Description
1.1
Process
This 5-GHz power amplifier (PA) is designed using Atmel’s Silicon-Germanium (SiGe)
process and provides high efficiency.
1.2
Circuitry
The PA, ATR7040,  consists of a three-stage amplifier with a typical output power of
25 dBm. The output stage was  implemented using an open-collector structure. Power
up, power down, and output level are controlled at bias control pin 6 (V
ctl
).
