The successful development of a new four‐stage 1‐W AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs PHEMT MMIC with a temperature‐compensating GaAs feedback resistor is reported. It was found that we can significantly reduce the gain variation in the temperature range between −40 and 80°C from 7 dB to less than 3 dB by using the temperature‐compensating GaAs feedback resistor. It was also found that the use of the GaAs feedback resistor will neither result in a decrease in output power nor a decrease in the PAE of P sat for the temperature compensated power amplifier. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
