Abstract
Performance of an HBT and a Quasi Enhancement Mode PHEMT (QE-PHEMT) unit cell is compared for wireless telephone PA applications. While the HBT has advantages of smaller chip size and single supply with no drain switch operation, the QE-PHEMT has higher efficiency and better low voltage characteristics. PA power control and device design trade-offs for both technologies are also discussed.
