Abstract

The invention discloses a digital control variable gain amplifier, which comprises three stages of VGA circuits and an output buffer circuit. The first stage and the second stage of the three stages of VGA circuits are composed of a variable transconductance amplifier and a constant trans-impedance amplifier.

The variable transconductance stage and the variable transimpedance stage are introduced into the three stages of VGA circuits at the same time, so that the problem of mismatching caused by excessive transistors is avoided, high gain, accurate gain step length and constant bandwidth are realized, the linearity isrelatively good, and a wide dynamic range system is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of variable gain amplifier design, in particular to a digitally controlled variable gain amplifier. Background technique [0002] Due to the existence of low atmospheric attenuation, the research and design of several millimeter-wave spectral windows, such as 35GHz, 77GHz, 95GHz and 140GHz, have received more and more attention in recent years. Existing applications include 60GHz wireless communication, 77GHz collision avoidance radar and 94GHz imaging, etc. In these applications, the passive millimeter-wave imaging system has the advantages of small size, light weight, and low power consumption; as an important part of the passive wave imaging receiver, the baseband VGA is used to offset the change of the input signal level and maintain The output signal level is stabilized to maximize the dynamic range of the receiver. [0003] The VGA design of mmWave imaging receivers faces many challenges such as wide...
