The design of a 3.0-7.5 GHz UWB CMOS power amplifier (PA) for group 1~3 MB-OFDM UWB applications in TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS technology is presented. The UWB PA proposed in this paper uses a current-reused technique to enhance the gain at the upper end of the desired band, and the resistive feedback at the second stage is used to obtain gain flatness. The shunt-shunt feedback is used to enhance bandwi...

This work proposes an integrated high frequency divider with an inductive peaking technique implemented in a current mode logic (CML) frequency divider. The proposed divider is composed with a master-slave flip-flop, and the master-slave flip-flop acts as a latch and read circuits which have the differential pair and cross-coupled n-MOSFETs. The cascode bias is applied in an inductive peaking c...

In this paper, we present a new composite transistor circuit design technique that provides superior performance enhancement to analog circuits. By adding a composite transistor to the cascode-compensated amplifier, it has achieved a 102 dB DC gain, and a 37.6 MHz unity gain bandwidth while driving a 2 nF heavy capacitive load at a single 1.8 V supply. In the comparison of power-bandwidth and p...
