Abstract:This paper presents a novel on chip transformer coupled PA (Power Amplifier) in a 9 Metal Generic 90-nm TSMC CMOS technology for the 60 GHz mm-Wave (millimetre wave) WPAN. The PA consists of three stage CS (Common Source) amplifiers and inter-stage matching transformers. The architecture of the transformer is a stacked-structure which provides high coupling coefficient with a relatively small size. The transformer's parameters are simulated by the 3-D electromagnetic simulator. To enhance the gain and linearit… Show more
