Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is applicable to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular relates to a low noise amplifier and a radio frequency chip. Background Art

[0002] As an important component of wireless communication systems, low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are mainly used in the RF front end of wireless communication receivers. As the first-stage active device of the receiver's RF front end, low noise amplifiers play a vital role in the performance of the receiving system. In order to ensure the receiver's receiving sensitivity, the low noise amplifier is usually required to have a certain gain to amplify the weak signal received by the antenna, while being able to effectively suppress the noise of the subsequent modules, and the low noise amplifier itself also needs to have very low noise. The system receives a high-power signal from the antenna. In order to ensure that the system is not distorted and does not cause damage to the subsequent active devices, the low noise amplifier is required to have variable gain and the ability to expand the dynamic range. Therefore, in addition to the gain and noise meeting the system requirements, high linearity design has also become a necessary point for low noise amplifiers.

[0003] Existing low noise amplifiers mainly use output attenuation and bias current adjustment to adjust the gain of different gears of low noise amplifiers, but this method has certain disadvantages in improving linearity. For example, the design method using output attenuation, although the gain is adjustable, cannot bring about an improvement in linearity and cannot meet the step-by-step IIP3 index of the communication system; and by adjusting the bias current, the amplifier tube will work in the subthreshold region due to the low current at low gain, which will lead to poor linearity and matching of the low noise amplifier.
