Abstract :
In this overview, the status and potential for CMOS terminal RF power amplifiers (PAs) are discussed. The paper focuses on two application areas for RF PAs, namely wireless LAN/PAN applications, with output power levels up to 24 dBm, and cellular applications with power levels beyond 30 dBm.
