摘要：

A 5.2 GHz variable-gain amplifier (VGA) and a power amplifier (PA) driver are designed for WLAN IEEE 802.11a monolithic RFIC. The VGA and the PA driver are implemented in a 50 GHz 0.35 mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology and occupy 1.12 x 1.25 mm(2) die area. The VGA with effective temperature compensation is controlled by 5 bits and has a gain range of 34 dB. The PA driver with tuned loads utilizes a differential input, single-ended output topology, and the tuned loads resonate at 5.2 GHz. The maximum overall gain of the VGA and the PA driver is 29 dB with the output third-order intercept point (0IP3) of 11 dBm. The gain drift over the temperature varying from 30 to 85 degrees C converges within +/- 3 dB. The total current consumption is 45 mA under a 2.85 V power supply.
