In this paper, we design and fabricate the L-band high speed pulsed HPA using LDMOS FET. And we propose the high voltage and high speed switching circuit for LDMOS FET. The pulsed HPA using LDMOS FET is simpler than using GaAs FET because it has a high gain, high output power and single voltage supply. LDMOS FET is suitable for pulsed HPA using switching method because it has 2 ∼ 3 times higher maximum drain-source voltage (65 V) than operating drain-source voltage (Vds = 26 ∼ 28 V). As results of test, the output peak power is 100 W at 1.2 GHz, the rise/fall time of output RF pulse are 28.1 ns/26.6 ns at 2 us pulse width with 40 kHz PRF, respectively.
