Abstract:
This article presents a 2–18 GHz high-efficiency CMOS nonuniform distributed power amplifier (NDPA) with a novel reconfigurable inductive termination technique for ultra-broadband efficiency enhancement. First, the inherent drawback of the degrading efficiency with growing frequency in a conventional non-reconfigurable NDPA architecture with multi-octave bandwidth is studied. A simple and effective reconfigurable …
