Abstract
A hybrid microwave and millimeter wave integrated circuit (MMIC) RF power amplifier includes an integrated circuit in which an amplifier circuit is fabricated and an output impedance matching network comprising metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors mounted on the integrated circuit chip with bonding wire inductors connecting the amplifier circuit with the capacitor elements. The resulting structure has a smaller form factor as compared to conventional power amplifiers employing planar transmission lines and surface mount technology capacitors.
