Abstract
This paper presents an 81–86 GHz E-band power amplifier fabricated with 65 nm CMOS process. A passive splitter is designed to transfer a pair of differential signal into two pairs of differential signals and satisfy phase requirement of output parallel power combiner. A substitution method is presented to trade off the simulation time and accuracy while using EM simulator to characterize the MOS transistor's access lines with stacked via arrays. The proposed PA achieves 9.5 dBm P 1-dB , 14.16 dBm P SAT and 21.5 dB maximum power gain at 83.5 GHz. The PAEs at P 1-dB and P SAT are 3.6% and 10.13% respectively.
