Abstract

This paper presents a fully integrated class-E power amplifier IC with body effect to achieve high efficiency and high gain at low supply voltage for 2.5-GHz band short range wireless communication systems. The class-E amplifier IC is designed, fabricated and fully evaluated in 180-nm CMOS. The proposed power amplifier IC exhibits a small-signal gain of 10.8 dB and a saturated output power of 10.8 dBm with a drain efficiency of 35.0 % at a supply voltage of only 1-V.
