Design and Optimization of CMOS RF Power Amplifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A CMOS radio-frequency power amplifier including on-chip matching networks has been designed in a 0.6m n-well triple-metal digital CMOS process, and optimized using a simulated-annealing-based custom computer-aided design tool. A compact inductor model enables the incorporation of parasitics as an integral part of the parasitic-aware design and CAD optimization; low-Q metal3 spiral inductors are used in the input and output matching networks. A 3-V 85 -mW balanced fully integrated Class-C power amplifier with a measured drain efficiency of 55% at 900 MHz has been designed, optimized, integrated, and tested.

The proposed architecture uses hysteretic control instead of pulse width modulation (PWM) which significantly reduces the circuit compl...
متن کاملA DC-coupled RF Amplifier in CMOS with DC-feedback
A CMOS multistage RF amplifier with DC coupling is presented. A complete optimisation of the various stages is done to maximize the RF gain for a given power budget. To decrease the effects of offsets and tolerances in high gain multistage amplifiers usually (lossy) AC coupling is used. The presented circuit employs DC coupling and DC control circuitry to avoid coupling-induced losses. Compared...
