Abstract :
This work presented the first broadband PWM-controlled RF SMPA driver reaching 8.04Vpp up to 3.6GHz using a 1.2V baseline 65nm CMOS technology. The CMOS driver can serve as a key building block for next-generation reconfigurable multiband multimode transmitters for wireless infrastructure systems, interfacing digital CMOS circuitry with high-power transistors.
