PA Survey
PA Survey Version 8: Saturated Output Power vs. Frequency
Eighth Web release on 15.05.2023
"DownloadPA Survey V8 (XLSX, 3.1 MB)". This version 8 dataset includes PAs/transmitters from 500MHz to 1.5 THz in Bulk/SOI CMOS, SiGe, LDMOS, InP, GaN, GaAs technologies. The dataset contains total 4483 data points with 1559 data points for CMOS, SiGe PAs and 2486 data points for GaN, GaAs, InP, and LDMOS PAs as well data points from other technologies.
Our group has made an A-to-Z move from Atlanta to Zurich, and now we are a part of ETH Zurich D-ITET. Please reference this survey as the "ETH PA Survey."
What is new in version-8 release?
- Power Amplifier designs and sub-THz/THz power/signal generation circuits published between 09/2022 and 05/2023.
- Some past PA data entries have notes like "(DE)" or "(PAE)" in their efficiency entries, which prevents the numericla data from being plotted directly. These PAE/DE notes are moved to a new column called "PAE Note".

- Acknowledgement: We would like to sincerely thank many of our friends and colleagues for their helpful suggestions and insightful discussions.
- Feedback and Suggestions: We welcome your feedback and suggestions, including the ways to interpret and present the data. In addition, although we try to be as inclusive as possible when collecting these published data, it is certainly possible that we may miss some representative PA designs. Please feel free to send us feedback, suggestions, or missing PA papers.

- Source for this data collection: We focus on peer-reviewed and publicly accessible publications that are typical forums for PAs, including IEEE ISSCC, JSSC, RFIC, VLSI, CICC, ESSCIRC, IMS, T-MTT, TCAS, BCTM/CSICS (BCICTS in the future), APMC, EuMC, and MWCL. We also focus on public product datasheets on PAs/transmitters.
