Design ofHigh-Linearity Amplifier forWireless LAN Transceiver

Highthird-order intercept output point (01P3) RF amplifier, suitable forcheapsemiconductor technology ispro- posed. Thecircuit functionality simulated using Agilent ADSand parasitic components weretakeninto account using Assura RCX chipdesign software. Chiphasdesigned forTSMC 0.35-um BiCMOSprocess. An 01P3over+3OdBmwasachieved witha gainof8dB,noise figure 5dB,andapowerconsumption 80mW. Amplifier isintended tobeusedinreceiver andtransmitter paths ofthe802.11a/b/n wireless LANfront-end in5GHzband. I~~~~~~~~ ~~OutInu ~~~~~ k ~ ~ ~ ~ wa chnne1 i-i/k&iner-o
