Description

射頻放大器結構改良 RF amplifier structure improvement

本發明係有關於一種射頻放大器結構,更詳而言之,尤指一種多頻放大器結構改良。 The present invention relates to a radio frequency amplifier structure, and more particularly to a multi-frequency amplifier structure improvement.

積體電路常會利用一射頻疊層放大器(radio frequency cascode)作為該積體電路輸出或輸入,在使用射頻疊層放大器的情況下,會造成該積體電路所產生之雜訊增加的情況,但若是積體電路不使用射頻疊層放大器的情況,雖可以獲得低雜訊的輸出值,但該積體電路則無法得到所要增益效果,因此常見到為降低雜訊的產生,增加一常規的射頻放大器,該種設置方式雖可以抑制雜訊的產生,但在積體電路所可運用的工作頻率受到限制,因此如何提供一可以降低雜訊,且又不影響所使用之工作頻率的射頻放大器,亦為目前較為重要之研究目標。 The integrated circuit often uses a radio frequency cascode as the output or input of the integrated circuit. In the case of using a radio frequency stacked amplifier, the noise generated by the integrated circuit is increased, but If the integrated circuit does not use the RF stack amplifier, although the output value of the low noise can be obtained, the integrated circuit cannot obtain the desired gain effect, so it is common to reduce the noise generation and add a conventional RF. Amplifier, this kind of setting method can suppress the generation of noise, but the operating frequency that can be used in the integrated circuit is limited, so how to provide a radio frequency amplifier that can reduce the noise without affecting the operating frequency used, It is also a relatively important research goal.

鑒於上述習知技術之缺點,本發明主要之目的在於提供一種降低寬頻放大器雜訊,及提高輸出增益之射頻放大器結構改良。 In view of the above disadvantages of the prior art, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved RF amplifier structure that reduces broadband amplifier noise and improves output gain.

本發明另一目的在於提供一種可運用於不同頻 率之射頻放大器結構改良。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a system that can be applied to different frequencies. The rate of RF amplifier structure is improved.

為達上述目的,本發明係提供一種射頻放大器結構改良,該結構係包括一電晶體、一變壓器及一可變電容器,該電晶體具有一輸入端、一輸出端及一控制端,該變壓器具有一第一線圈導體及一第二線圈導體,該第一線圈導體與該第二線圈導體磁力耦合,該第二線圈導體電性連接該控制端,該第一線圈導體電性連接該輸入端,該可變容器與該第二線圈導體並聯,調整該可變容器與該變壓器之匹配值,藉以達到降低雜訊及提高輸出阻抗之目的。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an improved RF amplifier structure, the structure comprising a transistor, a transformer and a variable capacitor, the transistor having an input end, an output end and a control end, the transformer having a first coil conductor and a second coil conductor, the first coil conductor is magnetically coupled to the second coil conductor, the second coil conductor is electrically connected to the control end, and the first coil conductor is electrically connected to the input end, The variable container is connected in parallel with the second coil conductor to adjust the matching value between the variable container and the transformer, thereby reducing noise and improving output impedance.

以下係藉由特定的具體實施例說明本發明之實施方式,熟悉此技藝之人士可由本說明書所揭示之內容瞭解本發明之其他優點與功效。 The embodiments of the present invention are described by way of specific examples, and those skilled in the art can understand the other advantages and advantages of the present invention from the disclosure of the present disclosure.

請參閱第1圖,係為射頻放大器結構示意圖,如圖所示,該射頻放大器100包括一電晶體M、一變壓器及一可變電容Ctune,該變壓器包括第一線圈導體N1和第二線圈導體N2,該第一線圈導體N1和第二線圈導體N2磁性連接,該射頻放大器100複包括一電晶體M、一電感L及一並聯電容Cbypass,該晶體 M有一輸入端Vin、一輸出端Vout及一控制端,。 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure of an RF amplifier. As shown, the RF amplifier 100 includes a transistor M, a transformer, and a variable capacitor C tune including a first coil conductor N1 and a second coil. The conductor N2, the first coil conductor N1 and the second coil conductor N2 are magnetically connected. The RF amplifier 100 further includes a transistor M, an inductor L and a parallel capacitor C bypass . The crystal M has an input terminal V in and an output. Terminal V out and a control terminal.

電晶體M有一輸入端Vin、輸出端Vout及一控制端,在具體實施上該電晶體M,是為一MOS電晶體,於該來源端(輸入端)Vin連接一焊盤電容(pad capacitance)Cpad,其中,於使用該射頻放大器之積體電路上,常會因為該洩漏端(輸出)所輸出的增益變異造成輸出電阻Rout混亂,故增加可變電容器Ctune進行增益值的調整,透過第一線圈導體N1改變積體電路的磁通量,因為阻抗及磁通量的改變,會造成第二線圈導體N2變化,進而達到調整工作頻率及減少雜訊的目的。 The transistor M has an input terminal V in , an output terminal V out and a control terminal. In a specific implementation, the transistor M is an MOS transistor, and a source capacitor (input terminal) V in is connected to a pad capacitor ( Pad capacitance) C pad , wherein, in the integrated circuit using the RF amplifier, the output resistance R out is often confused due to the gain variation of the leakage end (output), so the variable capacitor C tune is added to perform the gain value. Adjusting, the magnetic flux of the integrated circuit is changed through the first coil conductor N1. Because the impedance and the magnetic flux change, the second coil conductor N2 changes, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the operating frequency and reducing noise.
