[0018] Furthermore, the feeding circuit includes two mutually perpendicular high-impedance microstrip lines, and a fan-shaped open-circuit branch is provided at the perpendicular intersection.
[0019] Because the bias circuit of the Ku-band miniaturized low noise amplifier is connected in parallel to the transmission line of the LNA, it will inevitably affect the signal transmission. Therefore, a choke circuit needs to be added near the transmission line. It is usually composed of a quarter-wavelength transmission line and a distributed fan-shaped capacitor to prevent the high-frequency signal from affecting the DC circuit and preventing it from entering the DC circuit, thereby affecting the performance of the circuit.
[0020] The power supply of the Ku-band miniaturized low-noise amplifier is fed through the microstrip line of the output port of each stage of the amplifier circuit. Therefore, similar to the choke circuit, it is also necessary to design a combination of high-impedance lines and fan-shaped capacitors to prevent microwave signals from entering the power line.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0049] Example
[0050] The amplifier introduced in this article is a two-stage cascade structure. The input end uses a coaxial connector to a microstrip line vertical transition structure. Low-pass filters are added between stages and at the output to suppress out-of-band interference. The power supply is fed from the output microstrip line. Figure 1 As shown, it consists of an amplifier die, a matching network, a bias circuit, a transition structure, a feeding circuit and a low-pass filter.
[0051] (1) Select appropriate devices and DC operating points
[0052] The actual indicators that LNA can achieve depend largely on the selected amplifier core. According to the requirements for gain and noise, as well as the frequency band of application, the heterojunction FET tube NE3210S01 with a very low noise coefficient is selected here. Its minimum noise typical value at 12GHz is 0.35dB, and the gain is 13.5dB, which is a very good one. At the same time, the manufacturer provides a design toolbox for the amplifier tube, which can be used to call the tube model for DC and microwave circuit design, which is very convenient.
[0053] Assume Fn is the noise coefficient of the nth stage and Gn is the power gain of the nth stage, then the noise coefficient cascade formula is as follows:
[0054]
[0055] From the above formula, we can conclude that the noise of the first stage has the greatest impact on the noise of the entire link, and the impact becomes smaller as time goes on. Therefore, the first stage circuit should select the best operating point based on the minimum noise coefficient, and the second stage should consider the optimal gain condition while taking noise into account.
[0056] (2) Determine stability
[0057] One of the first conditions that the amplifier circuit must meet is its stability within the operating frequency band. Stability is divided into absolute stability and conditional stability. In the design, we try to ensure that the amplifier is absolutely stable. If it is difficult to achieve, we must use appropriate matching circuits to avoid the unstable area of the amplifier.
[0058] The criteria for absolute stability are as follows:
[0059] The amplifier is considered as a two-port network, which is determined by the input reflection coefficient ΓIN, the source signal reflection coefficient ΓS, the output reflection coefficient ΓOUT and the load reflection coefficient ΓL. These four reflection coefficients are independent of each other and are determined by S parameters.
[0060] There is feedback S12 inside the amplifier, and the feedback system will inevitably cause stability problems. If the reflection coefficient > 1, the amplitude of the reflected wave exceeds the incident wave, which means that the circuit has positive feedback, resulting in instability. The stability of the amplifier can be judged by the reflection coefficient. Stability means that the modulus of the reflection coefficient is less than 1. Therefore:
[0061] |Γ S |<1
[0062] |Γ L |<1
[0063]
[0064]
[0065] in:
[0066] Δ=S 11 S 22 -S 21 S 12
[0067] The necessary and sufficient conditions for unconditional stability are:
[0068] 1-|S 11 | 2 >|S 12 S 21 |
[0069] 1-|S 22 | 2 >|S12 S 21 |
[0070] K>1
[0071] in:
[0072]
[0073] Further deduction can be obtained
[0074]
[0075] The stability of the tube can be easily seen using EDA tools, such as Figure 2 As shown, NE3210S01 is stable within the working frequency band of this design.
[0076] (3) Design of DC bias circuit
[0077] The function of the bias circuit is to feed direct current to the amplifier core while minimizing the impact on microwave transmission. There are many types of bias circuits and biasing methods. This article selects source grounding, positive and negative dual power supply, and adding a triode for active bias. Although the structure is more complex than passive bias, it can provide a more stable operating point and protect the amplifier core from damage when negative voltage is not applied.
[0078] Because the bias circuit is connected in parallel to the transmission line of the LNA, it will inevitably affect the signal transmission. Therefore, a choke network needs to be added near the transmission line, which is usually composed of a quarter-wavelength transmission line and a distributed fan-shaped capacitor.
[0079] (4) Design matching network
[0080] The design of LNA is mainly about the design of matching network, and the main requirements for the matching network are:
[0081] 1. Match the input and output impedance of active devices with external impedance. Mainly divided into noise matching and gain matching.
[0082] 2. Use the matching network to adjust the transfer function to compensate for the gradual decrease in gain of the amplifier tube within a wide bandwidth.
[0083] First of all, we need to reasonably select the topology of the matching network according to the location of the matching point. The corresponding matching structures of different matching points will be very different. The Ku-band is suitable for using a distributed parameter branch structure. This article first uses a series microstrip transmission line for admittance transformation, and then connects a microstrip open-circuit branch in parallel, using its input admittance as the compensation admittance to achieve circuit matching. This is the commonly used parallel admittance type matching.
[0084] The following model is established for each stage of the amplifier. The matching and bias choke circuits are all implemented on the microstrip board. The DC blocking capacitors are interdigitated capacitors. Different optimization targets are set for the noise of the first stage and the gain of the second stage. After the initial optimization, better simulation results for a single stage can be obtained.
[0085] 2.2 Design of Passive Components
[0086] (1) Low-pass filter
[0087] In this paper, a low-pass filter needs to be added to the LNA to suppress out-of-band interference signals. The microstrip line with high characteristic impedance (inductive) is connected to the microstrip line with low characteristic impedance (capacitive), and a low-pass filter with series inductance and parallel capacitance can be obtained. The tree stump circuit structure is selected to establish the following model:
[0088] A low-pass filter includes: a tree stump structure, including a characteristic high-impedance microstrip line, a characteristic low-impedance microstrip line and a matching block; wherein the high-impedance microstrip line is connected in series as an inductive circuit; the low-impedance microstrip line is connected in parallel as a capacitive circuit; the high-impedance microstrip line and the low-impedance microstrip line are alternately connected; the matching block is formed at the connection between the high-impedance microstrip line and the low-impedance microstrip line. The device has a small size, a simple design process, high performance indicators, saves materials, is easy to process, and is easy to integrate with other microwave circuits.
[0089] like Figure 8 Described, wherein: 1-1, a first high impedance microstrip line, 1-2, a second high impedance microstrip line, 1-3, a third high impedance microstrip line, 1-4, a fourth high impedance microstrip line, 2-1, a first low impedance microstrip line, 2-2, a second low impedance microstrip line, 2-3, a third low impedance microstrip line, 3-1, a first matching block, 3-2, a second matching block.
[0090] The simulation results are as follows Fig. 9 , we can see that the in-band return loss is below -20dB, and the suppression of the right-end stopband is above 15dB, which meets the use requirements. In the actual circuit, two identical filters are placed separately. Through simulation, the cascaded stopband suppression can reach more than 35dB.
[0091] (2) Vertical transition from coaxial to microstrip
[0092] For the convenience of physical connection with the antenna, the input form of LNA is a coaxial probe vertical input. In order to minimize the introduction of mismatch and reduce insertion loss, this paper specifically analyzes and optimizes this transition structure. The following model is established and good results are obtained. The return loss is kept below -20dB in the working frequency band.
[0093] (3) Vertical transition from coaxial to microstrip
[0094] The power supply of the LNA amplifier is fed through the microstrip line of the output port. Therefore, similar to the bias circuit, it is also necessary to design a combination of high-impedance lines and fan-shaped capacitors to prevent microwave signals from entering the power line. The corresponding circuit model is established separately as follows. It can be seen that this structure has a very small impact on the transmission of the main signal.
[0095] 2.3 Overall circuit design
[0096] Although the simulation results of each discrete unit are very good, there may be resonance points when the parts are cascaded, and the performance is deteriorated. Therefore, we need to build a model of the overall circuit. The models of the filter, feed structure and transition structure are imported using the S2P file, and each variable is fine-tuned. The model and simulation results are as follows:
[0097] After simulation, the performance parameters of the two-stage cascade amplifier are as follows: Fig.16 The results show that compared with the single-stage amplifier, the noise of the two-stage cascade amplifier increases by only 0.15dB, the gain is almost twice the original gain, the gain flatness is less than 0.65dB, and the input and output are well matched. Therefore, the overall performance meets the requirements.
[0098] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. According to the technical essence of the present invention, within the spirit and principles of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made to the above embodiment still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
