Abstract

This paper deals with the design and simulation of low power and highly efficient RF Power Amplifiers for 4^th Generation Wireless Systems. Efficient Linearization and Bandwidth Enhancement techniques are implemented to increase the performance metrics of the power amplifier under consideration. A 90nm CMOS, 60 GHz fully integrated power amplifier has been designed for the 4^th Generation Wireless Systems. It has been optimized to deliver maximum linear output power and a considerable amount of gain in the VHF band around 60 GHz. The schematic of the two stage power amplifier has been designed using Agilent´s Advanced Design System software. The schematic is used to plot Gain, Linearity, Noise Figure and Stability.
