Abstract

A 60-64 GHz high-efficiency CMOS power amplifier (PA) based on a magnetically coupled resonator (MCR) matching network is presented. A design rule for the MCR matching network is proposed, which greatly increases the efficiency and saturated output power. With lower power devices, a two-stage differential PA with neutralized common-source stages has been realized in a 40-nm bulk CMOS process. Simulated in 40-nm CMOS, 23.34% peak power added efficiency (PAE), 16.51-dBm saturated output power (Psat), 15.81-dB power gain, and 12.54- dBm output 1-dB compression point (P1dB) with 11.18% PAE are achieved by the proposed P A chip at 60 GHz. The Psat is above 16.2-dBm, the P1dB is above 11.6-dBm and the peak PAE is above 20% across the 60-64 GHz frequency range. © 2023 IEEE.
