Abstract
An OFDM capable Doherty PA is implemented in 90 nm CMOS with integrated quadrature hybrid and impedance transformer. The two amplifiers are optimized to minimize AM-PM distortion. The PA achieves 25 dBm Psa, using 1.4 V supply with 24% PAE, and operates over 1 GHz of frequency range (from 4 GHz to 5 GHz). 3 dB to 6 dB back-off from P1dB is required to achieve -25 dB measured EVM across this band, making it suitable for WLAN and WiMAX applications. The measured AM-PM distortion varies from 4deg to 12.5deg across the 1 GHz range.
