A Compact Doubly Neutralized Ku-Band Power Amplifier With 39% Peak PAE and 23-dBm Output Power in 22FDX+ EDMOS for 6G FR3
This letter presents a compact, doubly neutralized, two-stage power amplifier (PA) utilizing the new extended drain (EDMOS) device in 22FDX+, designed for 6G frequency range 3 (FR3) and Ku-band applications. Cascode double neutralization is proposed and analyzed in detail to demonstrate its necessity for the stability of RF/mmWave PA designs in scaled technology nodes. The PA achieves a $P {_{\text {SAT}}}$ of 23.55 dBm and a PAEMAX of 39.27% at 12 GHz. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work demonstrates the highest reported power density of 1.49 W/mm2 using only a 2.4-V supply, thanks to the EDMOS device. Furthermore, it represents the first demonstration of a CMOS PA in 6G FR3 supporting the broadest complex modulation bandwidth, achieving 4250 MHz with 64-QAM and 1250 MHz with 256-QAM signals.
