The application of high-integration radio frequency transceiver chips greatly improves the performance of wireless mobile communication devices.
[0003] As a first-stage active module of a radio frequency receiver, the circuit performance of a low-noise amplifier has a crucial influence on the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of the entire receiver. An important index of a low-noise amplifier is low power consumption, which is mainly manifested in low current and low voltage. At present, low power consumption of a low-noise amplifier is mainly realized through current multiplexing technology, such as Figure 1 Fig. 1 shows a circuit principle diagram of an existing two-stage common-source current multiplexing structure type low-noise amplifier, which is realized based on a transistor M5 and a transistor M6. All DC currents of the transistor M6 are multiplexed by the transistor M5. Although this circuit can reduce the power consumption of the amplifier and increase the gain, the channel thermal noise of the transistor M5 in the circuit exists, so that the influence of the thermal noise of the device itself on the noise figure cannot be eliminated.

[0045] In the embodiment, the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are NMOS tubes.
[0046] In use, the current multiplexing low-noise amplifier with noise feedback cancellation in the embodiment is connected with a power supply voltage at the power supply end VDD, connected with a bias voltage at the first bias voltage Vb1 and the second bias voltage Vb2, and connected with a radio frequency signal at the input end Vin of the input matching circuit, so that the amplified radio frequency signal is output at the output end Vout of the noise cancellation output circuit.
[0047] The current multiplexing and noise cancellation principle of the current multiplexing low-noise amplifier with noise feedback cancellation in the embodiment is as follows:
[0048] I. Current multiplexing
[0049] As shown in Figure 3 , the current multiplexing in the embodiment refers to the current flowing through the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4, and the direct current flowing through the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 is used by the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 after the radio frequency signal is isolated.
[0050] Specifically, the current flows from the power supply end VDD into the first transistor M1 and the fourth transistor M4 first, the current flowing through the fourth transistor M4 is combined with the current flowing through the first transistor M1 at RFGND through the twelfth inductor L12, and the combined current (i.e., the multiplexed current) flows through the third inductor L3, the second transistor M2, the fourth inductor L4, the fifth inductor L5, the third transistor M3, the seventh inductor L7 to the ground in turn, as shown by the direct current path indicated by the solid line in Figure 3 .
[0051] For an alternating current signal, as shown in Figure 3As shown by the dotted line in the middle, the AC signal is amplified at the second transistor M2. The amplified signal is blocked by the third inductor L3. The signal flows through the second capacitor C2. Part of it is amplified again by the first transistor M1, and the other part is fed back to the gate of the second transistor M2 by the fourth transistor M4. There is still a part of the signal at the gate of the second transistor M2. After being amplified by the third transistor M3, it is output to the output terminal Vout.
[0052] In this circuit, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are common-source transistors, the third transistor M3 is a common-gate transistor, and the fourth transistor M4 is a common-drain transistor.
[0053] II. Noise Cancellation
[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the main function is to cancel the channel thermal noise Vnoise of the second transistor M2, such as... Figure 4 As shown by the sawtooth curve, after the channel thermal noise Vnoise is generated, it flows through the second capacitor C2 to the gate of the fourth transistor M4 and the gate of the first transistor M1. The fourth transistor M4 feeds back a portion of the channel thermal noise Vnoise in phase to the gate of the second transistor M2, while the first transistor M1 outputs a portion of the channel thermal noise Vnoise in phase to the non-output terminal of the tenth capacitor C10. The channel thermal noise Vnoise at the gate of the second transistor M2 flows through the fourth capacitor C4 and the ninth inductor L9, and is amplified in phase at the third transistor M3, outputting the channel thermal noise Vnoise to the non-output terminal of the tenth capacitor C10. At the non-output terminal of the tenth capacitor C10, the Vnoise signal and the Vnoise signal are superimposed and cancel each other out, completing noise cancellation.
[0055] For the signal path, the radio frequency (RF) signal is input from the input terminal Vin. After being amplified by the second transistor M2, it is inverted. This inverted signal is then inverted and amplified again by the first transistor M1, forming a signal amplified in phase with the input terminal Vin. A portion of the signal at the gate of the second transistor M2 is amplified in phase by the third transistor M3 and output. Finally, at the non-output terminal of the tenth capacitor C10, the input RF signal is output after being superimposed in phase, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown in the arc-shaped curve, the noise signals cancel each other out, forming a signal superposition, which is the effect of noise cancellation.
[0056] like Figures 5-8As shown in the simulation result diagram of the current multiplexing type low noise amplifier using noise feedback cancellation in the embodiment, the low noise amplifier in the embodiment can have a noise coefficient lower than 2 dB in a wide band range and a gain peak higher than 15 dB in a wide frequency band range, and has the characteristics of high gain and low noise. Meanwhile, since the three-stage current multiplexing structure is connected in series from top to bottom, the low noise amplifier also has the characteristic of low power consumption.
[0057] It should be noted that the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or equivalently replace some technical features.
