A 0.13µm CMOS power amplifier with ultra-wide instantaneous bandwidth for imaging applications

This paper deals with the realization of an integrated 0.13 mum CMOS power amplifier that is suitable for signals with an ultra-wide instantaneous bandwidth. The UWB impulse based system for high resolution imaging application has been proposed. The UWB PA is compatible with previously-reported true-time- delay-based beam-forming systems for low-GHz high-resolution imaging applications.
