W-band Amplifier

A W-band Current Combined Power Amplifier with 14.8dBm Psat and 9.4% Maximum PAE in 65nm CMOS

This W-band power amplifier delivers up to 14.8dBm saturated output power with over 14dB power gain and better than 9.4% power added efficiency (PAE), which also achieves better than 11.6dBm output P1dB. A current power combiner is employed to combine the power from two separate PAs. The entire PA core occupies 0.106 mm2 chip area and dissipates about 200mW.
