Power Amplifier 130-170GHz

Product No: WEA130170P55S

  • Applications:Microwave Backhaul, 5G Communications
  • Maturity:silicon proven
  • Foundry:STMicro
  • Geometry (nm):55nm
  • Process Node:ST BiCMOS55

The WEA130170P55S consists of four cascaded differential amplifying stages. The first three stages are cascode stages,while the final one is a common emitter stage. Transformers are used as matching networks between the stages. An output balun is used to transform the final stage differential output to a single ended. The scaling of the devices maximize the power amplifier’s linearity performance.
