75 MHz to 3 GHz Power amplifier

Overview

065TSMC_PA_01 is a broadband power amplifier, which consist of three cascades. With a view to use QAM, QPSK, OFDM modulations schemes amplifier with increased linearity operating in A class is used. First cascade operates as preamplifier of incoming signal, also due to scheme of connection with common gate it provides matching of input impedance in wide range of frequencies. Broadband amplification is reached due to tuning of resonance frequencies of two cascades to different values and also by including additional resistors into load networks, this provides necessary amplification levels on low frequencies.
