Abstract

This paper presents the effective improvement of the thermal runaway phenomenon in high power SSPA when the RF input signal is not provided. The total gate resistors are optimized by the experiments and deducing the variation of velocity and currents of thermal runaway, which is based on manufacturer's recommendation. Especially, it is solved the complex thermal runaway that related gate resistors with the gate voltage variable circuit. The result of this paper is able to apply for improving the thermal runaway in existence of high power SSPA for WLL, cellular system and PCS repeater.
