Abstract

A CMOS power amplifier (PA) with the implementation of the notch filter designed for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems is presented in this paper. The design is consisted of two stages of amplifier involving source follower and common source topologies with a notch filter and an output matching network. Such design is meant for full band UWB applications that utilize the frequency range within 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz with the elimination at 5-6 GHz using 0.18 µm CMOS process. The simulation shows that the proposed PA design achieved 19.25 dB maximum gain with 1.8 V power supply. In this work, the achieved input and output return loss ranging from -8.13 dB to -19.19 dB, and -1.68 dB to -16.03 dB, respectively, through full band frequency.
