This work presents a fully integrated single-stage 2.4 GHz power amplifier (PA) that was designed in a 180nm CMOS process using a power combining technique to achieve higher output power. A series combining transformer (SCT) combines two cascode differential amplifiers and makes extensive use of virtual AC ground nodes to reduce the impact of bond-wire parasitics. The center-taps of the output transformers are used for 2nd harmonic impedance tuning inside the chip. In post-layout simulation the PA uses a 3.3 V power supply and achieves 24dBm maximum output power at a peak drain efficiency of 23.4%. The test chip returned recently from fabrication and it will undergo electrical tests soon. |
