A new wideband regulated cascode amplifier with improved performance and its application

This paper presents a new high frequency Regulated Cascode (RGC) amplifier with improved performance. The split-length compensation technique is used to increase both the bandwidth and output impedance, and decrease the input impedance of the conventional RGC. The bandwidth of the proposed RGC amplifier is 5.81 GHz, which is about 2.7 GHz larger than that of simple one. The improved performance of the introduced circuit is achieved with no additional passive element and DC power dissipation. In the paper, output impedance and bandwidth of the proposed circuit are derived by using small signal analysis and have also been compared with the traditional one. In addition, a wideband high performance current mirror is designed in the work as an application of the proposed RGC structure. The bandwidth extension ratio (BWER) of the modified wideband current mirror is 1.37. The proposed circuits are designed by using TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS process and BSIM3 Level 49 device model. The circuits are simulated on Spectre simulator of Cadence to validate the analytical results obtained in the paper.     

Study of stability problems due to undesired coupling of a RF power amplifier using a distributed active transformer

In this study, we investigate the stability problems induced by undesired coupling between input feed lines and an output transformer for a linear CMOS power amplifier using a distributed active transformer (DAT) as an output balun. We extracted the losses of the input and output transformer, the undesired coupling, and the gains of the driver and the power stages to calculate the closed-loop gain. To determine the possibility of oscillation according to the location of the driver stage related to the undesired coupling and the closed-loop gain, we investigated the stability factor and stability circle. We show that the location of the driver stage of the power amplifier can be used to manage the value of the closed-loop gain. From the analyzed results, the driver stage of the linear power amplifier should be located outside the DAT to mitigate the stability issues.
