Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a power amplifier in a radio frequency receiver in the field of wireless communication, and particularly to a high-efficiency and high-linearity power amplifier with an adaptive bias circuit based on CMOS technology. Background Art
[0002] Radio frequency, abbreviated as RF, represents the electromagnetic frequency that can be radiated into space, with a frequency range from 300 KHz to 30 GHz. Radio frequency is radio frequency electromagnetic wave, which is a short form of a high-frequency alternating current changing electromagnetic wave. The radio frequency signal is the same as the radio frequency concept, that is, an electromagnetic wave that has been modulated and has a certain transmission frequency. The radio frequency power amplifier is a core component in a wireless communication system, responsible for amplifying the radio frequency signal to a sufficient power level to ensure that the signal can be transmitted over a long distance and with high quality. It plays a crucial role in devices such as base stations, radars, satellite communications, and radio transmitters. The radio frequency power amplifier enhances the weak radio frequency signal to a level that can penetrate the atmosphere and overcome path loss by precisely controlling the gain and phase of the signal. In design, these amplifiers need to balance high efficiency, linearity, and stability to maintain excellent performance in a complex and changing communication environment. In short, the radio frequency power amplifier is the key to realizing long-distance, high-rate, and high-quality communication in a wireless communication system. Its technological progress continuously pushes the boundaries of wireless technology and provides strong support for the informatization process of modern society.
[0003] The 1dB compression point is an important parameter to describe the non-linear characteristics of an amplifier. Before the amplifier operates normally and enters the saturation state, its output power increases linearly with the input power. However, when the input power increases to a certain level, due to the non-linear effect of the amplifier, the increasing speed of the output power begins to slow down, that is, the gain begins to decrease. When the input power changes by 2dB while the output power only changes by 1dB, the corresponding input and output power points are the 1dB compression point. This point marks the start of the amplifier entering the non-linear region and is a key indicator for evaluating the linearity and dynamic range of the amplifier.
[0004] PAE, namely Power Added Efficiency, is defined as the difference between the RF power output by the power amplifier and the input DC power, divided by the input DC power, usually expressed as a percentage. PAE reflects the ability of the power amplifier to convert the input DC power into RF power. In an ideal situation, all the DC power supplied to the amplifier should be converted into RF output power. However, in reality, due to factors such as the internal resistance of the amplifier and the non-linear effects of transistors, a part of the DC power will be lost in the form of heat. Therefore, PAE is one of the important indicators to measure the performance of the amplifier.
[0005] CMOS process, whose full name is Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor process. It combines N-type MOS transistors (NMOS) and P-type MOS (PMOS) transistors on the same silicon substrate and is the mainstream integrated circuit manufacturing process developed on the basis of PMOS and NMOS processes. The CMOS process has the advantages of high integration and flexible design, and is widely used in fields such as portable electronic devices, high-performance computing, communication technologies, and the Internet of Things. Devices such as MOS transistors, bipolar junction transistors (BJT transistors), polysilicon resistors, metal capacitors, and metal inductors can be integrated on the CMOS process.
[0006] In the design of traditional CMOS power amplifiers, there are mainly three ways to implement the bias circuit. The first way is that an off-chip circuit provides the bias voltage for the gates of each stage of amplifying transistors. One of its disadvantages is that the off-chip circuit needs to provide an accurate bias voltage additionally, which will increase the product cost and reduce the product integration. Second, under the condition of a constant bias voltage, the threshold voltage and mobility of the amplifying transistors will change with temperature, resulting in the deterioration of the amplifier gain and linearity performance. Third, the bias voltage provided for the gates of each stage of amplifying transistors cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the change of the input signal. The second way is to provide the bias voltage for the gates of each stage of amplifying transistors by dividing the power supply voltage with a resistor or the current mirror of a resistive load. One of its disadvantages is that in order to obtain an accurate bias voltage, an accurate power supply voltage needs to be provided off-chip. Second, under the condition of a constant power supply voltage, the threshold voltage and mobility of the amplifying transistors change with temperature, resulting in the deterioration of the amplifier gain and linearity performance. Third, the bias voltage provided for the gates of each stage of amplifying transistors cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the change of the input signal. The third way is that an on-chip reference circuit provides a reference voltage to provide a bias voltage independent of the power supply voltage for the gates of CMOS amplifying transistors, without the need to provide an accurate power supply voltage off-chip. Its disadvantage is that the bias voltage provided for the gates of the amplifying transistors cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the change of the input signal. Especially when the CMOS amplifying transistor biases the gate at a low bias voltage to improve efficiency, as the input signal increases, the gain of the amplifier will show a slow compression.
[0007] To avoid the slow compression of the amplifier gain when the input signal continuously increases, the traditional approach is to directly increase the bias voltage of the CMOS transistor. However, this will significantly increase the power consumption of the amplifier and reduce the PAE efficiency of the amplifier. Therefore, for applications where the input signal power varies significantly, how to design an adaptive bias circuit for a high-linearity power amplifier is a major challenge in the field of radio frequency integrated circuit design. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The objective of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the existing technology and provide an on-chip fully integrated adaptive bias circuit for a high-efficiency and high-linearity power amplifier, which can provide a bias voltage independent of the power supply voltage and dynamically adjusted with the input signal for the gate of the power amplifier.
[0009] To achieve the above objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A high-efficiency and high-linearity power amplifier with an adaptive bias circuit, comprising: a voltage reference source circuit 1, an adaptive bias circuit 1, and a power amplifier 1. The bias voltage reference source circuit 1 provides a reference voltage Vref1 independent of the power supply voltage for the adaptive bias circuit 1; the adaptive bias circuit 1 generates a bias voltage Vb1 that dynamically adjusts with the change of the input signal amplitude by sensing the change of the input signal amplitude.
[0010] The present invention has the following advantages compared with the existing technology: All circuits and devices involved in the present invention can be implemented on a CMOS process chip, with small size, light weight, and low cost. By adopting a bias voltage reference source circuit to provide a reference voltage independent of the power supply voltage for the gate of the amplifying transistor, when the input signal amplitude is relatively low, it can ensure that the NMOS amplifying transistor of the power amplifier maintains a relatively constant transconductance and realizes a power amplifier with a relatively constant gain. By adopting an adaptive bias circuit to provide a bias voltage that dynamically adjusts with the input signal for the power amplifier, it alleviates the problem of gain compression of the power amplifier when the input power increases under a low-power bias voltage, and significantly improves the linearity and power added efficiency of the low-power power amplifier.

[0031] The working mechanism of the adaptive bias circuit 1 is as follows: when the RF input signal is small, the bias voltage Vb1 is equivalent to the reference voltage Vref1 provided by the voltage reference source circuit 1; as the RF input signal gradually increases, the reference voltage Vref2 output by the reference source circuit 2 will increase accordingly, while the reference voltage Vref3 output by the reference source circuit 3 remains at the level before the increase of Vref2; by using an operational amplifier to achieve Vref2 - Vref3, a voltage positively correlated with the RF input signal can be obtained; when the RF input signal is at a low level, Vref2 - Vref3 = 0; finally, through an operational amplifier, (Vref2 - Vref3) is superimposed on the reference voltage Vref1 provided by the voltage reference source circuit 1.
[0032] Based on the above circuit structure, the working mechanism of the high-efficiency and high-linearity power amplifier with an adaptive bias circuit according to the present invention is as follows: when the RF input signal is small, the bias voltage Vb1 provided by the adaptive bias circuit for the gate of the NMOS amplifier transistor NM1 of the power amplifier 1 is equal to the reference voltage Vref1, which can ensure that the NMOS amplifier transistor NM1 of the power amplifier maintains a relatively constant transconductance when the power supply voltage fluctuates, realizing a power amplifier with a relatively constant gain; when the RF input signal gradually increases, the bias voltage Vb1 provided by the adaptive bias circuit for the gate of the NMOS amplifier transistor NM1 of the power amplifier 1 will gradually increase, increasing the gate-source voltage and drain-source current of the NMOS amplifier transistor NM1, alleviating the gain compression of the power amplifier under a low-power bias voltage when the input power increases, and improving the 1dB compression point of the power amplifier.
[0033] Refer to Figure 7 . To verify the above mechanism, the present invention is compared with Figure 1 in terms of the bias voltage simulation of the power amplifier 1a. When the input RF signal gradually increases, the DC bias voltage Vb1 gradually increases, while the DC bias voltage Vb1a slightly decreases.
[0034] Refer to Figure 8 . To verify the improvement of the linearity performance of the present invention, the present invention is compared with Figure 1The medium-power amplifier 1a was subject to simulation comparison of gain compression. The gain Gain1 of the power amplifier 1a started to exhibit compression when the input RF signal was greater than -30 dBm. The input 1 dB compression point = -15 dBm, and the output 1 dB compression point = 5 dBm. For the RF amplifier 1 of the present invention, the gain Gain2 started to exhibit compression when the input RF signal was greater than -10 dBm. The input 1 dB compression point = -8 dBm, and the output 1 dB compression point = 12 dBm.
[0035] Refer to Figure 9 ... To verify the improvement of the power added efficiency by the present invention, the present invention was compared with Figure 1 the medium-power amplifier 1a in terms of power added efficiency through simulation. The power added efficiency PAE1 of the power amplifier 1a at its input 1 dB compression point (-15 dBm) was 11.6%. The power added efficiency PAE2 of the RF amplifier 1 of the present invention at its input 1 dB compression point (-8 dBm) was 22.1%. The power added efficiency PAE2 of the RF amplifier 1 of the present invention at the input power back-off to -15 dBm was 12.2%, which was still greater than the power added efficiency PAE1 (11.6%) of the power amplifier 1a at the same input power.
[0036] In summary, by using an adaptive bias circuit to provide a bias voltage for the power amplifier that dynamically adjusts with the input signal, it ensures that the power amplifier achieves a relatively constant gain under different supply voltages, alleviates the problem of gain compression in the power amplifier under a low-power bias voltage when the input power increases, and significantly improves the linearity and power added efficiency of the low-power power amplifier.
