Problems solved by technology

The main challenges faced by 5G millimeter-wave phased array MMIC chips include the compromise of power and integration, precise control of phase and amplitude, efficiency under advanced working conditions, and in-band and out-of-band non-ideal effects under high bandwidth.
Therefore, the traditional variable gain amplifier structure and attenuator are difficult to meet the requirements of high gain adjustment range, high precision and low phase shift in millimeter wave phased array applications
Variable gain amplifiers, whose circuits generally use high-electron mobility transistor (high-electron mobility transistor, HEMT) monolithic-microwave-integrated-circuit (monolithic-microwave-integrated-circuit) technology, such as gallium nitride (GaN) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) processes, but they are relatively expensive

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuit design, in particular to the technical field applicable to the design of radio frequency variable gain amplifiers in millimeter wave phased array systems. Background technique [0002] With the development of 5G communication technology, the millimeter wave phased array system has become a research hotspot because of its unique advantages. Compared with 4G, the transmission distance of millimeter wave signals is shorter. Due to factors such as shorter wavelengths and air absorption, the transmission distance of 5G signals is about 200 meters. In order to meet the data traffic demand of short-distance transmission range, 5G will adopt massive multiple-input multiple-output technology (Massive MIMO) to double the system communication capacity by using multiple antennas. In addition to the reference in 5G communication technology, the application of millimeter wave technology in the mil...
