Abstract • CMOS PA ( 2.4GHz , 20 dBm , 0.25μm 1P5M) • Firstly reported to use diode linearizer • Improvement in linearity ( gain compression , ACPR )
Introduction • Severe blocks ( limited breakdown voltage ) • The method to improve PA linearity -conventional method - feedforward , feedback , predistortion -this paper -diode linearizer -integrated diode connected NMOS
Circuit design • Drain-source breakdown voltage ( 5.4 V ) • Knee voltage ( 0.5 V ) • Two stage PA -output ( class AB ) ( high efficiency ) ( 960μm ) -input ( class AB ) ( power gain ) ( 1/3 output ) • Diode linearizer ( gate biasing circuit ) • Matching network ( microstrip ) • Whole chip area ( 1100 * 700 μm2 )
Measured Results • Performed on a FR-4 PCB test fixture • Small signal gain ( 11.2dB ) • Input return loss ( 24 dB ) ( 2.45 GHz ) • Output power ( 20dBm ) • PAE ( 28% ) • Gain compression using diode linearizer is a little higher • ACPR ( Adjacent Channel Power Ratio )
Conclusion • A first-reported 2.4 GHz CMOS PA integrated with diode linearizer fabricated in the TSMC 0.25- μm standard CMOS process • The designed PA reaches an output power of 20 dBm and a PAE of 28%. It demonstrates the great potential of standard CMOS process in designing and manufacturing for 2.4-GHz PA.
