Refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 b.It should be clear that structure, ratio, size depicted in this specification institute accompanying drawings etc., is only used
To coordinate the content disclosed in specification, so that those skilled in the art understands and reads, being not limited to the present invention can
The qualifications of implementation, therefore do not have technical essential meaning, the tune of the modification of any structure, the change of proportionate relationship or size
It is whole, in the case where not influenceing the effect of present invention can be generated and the purpose that can reach, all should still fall in disclosed skill
Art content is obtained in the range of covering.Meanwhile in this specification it is cited as " on ", " under ", "left", "right", " centre " and
The term of " one " etc., understanding for narration is merely convenient to, and is not used to limit the enforceable scope of the present invention, its relativeness
It is altered or modified, in the case where changing technology contents without essence, when being also considered as the enforceable category of the present invention.
As illustrated, the present invention provides a kind of multimode multi-frequency power amplifier.The multimode multi-frequency power amplifier can be applied
In the radio node emitter of Internet of Things.
The multimode multi-frequency power amplifier 1 comprises at least：Multi-stage power amplifier 11, control unit 12, impedance matching
Unit 13 and Frequency Band Selection unit 14.
The multi-stage power amplifier 11 is arranged on chip, and the chip is used in radio node emitter.
For example, the as shown in Fig. 2 input matching network 21, more that the chip 2 includes being used for matching the signal of access
Stage power amplifier 11, and be provided with the chip 2 and meet the connection end for setting supply voltage VCC, earth terminal GND and bias voltage VB
Connection end, in the present embodiment, supply voltage VCC connection end access 3.3V voltages, bias voltage VB connection end access
1.6V voltage.
Wherein, the multi-stage power amplifier 11 includes the modulation circuit 111 for being modulated access point radiofrequency signal RFin
And the two stage power amplifier of the connection modulation circuit 111, the two stage power amplifier is by metal-oxide-semiconductor M1, M2, M3, M4 structure
Into.
It should be noted that it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that described above is only merely to list, rather than to the present invention
Limitation, in fact, any can be by signal, the especially circuit of radiofrequency signal amplification, for example, including 3 grades or 3 grades of function above
Circuit of amplifier etc., is all contained in the scope of the present invention.

Pipe, wherein, the signal end V1 of signal end V1 connections multi-stage power amplifier 11, signal end V2 connections multi-stage power amplifier 11
Signal end V2.As the first control signal A connection supply voltage VCC, signal end V1 output high level, signal end V2 exports low electricity
One-level amplification flat, then that radiofrequency signal is passed through in two stage power amplifier；As the first control signal A connection ground level GND, then
Radiofrequency signal passes through the amplification of two stage power amplifier.
Therefore in the case where exporting low-power mode, made by the first control signal A to close a part of power amplifier
It does not work, and under output high-power pattern, opening all power amplifiers again by the first control signal A makes its complete
Portion works.It can thus reduce under low output power mode, it is not necessary to the waste of efficiency power amplifier.

Electric capacity is based on the second control signal（C1 is switched by impedance control to provide）To adjust, thus, by changing variable capacitance
Capacitive reactance, the impedance of impedance matching unit 13 can be made to be matched with the amplifier being activated.
For example, when the first control signal A of control unit 12 is connected to supply voltage VCC, the base of impedance matching unit 13
Adjusted in impedance control switch C1 to high capacitance shelves, then high-power output can be achieved；If the first control signal A is adjusted to ground GND
When, then impedance matching unit 13 is adjusted to low electric capacity shelves based on impedance control switch C1, then low-power output can be achieved.
The Frequency Band Selection unit 14 connects the impedance matching unit 13, the power amplifier being activated for selection
Working frequency range.
As shown in Fig. 2 the Frequency Band Selection unit 13 is based on the 3rd control signal（Provided by frequency range controlling switch C2）
To select the working frequency range for the power amplifier being activated.
For example, frequency range controlling switch C2 is adjusted to low electric capacity shelves, then the power amplifier being activated is operated in high frequency
Section；What frequency range controlling switch C2 was adjusted to the power amplifier that to high capacitance shelves, is then activated is operated in low-frequency range.
Pass through the gain of the multimode multi-frequency power amplifier to the present invention（GAIN）, power added efficiency（PAE）, output work
Rate（POUT）Relation between input power is tested, the test curve of acquisition as shown in figs. 3 a and 3b, wherein, Fig. 3 a are
Under two-band（That is 600MHz/780MHz）Height output pattern under pass between gain, efficiency, power output and input power
It is curve synoptic diagram；Fig. 3 b are under two-band（That is 600MHz/780MHz）Low output mode under gain, efficiency, output work
Relation curve schematic diagram between rate and input power.
As seen from the figure, present invention power added efficiency maximum under lose-lose exit pattern（PAE）Respectively 36.6% He
46.66%, by test data it can be seen that present invention efficiency under different output modes has good performance；Moreover,
The present invention is in two-band（600MHz/780MHz）Under have good efficiency and gain, the power amplifier of the invention work under two-band
It is excellent to make situation.
In summary, multimode multi-frequency power amplifier of the invention controls work(in inside chip by internal control unit
The quantity of rate amplifier work, then be combined with the impedance matching unit of external harmoniousness to realize the high efficiency under lose-lose exit pattern
