  • Abstract
    This paper presents the design of a TD-SCDMA PA with gain of 28.5 dBm (18 dBm), high efficiency of 43% (15%), low distortion with an ACPR of -43 dBc (-39 dBc) and small size of 0.91 times 0.98 mm2 to meet the requirement of TD-SCDMA handset terminals. In addition, a novel power amplifier module with the output match in LTCC package is proposed. Smaller size and lower power loss can be achieved. The overall module size can be as small as 2.4 times 2.4 mm2.The high performance and small chip size of the MMIC and module offers the potential for low cost production.
