Design of high‐efficiency SiGe hetrojunction bipolar transistor linear power amplifier with new adaptive bias configuration

Abstract: This study shows a 2.4 GHz linear power amplifier (PA) design with a new adaptive bias configuration using TSMC 0.35 μm SiGe hetrojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology, for wireless communication applications such as WLAN. The proposed bias configuration adequately compromises the consumed current and the output power to avoid dramatic current increases in the high‐input power condition, while the output power capability is also maintained to achieve optimal efficiency through a proper size selection fo… Show more

“…Low noise figure and high linearity are important figures of merits for designing an LNA [2] which can also be used for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) apps [3][4]. LNA and PA designs can be with chips as well as with transistors such as Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), field-effect transistor (FET), High-electronmobility transistor (HEMT) and Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (pHEMT) [5][6]; the biasing is prominent for the selection [7]. The waves emitted from the antenna have to be 1556 amplified first with PA and it is essential to form a stable [8] and efficient [9] circuit according to practice.…”
