摘要：
A two stage class AB power amplifier (PA) for the frequency range 24-30 GHz is proposed. The PA relies on a cold-FET connected in a differential configuration to enhance the amplitude to amplitude modulation (AM-AM) distortion. In addition, a capacitor is added to improve the amplitude to phase modulation (AM-PM) distortion. Post-layout simulations using the 65nm CMOS technology node show an output 1dB compression point (OP1dB) higher by 1.8 dB and its power added efficiency (PAE) increases by 3.1% when compared to the PA without using the proposed differential cold-FET technique. The proposed PA achieves a gain of 18 dB with an AM-PM of 1.3 degrees. The peak saturated power (P-sat) is 16.5 dBm, with a peak PAE of 21.7%.
