Abstract

This paper presents a single-stage stacked Class AB power amplifier (PA) with lower complexity for fifth generation (5G) K/Ka band front-ends that has been realized in a 45nm PDSOI CMOS technology. Measurement results show that the power amplifier achieves a saturated output power (Psat) of 17.3 dBm with a 39.7% maximum power-added efficiency (PAEmax) at 24 GHz. The output-referred 1-dB compression point (OP1dB) is 14.3dBm and the saturated output power varies from 15.9dBm to 17.3dBm for a frequency range from 22 GHz to 28 GHz. Furthermore, the circuit draws 40mA from a 2.9V supply and the chip core size is 0.35mm x 0.25 mm.
