A highly linear and efficient differential CMOS power amplifier with harmonic control

A 2.45 GHz fully differential CMOS power amplifier (PA) with high efficiency and linearity is presented. For this work, a 0.18-/spl mu/m standard CMOS process with Cu-metal is employed and all components of the two-stage circuit except an output transformer and a few bond wires are integrated into one chip. To improve the linearity, an optimum gate bias is applied for the cancellation of the nonlinear harmonic generated by g/sub m3/ and a new harmonic termination technique at the common source node is adopted along with normal harmonic termination at the drain. The harmonic termination at the source effectively suppresses the second harmonic generated from the input and output. The amplifier delivers a 20.5dBm of P/sub 1dB/ with 17.5 dB of power gain and 37% of power-added efficiency (PAE). Linearity measurements from a two-tone test show that the power amplifier with the second harmonic termination improves the IMD3 and IMD5 over the amplifier without the harmonic termination by maximally 6 dB and 7 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the linearity improvements appear over a wide range of the power levels and the linearity is maintained under -45 dBc of IMD3 and -57dBc of IMD5 when the output power is backed off by more than 5dB from P/sub 1dB/. From the OFDM signal test, the second harmonic termination improves the error vector magnitude (EVM) by over 40% for an output power level satisfying the 4.6% EVM specification.

Characterization of a low-noise linearized microwave power amplifier module

An X-band, low-noise, linearized microwave power amplifier module consisting of a low-noise solid-state amplifier (SSA), predistortion linearizing circuit, and low-gain helix traveling wave tube (TWT) is designed and tested in order to demonstrate both reduced noise figure and suppressed intermodulation distortion ratio. Two-tone intermodulation distortion (IMD) ratios are predicted from simulations obtained from modeling of the TWT, linearizing circuit, and SSA by the use of Agilent's Advanced Design System simulation code. Simulated IMD ratios are in good agreement with measured results. Measurements show a noise figure of 2.2 dB at 9.5 GHz and the third-order IMD ratio of -53 dBc at 10 dB input back off from the input P1dB point. It is found that both noise figure and IMD ratio are significantly improved compared with conventional helix-TWTs and microwave power modules.

A Linear Power Amplifier Design Using an Analog Feedforward Method

We propose and describe the fabrication of a linear power amplifier (LPA) using a new analog feedforward method for the IMT‐2000 frequency band (2,110–2,170 MHz). The proposed analog feedforward circuit, which operates without a pilot tone or a microprocessor, is a small and simple structure. When the output power of the fabricated LPA is about 44 dBm for a two‐tone input signal in the IMT‐2000 frequency band, the magnitude of the intermodulation signals is below ?60 dBc and the power efficiency is about 7%. In comparison to the fabricated main amplifier, the magnitude of the third intermodulation signal decreases over 24 dB in the IMT‐2000 frequency band.
