Abstract
This article proposes an efficient powerโcombining architecture with differential and singleโended power amplifiers (PAs) in a CMOS process. The singleโended amplifier is added for overall efficiency enhancement. To demonstrate this concept, a CMOS PA using the proposed architecture was fabricated with a 0.13โฮผm CMOS technology that delivers 30.6 dBm of output power with 42% drain efficiency and 38% powerโadded efficiency at 1.95 GHz. ยฉ 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
