A design of CMOS class-F power amplifier (PA) at 2.4-GHz for wireless transmitters is presented. The class-F PA design is implemented by using 0.13-μm CMOS process. The proposed class-F PA employs cascade topology. The transistor’s on resistance is decreased by designing the transistors in parallel....
