Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency integrated circuits, and more specifically, to a high-linearity radio frequency amplifier with an adaptive bias circuit. Background Art

[0002] Radio Frequency (RF) signal amplifiers are an important part of various wireless receivers. RF, that is, Radio Frequency, is usually abbreviated as RF, which represents the electromagnetic frequency that can be radiated into space, and the frequency range is between 300 KHz and 30 GHz. RF is radio frequency electromagnetic wave, which is an abbreviation of a high-frequency alternating current changing electromagnetic wave. The RF signal is the same as the RF concept, that is, the modulated radio wave with a certain transmission frequency. We call the high-frequency electromagnetic wave with long-distance transmission ability RF, and RF technology is widely used in the field of wireless communication. An RF amplifier is a finely tuned amplifier that can amplify the high-frequency signals used in radio communication. Wireless communication systems often need to receive signals with different strengths, and require the amplifiers in the receivers to be able to process signals with different strengths without distortion, and maintain high linearity under large dynamic range input signals, which is very crucial for dealing with complex communication environments.

[0003] In the field of electronic engineering, HBT refers to Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor. This is a special bipolar transistor, and different semiconductor materials are used in its emitter region and base region. Since the emitter junction, that is, the PN junction between the emitter region and the base region forms a heterojunction, this transistor has some unique electrical properties, such as high transconductance, high frequency characteristics, etc. Therefore, HBT has a wide range of applications in radio frequency electronic devices.

[0004] In the design of traditional HBT 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 base of each stage of amplifier 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 amplifier transistors will change with temperature, resulting in the deterioration of the amplifier gain and linearity performance. Third, the bias voltage provided for the base of each stage of amplifier transistors cannot be dynamically adjusted following the change of the input signal. The second way is to provide the bias voltage for the base of each stage of amplifier transistors by voltage division of the power supply voltage through resistors or current mirrors with resistive loads. 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 amplifier transistors change with temperature, resulting in the deterioration of the amplifier gain and linearity performance. Third, the bias voltage provided for the base of each stage of amplifier transistors cannot be dynamically adjusted following 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 base of HBT amplifier transistors, without the need to provide an accurate power supply voltage off-chip. Its disadvantage is that the bias voltage provided for the base of the amplifier transistors cannot be dynamically adjusted following the change of the input signal. Especially when the input signal continuously increases, the effective value of the bias voltage at the base of the HBT amplifier transistors will gradually decrease, resulting in a slow compression of the amplifier gain.

[0005] To avoid the situation that when the input signal continuously increases, the effective value of the bias voltage at the base of the amplifier transistors decreases, resulting in a slow compression of the amplifier gain, the traditional approach is to directly increase the bias voltage of the HBT transistors, but this will greatly increase the power consumption of the amplifier and reduce the back-off efficiency of the amplifier. Therefore, for the application scenario where the input signal power changes significantly, how to design an adaptive bias circuit for a high-linearity RF amplifier is a major challenge in the field of RF integrated circuit design. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an on-chip fully integrated adaptive bias circuit applied to a high-linearity RF amplifier to provide a bias voltage independent of the power supply voltage and dynamically adjustable following the change of the input signal for the base of the RF amplifier.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a high-linearity radio frequency amplifier with an adaptive bias circuit, comprising: a bias voltage reference source circuit, an adaptive bias circuit, and a radio frequency amplifier. The bias voltage reference source circuit provides a reference voltage Vref independent of the power supply voltage for the adaptive bias circuit, and at the same time provides a bias voltage Vb2 for the adaptive bias circuit; the adaptive bias circuit makes the effective value of the bias voltage Vb1 provided for the radio frequency amplifier always follow the reference voltage Vref through a negative feedback loop.

[0008] The present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: all circuits and devices involved in the present invention can be implemented on a chip using HBT technology, with small size, light weight, and low cost. Using a bias voltage reference source circuit to provide a bias voltage independent of the power supply voltage for the radio frequency amplifier can ensure that the HBT crystal amplifier tube of the amplifier maintains a relatively constant transconductance and realizes a radio frequency amplifier with a relatively constant gain. Using a reference voltage follower circuit to provide a bias voltage that dynamically adjusts with the input signal for the radio frequency amplifier solves the problem of gain compression in the radio frequency amplifier under a low-power bias voltage when the input power increases, and greatly improves the linearity of the low-power radio frequency amplifier.

[0020] Based on the above circuit structure, the working mechanism of the high-linearity RF amplifier with an adaptive bias circuit of the present invention is as follows: When the RF input signal is small, the Vb1 of the bias voltage is equivalent to the reference voltage Vref provided by the bias voltage reference source circuit; as the RF input signal gradually increases, the effective value of the Vb1 of the bias voltage will gradually decrease to be less than Vref. At this time, the base voltage of the HBT transistor Q15 in the adaptive bias circuit will decrease, driving the base voltage of the HBT transistor Q6 in the adaptive bias circuit to increase, thereby increasing the emitter current of the HBT transistor Q6, and finally raising Vb1 to a level equivalent to Vref.

[0021] Refer to Figure 4 。To verify the above mechanism, the present invention has carried out a simulation comparison of the bias voltage with the Figure 1 RF amplifier a therein. When the input RF signal gradually increases, the DC bias voltage Vb1 remains constant all the time, while the DC bias voltage Vb1a gradually decreases.

The reference voltage follower circuit is used to provide a bias voltage for the radio frequency amplifier that dynamically adjusts with the input signal, solving the problem of gain compression in the radio frequency amplifier under a low-power bias voltage when the input power increases, and greatly improving the linearity of the low-power radio frequency amplifier.
