A 16-dBm D-Band Power Amplifier with a Cascaded CE and CB Output Power Stage Using a Stub Matching Topology
This work presents the design of a power amplifier (PA) with an AC-coupled common-emitter and common-base stage in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The amplifier operates in the D-band and consists of two driving stages followed by an output power stage. At 143 GHz a small signal gain of 39.8 dB and a maximum saturated output power (PSAT) of 16 dBm is achieved. The PAE peak value is 5.4 %, while the chip draws 220 mA from a 3.3 V power supply. Including pads the chip consumes an area of 0.66 mm2. To the best of the authors’ knowledge this is the highest value for PSAT reported in this frequency range using silicon-based technologies.
