  • Abstract
    An overview of several CMOS RF Power Amplifiers (PA) using power combining techniques is given. It is clarified how this technique can alleviate some of the problems related to the aggressive CMOS scaling. The theory is supported by several design examples that cover a frequency range from the lower GHz as high as 60 GHz.
