研究目的
To design a compact and broadband transformer-coupled power amplifier in a 0.15μm GaAs technology for 5G applications, achieving high output power, efficiency, and linearity without digital pre-distortion.
研究成果
The designed PA achieves a gain of 12.6dB with a fractional bandwidth of 40%, output power of 26.5dBm, and peak PAE of 31% at 28GHz. It supports high data rate 64-QAM signals without digital pre-distortion, demonstrating the effectiveness of transformer-coupled matching networks in GaAs technology.
研究不足
The higher cost of GaAs compared to CMOS technology and the need for careful EM simulation to account for parasitics.
