Description

一种基于T型网络和耦合线的双频同步式功率放大器A dual-frequency synchronous power amplifier based on T-shaped network and coupled lines

技术领域 technical field

本实用新型属于无线通信技术的功率放大器设计领域。特别涉及一种基于T型网络和耦合线的双频同步式功率放大器。尤其是用于多频段、高效的移动通信基站末级射频输出中的一种支持双频段的同步式功率放大器。  The utility model belongs to the field of power amplifier design of wireless communication technology. In particular, it relates to a dual-frequency synchronous power amplifier based on a T-shaped network and a coupling line. In particular, it is a dual-band synchronous power amplifier used in the final radio frequency output of a multi-band, high-efficiency mobile communication base station. the

背景技术 Background technique

为了实现“绿色”通信的新理念,高效功率放大器正受到越来越多的关注和重视。目前有几种技术能够达到高效率的目的。一些工作模式如E类、F类功放能够达到很高的漏极效率,理想状态下达到100%的漏极效率,但是这类功放的缺点是线性度比较差。Doherty(多尔蒂)结构的功放兼有较高的效率(相对于AB类放大器)和较好线性度(相对于C类放大器),目前已广泛地应用于无线通信基站当中。但是由于其结构特点,带宽受到限制,无法满足宽带系统的要求。Doherty电路的基本原理是将输入信号的平均部分和峰值部分分开放大,然后合成,从而获得高效率。由于Doherty结构的有源负载牵引特性,使得功放能在一定功率回退的范围内保证较高效率,满足不同峰均比调制信号的放大需求。数字预失真技术与Doherty功放相结合,可以实现高效率、高线性功放。  In order to realize the new concept of "green" communication, high-efficiency power amplifiers are receiving more and more attention and attention. Several techniques are currently available to achieve high efficiency. Some working modes such as Class E and Class F power amplifiers can achieve very high drain efficiency, and ideally reach 100% drain efficiency, but the disadvantage of this type of power amplifier is that its linearity is relatively poor. The Doherty (Doherty) structure power amplifier has both higher efficiency (compared to class AB amplifier) and better linearity (compared to class C amplifier), and has been widely used in wireless communication base stations. However, due to its structural characteristics, the bandwidth is limited and cannot meet the requirements of broadband systems. The basic principle of the Doherty circuit is to separately amplify the average part and the peak part of the input signal, and then synthesize them to obtain high efficiency. Due to the active load-pulling characteristics of the Doherty structure, the power amplifier can guarantee higher efficiency within a certain power back-off range, and meet the amplification requirements of modulation signals with different peak-to-average ratios. The combination of digital pre-distortion technology and Doherty power amplifier can realize high efficiency and high linearity power amplifier. the

随着技术发展,未来移动通信系统需要同时支持不同的标准,这就要求基站发射机终端能够同时处理不同频率的信号,因此多频段工作的功率放大器将得到很大应用。为了实现多频段工作,一些设计功放的方法被提出来。其中有一类功放用并联功放实现多频工作,每个功放调节到单频最佳工作状态,需要时使用开关选择适合的功放处理不同频率的信号。这类功放的设计方法简单,但是成本很高,而且不能同时处理多频信号。另外一类功放使用可重构的负载网络实现多频 工作,这类功放的负载网络中包含一些可调节的元件,如微机电系统,可变电容二极管等,通过电压控制这些元件改变负载网络参数,使其在某一频率实现最佳工作状态。这类功放的电压控制比较难,而且不能同时处理多频信号。第三类功放使用多频带通网络实现多频工作,这类功放的设计比较复杂,优点是它能同时处理多频信号。  With the development of technology, the future mobile communication system needs to support different standards at the same time, which requires the base station transmitter terminal to be able to process signals of different frequencies at the same time, so power amplifiers working in multiple frequency bands will be widely used. In order to realize multi-band work, some methods of designing power amplifiers have been proposed. Among them, there is a type of power amplifier that uses parallel power amplifiers to achieve multi-frequency work. Each power amplifier is adjusted to the best working state of a single frequency. When necessary, use a switch to select a suitable power amplifier to process signals of different frequencies. The design method of this type of power amplifier is simple, but the cost is very high, and it cannot process multi-frequency signals at the same time. Another type of power amplifier uses a reconfigurable load network to achieve multi-frequency operation. The load network of this type of power amplifier contains some adjustable components, such as micro-electromechanical systems, variable capacitance diodes, etc., and these components are controlled by voltage to change the parameters of the load network. , so that it can achieve the best working condition at a certain frequency. The voltage control of this type of power amplifier is more difficult, and it cannot handle multi-frequency signals at the same time. The third type of power amplifier uses a multi-frequency band-pass network to achieve multi-frequency work. The design of this type of power amplifier is relatively complicated, and the advantage is that it can process multi-frequency signals at the same time. the

传统的Doherty功放由一个功分器加一段四分之一波长传输线、一个主功放、一个辅功放、两段延迟线、一段四分之一波长传输线组成,因为这些组成元件只能工作在一个频率下,所以传统Doherty功放只能工作在单一频段上。  The traditional Doherty power amplifier consists of a power divider plus a quarter-wavelength transmission line, a main power amplifier, an auxiliary power amplifier, two delay lines, and a quarter-wavelength transmission line, because these components can only work at one frequency Therefore, the traditional Doherty power amplifier can only work in a single frequency band. the

目前,基于一些双频结构,一些无源器件能够实现双频同步工作。在一些文章中,一种T型网络被用来实现双频的定向耦合器,这种定向耦合器与传统的定向耦合器结构相同,不同点在于其中的每段四分之一波长的传输线被T型网络代替。这种T型网络包含两段串联传输线和一段置于中间的分支线,分支线可以是短路到地的,也可以是开路的。这种定向耦合器能够实现在任意两个不同频率下,将输入功率等分到两个输出端口并附加90°的相位差。在一些文章中,耦合线被用来实现双频工作的Wilkinson(威尔金森)功分器,耦合线可以是单节的也可以是双节的。耦合线的功能是代替了传统Wilkinson功分器中的四分之一波长的传输线,在两个不同频率下都显示出四分之一波长的相位延迟特性。使用T型网络的特点是其频率比能做很大,缺点是其尺寸比较大,频率比比较大时,其中分支线可能很细(末端开路)或者很粗(末端短路)。耦合线的特点是尺寸比较小,缺点是其频率比范围较小,当参数设定正确后,T型网络或者耦合线都能等效为一段双频的传输线  At present, based on some dual-frequency structures, some passive devices can realize dual-frequency synchronous operation. In some articles, a T-type network is used to implement a dual-band directional coupler. This directional coupler has the same structure as a traditional directional coupler. The difference is that each quarter-wavelength transmission line is T-network instead. This T-network consists of two series transmission lines and a branch line placed in the middle. The branch line can be shorted to ground or open. This directional coupler can divide the input power equally to two output ports and add a 90° phase difference at any two different frequencies. In some articles, coupled lines are used to realize dual-frequency Wilkinson (Wilkinson) power dividers, and the coupled lines can be single-section or double-section. The function of the coupled line is to replace the quarter-wavelength transmission line in the traditional Wilkinson power splitter, and it shows a quarter-wavelength phase delay characteristic at two different frequencies. The characteristic of using a T-shaped network is that its frequency ratio can be made very large. The disadvantage is that its size is relatively large. When the frequency ratio is relatively large, the branch line may be very thin (open end) or thick (short circuit at the end). The characteristic of the coupled line is that the size is relatively small, and the disadvantage is that its frequency ratio range is small. When the parameters are set correctly, the T-type network or the coupled line can be equivalent to a dual-frequency transmission line.

一种基于T型网络和耦合线的双频同步式功率放大器首先需要确定双频Doherty功放的结构模型,传统的Doherty功放为双路模型,后来发展出多路模型,本发明提出的双频Doherty功放模型也分为双路和多路模型。如图1所示为一个双频双路Doherty功放模型,其结构与传统单频双路Doherty功放一样,具体结构是一个双频主功放和一个双频辅助功放分别连接至双频双路功分器加90°相位差输出的功分器模块;双频定向耦合器或双频双路功分器加90°相位差输出的功分器模块与输入端连接,双频主功放和双频辅助功放分别与主双频延迟线和辅双频延迟线连接,主双频延迟线与第一段双频四分之一波长传输线连接,第一段双频四分之一波长传输线与辅双频延迟线和第二双频四分之一波长传输 线连接在一起,第二段双频四分之一波长传输线连接输出端;其中的各个元件均为双频模型,双频传输线(延迟线及四分之一波长传输线)。双频双路功率分配及90°相位差输出模块可以用定向耦合器,也可用Wilkinson功分加90°延迟线实现。图2为一个多路双频Doherty功放模型,与双路模型不同的是,它含有多个辅助功放,因此其前级需要一个多路功分器将功率分配到各个功放。三路功分器可独立实现,三路以上的功分器可以用多个功分级联实现。具体结构是一个双频主功放和第一双频辅助功放至第N双频辅助功放分别与双频双路功分器加90°相位差输出的功分器模块连接;双频主功放与主双频延迟线连接,主双频延迟线与第一段双频四分之一波长传输线连接,第一双频辅助功放至第N双频辅助功放对应地与第一双频延迟线至第N双频延迟线连接,第一双频延迟线至第N双频延迟线公共节点再与第一段双频四分之一波长传输线和第二段双频四分之一波长传输线的公共节点连接,第二段双频四分之一波长传输线连接输出端。  A kind of dual-frequency synchronous type power amplifier based on T-type network and coupling line first needs to determine the structural model of dual-frequency Doherty power amplifier, traditional Doherty power amplifier is a dual-channel model, develops a multi-channel model later, the dual-frequency Doherty power amplifier proposed by the present invention The power amplifier model is also divided into two-way and multi-way models. Figure 1 shows a dual-frequency dual-channel Doherty power amplifier model. Its structure is the same as that of the traditional single-frequency dual-channel Doherty power amplifier. The specific structure is that a dual-frequency main power amplifier and a dual-frequency auxiliary power amplifier are respectively connected to the dual-frequency dual-channel power distribution Power splitter module with 90° phase difference output; dual-frequency directional coupler or dual-frequency dual-way power splitter plus 90° phase difference output power splitter module is connected to the input terminal, dual-frequency main power amplifier and dual-frequency auxiliary The power amplifier is connected to the main dual-frequency delay line and the auxiliary dual-frequency delay line respectively, the main dual-frequency delay line is connected to the first dual-frequency quarter-wavelength transmission line, and the first dual-frequency quarter-wavelength transmission line is connected to the auxiliary dual-frequency The delay line and the second dual-frequency quarter-wavelength transmission line are connected together, and the second dual-frequency quarter-wavelength transmission line is connected to the output end; each component in it is a dual-frequency model, and the dual-frequency transmission line (delay line and quarter wavelength transmission line).

Figure 2 shows a multi-channel dual-frequency Doherty power amplifier model, which is different from the dual-channel model in that it contains multiple auxiliary power amplifiers, so a multi-channel power divider is required to distribute power to each power amplifier in its front stage. Three-way power splitters can be realized independently, and more than three-way power splitters can be realized by multiple power stages.
