A highly efficient reconfigurable 130nm CMOS-SOI RF power amplifier for multi-radio emitter

A class E power amplifier (PA) has been designed and simulated for multi-radio applications in the 1.8 to 5GHz frequency band using a 130 nm CMOS-SOI technology. The PA is a single stage, single ended, self-biased cascode formed by a thin oxide transistor as common source device and a laterally diff...

Description
Summary:A class E power amplifier (PA) has been designed and simulated for multi-radio applications in the 1.8 to 5GHz frequency band using a 130 nm CMOS-SOI technology. The PA is a single stage, single ended, self-biased cascode formed by a thin oxide transistor as common source device and a laterally diffused MOS (LDMOS) transistor as common gate. Switched fully integrated high current inductors are used as part of the class E wave shaping network. For the whole frequency band, the PA achieves at least 50% PAE and a gain of more than 14 dB with 6 dBm driving signal.
