Abstract

A RF power amplifier module comprises a die with a RF power transistor and the RF power transistor comprises a control terminal, a transistor output terminal and a transistor reference terminal. The RF power amplifier module further comprises a module input terminal, a module output terminal and at least two module reference terminals being electrically coupled to the control terminal, the transistor output terminal and the transistor reference terminal, respectively. The RF power amplifier module further comprises an electrically isolating layer and a heat conducting element. The die is in thermal contact with the heat conducting element via the electrically isolating layer in order to transfer heat during operation of the RF power transistor to the heat conducting element.
