CMOS 60-GHz and E-band Power Amplifiers and Transmitters

Download or read book CMOS 60-GHz and E-band Power Amplifiers and Transmitters written by Dixian Zhao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the development of design techniques and methodologies for 60-GHz and E-band power amplifiers and transmitters at device, circuit and layout levels. The authors show the recent development of millimeter-wave design techniques, especially of power amplifiers and transmitters, and presents novel design concepts, such as “power transistor layout” and “4-way parallel-series power combiner”, that can enhance the output power and efficiency of power amplifiers in a compact silicon area. Five state-of-the-art 60-GHz and E-band designs with measured results are demonstrated to prove the effectiveness of the design concepts and hands-on methodologies presented. This book serves as a valuable reference for circuit designers to develop millimeter-wave building blocks for future 5G applications.
