A High-Power Wideband Sub-THz Power Amplifier With Asymmetric Slotline-Based Series–Parallel Combiner in 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS Technology 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a high-power, wideband sub-terahertz power amplifier (PA) implemented in a 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The PA features a novel asymmetric slotline-based series–parallel combiner (ASSPC) for output power combining. The ASSPC provides both low-loss, wideband combining and efficient admittance matching for four differential cascode PA unit cells, …
