CMOS DESIGN OF Ka-BAND POWER AMPLIFIER FOR SATELLITE APPLICATIONS
Abstract
Communication satellites make use of transponder to transmit and receive signals from respective earth stations. These transponders consist of Power Amplifier which is the last electronic component in it. They are used to amplify the power of the signal and make it available for driving the antennas. In this paper, a Ka-Band class AB PA is proposed using a cascaded topology. It is designed using CMOS technology to reduce chip area and power consumption.
