Abstract: A sub-1-mm2 die area is presented. This small die with the compact source network (CSN) and compact load network (CLN) can be fully packaged in a small form factor. Previous solutions have integrated all components into the die with complicated matching and bias networks, resulting in a large and expensive die area. Innovative component merging and compact bond-wire matching in the CSN and CLN have substantially reduced the die size for future massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) small cells. This proposed DPA was designed and fabricated using a commercial 150-nm GaN/silicon carbide (SiC) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) process to validate architecture and design methodologies.
