[0003] When the signal is weak, the signal needs to be amplified as much as possible, and the gain of the low-noise amplifier needs to be large; when the signal is strong, too high a gain will cause channel saturation, thus affecting the integrity of the signal. Therefore, in order to ensure the reliability of the signal, the gain of the low-noise amplifier should have an adjustable function for different signal strengths. However, the gain of the low-noise amplifier in the prior art is not adjustable, which affects the reliability of the signal. Summary of the invention

[0019] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present invention.
[0020] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below for illustration.
[0021] refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a low noise amplifier, comprising: a radio frequency amplification module 11, a bypass switch module 12, a first switch module 13 and a control module 14;
[0022] A first switch module 13, a first end of which is connected to the input terminal of the low noise amplifier, a second end of which is connected to the input terminal of the radio frequency amplification module 11, and a control end of which is connected to the control module 14; an output end of the radio frequency amplification module 11 is connected to an output terminal of the low noise amplifier;
[0023] A bypass switch module 12, a first end connected to the input terminal, a second end connected to the output terminal, and a control end connected to the control module 14;
[0024] The control module 14 is used to receive an external control signal and control the on and off of the first switch module 13 and the bypass switch module 12 according to the external control signal.
[0025] The embodiment of the present invention controls the on and off of the first switch module 13 and the bypass switch module 12 according to the external control signal, thereby controlling the conduction state of the path where the RF amplification module 11 is located and the conduction state of the path where the bypass switch module 12 is located. When the RF signal strength is relatively low, the path where the RF amplification module 11 is located is enabled, the path where the bypass switch module 12 is located is disconnected, the RF signal is amplified by the RF amplification module 11 and then output, and the low-noise amplifier works in the amplification mode; when the RF signal is relatively strong, the path where the bypass switch module 12 is located is enabled, the path where the RF amplification module 11 is located is closed, the RF signal is directly output without amplification, and the low-noise amplifier works in the bypass mode to prevent channel saturation and affect the integrity of the signal; the working mode of the low-noise amplifier is controlled according to different signal strengths, so that the gain of the low-noise amplifier is adjustable, ensuring that the signal is optimally processed under different conditions, and ensuring the reliability of the RF signal.
[0026] refer to Figure 2, In some embodiments, the control end of the first switch module 13 is connected to the third output end of the control module 14; The low noise amplifier further includes: a second switch module 15;
[0027] A second switch module 15, a first end of which is connected to the output end of the RF amplification module 11, a second end of which is connected to the output terminal, and a control end of which is connected to the fifth output end of the control module 14; or
[0028] The second switch module 15 has a first end connected to the output end of the RF amplification module 11 , a second end connected to the output terminal, and a control end connected to the third output end of the control module 14 .
[0029] When the low noise amplifier operates in the bypass mode, the first switch module 13 is disconnected, and the input terminal is disconnected from the RF amplification module 11, presenting a high impedance, which does not affect the linearity, insertion loss, standing wave and other characteristics in the bypass state.
[0030] Since the impedance of the RF amplification module 11 is not infinite in the cold state, the standing wave ratio of the output RF signal when the low noise amplifier is in the bypass state will be affected by the RF amplification module 11. The embodiment of the present invention further provides a second switch module 15. When the second switch module 15 is disconnected, the RF amplification module 11 is disconnected from the output terminal, and also presents a high impedance, so that the output standing wave in the bypass state is not affected by the RF amplification module 11. The first switch module 13 and the second switch module 15 work together to prevent the RF signal from entering the RF amplification module 11, causing additional signal loss and deterioration of the standing wave ratio, thereby improving the off isolation.
[0031] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , the first switch module 13 includes: a second switch tube E4, a seventh resistor R8, and an eighth resistor R7;
[0032] The second switch tube E4 has a first end connected to the first end of the first switch module 13 and the first end of the seventh resistor R8, a second end connected to the second end of the first switch module 13 and the second end of the seventh resistor R8, and a control end connected to the control end of the first switch module 13 through the eighth resistor R7.
[0033] The seventh resistor R8 has a relatively large resistance and is used to balance the potential.
[0034] In some embodiments, the second switch tube E4 may be a gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube (gallium arsenide depletion-mode pseudo-high electron mobility transistor).
[0035] In some embodiments, the circuit structure of the second switch module 15 and the first switch module 13 may be the same. Figure 3 , I will not go into details here.
[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The control end of the bypass switch module 12 includes: a first bypass control end and a second bypass control end, the first bypass control end is connected to the first output end of the control module 14, and the second bypass control end is connected to the second output end of the control module 14; the bypass switch module 12 includes: a first switch unit 121, a second switch unit 122, a third switch unit 123, a first capacitor C8 and a second capacitor C9;
[0037] The first switch unit 121 has a first end connected to the first end of the first capacitor C8, a second end connected to the first end of the second switch unit 122 and the second end of the third switch unit 123, and a control end connected to the control end of the second switch unit 122 and the first bypass control end;
[0038] A second end of the second switch unit 122 is connected to a second end of the bypass switch module 12;
[0039] A third switch unit 123, a first end of which is connected to the first end of the second capacitor C9, and a control end of which is connected to the second bypass control end;
[0040] The second end of the first capacitor C8 is connected to the first end of the bypass switch module 12, and the second end of the second capacitor C9 is grounded.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first switch unit 121 includes: a first switch tube E5, a first resistor R10 and a second resistor R9;
[0042] The first switch tube E5 has a first end connected to the first end of the first switch unit 121 and the first end of the first resistor R10, a second end connected to the second end of the first switch unit 121 and the second end of the first resistor R10, and a control end connected to the control end of the first switch unit 121 through the second resistor R9.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first switch tube E5 is a gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube;
[0044] The circuit structures of the first switch unit 121, the second switch unit 122 and the third switch unit 123 may be the same. Figure 3 , I will not go into details here.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the switch tubes in the first switch unit 121, the second switch unit 122 and the third switch unit 123 can all adopt gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tubes. The three switch units form a T-type switch structure, which increases the turn-off isolation and ensures that the bypass switch module 12 does not affect the operation of the RF amplification module 11 when it is in the disconnected state.
[0046] In some embodiments, the bypass switch module 12 may also adopt a stacking structure. Figure 4 . The maximum linear pass rate of the bypass switch module 12 is directly related to the breakdown voltage of the switch tube. The higher the breakdown voltage, the greater the pass power. In the embodiment of the present invention, the maximum linear pass power of the bypass switch module 12 is increased by stacking the same switch units. However, since the insertion loss will increase exponentially with the increase in the number of stacks, it is necessary to find a balance between the linear pass power and the insertion loss. For example, the bypass switch module 12 can be composed of 2 first switch units, 2 second switch units and 4 third switch units stacked together.
[0047] In some embodiments, the switch tubes in the first switch unit 121, the second switch unit 122 and the third switch unit 123 can all adopt multi-gate D-PHEMT tubes. The multi-gate structure can also be used to increase the maximum linear pass power of the bypass switch module 12. At the same time, the multi-gate D-PHEMT tube can reduce the chip area and miniaturize the integrated circuit.
[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , the radio frequency amplification module 11 may further include: an enabling unit 111;
[0049] The input terminal of the enabling unit 111 is connected to the fourth output terminal of the control module 14;
[0050] The enabling unit 111 is used to receive the enabling control instruction sent by the control module 14 and perform enabling control on the RF amplifying module 11 according to the enabling control instruction.
[0051] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , the enabling unit 111 includes: a third field effect transistor E3, a third capacitor C6, a ninth resistor R6 and a tenth resistor R5;
[0052] A third field effect transistor E3, a first end of which is grounded, a second end of which is connected to the output end of the enabling unit 111, a control end of which is connected to the input end of the enabling unit 111 via a ninth resistor R6, a control end of which is grounded via a tenth resistor R5, and a control end of which is also connected to a first end of a third capacitor C6;
[0053] A second terminal of the third capacitor C6 is grounded;
[0054] The radio frequency amplification module 11 further includes: a bias unit, a fourth field effect transistor E1, a fifth field effect transistor E2, a first inductor L1, a second inductor L2, a third inductor L3, a fourth capacitor C7, a fifth capacitor C1, a sixth capacitor C3, a seventh capacitor C2, an eighth capacitor C5, a ninth capacitor C4, a tenth capacitor C10, an eleventh resistor R2, a twelfth resistor R1, a thirteenth resistor R3 and a fourteenth resistor R4;
[0055] a fourth field effect transistor E1, a first end of which is respectively connected to the first end of the second inductor L2 and the first end of the sixth capacitor C3, a second end of which is respectively connected to the first end of the thirteenth resistor R3, the first end of the fifth capacitor C1 and the second end of the third inductor L3, and a control end of which is respectively connected to the first end of the seventh capacitor C2, the first end of the eighth capacitor C5, the first end of the fourteenth resistor R4, the second end of the thirteenth resistor R3 and the output end of the enabling unit;
[0056] a fifth field effect transistor E2, having a first end connected to the ground through the first inductor L1, a second end connected to the first end of the ninth capacitor C4, the second end of the seventh capacitor C2 and the second end of the second inductor L2, and a control end connected to the second end of the twelfth resistor R1 and the second end of the fourth capacitor C7;
[0057] A first end of the third inductor L3 is connected to the power supply terminal VCC; a tenth capacitor C10, a first end of which is connected to the power supply terminal VCC, and a second end of which is connected to the output terminal of the RF amplification module 11;
[0058] an eleventh resistor R2, a first end of which is connected to the bias unit, and a second end of which is respectively connected to the second end of the fifth capacitor C1 and the first end of the twelfth resistor R1;
[0059] The first end of the fourth capacitor C7 is connected to the input end of the RF amplification module 11; the second end of the ninth capacitor C4, the second end of the eighth capacitor C5, the second end of the sixth capacitor C3, and the second end of the fourteenth resistor R4 are all grounded.
[0060] The RF amplifier module 11 adopts a common source and common gate structure, the fifth field effect transistor E2 is a first-stage common source amplifier stage, and the fourth field effect transistor E1 is a second-stage common gate amplifier stage. When the RF amplifier module 11 is working, the fifth field effect transistor E2 and the fourth field effect transistor E1 share a bias current, and the gain is mainly provided by the fifth field effect transistor E2. The fourth field effect transistor E1 can suppress the Miller effect caused by the parasitic gate-drain capacitance of the fifth field effect transistor E2, thereby improving the reverse isolation of the circuit. An eighth capacitor C5 is arranged between the gate and the ground of the fourth field effect transistor E1, which is used to adjust the phase response curve of the common gate amplifier circuit and improve the overall linearity of the low noise amplifier. The seventh capacitor C2 is a two-stage RF coupling capacitor, the sixth capacitor C3 is a source bypass capacitor of the fourth field effect transistor E1, the ninth capacitor C4 is a drain matching capacitor of the fifth field effect transistor E2, and the second inductor L2 is a matching inductor between the two stages. The fifth capacitor C1 and the twelfth resistor R1 form a feedback unit, which is used to provide feedback for the fifth field effect transistor E2 and improve the stability of the circuit. The thirteenth resistor R3 and the fourteenth resistor R4 are connected in series between the power supply terminal VCC and the ground, and provide a bias voltage for the gate of the fourth field effect transistor E1 through voltage division.
[0061] In some embodiments, the third field effect transistor E3, the fourth field effect transistor E1 and the fifth field effect transistor E2 can all be gallium arsenide E-PHEMT tubes. Gallium arsenide E-PHEMT tubes (gallium arsenide enhanced pseudo-high electron mobility transistors) have the characteristics of low noise, high gain and good linearity, which can effectively reduce the noise of the amplifier and improve the gain and linearity of the RF amplification module 11.
[0062] In the enabling unit 111, the tenth resistor R5 is a pull-down resistor. When there is no signal input to the input end of the enabling unit 111, the input end voltage of the enabling unit 111 is pulled down through the tenth resistor R5; when a high-level signal is input to the input end of the enabling unit 111, the tenth resistor R5 is used to prevent the input high-level signal from interfering with the RF amplification module 11, causing the RF amplification module 11 to malfunction and affect the output of the RF signal.
[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, each of the above-mentioned switch tubes can adopt a gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube. By changing the potential difference between the gate and the source, and between the gate and the drain of the gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube, the source and the drain are in a low resistance state or a high resistance state, thereby controlling the on and off of the path. When the gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube is turned on, the potential difference Vgs between the gate and the source, and between the gate and the drain is ≥0V; when the gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube is turned off, the potential difference Vgs between the gate and the source, and between the gate and the drain is ≤-0.4V. In the embodiment of the present invention, a channel level floating technology is adopted. When the gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube needs to be turned off, the channel of the gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube is in a high level state, and the gate is connected to the zero level; when the gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube needs to be turned on, the gate of the gallium arsenide D-PHEMT tube is in a high level state, and a channel level is automatically generated through the turn-on threshold of the switch tube. In the embodiment of the present invention, there is no need to provide a negative voltage power supply to control the on and off of the switch tube, thereby simplifying the circuit design.
