Description

A kind of directional coupler based on transformer
Technical field
The invention belongs to the RF/Microwave technical field of integrated circuits, relate to a kind of directional coupler, particularly a kind of directional coupler based on transformer.
Background technology
Directional coupler (Directional Coupler) is a kind of widely used RF/Microwave parts, and is widely used in up link and down link is in the transceiver system of same frequency range.The principle that directional coupler is applied to transceiver system as shown in Figure 1, " input " (Input) connects transmitter output (TX), " the straight-through end " (Direct) connects antenna (Antenna), " coupled end " (Coupled) connects receiver inlet (RX), and " isolation end " (Isolated) connects build-out resistor (Res).Wherein input is " insertion loss " (Insertion Loss) to the loss between the straight-through end, input to the loss of coupled end be " degree of coupling " (Coupling), straight-through end to the loss of coupled end be " isolation " (Isolation), the difference of " isolation " and " degree of coupling " be " directivity " (Directivity).4 port networks (shown in Fig. 1 the right) for a directional coupler, S parameter S 12 has represented the insertion loss of transmitter to antenna, this value must be as far as possible little, even because a less insertion loss increase also can cause greatly reducing of transmitter power efficiency.S13 has represented the degree of coupling of antenna to receiver.S23 has represented the isolation of transmitted from transmitter to receiver, and this value must be large as far as possible, because the isolation that does not meet the demands can cause very large signal of transmitter leaakage to receiver, causes the reduction of receiver performance and the increase of design difficulty.Directional coupler to the requirement of performance is: insertion loss is very little, and the degree of coupling is not very large, and isolation is very large, i.e. high directivity.
For a same frequently receive-transmit system, general transmit signal energy is very strong and can be coupled to receiver inlet greatly, and it is very weak to receive signal, if do not use directional coupler, very strong output coupled signal can block useful reception signal, can cause like this receiver to work, shown in Fig. 2 (a); After using directional coupler, receive signal because the relation of the degree of coupling is lost a part, be coupled to simultaneously transmitting of input and greatly decayed, thereby can guarantee simultaneously with the frequently normal operation of transceiver, shown in Fig. 2 (b).
For traditional directional coupler, adopting ceramic passive component is the most widely used method, but the restriction of its volume and higher cost have hindered its application in highly integrated and low-power consumption environment.Document " A passive circulator with high isolation using a directional coupler for RFID; in IEEE MTT-S Int.Microw.Symp.Dig.Papers; pp.1177-1180; Jun.2006 " discloses the parallel coupling quarter-wave microstrip line directional coupler on a kind of PCB, have preferably isolation, but its length far can not satisfy integrated requirement.Document " A CMOS power amplifier with integrated passive-device spiral-shaped directional coupler for mobile UHF RFID reader; IEEE Trans.Microw.Theory and Tech.; vol.59; no.11; pp.2888-2897; Nov.2011 " discloses a kind of spiral orientation coupler of employing IPD (integrated passive device) technique, but itself and CMOS transceiver system need to use the system in package technology to encapsulate, and this has improved the complexity of system and has increased cost.Document " A compact highly reconfigurable CMOS MMIC directional coupler; IEEE Trans.Microw.Theory Tech.; vol.56; no.2; pp.305-319; Feb.2008 " discloses a kind of active C MOS directional coupler based on lump LC element, yet active device will need extra power consumption, and lamped element also will take a large amount of areas.
In the prior art, also not applicable to the equal minimum directional coupler of more excellent, area of types of applications environment and process conditions, isolation and insertion loss, particularly based on the transformer concept and can be used for integrated passive directional couplers on the CMOS technique sheet.
