linear amplifier at X-band
First off we would need more insight into your design before we can make
and educated guess.
Simulated performance versus measured.
Circuit layout etc...
You are not using discrete components as matching elements, are you?
At 9GHz an easy way to see where the issue is, would be to get a piece of
copper foil (About the size of your RF traces) and move it around you circuit
till you see if you can kill the Osc / instability.
Also at 9GHz you better make sure your board manufacture has good enough
tolerances, or your whole design is unknown. A +/- 1 mil tolerance can be a killer
at high Frequencies.
I cant find a datasheet for that device so very difficult to help you without more info ... is it a single GaAsFET ? a GaAsFET MMIC (multistage) ?
do you have a link to a datasheet ? show us pix of board layoout and schematic you are using
cheers
