A Compact, Wideband Complex Cascode Power Amplifier With LC Neutralization for VSWR-Resilient Operation in High-Density Phased Arrays 150 150
Author(s): Mohamed Eleraky, Tzu-Yuan Huang, Hua Wang

Abstract:

This article proposes a design methodology for achieving intrinsic performance resilience in power amplifiers (PAs) against antenna impedance variations inherent to modern phased-array systems through the improvement of the PA output matching ( $S!_{22}$ ). This goal, however, presents a challenge for conventional cascode PAs due to their inherently high output impedance …
