An 8 Gbps E-band QAM Transmitter Using Symbol-based Outphasing Power Combining Technique

Paper i proceeding, 2017

In millimeter-wave communication systems, generating high output power with high efficiency on the transmitter side is one major challenge. In this paper, a symbol-based outphasing power combining solution has been demonstrated with data rate up to 8 Gbps at an RF frequency of 83.5 GHz. This solution provides 2 dB higher output power compared to the power of two QAM signals at 12% EVM.
