A power amplifier driver （PAD） with largesignal optimized DS was implemented in 0.13/,m technology within a reconfigurable RF transmitter. The PAD is compatible with the GSM band at 900 MHz and the WCDMA band at 1.95 GHz, and it has a gain range of 44 dB with a step of 2 dB. Measurement results show that the over all OIP3 of the transmitter is better than 19 dBm, and the output referred 1dB compression point is better than 7.5 dBm.展开更多
