Abstract

This paper presents a differential inverse class F power amplifier working in the 60GHz ISM band. Neutralized differential stacked structure is used in the power amplifier to get enough power gain and inverse isolation. The output harmonic waves are controlled by using the transformer and resonance branch to improve the peak power added efficiency (PAE). The proposed power amplifier achieves a maximum output power of 14.9dBm with a peak PAE of 16.3%. The power amplifier is fabricated using a standard 65nm CMOS technology.
