Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to discuss medium‐power amplifier (MPA) design using parasitic‐aware core‐based approach. Design/methodology/approach This paper discusses a core‐based design approach, which can also deliver multi‐band radio frequency integrated circuit. Findings A fabricated 3.5 GHz MPA achieved a P1dB of 16.81 dBm, power‐added efficiency (PAE) of 16.74 percent and gain of 6.81 dB at the 10 dBm of input power under a low‐power supply of 3 V. The maximum current, I max is 80.7 mA and the power consumption of the device is 242.10 mW. A fabricated 2.4 GHz MPA achieved a P1dB of 14.83 dBm, PAE of 11.73 percent and gain of 9.83 dB at the 5.0 dBm of input power under a low‐power supply of 3.0 V. The maximum current, I max is 84.4 mA and the power consumption for this device is 253.20 mW. Originality/value This paper shows the merits of the parasitic‐aware design methods used in designing the core circuit.
