Abstract

This article presents a compact D-band power amplifier (PA) based on 250 nm InP DHBT, which consists of GSG pad and a 4-stage common-emitter. Electromagnetic (EM) simulation results indicate that the S-parameter exhibit favorable input / output return loss (>8dB) covering the whole D-band (110 - 170 GHz), and provides a peak gain of 23.3 dB at 135 GHz, with a 3dB bandwidth spanning 118 to 155 GHz. The PA is designed to produce a saturated output power (Psat) of 7.8 dBm at 140 GHz, and the Psat within the frequency range of 120 GHz to 182 GHz is over 7 dBm at the cost power of 70 mW while occupying a compact chip size of only 0.3 × 1.1
