Abstract
A 24 GHz Tx output stage with driver was designed and fabricated in 0.13‐μm CMOS process. Load impedances were chosen for maximizing output power while limiting voltage swing for improved reliability. Measured small signal gain is 19 dB. Measured output power is 13.6 dBm (PAE 17.2%) at 13.4 dB large signal gain. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
