A fully integrated 60GHz CMOS PA with a PSAT of 22.6 dBm is presented. To our
knowledge, this is the highest reported PSAT at mm-waves in standard CMOS. To achieve a
high power level, 32 differential PAs are combined through a network of transmission lines,
Wilkinson combiners, and a multi-port argyle transformer. This method of combining
minimizes loss while implementing a low impedance load (~ 12Ω) at the drains of each of
the last stage PAs. Electromigration and other reliability issues are discussed.
