  • Abstract
    In this paper, a power amplifier driver is presented, PA driver circuit post layout simulation results shows up to 10 dBm output power and an IP3 of more than 22.5 dBm implemented on a 0.35 mum SiGe BiCMOS technology. The PA driver is suited for WIMAX applications operating in 2.3 to 2.7 GHz band.
