Abstract
In this paper, technology fundamental limits on the performance of stacked and classical Class E power amplifiers are studied. A current combined stacked injection locking technique is proposed in order to enhance both the output power and power-added efficiency (PAE). Based on this technique, a 60 GHz fully differential stacked power amplifier is designed in 65nm CMOS bulk process. The simulation results show an output power of 19.5dBm and PAE of 15.5%.
