摘要
A power amplifier (PA) in distributed amplifier technique for the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) standard is presented. The amplifier was fabricated in a standard 0.13 mum CMOS technology and comes with an on-chip biasing circuitry and a non-distributed input stage. Measurement results are given for a chip-on-board module to take any influence of a product assembly into account. It achieves a transmission coefficient S-21 = 17 dB, a corner frequency of f(c) = 8 GHz and a 1 dB compression point of A(1dB) = 3.5 dBm. The output impedance is matched to 50 Omega so that external matching circuitry can be omitted. With these features it is customized to be integrated with the other building blocks to a fully integrated CMOS UWB transmitter product.
