Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to a gallium arsenide ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch. Background Art
[0002] With the development of communication technology, the RF front end is constantly developing towards wider frequency band, smaller size, lighter weight, higher power and lower cost, and its system has been greatly improved in process materials and design architecture. In the WiFi-FEM system, the dual-band working requirements require the transceiver components to be able to convert in two frequency bands at the same time. In the RF component system of the multi-function radar, in order to obtain the polarization matrix of the measured ground object pixel to fully describe the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of the radar target, it is also necessary to use a double-pole double-throw switch to connect the transceiver port to the two antenna ports, where the antenna end includes a horizontally polarized antenna and a vertically polarized antenna.
[0003] Microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) is widely used in the frequency range of 1GHz~100GHz due to its advantages of small size, light weight, good stability and low power consumption. GaAs has a two-dimensional electron gas structure that can reduce the electron scattering of power impurities, thereby greatly improving the carrier concentration and electron mobility. GaAs process MMIC has advantages such as high speed, low dielectric loss and high reliability. As the process continues to mature, the preparation cost is also continuously reduced, which further expands its application range.
[0004] In the related art, the typical circuit structure of the switch circuit is a series-parallel-series mechanism. Figure 1 As shown, the gate resistance is not represented in the overall circuit in the process flow. In practice, the addition of gate resistance can avoid the interference of DC bias on RF signals and reduce the loss of pHEMT on signal paths. Figure 1In the switch branch shown, taking the TX end to ANT1 branch as an example, the Q1, Q2 transistors and the Q3 transistor are in opposite bias states. When Vg1 is high and Vg2 is low, that is, Q1 and Q2 are turned on and Q3 is turned off, the branch switch is in the transmitting state, and the RF signal is output from the TX end to the ANT1 end through the inductors L1, Q1, Q2, and L2. Only a very small amount of signal will pass through Q3 to the DC blocking capacitor C0 and then to the ground for loss. When Vg1 is low and Vg2 is high, that is, Q1 and Q2 are turned off and Q3 is turned on, the branch switch is in the off state, and only a very small part of the RF signal will pass through the cut-off Q1, and then the turned-on Q3 is shorted to the ground through the DC blocking capacitor C0. The cut-off Q2 again ensures that the RF signal is almost impossible to reach the ANT1 end. Of course, at this time, it is possible that the RF signal is transmitted from the TX end to the ANT2 port, or it is possible that any ANT end receives the signal and enters the RX end. The specific situation should be determined according to the conditions of each bias.
[0005] Although the above-mentioned switching circuit can reduce the insertion loss to a certain extent, since the signal passes through the transistor directly, it will inevitably cause additional insertion loss and reduce the linearity of the circuit. Summary of the invention

[0047] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Example 1
[0048] like Figure 2As shown, a gallium arsenide ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch of the present invention includes a transmitting end TX, a receiving end RX, an antenna end ANT1, an antenna end ANT2, an input inductor, an output inductor, four branches and a microstrip line connecting each device. The four branches are branch I, branch II, branch III and branch IV.
[0049] Branch I, branch II, branch III and branch IV all include: a first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1, a second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2, a third gallium arsenide pHEMT Q3, a DC blocking capacitor, an N1 node and two control voltage signal terminals, and the two control voltage signal terminals are respectively a control voltage signal terminal Vg1 and a control voltage signal terminal Vg2.
[0050] The transmitting end TX leads to the antenna end ANT1 via branch I, the transmitting end TX leads to the antenna end ANT2 via branch IV, the antenna end ANT1 leads to the receiving end RX via branch II, and the antenna end ANT2 leads to the receiving end RX via branch III.
[0051] The node where the transmitter TX connects the two branches of the antenna terminal ANT1 and the antenna terminal ANT2 through an input inductor L1 is the first node among the four nodes, and the first node is adjacent to the input inductor L1; the second node among the four nodes is the node connecting branch I, branch II and the node leading to the antenna terminal ANT1 through an output inductor L2.
[0052] In this embodiment 1, the structure of the branch is described by taking branch I as an example, which is as follows:
[0053] The first node is connected in series to the drain D1 of the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1, the source S1 of the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1 is connected to the drain D3 of the third gallium arsenide pHEMT Q3 to form the N1 node, the N1 node is connected in series to the drain D2 of the second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2; the source of the third gallium arsenide pHEMT Q3 is connected in series to the DC blocking capacitor C0 to be grounded;
[0054] The source S2 of the second GaAs pHEMT Q2 is connected to the second node and output to the antenna terminal ANT1 after passing through the output inductor L2.
[0055] The gate G1 of the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1 and the gate G2 of the second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2 are both connected to the control voltage signal terminal Vg1 via a kilo-ohm-level isolation resistor R, and are simultaneously controlled by the control voltage signal terminal Vg1. Since the gate has its own resistance in the process flow, it is not shown in the schematic diagram. The gate G3 of the third gallium arsenide pHEMT Q3 is connected to the control voltage Vg2 via an isolation resistor R.
[0056] The output inductor L1 and the output inductor L2 have different performances under different signal transmission conditions and need to be determined according to the direction of signal flow, but their function is to act as a matching circuit to offset the capacitive nature of the system under high frequency conditions.
[0057] Exemplarily, the gate width of the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1 and the second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2 is 50 um, and the gate index is 6; the gate width of the third gallium arsenide pHEMT Q3 is 50 um, and the gate index is 2.
[0058] Optionally, the operating range of the above-mentioned GaAs ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch includes 1 GHz to 17 GHz.
[0059] Optionally, in the GaAs ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch, the input inductor L1, the output inductor L2, the microstrip line, the first GaAs pHEMT Q1, the second GaAs pHEMT Q2 and the third GaAs pHEMT use the same substrate. Exemplarily, the substrate is made of silicon nitride, GaAs or silicon.
[0060] In this embodiment 1, the input inductor L1 and the output inductor L2 are both made by bending a high impedance microstrip line. Specifically, the performance parameters of the input inductor L1 and the output inductor L2 are: L=0.437nH, w=8um, s=4um, n=1.5, term_w=8um, dx=35um, dy=60um.
[0061] In this embodiment 1, the DC blocking capacitors C0 are all metal-insulator-metal MIM capacitors. The performance parameters of the DC blocking capacitors C0 are: C=0.156pF, W=20um, L=20um, airW=12um, airL=10um. Example 2
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of the isolation branch of the GaAs ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch of the above-mentioned embodiment 1.
[0063] When the control voltage signal terminal Vg1 turns off the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1 and the second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2, the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1 and the second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2 may be equivalent to an off capacitor Coff.
[0064] When the control voltage signal terminal Vg2 turns on the third GaAs pHEMT Q3 , the third GaAs pHEMT Q3 can be regarded as a very small on-resistance Ron.
[0065] At this time, only a small amount of signal passes through the turn-off capacitor Coff1, and then reaches the ground through the grounding resistor, and it is almost impossible to pass through the turn-off capacitor Coff2; looking from the input terminal Pin to the output terminal Pout is equivalent to an open circuit. Example 3
[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment 3 is an equivalent circuit diagram of the conduction branch of the GaAs ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch of the above-mentioned embodiment 1.
[0067] When the control voltage signal terminal Vg1 turns on the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1 and the second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2 , the first gallium arsenide pHEMT Q1 and the second gallium arsenide pHEMT Q2 may be equivalent to an on-resistance Ron.
[0068] When the third GaAs pHEMT Q3 is turned off by the control voltage signal terminal Vg2, the third GaAs pHEMT Q3 can be regarded as a very small off capacitor Coff.
[0069] At this time, only a very small signal is lost during the transmission process, and the view from the input terminal Pin to the output terminal Pout is equivalent to a path. Example 4
[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in the present embodiment 4, the ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch of the above embodiment 1 is tested in the range of 1 GHz to 17 GHz and in the on state. Figure 5 3 is a schematic diagram of the test results of the S parameters of the GaAs ultra-wideband double-pole double-throw switch of the above-mentioned embodiment 1. It can be seen that the insertion loss of the double-pole double-throw switch is less than 2.15dB, and the isolation degree is greater than 22.08dB in the isolated state.

The parts not described in detail in the present specification are known to those skilled in the art.
