Abstract :
Stability analysis is an important issue which should be solved at the beginning of the power amplifier design. An RC feed-back network is often adopted to improve the stability of power amplifier. Through the analysis of the RC network, a novel method to estimate the RC value is presented in this paper, which facilitates circuits design. A single stage power amplifier is designed in CMOS process to verify the feasibility of this method.
