An amplifier includes a first and a second differential input ports, and a single-ended output port. The amplifier includes a first and a second transistors, each having a gate, source, and drain terminals. The source terminals are coupled to a reference plane and the gate terminals are coupled to the respective first and second differential input ports. The amplifier includes a Balun having a primary and a secondary transformer winding, the primary transformer winding having one end coupled to the drain terminal of the first transistor, an opposite end coupled to the drain terminal of the second transistor, and a center tap coupled to a bias voltage, and the secondary transformer winding is adjacent to the primary transformer winding and having one end coupled to the single-ended output port and an opposite end open circuited. An electromagnetic field generated at the primary induces a signal at the secondary transformer winding.

A frequency tripler circuit includes an amplifier to receive a balanced input signal at an input frequency and outputs a balanced signal at a second harmonic of the input frequency. The frequency tripler circuit includes a passive double balanced mixer coupled to an output of the amplifier to receive the balanced signal at the second harmonic and the balanced input signal to generate an output balanced signal having a frequency triple the input frequency.

A transmit in-phase quadrature (IQ) amplifier includes a common gain stage to receive an input signal and to generate an amplified signal. The amplifier includes an IQ poly-phase filter coupled to the common gain stage to receive the amplified signal from the common gain stage and outputs a four-phase signal. The amplifier includes an in-phase (I) phase switching gain stage coupled to the IQ poly-phase filter to receive I components of the four-phase signal and outputs an amplified phase switching I signal. The amplifier includes a quadrature (Q) phase switching gain stage coupled to the IQ poly-phase filter to receive Q components of the four-phase signal and outputs an amplified phase switching Q signal.
