Power Amplifier for Satellite Communication Using Ku Band

B. N. Ganthade

Abstract: Wireless communication systems have become ubiquitous in our daily lives. The requirements for these wireless applications vary depending on the input signal type and operating frequency. A minimum of an RF modulator, filter, mixer, power amplifier (PA), and an antenna on the transmitter side are present in the majority of wireless communication systems. In practically all wireless communication systems, the design of each of these components is essential. Which power amplifier design is the most important since the wireless system's output power is dependent on the PA's capacity to amplify low - power radio waves to the necessary level. The design, simulation, and analysis of a single - stage Ku band power amplifier based on 0.25?m GaN - HEMT technology are discussed in this study. An ADS schematic of the suggested PA.
