Abstract

We present a fully integrated analog path for a 3 G polar transmitter in 90 nm CMOS. It includes a quad band Digitally Controlled Oscillator providing modulation for the phase data and a single stage Digital Pre-Power Amplifier that combines the phase and amplitude signals while providing the dynamic range for WCDMA. The chip, with integrated LDOs, consumes 60 mA from a 1.4 V supply while providing 11 dBm CW power at 1950 MHz, 87 dB dynamic range without any calibration, and PN of -157 dBc/Hz at 40 MHz.
