Through the voltage boost unit, the NMOS transistor M in the Cascode amplifier unit is improved 1b Drain with NMOS transistor M 2b The potential difference between the sources enhances the output voltage swing and maximum power output capability of the Cascode amplifier unit, thereby effectively improving the linearity of the cascode amplifier.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to semiconductor materials used in the fields of mobile communication, microwave communication and radar, and in particular relates to a low-voltage and high-linear cascode amplifier. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of semiconductor technology, the system integration level continues to increase. Since the power consumption of integrated circuits is in a quadratic relationship with the power supply voltage, in order to reduce the overall power consumption of the system, the power supply voltage of the system is continuously reduced. [0003] At the same time, for low-voltage systems that need to be powered by batteries or ambient energy, such as implantable medical devices, wireless sensor networks, and wireless telemetry networks, it is necessary to ensure that the wireless system can work normally under low power supply voltage. [0004] However, for the radio frequency front end in the wireless system, the rad...
