摘要
A 69-81 GHz broadband power amplifier (PA) is implemented on TSMC 90 nm 1P9M CMOS low power (LP) process. Utilizing wideband power matching topology, the PA achieves a flat measured output saturation power (P-sat) of 12.5 +/- 0.5 dBm from 70 to 80 GHz. The maximum P-sat is 12.8 dBm at 76 GHz with peak power added efficiency (PAE) of 9.9% and the output 1-dB compression point (OP1dB) is 9.5 dBm. The PA exhibits flat gain performance of 20 +/- 1.5 dB from 69 to 81 GHz which is suitable for 71-76 GHz E-band radio applications.
