  • Abstract
    A wideband amplifier with low power consumption (50 mW) and small chip size (0.44 mm2) is demonstrated in a 0.13 μm CMOS technology. A power gain of 9.5 dB is measured with a 3 dB bandwidth covering from 0.1 GHz to 57 GHz as well as a gain-bandwidth-product (GBW) of 170 GHz. The proposed wideband amplifier has distinguished itself with the state-of-the-art performance of GBW/Pdiss (3.4 GHz/mW) and GBW/chiparea (386 GHz/mm2), which reveals its ability in accomplishing a wideband amplification with reasonable power and area consumptions.
