초록

In this paper, we have designed a 2 stage MMIC power amplifier which has flat gains of in-band and reasonable out-band cutoff characteristics using 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ MESFET libra교 of ETRI. For the 1st stave, we obtaind P$_{1dB}$ of 9.2 dBm and gain 10.8 dB using 6 finger D-MESFET and P$_{1dB}$ of 18.4 dBm and gain of 10.8 dB using 14 finger D-MESFET for the 2nd stage, which is power matched using LIBRA's embedded TUNER. Also in-band gain flatness and out-band cutoff characteristics are obtained by attaching LC tank in the output matching circuit. The designed 2 stage MMIC power amplifier has bandwidth of 0.95~2.8 GHz, gain of 20 dB and P$_{1dB}$of 17.2 dBm. Especially gain flatness of $\pm$0.8dB was obtained in 1.8~2.5 GHz frequency ranges. And chip size is 1.4$\times$1.4 mm..4 mm.
