摘要(英)

This thesis developed three power amplifiers (PAs) that were designed and fabricated in WINTM 0.25-µm GaN/SiC and tsmcTM 0.18-µm CMOS 1P6M technology. The first design is a continuous class-B mode power amplifier for n77 band (3.3-4.2 GHz) application in GaN/SiC technology, the second one is a continuous class-B mode power amplifier for n77-n79 band (3.3-5.0 GHz) application in GaN/SiC technology and the third one is a stacked power amplifier for n77-n79 band (3.3-5.0 GHz) application in 0.18-µm CMOS technology.
The first chip presents a continuous class-B mode power amplifier for n77 band in GaN/SiC technology. The high-efficiency and broadband operations achieved by using continuous class-B mode output matching network which is matched for fundamental and second harmonics impedances. The soft gain compression is improved by proper selection of the gate bias voltage and thus to achieve good AM-AM performance. The measurements illustrate as following, the peak power gain is 20.7 dB, the operations bandwidth is from 3.3 to 4.2 GHz, the saturated output power (Psat) is 39.3 dBm, the peak power added efficiency (PAE) is up to 51 %, and the chip area is 4.75 (2.73 × 1.74) mm2.
The second chip presents the continuous class-B mode power amplifier for n77-n79 band in GaN/SiC technology. The gate bias voltage is properly set to improve the linearity. The highefficiency and broadband operations are achieved by using continuous class-B mode output matching network. The bandpass filter topology is used in input matching network design to obtain the gain flatness. The measurements show as following, the peak power gain is 20.2 dB, the operations bandwidth is from 3.3 to 5.0 GHz, the Psat is 39 dBm, the peak PAE is to 45 %,and the chip area is 4.83 (2.76 × 1.75) mm2.
The third chip presents the stacked power amplifier for n77-n79 band application in 0.18- µm CMOS technology. The stacked topology is adopted to sustain the large swings at the output drain node from low breakdown voltage and high knee voltage limitations in CMOS technology. Meanwhile, the gate bias voltage is properly set to improve the gain compression performance. The designed PA achieves only 1-dB difference between the output 1-dB power compression
point (OP1dB) and Psat. The broadband performance is achieved by using symmetrical magnetically coupled resonators at both input and output matching networks. The simulations show as followings, the peak power gain is 20.4 dB, the operations bandwidth is from 3.3 to 5.0 GHz, the Psat is 27.6-28.3 dBm, the peak PAE is to 20~25.2 %, and the chip area is 3.84 (2.4 × 1.6) mm2.
