Abstract

The properties of radio frequency (RF) power amplifier constructed by SOS MOSFET was investigated. The first characterization of RF power amplifier without body contact from a 0.5 μm SOS CMOS process was reported. The measured power gain at 1 GHz was 10.5 dBm and the power added efficiency (PAE) was 40%. The floating body effect resulted in a soft breakdown that leaded to a drop in the PAE.
