چکیده
A novel adaptive current biased CLASS-A/shallow AB RF power ampli ̄er is demonstrated in this paper. By theoretical deduction, a prototype is described to improve the linearity of a linear PA. With the realization on Jazz 0:35 m SiGe HBT process and test veri ̄cation, the novel adaptive current biased RF power ampli ̄er shows 3 7 dB improvement of the ACPR at the output power of 19 dBm to meet the demand of CDMA IS95 spectrum mask without debasing the e±ciency.

SiGe-based Power Amplifier for CDMA Handset Circuitry
Technical progress in bringing SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology to reality has been exceptionally rapid. The first functional SiGe HBT was demonstrated in December 1987, only fifteen years ago. In this fifteen years, since the first demonstration of a functional transistor, SiGe HBT technology has emerged from the research laboratory, entered manufacturing on 200-mm wafer...
متن کاملPerformance comparison of state-of-the-art heterojunction bipolar devices (HBT) based on AlGaAs/GaAs, Si/SiGe and InGaAs/InP
This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of three state-of-the-art heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs); the AlGaAs/GaAs HBT, the Si/SiGe HBT and the InGaAs/InP HBT. Our aim in this paper is to find the potentials and limitations of these devices and analyze them under common Figure of Merit (FOM) definitions as well as to make a meaningful comparison which is necessary for a technol...
متن کاملAn 8.4 GHz SiGe/Si HBT-Based MMIC Power Amplifier
A single-stage X-band MMIC power amplifier incorporating a SiGe/Si power HBT and lumped passive components is reported. The power HBT is characterized by an fmax of 67 GHz and a BVCBO of more than 24 V. The matching circuits were designed for maximum output power using on-chip spiral inductors and SiO MIM capacitors. Continuous wave measurements were made at 8.4 GHz, under class A operation. Th...
متن کاملPhysics and Modeling of Noise in SiGe HBT Devices and Circuits
This paper gives an overview of the physics and modeling of noise in SiGe HBT devices and circuits, including RF broadband noise, low-frequency noise, and oscillator phase noise. The ability to simultaneously achieve high cutoff frequency (fT ), low base resistance (rb), and high current gain (β) using Si processing underlies the low levels of low frequency 1/f noise, RF noise and phase noise o...
