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

A Millimeter-Wave Direct Digital Transmitter Using Multiphase Subharmonic Switching PA 150 150

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 …
