A Fully Integrated Compact Outphasing CMOS Power Amplifier Using a Parallel-Combining Transformer with a Tuning Inductor Method

This work presents a compact on-chip outphasing power amplifier with a parallel-combining transformer (PCT). A series-combining transformer (SCT) and PCT are analyzed as power-combining transformers for outphasing operations. Compared to the SCT, which is typically used for on-chip outphasing combin...
