Abstract

This paper presents two E-band millimeter-wave (mm-wave) transformer-based power amplifiers (PAs) implemented in 55-nm CMOS process, including a 1-way differential PA (PA1) and a 2-way differential PA (PA2). A transformer-based resonating peak control technique is proposed to realize broadband characteristic. The 1-way differential PA1 achieves a 3 dB bandwidth (BW-3dB) of 16 GHz, a Psat of 17 dBm and a peak PAE of 18.4%. The 2-way PA2 achieves a BW-3dB of 14 GHz, a Psat of 20 dBm and a PAEMAX of 14.3%.
