[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The embodiment of the application provides a low-noise amplification circuit 10, at least comprising: an amplification input circuit 100, an amplification output circuit 200 and a first resonant circuit 300, wherein:

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 The amplification input circuit 100 and the amplification output circuit 200; at least one set of tail inductance structures is arranged in the amplification input circuit 100 and the amplification output circuit 200; the amplification input circuit 100 is a circuit for receiving, preliminarily amplifying and processing a signal RFin to be amplified, the amplification output circuit 200 is a circuit for secondarily amplifying and processing the signal RFin to be amplified, and the embodiment of the application limits the specific form of the amplification input circuit 100 and the amplification output circuit 200, which only needs to have the function of low-noise amplification of the signal RFin to be amplified. The tail inductance structure can be composed of one or more inductors, the tail inductance structure can be grounded, and the tail inductance structure and the first resonant circuit 300 jointly form a source degeneration inductance network with obvious frequency characteristics. The source degeneration inductance network can keep a high Q value (the Q value of an inductor L2, also referred to as the quality factor of the inductor L2, is a main parameter for measuring an inductor. The Q value of the inductor refers to the ratio of the inductive reactance to the equivalent loss resistance of the inductor when the inductor works under an alternating voltage at a certain frequency. The higher the Q value of the inductor, the smaller the loss and the higher the efficiency) in a working frequency range. The Q value rapidly decreases at high frequencies, thereby greatly improving the high-frequency stability of the low-noise amplification circuit 10.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 The first resonant circuit 300 is in a closed structure, the first resonant circuit 300 is coupled to the tail inductance structure, and the first resonant circuit 300 is used for discharging a current generated by the tail inductance structure; the first resonant circuit 300 at least comprises a secondary coil L3 and a first capacitor module C1, wherein: the secondary coil L3 is coupled to a primary coil L1 in the tail inductance structure; the secondary coil L3 and the primary coil L1 form a coupled inductor L2 pair and oscillate with each other. A first end of the first capacitor module C1 is electrically connected to the secondary coil L3. In an optional embodiment, a second end of the first capacitor module C1 is grounded, so as to discharge the current generated by the tail inductance structure. The first capacitor module C1 can be composed of one or more series capacitors, and the capacitor has the characteristics of passing high frequencies and blocking low frequencies. That is, in the case of low frequencies, the first capacitor module C1 is equivalent to an open circuit, and the first resonant circuit 300 does not work; in the case of high frequencies, the first capacitor module C1 is equivalent to a closed circuit, and forms an LC closed resonant circuit. Since the first resonant circuit 300 is grounded, the frequency generated by the primary coil L1 can be discharged to the ground in the case of high frequencies, and does not work in the case of low frequencies.

[0056] In the low noise amplifier 10, the source degeneration inductance often forms a three-point oscillator with the parasitic capacitance in the circuit, thereby generating a parasitic oscillation phenomenon, which is not obvious at low frequencies, but at high frequencies, the parasitic capacitance and the parasitic inductance of the circuit begin to work, and the oscillation phenomenon often occurs, which seriously affects the working stability of the circuit and causes the low noise amplifier circuit 10 to malfunction.

In the case of low frequency, the first capacitor module C1 is equivalent to an open circuit, and the first resonant circuit 300 does not work, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the low noise amplifier circuit 10 at low frequency. In the case of high frequency, the first capacitor module C1 is equivalent to a closed circuit, forming an RLC closed resonant circuit, and the resistance R1 is used to adjust the Q value of the resonant circuit, thereby reducing the Q value of the resonant circuit. The resonant circuit composed of L3, C12 and R1 reduces the inductance value and the Q value of the primary coil L1 through mutual inductance, so that the primary coil L1 presents the characteristics of small inductance and low Q value at high frequency, so that the circuit does not meet the oscillation condition, thereby avoiding the parasitic oscillation phenomenon at high frequency, and further greatly improving the working stability of the low noise amplifier circuit 10.

The secondary coil L3, the first capacitor module C1 and the first adjustable resistance R1 are electrically connected to each other to form a closed structure. The first adjustable resistance R1 is used to adjust the Q value of the secondary coil L3. The greater the resistance value of the first adjustable resistance R1, the lower the Q value of the secondary coil L3. The performance of the first resonant circuit 300 can be adjusted by the first adjustable resistance R1 to meet the requirements of different scenes and improve the adaptability of the low noise amplifier circuit 10 of the embodiment of the present application.
