Abstract :
Design of traveling wave amplifier (TWA) in 0.13μm standard CMOS technology is presented. Modelling of 80 Ω coplanar wave guide used to synthesize inductors TWA´s lines is presented. Asymmetric cascode, CPW and losses compensation technique allow to maximize the TWA amplifier bandwidth. Simulations with design kit and developed models for CPW show a 52 GHz bandwidth with a maximum power gain of 10 dB for a 84 mW power consumption. Size of the layouted chip is 2.6 × 0.6mm2.
