Abstract(in English) In this paper, a 30W-class X-band high-efficiency Internally Matched FET (IMFET) implemented in a 0.15 um GaN HEMT process is presented. The fabricated HPA has achieved the Pout of 28-31.5 W and the PAE (power added efficiency) of 57-60% and the gain of 11-12.5dB over 8% relative bandwidth. To the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the highest level performance among ever-reported ones.
