Description

The feed forward type amplitude linearity method and circuit of deep AB power-like amplifier
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of integrated circuits, are related to a kind of CMOS radio-frequency power amplifier more particularly to a kind of depth The feed forward type amplitude linearity method of AB power-like amplifier.
Background technique
CMOS radio-frequency power amplifier (PA) have the advantages that can on piece it is integrated, but due to the limitation of device performance, design The high performance PA of high efficiency is also a huge challenge out.OFDM technology is due to its channel utilization height, the advantages such as anti-interference It is largely used in the agreements such as WLAN, LTE, but lacking by OFDM itself intrinsic peak value average power ratio (PAPR) Point requires PA to have the outstanding linearity, while average emitted power being needed to fill on the basis of peak transmitted power in transmitting terminal Divide and retract, this will be greatly reduced the emission effciency of PA.
A kind of mode for improving rollback emission effciency is that PA is biased in deep AB class state, i.e., the PA under peak power output The angle of flow close to 180 °.It being biased compared with A class, this bias mode can substantially reduce the DC power under rollback power, but The linearity for also resulting in PA becomes very poor.It is the relationship of the output electric current and input voltage of PA power tube as shown in Fig. 1 (a), Export electric current IoutWith input voltage VinApproximation meets
Wherein VthFor the threshold voltage of power tube, K is related to the breadth length ratio of technique and power tube.
Vin-IoutGain is
When input signal is the sinusoidal signal that voltage amplitude is A, bias voltage VbWhen, input signal expression formula is
Vin=Asin (ω0t)+Vb
Exporting electric current is
Select bias voltage VbIt is defeated as input sinusoidal voltage amplitude is gradually increased in Fig. 1 (b) when close to threshold voltage Electric current first works in V outin-IoutThe lesser region of gain, progresses into Vin-IoutThe biggish region of gain, signal also gradually lose Very, as shown in Fig. 1 (c).
Component, that is, fundamental component identical with frequency input signal is the output of PA real concern in output distorted signal.Figure 2 show that for PA from the fundamental frequency signal gain (AM-AM) for being input to output, dotted line is not under the sinusoidal voltage input of different amplitudes Output voltage is considered by the gain of supply voltage clipping, and solid line considers the clipping effect of supply voltage.Work as input signal amplitude Change from small to big, fundamental frequency signal gain increases 3dB or more, this can introduce very serious non-linear.Will use be biased in deep AB class The PA of state, it is necessary to solve this nonlinear problem.
Digital pre-distortion linearization technology
Referring to Fig. 3, the mode that Fig. 3 discloses a kind of solution is using digital pre-distortion technology (DPD), by data training The AM-AM distortion shape of PA is obtained, the data to be sent first pass through DPD processing, are equivalent to the inverse function by AM-AM, then lead to PA is crossed, the output signal not being distorted can be obtained.This method there are the problem of first is that more violent DPD processing can reduce The utilization rate of DAC dynamic range, second is that when signal bandwidth is wider, when the memory effect of PA has a significant impact, the effect of DPD processing It will be greatly reduced.
Envelope feedback linearization technique
Referring to Fig. 4, it is the bias voltage for adjusting PA by a feedback control loop that Fig. 4, which discloses another way, by force will The gain of PA is arranged in fixed value.Such as Fig. 4, the output voltage of PA carries out envelope detected after an attenuator, exports envelope Signal and input envelope signal compare, and adjustment PA biasing makes to export the fixation multiple that envelope remains input envelope, thus Inhibit the non-linear of AM-AM curve.The problem of this mode be the stability of loop it is difficult to ensure that, and the bandwidth that can be realized has Limit.Signal bandwidth is wider, and loop bandwidth requirement is wider, and design difficulty is bigger, and stability is also more difficult to be guaranteed.
In view of this, nowadays there is an urgent need to design a kind of new PA bias voltage adjustment mode, to overcome existing adjustment Drawbacks described above existing for mode.

Wherein A is input signal amplitude, ω0For input signal angular frequency, K1,2With technique and the first metal-oxide-semiconductor M1, second The breadth length ratio of metal-oxide-semiconductor M2 is related.
After this electric current is by the current mirror with low-pass filtering, high fdrequency component is filtered out, obtained electric current IpdIt is approximately:
Fixed bias current Ib1With IpdSubtract each other, then with small fixed bias current Ib2Bias voltage is poured into after addition generates crystalline substance Body pipe M9 generates bias voltage Vbias。Ib2It is separated with total bank tube and current subtraction circuit, to limit VbiasMinimum avoids M9's Drain terminal electric current is reduced to 0, injures the peak power output of PA.Therefore M9 drain terminal electric current is
Exporting bias voltage is
Wherein K9It is related to the breadth length ratio of technique and M9, Vth9For the threshold voltage of M9.
It can be seen that the electric current for reaching offset M9 is smaller and smaller with the increase of input signal amplitude, so that output Bias voltage VbiasAlso it is gradually reduced, until reaching a stationary value.
Shown in the situation of change such as Fig. 7 (b) of the PA input biasing that the method obtains with input range, with input power Increase, the discharge current I that envelope detected circuit generatespdAlso it increases with it, bias voltage is from initial Ib1And Ib2It is fully injected into M9 production Raw Vb0It is gradually reduced, works as IpdIt increases to and is equal to Ib1When, VbiasCompletely by Ib2It generates, at this time VbiasReach minimum Vbmin.By The PA power gain that this structure obtains is as shown in Fig. 7 (a) block curve, it can be seen that it is more inclined than the input that dashed curve indicates It sets and is fixed on Vb0When power gain it is more flat, gain is upwarped caused by increasing with input range and is substantially reduced, it ensure that Good amplitude gain characteristic of the PA under the biasing of deep AB class.
