Summary :

We present excellent performance of a novel two-stage SiGe hetero-bipolar transistor (HBT) power amplifier (PA) in which different collector doping structures were employed for the first and second stages. A selectively ion implanted collector (SIC) structure was employed for the first stage HBT in order to obtain a high gain, while without-SIC structure was used for the second stage HBT in order to achieve a high breakdown voltage. At 1.95 GHz, the total PAE of 31% and a gain of 28 dB with an output power (Pout) of 26 dBm were obtained while the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) was less than -38 dBc for W-CDMA modulation signals.
