Abstract

The 5G wireless revolution will bring some fundamental changes on the design of handsets and communication infrastructures, delivering over 10 Gbps download speed with unprecedented densely connected wireless devices. The 5G RF transmitters using phased-array MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) antennas will demand excellent power efficiency with high integration and linearity at the cm-Wave/mm-Wave frequencies, making the design of highly efficient and linear 5G power amplifier (PA) one of the most challenging tasks for RF IC designers. As the cm-Wave 5G systems will probably be deployed in the market earlier than their mm-Wave counterparts, we will survey in this paper some latest development on 15 GHz and 28 GHz 5G cm-Wave PA design.
