A four-stage power amplifier (PA) with 10 GHz 1-dB bandwidth (56-66 GHz) is presented. The broadband performance is achieved owing to pi-section interstage matching network. Three-stage-current-reuse topology is proposed to enhance efficiency. The amplifier has been fabricated in 65 nm digital CMOS. 18 dB power gain and 9.6 dBm saturated power (Psat) are achieved at 60 GHz. The PA consumes current of 50 mA at 1.2 V supply voltage, and has a peak power-added efficiency (PAE) of 13.6%. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this work shows the highest PAE among the reported CMOS PAs that covers the worldwide 9 GHz ISM millimeter-wave band with less-than-1.2V supply voltage. |
