Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a gain-adjustable low-noise amplifier and a radio frequency chip. Background Art
[0002] With the update and iteration of electronic devices, their performance is constantly improving. In 4G and 5G networks, data transmission is completed through carrier channels. In the 5G era, due to the increase in spectrum resources and more advanced technologies, carrier aggregation (CA) has become one of the key technologies to achieve high-speed data transmission. Through carrier aggregation, operators can make full use of spectrum resources to provide higher data transmission rates and more stable network connections. The RF low noise amplifier (LNA), as the first-level active device of the RF front-end system, provides a channel for carrier aggregation. In order to meet the CA combination requirements between LNAs, there will be multiple LNAs that need to meet the same channel input. When CA combination is not performed, the input and output isolation between different LNAs must be guaranteed.
[0003] At present, in the design of multi-LNA with carrier aggregation CA function, in addition to the independent combination between each LNA, there is also a situation where the common port between multiple LNAs acts as a supplementary input to complete the CA combination. In terms of design, direct input switching may lead to input matching and sacrifices in gain and noise coefficient, which brings certain problems to the consistency of performance between ports, and this noise sacrifice cannot be perfected, resulting in poor RF performance indicators.
