3 Abstract Low voltage, integrated diode linearization For 2.4GHz Bluetooth UMC 0.18 μ m CMOS technology 20dBm output power PAE 51% S dB
4 Introduction Bluetooth -class 1 ( 20dBm ) -class 2 ( 4 dBm ) -class 3 ( 0 dBm ) For extending the life of the battery, low power design is important

8 Power Amplifier design At dc, the inductor->low resistance At RF resonance, LC-tanks->high R The operation of the folded cascode PA is limited by Q The gain is reduced by To minimize the loss, CG should meet
9 Power Amplifier design The integrated diode linearizer improve the Gain compression and phase distortion The gate bias dc level of M1 with linearizer has less variation as P in ↑
10 Simulation result Simulated with UMC CMOS 0.18 μ m RF model by using the Agilent ADS The parasitic effects of M1, M2, M3 have been considered It meets the class 1 transmission requirements for Bluetooth application
