Design of SiGe HBT power amplifiers for microwave radar applications

A novel modification to the standard cascode amplifier architecture is presented in SiGe which allows for an optimal separation of gain and breakdown functions through the mixed breakdown cascade architecture, opening the door for moderate power amplifiers in SiGe. Utilizing this technique, a two-st...
