Description

Radio frequency broadband power amplifier based on grounded coplanar waveguide structure and design method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radio frequency microwave, in particular to a radio frequency broadband power amplifier based on a grounded coplanar waveguide structure and a design method.
Background
A radio frequency power amplifier (RF PA) is an essential part of a radio frequency transmission system, and is also one of the most common technologies in a 5G mobile communication base station. In the front stage circuit of the transmitter, the radio frequency signal power generated by the modulation oscillation circuit is very small, and the radio frequency signal can be fed to the antenna to be radiated after sufficient radio frequency power is obtained through a series of amplification (buffer stage, intermediate stage and final stage). In order to obtain a sufficiently large radio frequency output power, a radio frequency power amplifier must be employed. After the modulator generates the RF signal, the RF modulated signal is amplified to sufficient power by the RF PA, passed through the matching network, and transmitted by the antenna.
The working frequency of the radio frequency power amplifier is usually above GHz, so that a large electromagnetic interference (EMI) problem can be generated, and in the design of the conventional radio frequency power amplifier, the transistor can generate self-excitation or deviate from a preset channel due to electromagnetic energy radiation of a microstrip transmission line. Moreover, the amplifier in a saturated operating state for a long time may cause the transistor to heat, and further, problems such as impedance mismatch, gain reduction, efficiency reduction, etc. may occur, and even a serious one may exceed the maximum temperature saving of the transistor to break down the device.
In the latest literature report, RongCabery et al at Tianjin university designs an S-band high-efficiency E-class GaN HEMT power amplifier, the saturation output power is 40.1dBm, and the saturation power gain is 11.1dB, but the radio frequency power amplifier only works at a single frequency point of 2.5GHz (RongCabery, Fu Hao, Qianfu. S-band high-efficiency E-class GaN HEMT power amplifier design [ J ]. Nankai university newspaper (Nature science edition), 2020,53(04): 32-36.); the continuous class-F power amplifier based on CGH40010F designed by large-school-pass light of large-connected oceans reaches a bandwidth of 1GHz, but the actual power is only 39.5dBm, and the output power is lower (the continuous class-F power amplifier based on CGH40010F is simulated and designed [ J ] modern electronic technology, 2020,43(16):26-29+ 33.). Both adopt the traditional microstrip transmission line mode, and radio frequency signal has taken place the radiation in space and has interfered with each other, does not carry out electromagnetic shield coupling with the ground strip, leads to partial energy loss, and the power descends.
In view of the above, a series of difficulties for realizing stable operation of the rf power amplifier and greatly reducing signal radiation and heat generation thereof become a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

It can be seen that on the rf main signal line, the distance of the microstrip transmission line from the grounded coplanar waveguide 205 needs to be strictly controlled because the CPWG transmission line mode changes its characteristic impedance according to the distance of the signal line from the ground. The importance of impedance matching is self-evident for radio frequency power amplifiers. Too close distance will affect the impedance of the signal line and make its value smaller; if the distance is too far, the grounding coplanar waveguide does not play a role of signal shielding, and the CPWG is approximately equal to the microstrip line. In this embodiment, the impedance transformation in the CPWG mode has been calculated using impedance control software to ensure that no deviation from the original design occurs.
It is worth mentioning that the grounded coplanar waveguide 205 is processed with a plurality of irregular non-array metalized via holes for four purposes: firstly, the beating needs to be staggered so as to avoid forming a resonance cavity and bringing about a radiation problem; secondly, a grounding hole is drilled along the boundary, so that the bandwidth of the CPWG signal can be expanded; thirdly, the isolation degree can be increased by dense grounding holes; and fourthly, the grounding wire is connected with the metal ground layer 103, and sufficiently good grounding is realized.
At high frequencies, where inductance is more important than impedance for a particular current return path, the return current at high frequencies follows a path of least inductance, which is directly below the signal line, that minimizes the total loop area between the output current path and the return current path. Therefore, for the ground pin of the component, a method of punching the ground via near the corresponding pad should be adopted.
In this embodiment, the input interface 208 and the output interface 209 are two microstrip lines with a length of 5mm and a width of 1.5mm, which can be used as feed points of the SMA interface of the rf source, and provide a soldering socket at one end for the first dc blocking capacitor 313 and the second dc blocking capacitor 310.
In order to reduce the loss without introducing a dielectric layer with unknown dielectric constant, the top surface and the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 102 of the present embodiment are not covered with solder resist ink.
As shown in fig. 5, the conventional rf power amplifier adopts a microstrip transmission line mode, and ground lines are not laid on two sides of a signal main line, so that the spatial energy radiation loss is large, and the bias circuit requires interfaces at two ends, which is inconvenient for subsequent routing and layout design.
As shown in fig. 6, which is a simulated comparison of the small signal gain of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and a conventional rf power amplifier, it can be observed that the rf wideband power amplifier provided by the present invention has a certain gain improvement in comparison with the conventional rf wideband power amplifier in the vicinity of the center frequency. In advance, the rf power amplifier achieves a high gain of more than 15dB, the bandwidth in this embodiment is 3.20-4.10GHz, while the bandwidth of the conventional rf power amplifier is 3.26-4.07GHz, and the bandwidth is widened by about 100M.
As shown in fig. 7, which is a simulation comparison of the large signal gain of a conventional rf power amplifier, it is not meaningful to discuss only the small signal result since the power amplifier is generally operated in a nonlinear state. The abscissa of the graph is the output power, and the ordinate is the system gain, and it can be observed that the system gain decreases slowly first with the increase of the output power, and when Pout reaches the saturated output power Psat, the gain decreases sharply, resulting in a severe gain compression phenomenon. In the large signal simulation result, the radio frequency broadband power amplifier provided by the invention still performs better than the traditional radio frequency broadband power amplifier, and the table 2 shows the index list of relative attention of technicians in the large signal working state.

Figure BDA0002912026280000101
Compared with the prior art, the radio frequency broadband power amplifier based on the grounded coplanar waveguide structure has the advantages of higher gain, larger P1dB and saturated output power Psat, smaller gain compression and higher efficiency.
The data in fig. 6, 7, and table 2 are based on simulations of schematic diagrams, and the results are ideal cases, without considering the coupling effect between the microstrip line and the grounded coplanar waveguide and without calculating the spatial radiation loss of energy. Since the embodiment of the present invention has certain advantages in simulation, it is expected that the measured data of the embodiment will be greatly improved compared with the conventional technology, and the following is illustrated by two figures.
Fig. 8 is a graph comparing the measured input return loss of a conventional rf power amplifier and a commercial rf power amplifier according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The input return loss (or S11) represents the reflection loss of the input end, and the larger the value of the input return loss, the more energy reflected by the port, i.e. the poorer the transmission effect. It is generally stated that return losses of less than-10 dB are considered less reflective.
Obviously, the return loss of the embodiment realized by the design method provided by the invention is smaller than that of a commercial product and a traditional radio frequency power amplifier, and the bandwidth is wider. The embodiment has S11 < -10dB in the range of f 2.948-3.644GHz, the commercial product has S11 < -10dB in the range of f 3.276-3.814GHz, the traditional technology has larger influence of junction temperature of the transistor due to lack of heat dissipation design, and only has S11 < -5.864dB at the position of the central frequency f 3.545 GHz.
Fig. 9 is a graph comparing the measured forward transmission coefficients of a conventional rf power amplifier and a commercial rf power amplifier according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The forward transmission coefficient (or S21) represents the energy transmitted from one port to two ports, and represents loss in a passive system and gain in an active system, and generally speaking, a gain of a single-stage power amplifier greater than 13dB is considered as a large gain.
As can be seen from fig. 9, the system gain of the commercial product is high according to the embodiment implemented by the design method provided by the present invention, the system gain of the commercial product is high, the system gain of the commercial product is S21>15dB in the range of f-2.883-3.584 GHz, the system gain of the commercial product is S21>15dB in the range of f-3.376-3.808 GHz, and the system gain of the conventional technology is 8.222dB at the center frequency f-3.545 GHz and is a narrow-band radio frequency power amplifier.
The actual measurement data of fig. 8 and 9 are consistent with the simulation results of fig. 6 and 7: the bandwidth characteristic of this embodiment is good, when S11 is less than-10 dB and S21 is greater than 15dB, the working frequency of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is 2.948-3.584GHz, and the bandwidth is 636 MHz; the working frequency of a commercial product in the market is 3.376-3.808GHz, and the bandwidth is 432 MHz; the radio frequency power amplifier realized by the traditional technology is narrow-band, and the gain is not too high and is only about 10 dB. Therefore, compared with other prior art, the embodiment has the advantages that the bandwidth, the gain and the efficiency are greatly improved, and the radio frequency broadband power amplifier with stable work and simple structure is realized.
From the above description, it is apparent that embodiments of the present invention describe a radio frequency broadband power amplifier based on a grounded coplanar waveguide structure and a design method thereof, so as to greatly reduce EMI interference of radio frequency signals while simplifying a circuit, and achieve stable operation of the radio frequency power amplifier. The design of the transistor mounting groove enables the problems of poor heat dissipation and fixed replacement mode to be cooperatively solved under the condition that a transistor grid and a drain electrode are not conventionally welded. Moreover, the impedance of the input matching network presents a plurality of sections of transmission lines with problem solving change, so that the frequency band range of the radio frequency power amplifier is widened, the working range of the radio frequency power amplifier is larger, and the gain flatness is better.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the described embodiment is only illustrative and not restrictive in every respect, and therefore does not limit the scope of the present invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and it is intended that all matter contained in the specification and/or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense and that all changes in form and/or details may be resorted to, including those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
