This letter reports power amplifiers for 77-GHz automotive radar applications in a 90-nm LP (low power) 1P6M CMOS technology. The three-stage single-ended PA has a 12.4 dB gain and a +9 1-dBm saturated output power and the two-stage differential PA has a 11.3 dB gain and a +11 4-dBm output power at in = 1 9 dBm. This is the first letter to report CMOS PA characteristics over full automotive temperature range ( 40 C to 125 C) at 77 GHz range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
