摘要
A fully integrated injection-locked CMOS power amplifier (IL-PA) that operates in the 18 - 20 GHz frequency band with a single-ended input and differential output is demonstrated. The presented power amplifier is based on an injection-locked LC-oscillator core utilizing novel circuit configuration as well as new layout considerations which allow for an optimum power amplifier design with minimum layout parasitics as well as maximum power added efficiency. The novel architecture is demonstrated in a standard 65nm CMOS technology achieving 14 dBm of output power and 45% peak power added efficiency. The circuit occupies a chip area of 900 mu m x 800 mu m.
