  • Abstract
    A 77-83 GHz power amplifier (PA) is developed using the CPW Wilkinson power-combining technique in a 90 nm CMOS process. From the single tone power measurement, a linear power gain of 20 dB, saturated power of 12.3 dBm, and maximum PAE of 3.9% are achieved for the Wilkinson MMW PA at 80 GHz.
