Analysis and Design of Power Amplifier Using Parallel-Combined Multisegment Transformer 150 150
Author(s): Geuntae Kim, Hyunjin Ahn, Kyutaek Oh, Ilku Nam, Ockgoo Lee

Abstract:

This letter presents a highly efficient power amplifier (PA) using a parallel-combined vertical multisegment transformer for 5G new radio (NR) applications operating in bands n257 and n258, in a 65-nm bulk CMOS process. A multisegment transformer facilitates a lower provided input impedance than a conventional transformer, enabling the PA to …

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

A High-Power Wideband Sub-THz Power Amplifier With Asymmetric Slotline-Based Series–Parallel Combiner in 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS Technology 150 150
Author(s): Gunwoo Park, Hyunjoon Kim, Sanggeun Jeon

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, …

220 GHz, 8.5-dBm Saturated Output Power Wideband Power Amplifier in SiGe BiCMOS

220 GHz, 8.5-dBm Saturated Output Power Wideband Power Amplifier in SiGe BiCMOS 150 150
Author(s): Xun Chen, Jonas Winkelhake, Muh-Dey Wei, Renato Negra

Abstract:

This letter presents a broadband $G$ -band power amplifier (PA) designed in a 130-nm silicon-germanium (SiGe) bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. Unlike dual-band matching and staggered tuning techniques to obtain large operation bandwidth (BW), we propose a common broadband amplification stage in this work for its flexibility. In each stage, inductive …
