3 to 5 GHz power amplifier

Overview

130iHP_PA_02 is E class power amplifier (PA). Voltage regulator is used due to transistor low breakdown voltage and PA inductive load. Such solution also provides wide range output power adjustment. Third type band-pass filter is used to provide wide bandwidth and set output impedance to 50Ohm.
The block is fabricated on iHP SiGe BiCMOS 0.13 um technology.
