Abstract
A two-stage class-A medium power amplifier operated at 1.95 GHz is designed and fabricated in Jazz SiGe BiCMOS 0.35-mum technology. The circuit is fully integrated excluding the bias inductances and the output matching network. The simulated results indicate that the power amplifier can deliver a power of more than 141 mW (21.5 dBm) with a PAE of 24% under 3.3 V supply voltage. The IMD2 and IMD3 are less than -28 dBc and -44 dBc, respectively. The chip size is only 1.27 mm times 0.9 mm.
