Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of radio frequency integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a broadband power amplifier based on transformer coupling. Background Art
[0002] The power amplifier is an important component of the transmitter, and its related technology has been one of the research focuses in recent years. There are usually many ways to realize broadband power amplifiers, such as current reuse technology combined with resistor feedback, frequency interleaving technology, and bandwidth extension technology based on transformer coupling. The current reuse technology has a simple structure, but the additional inductance will increase the chip area; the frequency interleaving technology has good gain flatness and flexible design, but it usually sacrifices gain and efficiency; the bandwidth extension technology based on transformer coupling has two basic structures: magnetic coupling resonant cavity structure and traditional inductive coupling structure. The former can not only achieve broadband matching, but also single-end and double-end conversion; the latter has multiple implementation forms to effectively expand the bandwidth, such as the coupling of gate and source inductance, the coupling of source and drain inductance, etc.
