摘要：
An integrated power amplifier using 65-nm CMOS bulk technology was presented in this work. The whole PA consists of a one-way drive stage and a two-way main stage. By employing a compactly designed transformer-based output combiner, the CMOS PA occupied a small core-area of 0.47x0.57mm(2), and delivered 21.6 dBm of measured saturated output power at 10 GHz, with a power added efficiency of 23.6%. The proposed PA can operate well in 8 similar to 15 GHz wideband.
