  • 基于经验基EEHEMT等效电路模型, 针对AlGaN/GaN HEMTs提出一种可缩放大信号模型, 以准确获取宽栅多指器件的电学性能. 所提出的模型从器件的栅宽、栅指个数角度出发, 分别对器件模型的本征参数漏源电流、栅源电容和栅漏电容制定了相应的缩放规则. 为了验证所提缩放大信号模型的准确性, 通过总栅宽为14.4 mm的L频段GaN高效率功率放大器进行比对验证, 仿真与测试结果在1120—1340 MHz频带内功率值不低于46.5 dBm, 漏极效率值不低于70%, 结果高度吻合. 此外, 利用该模型在对大栅宽GaN HEMTs基波信息进行准确仿真的基础上能很好预测器件的高次谐波信息, 可为先进大功率、高效率的微波功率放大器的设计提供重要支撑.
    With the rapid development of wireless communications, GaN HEMT, which has various advantages of high power density, high electron mobility, and high breakdown threshold, receiving increasing attention. Microwave power amplifiers based on GaN HEMTs are widely used in many fields, such as communication, medical, and detection instruments. In the accurate design of GaN microwave power amplifiers, reliable RF large signal model is vitally important. In this paper, a scalable large-signal model based on EEHEMT model is proposed to describe the properties of multifinger AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) accurately. A series of scaling rules is established for the intrinsic parameters of the device, including drain-source current Ids, input capacitance Cgs and Cgd, which take into account both the gate width of a single finger and the number of gate fingers. With the proposed scalable large-signal model, the performance of the L-band GaN high-efficiency power amplifier with a gate length of 14.4 mm is analyzed. This amplifier demonstrates outstanding performance, with the output power reaching to 46.5 dBm and the drain efficiency arriving at over 70% of the frequency range from 1120 MHz to 1340 MHz. Good agreement between the simulations and experiments is achieved, demonstrating the excellent accuracy of the proposed model. Moreover, the proposed model can further predict the performance of high-order harmonics, providing an effective tool for designing advanced high-power and high-efficiency microwave power amplifiers. Certainly, the EEHEMT model fails to characterize the dynamical behavior induced by trapping and self-heating effects. Thus, for further consideration, scaling models for the thermal resistance and heat capacity need further investigating to broaden the application scope of the proposed model in the case of continuous waves.
