A study based on improving linearity of an integrated RF power amplifier (PA) has been done for W-CDMA standard. This power amplifier had been designed in 65 nm CMOS of STMicroelectronics under Cadence. The chosen linearization technique is a Cartesian Feedback (CFB). Thanks to this linearization technique, the ACPR has been improved by 22 dB at 5 MHz from the carrier for an output power of 18 dBm.
This paper presents a 65 nm CMOS power amplifier (PA) using a coupled transformer. The PA is based on an original structure, called stacked folded fully differential structure (SFFDS). It is applied to the UMTS W-CDMA standard. The parallel SFFDS power amplifier provides 30.5 dBm of output power with 20% of power added efficiency (PAE) at 1.95 GHz. The output compression point (OCP1) is 27.5 dBm and...
This paper deals with the challenges of designing and implementing a PA dedicated to 3G applications in a CMOS 65 nm technology. High linearity and high power applications impose several bottlenecks from the layout point of view. The difficulties are increased by the use of a low cost technology. Reduce the size of the circuit while increasing the power leads to think of a different layout topology...
