Summary :

High power amplifier technologies for base transceiver stations (BTSs) for the 5th generation (5G) mobile communication systems and so-called beyond 5G (B5G) systems are reviewed. For sub-6, which is categorized into frequency range 1 (FR1) in 5G, wideband Doherty amplifiers are introduced, and a multi-band load modulation amplifier, an envelope tracking amplifier, and a digital power amplifier for B5G are explained. For millimeter wave 5G, which is categorized into frequency range 2 (FR2), GaAs and GaN MMICs operating at around 28GHz are introduced. Finally, future prospect for THz GaN devices is described.
