Abstract

A metal partition wall is placed inside a waveguide without ridge or the like and has an aperture in which a GaAs-FET is located, so that the input and output are coupled only through this GaAs-FET. The input and output terminals of the GaAs-FET are coupled through L-shaped coupling to the waveguide. An amplifier thus constructed has a high gain and is best adapted for power, while because the metal partition wall also serves as a heat sink.
