摘要
A new interstage matching technique has been proposed and successfully applied to a D-band amplifier in a 65-nm CMOS technology. The proposed technique is based on a simultaneous conjugate matching at the interstages of multistage amplifiers at two frequencies, resulting in an increased bandwidth. The six-stage amplifier designed based on this technique shows a peak gain of 13.8 dB at 113.7 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 11.2 GHz (110.6-121.8 GHz) without balun loss compensation, while consuming a dc power of 40 mW. Measured noise figure shows a minimum value of 10.8 dB at 115 GHz. The output P-1 dB and the saturation output power P-sat are -14 and -3 dBm, respectively. The circuit occupies an area of 1100 x 550 mu m(2).
