N2 - A 5.2 GHz fully-integrated power amplifier is designed and fabricated using 0.18-μm 1P6M bulk CMOS technology. Utilizing a 2-way series combining transformer, the CMOS PA achieves a measured maximum saturation output power (Psat) of 27.6 dBm at 5.2 GHz within a compact chip size of 1.2 mm × 1 mm. The measured small signal gain is 13.4 dB, the output 1-dB compression point (OP1dB) is 23.5 dBm, and the peak power-added efficiency (PAE) is 19.2 % at 5.2 GHz. For IEEE 802.11ac WLAN 64-QAM OFDM modulation signal test, the PA meets the EVM requirement of 5.6% (-25 dB) at the linear output power of 16.6 dBm.
