Description

A HIGH-OUTPUT-POWER AND HIGH-EFFICIENCY POWER AMPLIFIER
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication power amplifiers, and more particularly to a high-output-power and high-efficiency power amplifier.
Technical background
In recent years, with the rapid development of the communication industry, the performance requirements of communication transceivers are becoming more and more. A RF power amplifier is a critical hardware module at a transmitter end, and many indicators thereof such as output power, efficiency, linearity, etc. are very important for wireless communication. Thus, its design is especially critical [1], The output power of the RF power amplifier determines the length of the transmission distance, and the efficiency of the RF power amplifier determines its operating and maintenance costs. In order to realize high-performance RF functional amplifiers, a process of lll-V group compounds such as GaAs or GaN is often used at home and abroad. Although such a process can achieve a high output power, its production cost is high, its product yield is low, and it is not easy to integrate, which is not advantageous for large-scale production and application. Although the traditional CMOS process has the advantages of low cost and high integration, the transistor has low breakdown voltage, high power consumption, and poor linearity. Since its high frequency performance is poor, it is not suitable for achieving high output power and high efficiency at high frequencies.
At present, a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) based on a SiGe process has defects such as a low breakdown voltage and a small maximum current density [2], so there are certain difficulties in designing amplifiers with high output power. In order to solve the problem of high power output of an on-chip power amplifier, commonly used methods include power synthesis, connecting a number of transistors in parallel, etc. However, there is a problem that the circuit structure is complicated and the chip area is larger.
Based on the above technical problems, the present invention designs a power amplifier with a stack structure of heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) based on the SiGe process on the premise of saving the chip area, and adds a circuit structure for canceling parasitic capacitance between stages to correct a phase deviation caused by the parasitic capacitance, thereby further improving the output power and efficiency.

Detailed description of the embodiments
In order to more clearly explain the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Other drawings may also be obtained from these drawings by an ordinary person skilled in the art without creative efforts.
Fig. 1 is a partial schematic circuit diagram of a single transistor being connected in parallel with an inductor, including a first bias resistor R1, a first grounded capacitor C1, a first DC blocking capacitor C2, a first inductor TL1, and a first HBT transistor Q1. In order to solve the limitation of the low breakdown voltage and the small current density of the SiGe process, the present invention uses the technology of transistor stacking to increase the power output of a power amplifier, and at the same time, a method of connecting an inductor between a base and a emitter of each layer of transistor is used to effectively reduce the influence of the parasitic capacitance of the transistor, further increasing power output and efficiency. It is as shown in Fig. 2. A high-output-power and high-efficiency power amplifier of the present invention adopts a stack structure of HBTs (heterojunction bipolar transistors) based on the SiGe process, which is stacked by three layers of HBTs connected in series (i.e. collectors and emitters of three layers of HBTs being connected), increasing the optimal impedance value of the overall amplifier, thereby reducing the difficulty of matching. The stack structure is powered by a resistor divider method, so that each layer of HBT is biased in class AB. This method saves the number of DC power supply pads and reduces the chip area in the actual layout. At the same time, the base of each layer of transistor is connected to a resistor to convert the voltage into the current for power supply.
The high-output-power and high-efficiency power amplifier of the present invention includes a second HBT transistor Q2, a third HBT transistor Q3, a fourth HBT transistor Q4, and a resistor divider network. The second HBT transistor Q2 is disposed on a bottom layer, the third HBT transistor Q3 is disposed in a middle layer, and the fourth HBT transistor Q4 is disposed on a top layer. The resistor divider network is composed of a first resistor R2, a second resistor R3 and a third resistor R4 connected in series sequentially, and the voltage of a first voltage source VCC is divided into the bases of the layers to provide bias voltages for the three HBT transistors. The resistor divider network is connected to a collector of the fourth HBT transistor Q4 at one end, that is, the first resistor R2 is connected to a collector of the fourth HBT transistor Q4, and it is grounded at the other end, that is, the third resistor R4 is grounded to GND.
The second HBT transistor Q2 has an emitter being grounded GND, a collector connected to an emitter of the third HBT transistor Q3,and a base separately connected with a second DC blocking capacitor C3 and a first choke inductor TL2, the second DC blocking capacitor C3 is connected to the base of the second HBT transistor Q2 at one end and is connected to a signal input port RFin at the other end, and the first choke inductor TL2 is connected to the base of the second HBT transistor Q2 at one end and is connected to a second voltage source Vb at the other end. A collector of the third HBT transistor Q3 is connected to an emitter of the fourth HBT transistor Q4, and a second inductor TL3 and a third DC blocking capacitor C4 connected in series to each other are connected between a base and an emitter of the third HBT transistor Q3, the base of the third HBT transistor Q3 is also separately connected with a third bias resistor R6 and a second grounded capacitor C6, the third bias resistor R6 is connected to the base of the third HBT transistor Q3 at one end, and is connected between a second resistor R3 and a third resistor R4 at the other end, and the second grounded capacitor C6 is connected to the base of the third HBT transistor Q3 at one end and is grounded GND at the other end.
A third inductor TL4 and a fourth DC blocking capacitor C5 connected in series to each other are connected between the base and the emitter of the fourth HBT transistor Q4. The base of the fourth HBT transistor Q4 is further connected with a second bias resistor R5 and a third grounded capacitor C7, the second bias resistor R5 is connected to the base of the fourth HBT transistor Q4 at one end, and is connected between a first resistor R2 and a second resistor R3 at the other end, and the third grounded capacitor C7 is connected to the base of the fourth HBT transistor Q4 at one end and is grounded GND at the other end. The collector of the fourth HBT transistor Q4 is separately connected to the first resistor R2, a second choke inductor TL5 and a fifth DC blocking capacitor C8. The second choke inductor TL5 is connected to the collector of the fourth HBT transistor Q4 at one end, and is connected to the first voltage source VCC at the other end. The first voltage source VCC supplies power to the entire circuit through the second choke inductor TL5, and a signal flows in from the second DC blocking capacitor C3 and finally flows out through the fifth DC blocking capacitor C8 via the collector of the fourth HBT transistor Q4. The fifth DC blocking capacitor C8 is connected to the collector of the fourth HBT transistor Q4 at one end, and is connected to a signal output port RFout at the other end.
Among them, the first choke inductor TL2 and the second choke inductor TL5 each adopt a quarter-wavelength transmission line, and play a function of blocking AC while allowing DC to pass, and the first inductor TL1, the second inductor TL3 and the third Inductor TL4 each adopts a transmission line. The second grounded capacitor C6 and the third grounded capacitor C7 are used to adjust the size of the optimal input impedance and have a certain function of adjusting the consistency of the output voltage phase of the collector in each layer. The second inductor TL3 and the third inductor TL4 are used to reduce the influence of the parasitic capacitance between the bases and the emitters of the third HBT transistor Q3 and the fourth HBT transistor Q4, respectively.
The supply voltage of the first voltage source VCC is divided by the resistor divider network to provide a suitable static working point for the stacked HBTs of each layer; and a base of a HBT of an upper layer in the stack structure is connected to a collector of a HBT of a lower layer through a transmission line and a DC blocking capacitor acting as an inductor.
As the operating frequency increases, the nonlinear effect caused by the parasitic capacitance of the transistors increases, causing the base voltage to be distorted, thereby resulting in distortion of the output collector current waveform. In order to effectively compensate for the effect of parasitic capacitance at high frequencies, the phases of the output voltages of the stack structure and the motor are adjusted to ensure that the output voltage of each layer of HBT is in phase. As a result, the amplitude of the collector output voltage of the uppermost layer of HBT is maximized, thereby achieving high power output and high efficiency. As shown in Fig. 2, the inductor is connected between the base and the emitter to form a parallel resonant network with the parasitic capacitance Cbe, and the resulting equivalent capacitance Ceq is much smaller than the parasitic capacitance Cbe. The relationship between the equivalent capacitance and the parasitic capacitance Cbe and the inductance L of the transmission lines (the first inductor TL1, the second inductor TL3, and the third inductor TL4) is as shown in Equation (1):
(1)
It can be seen from Equation (1) that the addition of the structure greatly reduces the influence of parasitic capacitance on the circuit. At the same time, a DC blocking capacitor is added to a branch of the transmission lines, so that the supply current of the base of each layer of transistor does not directly flow into a main trunk. It is ensured that the output voltage of each layer is in phase, thereby achieving the maximum power output.
In addition, since a large inductor having a choking effect occupies a large layout area and the layout is difficult, the present invention adopts a quarter-wavelength transmission line instead, connecting it to a power supply terminal, to achieve the effect of blocking AC while allowing DC to pass, and the layout area is effectively reduced at higher frequencies.
Although the functions and working processes of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the specific functions and working processes described above, and the specific embodiments given above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Many forms may be made by those skilled in the art under the inspiration of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and these are all within the protection of the present invention.
