Abstract
This paper presents the results obtained on X-Band GaN MMICs developed in the frame of the Kerrigan project launched by the European Defense Agency. A new step was achieved, 58 W of output power with 38% PAE in X-Band were obtained using an 18 mm 2 2-stages amplifier. To our knowledge, these results present a new state-of-the-art of X-Band MMIC power amplifiers.
