A semilumped output transformer for fully‐integrated RF CMOS power amplifier is proposed in this paper. To demonstrate this transformer, a 2.5‐GHz CMOS power amplifier is implemented with a 0.18‐μm RF CMOS process used for WiMAX application. The power amplifier can achieve 39% PAE (power added efficiency) at P1dB (1 dB compression point) and output power of 30 dBm. The linearity can satisfy the spectrum mask of the WiMAX signal requirement basically. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
