  • Abstract
    A two-stage P-band (400 MHz) CMOS multi-watt power amplifier (PA) is reported. Four identical 1.25-Watt PA cells are power-combined to generate approximately 5-Watt output. The same PA chip is used for a drive-amplifier, providing a total of 17 dB power gain. In the measurements, the two-stage five-chip PA produces 5.1-Watt with 17% PAE. The five-chip PA assembly will be merged into a 7times10 mm2 single die amplifier in a future project.
