Abstract
A circuit includes an amplifier having an input that receives an alternating current (AC) waveform and an output that is coupled to a power source via a bias resistor. A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator is coupled in parallel to the bias resistor via the power source and the amplifier output. The BAW resonator and the amplifier output forms a band pass filter to filter the AC waveform received at the amplifier input and to provide a filtered AC waveform at the amplifier output.
Description
- This disclosure relates to a filter circuit and more particularly to a band pass filter circuit that employs parallel resonance of a bulk acoustic wave resonator to improve the quality factor of the filter.
- Filters form an integral part of any wireless transceiver. The filters can be distributed in successive stages of various transceiver architectures such as in baseband (BB), intermediate frequency (IF), and radio frequency (RF) components of the transceiver. The RF filter in a typical receiver (RX) block suppresses the out-of-band (OOB) frequencies/blockers. In the transmitter (TX) block of the transceiver, the RF filter minimizes the OOB emission generated. To achieve such suppression and noise reduction, high quality factor (Q) filters should be selected since high Q performance provides suitable rejection capabilities. This type of performance generally cannot be achieved using on-chip inductor/capacitor (LC) tanks, for example. Typically, an external surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter is used to achieve desired rejection capability. Such SAW-type filters often cannot be integrated on integrated chip implementations however due to the size of the components that constitute the filter.
- This disclosure relates to a band pass filter circuit that employs parallel resonance of a bulk acoustic wave resonator to improve the quality factor of the filter. In one example, a circuit includes an amplifier having an input that receives an alternating current (AC) waveform and an output that is coupled to a power source via a bias resistor. A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator is coupled in parallel to the bias resistor via the power source and the amplifier output. The BAW resonator and the amplifier output forms a band pass filter to filter the AC waveform received at the amplifier input and to provide a filtered AC waveform at the amplifier output.
- In another example, a circuit includes at least one amplifier having an input that receives an alternating current (AC) waveform and an output that is coupled to a power source via a bias resistor. A matching impedance network couples the AC waveform to the input of the amplifier. A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator is coupled in parallel to the bias resistor via the power source and the amplifier output. The BAW resonator filters the AC waveform received at the amplifier input and provides an amplified AC waveform that is band pass filtered at the output of the amplifier.
- In yet another example, a system includes a transceiver that transmits or receives an alternating current (AC) waveform via one or more transceiver stages. At least one amplifier stage in the transceiver provides filtering of the AC waveform. The amplifier stage includes a low noise amplifier (LNA) transistor device having an input that receives the AC waveform and an output that is coupled to a power source via a bias resistor. A matching impedance network couples the AC waveform to the input of the LNA. A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator is coupled in parallel to the bias resistor via the power source and the LNA output to provide an amplified AC waveform that is band pass filtered at the output of the LNA.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example signal diagram that illustrates AC response for a band pass filter utilizing parallel resonance of a bulk acoustic wave resonator. - This disclosure relates to a band pass filter circuit that employs a parallel resonator to improve the quality factor of the filter. An amplifier circuit such as a low noise amplifier (LNA) can operate in a radio frequency (RF) transceiver system to provide band pass filtering of an RF signal either at an initial stage of the transceiver or at one or more intermediate amplifier stages. The amplifier circuit includes an input that receives an alternating current (AC) waveform (e.g., RF signal) and an output that is coupled to a power source via a bias resistor. For example, if a transistor device is employed as the amplifier, the bias resistor can operate as a pull-up for a drain or collector node of the device (e.g., FET or Bipolar device) to a respective power source for the device. A matching impedance network can also be provided to couple the AC waveform to the input of the amplifier.
- A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator can be coupled in parallel to the bias resistor via the power source and the amplifier output. The BAW resonator includes at least two network paths between the amplifier output and the power source. The network paths act as a resonant structure in parallel with the amplifier bias resistor to provide band pass filtering of the AC waveform at the output of the amplifier. In contrast to previous circuits that utilize BAW circuits in series with the AC waveform to provide band pass filtering, the circuits disclosed herein utilizes parallel resonance of the BAW at the output of amplifier stage. By operating the BAW resonator as a parallel circuit at the output of the amplifier as opposed to a series pass circuit, the quality factor of the band pass filter can be substantially improved over series configurations (e.g., about two to four times rejection capability of signals outside the pass band region of the filter).

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of acircuit 100 to provide band pass filtering utilizing a parallel resonator. As used herein, the term circuit can include a collection of active and/or passive elements that perform a circuit function such as an analog circuit or control circuit, for example. Additionally or alternatively, the term circuit can include an integrated circuit where all and/or some of the circuit elements are fabricated on a common substrate, for example. - As shown in the example of
FIG. 1 , thecircuit 100 includes anamplifier 110 having aninput 120 that receives an alternating current (AC) voltage waveform (e.g., from an antenna or proceeding stage) and anoutput 130 that is coupled to apower source 140 via abias resistor 150. A bulk acoustic wave (BAW)resonator 160 is coupled in parallel to thebias resistor 150 via thepower source 140 and theamplifier output 130. TheBAW resonator 160 and theamplifier output 130 forms a band pass filter to filter the AC waveform received at theamplifier input 120 and provide a filtered AC waveform at theamplifier output 130. The filtered AC waveform at theamplifier output 130 can be passed on to another intermediate stage or to an antenna of a transceiver, for example. - In one example, the
amplifier 110 can be a low noise amplifier (LNA) transistor device that receives the AC waveform at theinput 120 of the transistor device and provides the filtered AC waveform at theoutput 130 of the transistor device. As used herein, the term LNA is an amplifier that amplifies a low-power signal without significantly degrading its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). An amplifier increases the power of both the signal and the noise present at its input. The LNA in contrast can be designed to minimize additional noise. Other noise reduction components can include impedance matching networks and providing low-noise biasing circuits which are illustrated and described below with respect toFIGS. 2 and 4 . The LNAs can be employed in radio communications systems, medical instruments, and electronic equipment, for example. A typical LNA may supply a power gain of 100 (20 decibels (dB)) while decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio by less than a factor of two (a 3 dB noise figure (NF)). - The
BAW resonator 160 can include at least two network paths between theamplifier output 130 and thepower source 140 to provide band pass filtering at theoutput 130 of theamplifier 110. TheBAW resonator 160 is a mechanical device whose electrical characteristics are described via a model depicted inFIG. 3 . As will be illustrated and described below with respect toFIG. 5 , thecircuit 100 can be provided with a transceiver that includes at least one amplifier stage to amplify or filter signals in the transceiver. At least one of the amplifier stages can include theamplifier 110 andBAW resonator 160 described herein. Thus, in some cases, N stages of band pass filters as described herein can be provided by coupling thecircuit 100 to the output of a succeeding amplifier/filter stage. - In contrast to other circuits that utilize BAW circuits in series with the
AC waveform 120 to provide band pass filtering, theBAW resonator 160 acts as a parallel resonant circuit at the output of theamplifier 110. By operating theBAW resonator 160 as a parallel circuit at the output of theamplifier 110 as opposed to a series pass circuit, the quality factor of the band pass filter can be substantially improved over series configurations (e.g., about two to four times rejection capability of signals outside the pass band region of the filter). -
FIG. 2 illustrates anexample circuit 200 having amatching network 210 to provide band pass filtering utilizing a parallel resonator. Thecircuit 200 includes an amplifier 220 (e.g., FET amplifier) having aninput 230 that receives an alternating current (AC) waveform from thematching network 210. Theamplifier 220 provides 240 an output that is coupled to a power source VDD via abias resistor 250 and through a BAW resonator 254. Thematching network 210 couples the AC waveform from anantenna 260 in this example to theinput 230 of theamplifier 220. In other examples such as shown in the example ofFIG. 5 , thematching network 210 can couple signal from a proceeding stage to theinput 230 of theamplifier 220. - As shown, the BAW resonator 254 can be coupled in parallel to the
bias resistor 250 via the power source VDD and theamplifier output 240. As will be illustrated and described below with respect toFIG. 3 , theBAW resonator 270 has at least two parallel network paths between theamplifier output 240 and the power source VDD, where the parallel paths form a resonant tank circuit at the output of theamplifier 220. Thematching network 210 can include one or more capacitor/inductor series networks to provide matching to the antenna impedance. Also, a bias network can be provided to control the voltage at theinput 230 of theamplifier 220 as will be illustrated and described below with respect toFIG. 4 . -
FIG. 3 illustrates anexample circuit 300 of a bulk acoustic wave resonator. Thecircuit 300 represents an approximate electrical model of a BAW resonator which is a mechanical device providing resonant operations for electrical signals. As shown, theBAW resonator circuit 300 includes two parallel network paths shown aspath 1 andpath 2 which can be connected between the amplifier output and the power source described above with respect toFIGS. 1 and 2 to provide band pass filtering at the output of the amplifier. The network paths of the model can include a first path shown aspath 1 having a series resistor RO and capacitor CO, for example. A second path shown aspath 2 can include series resistor RM, capacitor CM, and inductor LM. Thepaths path 1 andpath 2 operate as a tank circuit to provide band pass filtering of the input AC waveform at the output of the amplifier described herein. - A series resistor RS is coupled to a
common point 310 of thecircuit 300. The resistor RS can be provided to limit current when the resonator drives toward low impedance mode based on the respective input frequency applied to thecircuit 300. At a peak impedance of about 2.4 GHz for thecircuit 300, example circuit values can include RS is about 2.2 ohms, RM is about 0.925 ohms, LM is about 83 nano Henry, CM is about 54 E-15 Farads, RO is about 0.1 ohms, and CO is about 2.2 pico Farads. Various other values and operating frequencies are possible. -
FIG. 4 illustrates anexample circuit 400 having amatching network 410 andbias circuit 420 to provide band pass filtering utilizing a parallel resonator shown asBAW 430. Thecircuit 400 includes an amplifier M1 having aninput 440 that receives an alternating current (AC) waveform and anoutput 450 that is coupled to a power source VDD via a bias resistor R1. The bulk acoustic wave (BAW)resonator 430 is coupled in parallel to the bias resistor R1 via integrated circuit bonding inductances modeled as LBW1 and LBW2. TheBAW resonator 430 and theamplifier output 450 from M1 forms a band pass filter to filter the AC waveform received at theamplifier input 440 and provides a filtered AC waveform at the amplifier output of M1. - In one example, the amplifier M1 can be a low noise amplifier (LNA) transistor device that receives the AC waveform at the
input 440 of the transistor device and provides the filtered AC waveform at theoutput 450 of the transistor device. A second transistor M2 can be provided that is in series with the LNA transistor device M1. The transistor M2 provides a control to the AC waveform at theoutput 450 based on a predetermined threshold voltage VBNCAS applied to an input of the transistor M2. - The matching
impedance network 410 matches an impedance of an antenna to the input of the transistor device M1. The matchingimpedance network 410 includes a first series capacitor C1 and inductor LS1 forming a pair to couple the RF signal to theinput 440 of the transistor device M1. The matchingimpedance network 410 can also include a second series capacitor C2 and inductor LS2 forming a pair that is coupled between a ground potential and the input of the transistor device M1. Thebias network 420 can be provided to control a bias voltage at theinput 440 of the transistor device M2. Thebias network 420 can include a transistor device M12 that is driven from a current source IBIAS to control the bias voltage at 440. A series resistor R2 can be provided to couple the bias network to theinput 440 of M1. An output capacitor C3 can be provided to couple band pass filtered signals to subsequent transceiver stages. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an example of atransceiver 500 having multiple stages to provide band pass filtering utilizing a parallel resonator. In this example, one or more LNA and parallel BAW stages 1 though N can be provided to provide band pass filtering as described herein, where N is a positive integer. In some cases, stages may be ganged in series where one stage feeds a subsequent stage. In other transceiver examples, the LNA and parallel BAW stages may be dispersed throughout thetransceiver 500. For example, a respective LNA and BAW stage may be driven from an intermediate frequency (IF) stage and provide output to another IF stage of thetransceiver 500. -
FIG. 6 illustrates an example signal diagram 600 that illustrates band pass filter characteristics for a band pass filter utilizing parallel resonance of a BAW resonator. In this example, the BAW resonator as described herein has its maximum impedance at about 2.4 GHz shown at 610 although other frequencies can similarly be supported by selecting a BAW resonator having different resistor, capacitor, and/or inductor values of the BAW resonator such as illustrated and described above with respect toFIG. 3 . In this example, the band pass filters described herein utilizing a BAW resonator at an output of an amplifier provide a quality factor of about four times or more from that of a series filter configuration. The signal shown at 610 provides a sharp filter response over the response depicted at 620. By utilizing the parallel BAW as described herein, the sharp response of 610 can be utilized to provide band pass filtering as described herein at the output of the associated amplifier. This provides a much improved quality factor (Q) over series BAW implementations (e.g., from about two to four times Q factor). - What have been described above are examples.
