Analytical model for RF power performance of deeply scaled CMOS devices

This paper presents a first order model for RF power of deeply scaled CMOS. The model highlights the role of device on-resistance in determining the maximum RF power. We show excellent agreement between the model and the measured data on 45 nm CMOS devices across a wide range of device widths, under...

We show excellent agreement between the model and the measured data on 45 nm CMOS devices across a wide range of device widths, under both maximum output power and maximum PAE conditions. The model allows circuit designers to quickly estimate the power and efficiency of a device layout without need for complicated compact models or simulations.
