Abstract

A power amplifier is provided. The power amplifier includes a first circuit comprising a first transistor and a second transistor coupled respectively to a third transistor and a fourth transistor. The power amplifier also includes a second circuit comprising a transformer having a first winding and a second winding. The first winding comprises a first terminal coupled to the third transistor and a second terminal coupled to the fourth transistor to receive a differential voltage signal with a gain from the first circuit. The second winding comprises a first terminal being grounded and a second terminal serving as an output terminal. The power amplifier circuit further includes a third circuit comprising a programmable capacitor from a midpoint of the first winding to a common node that is coupled to ground. The programmable capacitor is tunable to reduce second harmonic seen at the output terminal.
