Gallium nitride material transistors and methods associated with the same
are provided. The transistors may be used in power applications by
amplifying an input signal to produce an output signal having increased
power. The transistors may be designed to transmit the majority of the
output signal within a specific transmission channel (defined in terms of
frequency), while minimizing transmission in adjacent channels. This
ability gives the transistors excellent linearity which results in high
signal quality and limits errors in transmitted data. The transistors may
be designed to achieve low ACPR values (a measure of excellent
linearity), while still operating at high drain efficiencies and/or high
output powers. Such properties enable the transistors to be used in RF
power applications including third generation (3G) power applications
based on W-CDMA modulation.
