Abstract
A three stacked power amplifier implemented in 28nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator complementary metal oxide semi-conductor technology (FDSOI CMOS) is presented. It has a differential architecture with on-chip input and output transformer baluns. The PA achieves a saturated output power level of 17.9dBm with a peak power added efficiency of 7% and an output referred gain compression point of 16.2dBm. It occupies a silicon area of 0.4$mm^{2}$, uses a supply voltage of 3V, and has a 3.3GHz 1-dB bandwidth at 24GHz.
