Abstract: Monolithic microwave integrated circuits are provided that include a substrate having a transistor and at least one additional circuit formed thereon. The transistor includes a drain contact extending in a first direction, a source contact extending in the first direction in parallel to the drain contact, a gate finger extending in the first direction between the source contact and the drain contact and a gate jumper extending in the first direction. The gate jumper conductively connects to the gate finger at two or more locations that are spaced apart from each other along the first direction.

Abstract: A transistor package includes a transistor and one or more bandwidth limiting matching networks. The one or more bandwidth limiting matching networks are coupled to one of a control contact and an output contact of the transistor in order to limit the gain response of the transistor outside of a predetermined frequency band. Specifically, the transistor package has a gain roll-off greater than 0.5 dB within 200 MHz of the predetermined frequency band, while providing signal losses less than 1.0 dB inside the predetermined frequency band at a power level greater than 240 W. By providing the bandwidth limiting matching networks in the transistor package, the gain response of the transistor may be appropriately limited in order to comply with the spectral masking requirements of one or more wireless communications standards, for example, Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards.
