2-V-operation delta-doped power HEMT's for personal handy-phone systems

Abstract

A high-efficiency and high-power-density delta-doped AIGaAs/InGaAs HEMT with low adjacent channel leakage has been developed for the digital wireless personal handy-phone system (PHS). When qualified by 1.9-GHz pi/4-shifted quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulated PHS standard signals, the 2.0-V-operation HEMT with a 1-mm gate width demonstrated a power-added efficiency of 45.3% and an output power density of 105 mW/mm. This is the highest power density ever reported by the power transistors for the PHS. The state-of-the-art results for the PHS operating at 2.0 V were achieved by the delta-doped power HEMT for the first time.
