Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) High power and high efficiency capabilities are limited: Traditional power amplifiers use a multi-channel parallel combination structure or a distributed structure. The combination efficiency of these two structures is limited, resulting in part of the power loss in the combination network, which limits high power. , high efficiency capability

[0005] (2) Low power consumption, high gain amplification capability is limited: the power amplifier of the traditional single-ended common source transistor is affected by the parasitic parameters of the transistor, the gain is low when working at high frequency, and the power capability is greatly limited at the same time, so as to achieve low power consumption more difficult

[0008] ② In the traditional amplifier based on the active transformer synthesis network, the amplifier unit often adopts a single-stage common-source amplifier or a Cascode amplifier, but the gain of these two amplifiers is relatively limited, and the output power is relatively low due to the limitation of a single tube

[0009] It can be seen from this that the design difficulties of high-gain and high-power amplifiers based on integrated circuit technology are: high power and high efficiency output is more difficult; There are many limitations in the amplifier of the
