RF power amplifier

A reduction is achieved in the primary-side input impedance of a transformer (voltage transformer) as an output matching circuit without involving a reduction in Q-factor. An RF power amplifier includes transistors, and a transformer as the output matching circuit. The transformer has a primary coil and a secondary coil which are magnetically coupled to each other. To the input terminals of the transistors, respective input signals are supplied. The primary coil is coupled to each of the output terminals of the transistors. From the secondary coil, an output signal is generated. The primary coil includes a first coil and a second coil which are coupled in parallel between the respective output terminals of the transistors, and each magnetically coupled to the secondary coil. By the parallel coupling of the first and second coils of the primary coil, the input impedance of the primary coil is reduced.

Third, it has a reasonably large output voltage, and fourth, it is stable over wide temperature and voltage ranges. The illustrative embodiment comprises a transimpedance stage and a gain stage. Both stages employ a pure NMOS design which contributes to the above four advantages. Bandwidth is further increased over the prior art by the use of inductive loads. The inductive loads of the illustrative embodiment are not physical inductors, but transistor-based “active” inductors: the combination of a resistor connected in series with the gate of an NMOS transistor.

Transconductance-enhancing passive frequency mixer

The invention discloses a transconductance-enhancing passive frequency mixer, which comprises a mixing stage and a biasing circuit, and further comprises a transconductance stage with a transconductance-enhancing function, a passive mixing switch pair and an enhanced load output stage, wherein the transconductance stage with a transconductance-enhancing function transforms an input radio-frequency voltage into a radio-frequency current; and frequency mixing of the radio-frequency current is achieved through the double-balance mixing switch pair, and the current after frequency mixing is transformed into a mid-frequency voltage for output through the transconductance-enhanced load output stage. As the transconductance stage uses a pre-amplifying transconductance-enhancing structure, transconductance is greatly enhanced, thus the same transconductance value can be achieved at a lower bias current, and an output mid-frequency current signal is generated after the radio-frequency current is modulated through the mixing stage. Voltage output is generated through a transresistance amplifier, and finally the mid-frequency voltage signal is obtained. As the transresistance amplifier uses a transconductance-enhancing structure, input impedance is reduced, and current utilization efficiency and port isolation are improved. The transconductance-enhancing passive frequency mixer provided by the invention has the characteristics of low power consumption, high conversion gain, good port isolation and the like.
