  • Abstract
    This paper presents a 65nm CMOS-Power Amplifier (PA) designed for UMTS standard. It is based on a triple Stacked Folded pseudo-Differential Structure (triple SFDS) power stage and a differential cascode driver stage. The PA provides 31.5 dBm maximal output power (Pmax) with 20% of maximal power added efficiency (PAEmax) at 1.95 GHz. The linear gain is 37 dB and the compression point (OCP1) is 29.5 dBm. In order to fulfill the W-CDMA requirements, the PA respects the ACLR requirements until 23 dBm.
