A 65 nm CMOS Quadrature Balanced Switched-Capacitor Power Amplifier for Full- and Half-Duplex Wireless Operation

This article proposes a multi-mode wireless transmitter for full-duplex (FD) and half-duplex (HD) operation based on a quadrature balanced switched-capacitor power amplifier (QB-SCPA) architecture in 65 nm CMOS. The QB-SCPA provides inherent passive transmit–receive (TX–RX) isolation along with an embedded digital self-interference cancellation (SIC) signal injection mechanism and exhibits excellent TX and RX linearity characteristics.
