Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of field effect transistor radio frequency power amplifiers and integrated circuits, and in particular to a radio frequency power amplifier chip circuit for vehicle networking communications (C-V2X) based on cellular technology and a transmitting module for vehicle networking communications (C-V2X) applications. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of 5G wireless communication systems and RF circuits, Internet of Vehicles communications based on 5.9GHz cellular technology also have unprecedented application space, and its RF front-end transceiver circuits are also developing towards high performance, high integration, and low power consumption. Therefore, the Internet of Vehicles communications market urgently needs the transmitter's RF power amplifier to have high linear output power and efficiency, reduce heat dissipation, and improve circuit stability, and the power amplifier chip is the key to meeting this market demand. However, when using integrated circuit technology to design the power amplifier chip circuit for the Internet of Vehicles communications market, its performance and cost are subject to certain constraints, mainly reflected in:
[0003] (1) The efficiency of the power amplifier is limited at high back-off power, and the power consumption is high: When traditional class AB power amplifiers amplify high peak-to-average ratio signals, their efficiency is low at high back-off power, and therefore the power consumption is high.
[0004] (2) Power gain is limited and insertion loss is significantly deteriorated: The 5.9 GHz frequency band is often implemented using a semiconductor process with lower cost and lower characteristic frequency. This results in the single-tube gain of the power amplifier being limited. In addition, as the frequency band increases, the parasitic parameters of the transistor increase, and the parasitic loss of the circuit deteriorates significantly, affecting the performance of the circuit.
[0005] (3) Limitations of using lumped parameter circuit design: When designing traditional lumped parameter RLC matching circuits in the 5.9 GHz band, it is still necessary to use devices with large chip areas such as inductors and capacitors. In addition, due to the increased substrate loss and low inductor Q value, this brings limitations to circuit design.
[0006] There are many common circuit structures with high linear output power and efficiency amplifiers. The most typical one is the Doherty single-ended power amplifier. However, it is difficult for the traditional Doherty single-ended power amplifier to meet the power amplifier index requirements of the Internet of Vehicles communication market at the same time. The main reasons are:
[0007] (1) When the traditional Doherty single-ended power amplifier is used to implement the 5.9 GHz frequency band circuit design, the back-off efficiency index is often poor due to the influence of parasitic parameters;
[0008] (2) When traditional Doherty single-ended power amplifiers are used to implement 5.9 GHz frequency band circuit designs, class AB driver amplifiers are often used to drive Doherty amplifiers. Therefore, when working at the back-off efficiency, under the gain compensation effect of the class AB amplifier, it is often impossible to simultaneously meet the good load-pulling effect of the Doherty amplifier main and auxiliary circuits under high back-off, resulting in reduced back-off efficiency and deterioration of linearity indicators.
[0009] In addition, the use of depletion-type field effect transistors often requires additional negative voltage supply, which will also increase the complexity of the circuit. Summary of the invention

Among them, the phase difference between the input end of the input four-way differential phase shift distribution and bias network and the first, second, third and fourth output end signals is 0 degree, 90 degree, 180 degree and 270 degree respectively, so that the signal phase difference between the first input end and the second input end of the first and second differential double stack amplifiers is 180 degrees, and the relative phase difference between the input ports of the first and second differential double stack amplifiers is 90 degrees, thereby realizing an input phase difference similar to that of Doherty amplifier.

[0036] Combine the following Figure 2 The specific working principle and process of the present invention are introduced:
[0037] The RF input signal is passed through the RF input port in After entering the circuit, the signal is input through a four-way differential phase shift distribution and bias network for impedance transformation and matching, and then simultaneously enters the input ends of the first and second differential double-stack amplifiers in the form of equal-power differential signals.
[0038] 1) When the differential signal power is lower than the saturation input power point of the first differential double-stack amplifier, only the first and third differential double-stack amplifiers work and have output signals, while the second and fourth differential double-stack amplifiers do not work and have no output signals.

After power amplification, they enter the output four-way differential phase shift synthesis and bias network respectively. After the four-way differential signals are power synthesized, they are converted into single-ended signals and then output from the output end RF out Output.
[0040] Based on the above circuit analysis, the RF power amplifier for vehicle networking communication proposed by the present invention is different from the previous amplifier structure based on integrated circuit technology in that the core architecture adopts a differential dual-stack amplifier and a transformer to achieve a structure equivalent to the Doherty power amplifier working mode:
[0041] The differential dual stack amplifier is very different in structure from the traditional single transistor, so we will not go into details here;
[0042] The difference between the differential double stack amplifier and the cascode differential amplifier is that the stack gate compensation capacitor of the common gate tube of the cascode transistor is a capacitor with a larger capacitance, which is used to realize the AC grounding of the gate, while the gate of the differential double stack amplifier is a matching capacitor with a smaller capacitance, which realizes the synchronous swing of the gate voltage, increases the circuit breakdown voltage and improves the impedance matching of the transistors between the stacks;
[0043] The use of a differential double-stacked amplifier to implement a Doherty structure amplifier can significantly improve the circuit's suppression characteristics for parasitic parameters and improve high-frequency circuit indicators compared to a traditional single-ended amplifier structure.
[0044] In the entire RF power amplifier for Internet of Vehicles communications, the size of the transistor and the sizes of other resistors and capacitors are determined after comprehensive consideration of various indicators such as the gain, back-off efficiency and output power of the entire circuit. Through subsequent layout design and reasonable layout, the required indicators can be better achieved, achieving high power output capability, high back-off efficiency, high power gain, and good input-output matching characteristics.
