Description

Broadband high-linearity power amplifier
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuit design, in particular to a broadband high-linearity power amplifier.
Background
In recent years, new-generation communication technologies have been developed rapidly, and communication based on the sub-6GHz band has not been able to meet the increasing bandwidth requirement, so communication based on high frequency above 6GHz, such as millimeter wave 5G communication, broadband satellite communication, etc., has become a development direction of great interest. The small-sized devices used for high-frequency communication enable a large-scale phased array technology, which can effectively compensate for high loss of the high-frequency communication and improve the coverage capability of the high-frequency communication, and thus, the phased array technology is widely used in high-frequency communication systems. By the multi-antenna array and the beam forming technology, the large-scale phased array system can realize higher output power to overcome the propagation loss; meanwhile, the direction of the wave beam can be adjusted according to the real-time requirement of the user, and flexible signal coverage is provided. The large-scale phased array system can realize ultra-high-speed and low-delay wireless communication by matching with broadband high-order modulation signals (such as 64-QAM and 256-QAM). However, with respect to a constant envelope signal (e.g., QPSK), a wideband high order modulation signal has higher requirements on amplitude linearity and phase linearity of the system; meanwhile, the extremely high peak-to-average ratio of the broadband high-order modulation signal also provides a challenge for the linearity of a large-scale phased array system.
The power amplifier is positioned at the antenna end of each array element of the large-scale phased array system, is a main source of nonlinear characteristics of the whole system, and is also a bottleneck for the whole system to transmit broadband high-order modulation signals. The existing power amplifier generally adopts a differential capacitor neutralizing amplifier structure with AB bias. Class AB power amplifiers provide higher efficiency and a 1dB compression point near saturation output power compared to class a power amplifiers; while differential capacitor neutralizing amplifiers provide high gain and good stability at high frequencies (e.g., millimeter wave bands), class AB biased differential capacitor neutralizing amplifiers are widely used to transmit constant envelope signals. However, the differential capacitor neutralization amplifier under class AB bias generates a large amount of second harmonics, which deteriorates the amplitude linearity, phase linearity and third-order intermodulation quality of the power amplifier, and seriously affects the transmission of broadband high-order modulation signals. Therefore, the class AB biased differential capacitor neutralizing amplifier needs to be improved to be suitable for a large-scale phased array system for transmitting broadband high-order modulation signals. According to the invention, a second harmonic short circuit is introduced on the basis of the AB-type bias differential medium capacitor and the amplifier, so that a large amount of second harmonics generated by the AB-type bias low differential capacitor medium amplifier are inhibited, the amplitude linearity and the phase linearity of the power amplifier are improved, the third-order intermodulation is inhibited, and the power amplifier is suitable for transmitting broadband high-order modulation signals.
