A 25.1 dBm 25.9-dB Gain 25.4% PAE X-band Power Amplifier Utilizing Voltage Combining Transformer in 65-nm CMOS

We present an X-band two-stage power amplifier (PA) in 65-nm CMOS process using a transformer (TF)-based voltage combining technique (VTC) which achieves the highest figure of merit (FOM) among recently reported CMOS PAs. The PA architecture is constructed with two-stage push-pull amplifiers with a...
