5 Preface Advances in electronics have pushed mankind to create devices, ranging from incredible gadgets to medical equipment to spacecraft instruments. More than that, modern society is getting used to if not dependent on the comfort, solutions, and astonishing amount of information brought by these devices. One field that has continuously benefitted from those advances is the radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design, which in its turn has promoted countless benefits to the mankind as a payback. Wireless communications is one prominent example of what the advances in electronics have enabled and their consequences to our daily life. How could anyone back in the eighties think of the possibilities opened by the wireless local area networks (WLANs) that can be found today in a host of places, such as public libraries, coffee shops, trains, to name just a few? How can a youngster, who lives this true WLAN experience nowadays, imagine a world without it? This book deals with the design of linear CMOS RF Power Amplifiers (PAs). The RF PA is a very important part of the RF transceiver, the device that enables wireless communications. Two important aspects that are key to keep the advances in RF PA design at an accelerate pace are treated: efficiency enhancement and frequencytunable capability. For this purpose, the design of two different integrated circuits realized in a 0.11 µm technology is presented, each one addressing a different aspect. With respect to efficiency enhancement, the design of a dynamic supply RF power amplifier is treated, making up the material of Chaps. 2 to 4. The frequencytunable capability is addressed in Chaps. 5 to 7, presenting the design of a tunable impedance matching network for use in multiband RF power amplifiers. This novel network is based on coupled inductors. The reader can jump directly to Chap. 5 if the interest is for the frequency-tunable PA. When background information is important to the understanding of the material being presented, the reader will be guided to the page of concern. In Chap. 1, a detailed outline of the book can be found. Chapter 8 summarizes the results obtained and conclusions that could be drawn from the work underlying this book. Additional information, regarding the measurement setups and the implementation of the impedance matching networks used in the characterization of the power amplifiers, can be found in the two appendices that close the book. v
6 vi Preface The material presented in this book is the offspring of a collaborative research between the Electronics Laboratory of the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. in Yokohama, Japan. Acknowledgments Thanks to Yuu Watanabe and Kazuhiko Kobayashi, from Fujitsu Labs, for the support during all the collaboration project. Thanks also to Cédric Meinen, from EPFL, for his invaluable contributions to the design of the dynamic supply system. Lausanne, Switzerland Paulo Augusto Dal Fabbro Maher Kayal
