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 …

A 40.68-MHz Dual-Output Wireless Power Transfer System for Millimeter-Scale Biomedical Implants

A 40.68-MHz Dual-Output Wireless Power Transfer System for Millimeter-Scale Biomedical Implants 150 150
Author(s): Tianqi Lu, Sijun Du

Abstract:

This article presents a single-link, dual-output wireless power transfer (WPT) system operating at 40.68 MHz for miniature, high-power biomedical implants. The elevated carrier frequency enables a millimeter-scale receiver (RX) coil while maintaining link efficiency and output power comparable to low-frequency WPT designs. End-to-end (E2E) efficiency is optimized through global power …

A Millimeter-Wave Direct Digital Transmitter Using Multiphase Subharmonic Switching PA

A Millimeter-Wave Direct Digital Transmitter Using Multiphase Subharmonic Switching PA 150 150
Author(s): Soumya Mahapatra, Mostafa Ayesh, Ce Yang, Mayank Palaria, Shiyu Su, Aoyang Zhang, Mike Shuo-Wei Chen

Abstract:

This article presents a direct digital transmitter (TX) employing a multiphase subharmonic switching (MP-SHS) power amplifier (PA) to achieve both high peak and power back-off (PBO) efficiency with wide signal bandwidth. A phase-shifted subharmonic (SH) local oscillator (LO) divider is proposed to suppress SH spurs with minimal implementation overhead by …

A 0.7-V Multiclass Digital Doherty Power Amplifier for BLE Applications With 41% Peak DE in 22-nm CMOS

A 0.7-V Multiclass Digital Doherty Power Amplifier for BLE Applications With 41% Peak DE in 22-nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): Edoardo Baiesi Fietta, David Seebacher, Davide Ponton, Andrea Bevilacqua

Abstract:

This letter presents a multiclass, asymmetric digital Doherty power amplifier (DDPA) for Bluetooth low energy (BLE) applications, that achieves high efficiency at full-scale as well as at 8.6-dB back-off using a single 0.7-V supply voltage. The proposed DDPA is made of two power-combined switched-capacitor power amplifiers (SCPAs) and uses an …
