Broadband Fully Integrated GaN Power Amplifier With Embedded Minimum Inductor Bandpass Filter and AM–PM Compensation

Fully integrated high quality factor GmC bandpass filter stage with highly linear operational transconductance amplifier

This paper presents an electrical, fully integrated, high quality (Q) factor GmC bandpass filter (BPF) stage for a wireless 27 MHz direct conversion receiver for a bendable sensor system-in-foil (Briem et al., 2016). The core of the BPF with a Q factor of more than 200 is an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) with a high linearity at an input range of up to 300 mVpp,diff. The OTA’s si...

Fully Integrated CMOS Power Amplifier

A fully integrated 2.45 GHz 0.25μm CMOS power amplifier

A fully integrated differential class-AB power amplifier has been designed in a 0.25um CMOS technology. It is intended for medium output power ranges such as Bluetooth class I, and has an operating frequency of 2.45GHz. By using two parallel output stages that can he switched on or off, a high efficiency can be achieved for both high and low output power levels. The simulated maximum output pow...

Power amplifier linearization technique with IQ imbalance and crosstalk compensation for broadband MIMO-OFDM transmitters

The design of predistortion techniques for broadband multiple input multiple output-OFDM (MIMO-OFDM) systems raises several implementation challenges. First, the large bandwidth of the OFDM signal requires the introduction of memory effects in the PD model. In addition, it is usual to consider an imbalanced in-phase and quadrature (IQ) modulator to translate the predistorted baseband signal to ...

WATT GAN HEMT POWER AMPLIFIER FOR LTE 5 Watt GaN HEMT Power Amplifier for LTE

This work presents the design and implementation of a stand-alone linear power amplifier at 2.4 GHz with high output power. A GaN HEMT transistor is selected for the design and implementation of the power amplifier. The device exhibits a gain of 11.7 dB and a drain efficiency of 39 % for an output power of 36.7 dBm at 2.4 GHz for an input power of 25 dBm. The carrier to intermodulation ratio is...
