The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Embodiment 1 See also Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a power amplifier 100, comprising an input matching circuit 1, a first-stage amplifier 2, a second-stage amplifier 3, an inter-stage matching circuit 4, and a third-stage amplifier 5 electrically connected in sequence; the input end of the input matching circuit 1 is used to access the radio frequency signal, and the output end of the third-stage amplifier 5 is used to connect to the load. The power amplifier 100 also includes a first current unit 7, a second current unit 8, and a third current unit 9, and the first current unit 7, the second current unit 8, and the third current unit 9 provide bias currents for the input end of the first-stage amplifier 2, the input end of the second-stage amplifier 3, and the input end of the third-stage amplifier 5, respectively. The radio frequency signal is matched through the input matching circuit 1, and the signal is amplified through the first-stage amplifier 2, the second-stage amplifier 3, the inter-stage matching circuit 4, and the third-stage amplifier 5 in sequence, and the amplified signal is output to the load.
[0021] Optionally, the power amplifier 100 is not limited to the three-stage amplifier 2, the second-stage amplifier 3 and the third-stage amplifier 5 mentioned above. In corresponding needs, it can also be more than three stages, for example, four stages, five stages, etc. The technical effects produced by the two are the same and will not be described here.
[0022] Among them, the first stage amplifier 2, the second stage amplifier 3 and the third stage amplifier 5 are generally HBT transistors or BJT transistor devices. The heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is a high-speed, high-frequency, low-noise, and low-power transistor based on a semiconductor heterojunction. Compared with the traditional homojunction bipolar transistor (BJT), the HBT has a higher current gain and a faster switching speed. The BJT transistor is called a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), commonly known as a triode. It is an electronic device with three terminals, made of three parts of semiconductors with different doping levels. The charge flow in the transistor is mainly due to the diffusion and drift motion of carriers at the PN junction.
[0023] Specifically, the first-stage amplifier 2 includes a first transistor Q1, a first resistor R1, a first capacitor C1 and a first inductor L1. The base of the first transistor Q1 serves as the input end of the first-stage amplifier 2, and the emitter of the first transistor Q1 is connected in series with the first resistor R1 and then grounded. The collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the first end of the first inductor L1 and the first end of the first capacitor C1 respectively, the second end of the first capacitor C1 serves as the output end of the first-stage amplifier 2, and the second end of the first inductor L1 is used to connect to the first power supply SRC1. The emitter of the first transistor Q1 is connected in series with the first resistor R1 and grounded as a negative feedback resistor, which is convenient for reducing the feedback depth, and the resistance value of the first resistor R1 directly affects the gain of the first-stage amplifier 2, which can effectively control the amplification gain. At the same time, the linearity of the first-stage amplifier 2 can also be improved, and the nonlinear noise generated by the first-stage amplifier 2 can be reduced; thereby, the nonlinear noise output by the power amplifier 100 can be reduced while maintaining the high gain of the power amplifier 100. First, the nonlinear noise generated by the first-stage amplifier 2 itself is reduced through the linearization effect of the first resistor R1; second, the gain of the first-stage amplifier 2 is increased and the gain of the second-stage amplifier 3 is reduced, so that the gain of the nonlinear noise generated by the first-stage amplifier 2 to the output port of the power amplifier 100 is reduced, thereby reducing its output nonlinear noise.
[0024] Among them, from the analysis of the DC operating point, when nonlinearity occurs, the DC operating point of the base current of the first transistor Q1 will change, and the collector current will also change accordingly. Because the collector current flows through the first resistor R1, the voltage on the first resistor R1 will also change accordingly, so that the output voltage remains stable. That is, most of the changes in the DC operating point of the base current of the first transistor Q1 are borne by the first resistor R1, which is the linearization effect of the first resistor R1. At the same time, the first resistor R1 acts as a negative feedback resistor, and its resistance directly affects the gain of the first-stage amplifier 2, which can effectively control the amplification gain.
[0025] By connecting the first capacitor C1 between the first stage amplifier 2 and the second stage amplifier 3, the capacitive coupling function between the first stage amplifier 2 and the second stage amplifier 3 can be realized. At the same time, the first capacitor C1 and the first inductor L1 are connected to each other to form a high-pass filter, which can reduce the gain of the second stage amplifier 3. At this time, since the gain of the first stage amplifier 2 is increased, the gain of the second stage amplifier 3 is reduced, so that the overall power amplifier 100 still maintains a high gain. However, the nonlinear noise generated by the first transistor Q1 is effectively reduced after passing through the second stage amplifier 3 and the third stage amplifier 5.

The second resistor R2 can also provide a path protection effect for the second power supply SRC2 passing through. First, it can isolate the RF signal from the DC signal; second, it can act as a ballast resistor to prevent the first transistor Q1 from thermal runaway when working at high power, thereby improving the safety performance of the circuit.

The second current unit 8 is connected to the base of the second transistor Q2. The second capacitor C2 is used to perform capacitive coupling or direct isolation effect on the enhanced gain of the first transistor Q1, so that the base of the second transistor Q2 receives the high gain and nonlinear noise of the first transistor Q1, and the second transistor Q2 reduces the gain, thereby reducing the nonlinear noise outputted by it. The third power supply SRC3 is connected through the second inductor L2, which can provide a power supply function for the collector of the second transistor Q2.

The fourth resistor R4 can also provide a path protection effect for the fourth power supply SRC4 passing through. First, it can isolate the RF signal from the DC signal; second, it can act as a ballast resistor to prevent the second transistor Q2 from thermal runaway when working at high power, thereby improving the safety performance of the circuit.

By connecting to the fifth power supply SRC5 through the third inductor L3, a power supply function can be provided for the collector of the third triode Q3. Optionally, the sizes of the first power supply SRC1, the third power supply SRC3 and the fifth power supply SRC5 can be the same or different.
[0031] In this embodiment, the third current unit 9 includes a sixth power supply SRC6 and a fifth resistor R5. One end of the sixth power supply SRC6 is grounded, the other end of the sixth power supply SRC6 is connected to the first end of the fifth resistor R5, and the second end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the base of the third transistor Q3.
