[0039] In this embodiment, the above four-way transistors are of the same size. The RF input and DC feeding of each transistor gate are completely separated. A capacitor is added to the RF path in front of each transistor gate, and the DC path is connected to a microstrip line through a circuit and then to the gate voltage. The output end of each transistor is connected to an inductor of a different size through a microstrip line of a different size to achieve non-uniform time matching.
[0040] In this embodiment, the amplifier circuit can change the gate voltage of the transistor by controlling the gate voltages (VG1 and VG2), so that when the received signal of the circuit changes, the circuit gain can be changed, and thus the purpose of stabilizing the output level can be achieved.
[0041] In this embodiment, Figure 1 the input matching network includes capacitor C1; one end of capacitor C1 serves as the input end of the input matching network, and the other end of capacitor C2 is respectively connected to the grounded capacitor C2 and one end of inductor L1, and the other end of inductor L1 serves as the output end of the input matching network.
[0042] In this embodiment, Figure 1 the cascode and negative feedback network includes transistor M1 and transistor M2; the gate of transistor M1 serves as the input end of the cascode and negative feedback network, and is respectively connected to one end of resistor R8 and one end of resistor R1. The other end of resistor R1 is respectively connected to gate voltage VG1 and one end of resistor R2 through microstrip line TL1. The other end of resistor R2 is connected to the grounded capacitor C3. The other end of resistor R8 is connected to one end of capacitor C8. The other end of capacitor C8 is respectively connected to one end of inductor L5 and the drain of transistor M2 through microstrip line TL5. The source of transistor M1 is grounded. The drain of transistor M1 is connected to the source of transistor M2. The gate of transistor M2 is respectively connected to one end of inductor L2 and one end of resistor R3. The other end of inductor L2 is successively connected to resistor R7 and the grounded capacitor C5. The other end of resistor R3 is connected to one end of microstrip line TL2.

[0043] In the above common-source common-gate and negative feedback network, transistor M1 is the amplifying transistor, and transistor M2 is the common-source common-gate transistor; the common-source common-gate structure in this network can achieve higher gain and higher reverse isolation within a relatively wide frequency range; at the same time, the common-source common-gate structure can achieve better noise matching, so that the amplifying circuit has lower noise. In the traditional circuit, the sizes of transistors M1 and M2 are the same. In this embodiment, in order to better achieve noise matching, the sizes of M1 and M2 are different; two LC networks (i.e., L3 and C6, L4 and C7) are added to the drain branch of M2, effectively improving the output matching of the transistor and broadening the bandwidth; at the same time, an inductor L2 of a certain size is introduced into the radio frequency to ground branch of the gate of transistor M2, which can effectively improve the gain flatness of the circuit, and the addition of resistor R7 suppresses the instability of the network. In addition, the negative feedback structure introduced in the above network can further broaden the bandwidth. The output of transistor M2 is connected to the gate of M1 through a feedback loop. The feedback loop couples part of the drain output signal of the transistor to the gate, thereby reducing the gain at the low-frequency end and expanding the operating bandwidth. The parameters of feedback resistor R8 and isolation capacitor C8 determine the in-band gain flatness. The above negative feedback structure can simplify the port matching circuit structure, reduce the matching sensitivity at the input end of the circuit, so that the port standing wave and noise coefficient can be taken into account in the circuit design, and at the same time improve the circuit stability.

[0049] The improved traveling wave network in this embodiment not only has the characteristics of flat gain, extremely wide frequency band and small voltage standing wave ratio of the traditional traveling wave structure, but also has the characteristics of high output efficiency and good stability. In this embodiment, the RF path and DC power supply of each transistor input in the improved traveling wave network are completely separated. A capacitor (C11~C14) is added to the RF path in front of the gate of each stage of transistor.
