at X Band
Year: 1969 Journal: IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits Vol: 4 (6)Pages: 396-399 Publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Abstract
A solid-state amplifier at X band consisting of three cascaded avalanche amplifier stages is described. The amplifier has a gain of 36 dB and a power output of 0.20 watt. A noise figure of 31 dB was measured, using silicon devices in all three stages. Through a combination of microstrip and coaxial circuit techniques a compact unit of 2.5 X 2.5 X 1.0 inches has been obtained. The amplifier operates from a 100-volt supply and consumes approximately 12 watts of dc power.
