Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a power amplification module, an antenna unit and a phased array system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, millimeter wave communication technology has developed rapidly, such as millimeter wave 5G communication, millimeter wave broadband satellite communication, etc. Large-scale phased array technology used in millimeter wave communication can effectively compensate for the high loss of millimeter wave frequency band and improve the coverage capability of millimeter wave communication system. Through large-scale antenna array combined with beamforming technology, large-scale phased array wireless communication system can realize higher output power to overcome the propagation loss; at the same time, the pointing of the beam can be adjusted according to the real-time position of the user to provide flexible and stable signal coverage.
[0003] Under the premise of realizing stable signal coverage, large-scale phased array system usually uses high-order modulation signals (such as 64-QAM, 256-QAM) combined with carrier aggregation technology to improve the data throughput of wireless communication system, thereby realizing ultra-high speed and low latency wireless communication. For example, in the millimeter wave 5G standard issued by 3GPP organization, the carrier unit of the modulation signal supports a bandwidth of up to 400MHz, and the carrier aggregation mode supports up to 16 carrier units, that is, the millimeter wave 5G phased array system needs to support a modulation signal with a bandwidth of up to 16x400MHz (i.e. 6.4GHz). Compared with the signal bandwidth of less than 100MHz in the traditional sub-6GHz communication system, the signal bandwidth of the millimeter wave communication system has been improved by orders of magnitude.
[0004] The power amplifier is located at the antenna end of each array element of the large-scale phased array system, and is the main source of nonlinearity of the entire system. The ultra-wideband high-order modulation signal used in the millimeter wave communication system puts forward new challenging requirements for the design of the second harmonic path and the DC power supply network of the power amplifier. How to realize the power amplifier for ultra-wideband modulation signal has become a difficult problem for those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0064] wherein the first inductor 302 and the second inductor 303 are identical, and the third inductor 304 and the fourth inductor 305 are identical.
[0065] The first end of the first inductor 302 is connected to the first end of the output matching network 300, and is connected to the third end of the differential common-source capacitor and the power amplifier 200, for example, the drain of the first transistor 201 as mentioned above.
[0066] The first end of the second inductor 303 is the second end of the output matching network 300, and is connected to the fourth end of the differential common-source capacitor and the power amplifier 200, for example, the drain of the second transistor 202 as mentioned above.

[0069] The second end of the first inductor 302 is connected to the second end of the second inductor 303, and the second end of the third inductor 304 is connected to the second end of the fourth inductor 305.
[0070] The first inductor 302 and the second inductor 303 constitute a second primary coil, the third inductor 304 and the fourth inductor 305 constitute a second secondary coil, and the second primary coil and the second secondary coil form a transformer structure, and the connection between the second end of the first inductor 302 and the second end of the second inductor 303 is the center tap of the second primary coil.
[0071] One end of the third capacitor 301 is connected to the center tap of the second primary coil, and the other end of the third capacitor 301 is connected to the ground.

For the differential signal, the connection point of the first inductor 302 and the second inductor 303 (i.e., the center tap of the second primary coil) is the virtual ground point for the differential signal. The third capacitor 301 is virtually shielded, therefore, the third capacitor 301 will not have any effect on the differential fundamental signal.

[0085] Optionally, the fourth capacitor 412 is a metal layer interdigital capacitor, and is placed directly above the third transistor 411 in the layout design.
[0086] Optionally, the metal layer interdigital capacitor (the fourth capacitor 412) is composed of the overlapping of the spare metal layer above the third transistor 411, and the capacitance value of the high-density capacitor 401 is improved without increasing the area occupied by the high-density capacitor 401.
[0087] In the scheme, the ultra-wideband power bypass network 400 is connected to the power amplification module from the center tap of the second primary coil of the output matching network 300, and the signal envelope of the millimeter wave ultra-wideband modulation signal is provided with the ultra-wideband power bypass through the virtual ground property of the differential signal, without any influence on the differential fundamental signal, to avoid the signal distortion caused by the direct current power network, and effectively improve the ability of the millimeter wave power amplification module to transmit the ultra-wideband modulation signal.
[0088] The embodiment of the application further provides an antenna unit, which comprises the power amplification module.
[0089] The embodiment of the application further provides a phased array system, which comprises the antenna unit.

Secondly, by stacking large-size transistors and metal layer interdigital capacitors, the capacitance density is improved, the capacitance value that can be integrated per unit area is effectively improved, and an ultra-wideband power supply bypass network is realized on-chip. Finally, the second harmonic filter circuit is an inductor-capacitor series resonance circuit, and the resonance point is located at the second harmonic. The inductance in the resonance circuit is derived from the transformer at the output end of the power amplification module, and the capacitance is shielded at the fundamental frequency due to the virtual ground characteristic of the differential signal, thereby eliminating the influence of the second harmonic filter circuit on the fundamental signal.
