Resumo

The design of a two-stage differential cascode power amplifier (PA) for 81-86 GHz E-band applications is presented. The PA was realised in SiGe technology with fT/fmax 170/250 GHz. A broadband transformer with efficiency higher than 79.4% from 71 GHz to 96 GHz is used as a BALUN. The PA delivers a 4.5 dBm saturated output power and exhibits a 13.4 dB gain at 83.6 GHz. The input and output return losses agree well with the design specifications.
