Abstract EN

This paper describes a fully integrated power amplifier (PA) in 100 nm InGaAs pHEMT process for E-band point-to-point communications.

The device size and biasing conditions are optimized to enhance the overall performance at millimeter-wave frequencies.

The complete PA consists of two unit PAs and each unit PA has four stages to improve the gain while ensuring stability from dc to the operating frequencies.

A 4-way zero-degree combiner (in the unit PA) and a 2-way λ/2 combiner are used to boost the output power.

Occupying 5 mm2, the proposed PA achieves an output power of 0.45 W with 17.9% PAE at 74 GHz.
