摘要
A completely integrated 1.3W power amplifier in silicon for 1.9 and 2.4GHz wireless and mobile communications is presented for the first time. The chip is implemented in a 25GHz f(T), 0.8 mu m, three layer interconnect silicon bipolar production technology (SIEMENS B6HF). The MMIC is designed for 3.4 to 5V battery operation at 1.9GHz, and delivers 0.4W (26dBm) to 1.3W (31.1 dBm) of output power with up to 33% power-added efficiency. The amplifier is also suitable for the 2.4GHz band with slight performance loss.
