Design and Optimization of 2.1 mW ULP Doherty Power Amplifier with Interstage Capacitances Using 65 nm CMOS Technology

This research proposed the design and calculations of ultra-low power (ULP) Doherty power amplifier (PA) using 65 nm CMOS technology. Both the main and the peaking amplifiers are designed and optimized using equivalent lumped parameters and power combiner models. The operation has been performed in...
