  • Abstract
    A fully integrated linear power amplifier (PA) for 5 GHz WLAN application has been realized in the OMMIC 0.2 mum AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs PHEMT process. The single-ended two-stage power amplifier uses on-chip inductors and capacitors for input, interstage and output matching. Under a single supply voltage of +3.5 V, this power amplifier exhibits linear output power of 26.9 dBm (P1dB), small signal gain of 28.6 dB and the power added efficiency (PAE) of 36.1% at P1dB. The die size is only 1.5 mm times 1.0 mm.
