The power amplifier 100 in the prior art mainly includes an input matching module 101, a driver stage module 102, an interstage matching module 103, an amplification stage module 104, an output matching module 105 connected in sequence, and a driver stage bias module 106 and an amplification stage bias module 107 connected to the driver stage module 102 and the amplification stage module 104, respectively. At the same time, the power amplifier 100 also has an input resistor R1 connected to the input terminal of the input matching module 101 and an output resistor R2 connected to the output terminal of the output matching module 105.

[0004] With the development of communication protocols, the debugging bandwidth of power amplifier 100 has increased from 40MHz to 100MHz. It mainly considers the fundamental frequency impedance. Therefore, the linearity under large bandwidth modulation signals will deteriorate sharply due to the memory effect of power amplifier 100.

[0005] In order to improve the linearity of power amplifier 100 under wide bandwidth modulation signals, the common method in the prior art is to increase the saturation power of power amplifier 100. Although this method can improve the linearity of power amplifier 100 under wide bandwidth modulation signals, it will also bring about the problem of low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase "in an embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily all directed to the same embodiments. Those of skill in the art will recognize, upon careful reading of the specification, that embodiments described herein can be readily combined with other embodiments.

[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] Example 1

[0064] This invention provides a bias circuit 200, combined with Figure 2 , Figures 7-10 As shown, it includes a first active device H1, a second active device H2, a first capacitor C1, a third active device H3, a second capacitor C2, and a feedback circuit 201.

[0065] The input terminal of the first active device H1 is used to connect to the power supply.

[0066] The input terminal of the second active device H2 is connected to the first output terminal of the first active device H1, and the first output terminal of the second active device H2 is grounded.

[0067] The first terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the second output terminal of the first active device H1, and the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 is grounded.

[0068] The first input terminal of the third active device H3 is connected to the first terminal of the first capacitor C1, the second input terminal of the third active device H3 is used to connect to the power supply voltage VBAT, and the output terminal of the third active device H3 is used to output the bias signal.

[0069] The first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the second output terminal of the second active device H2, and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is grounded.

[0070] The input terminal of the feedback circuit 201 is connected to the first terminal of the second capacitor C2, and the output terminal of the feedback circuit 201 is connected to the output terminal of the third active device H3. The feedback circuit 201 is used to reduce the impedance of the bias circuit 200.

[0071] When an external power supply inputs a current Iin to the bias circuit 200, i.e., the first active device H1 is used to input the current Iin, the output bias signal is the bias current Iout, i.e., the output terminal of the third active device H3 is used to output the bias current Iout; when an external power supply inputs a voltage Vin to the bias circuit 200, i.e., the first active device H1 is used to input the voltage Vin, the output bias signal is the bias voltage Vout, i.e., the output terminal of the third active device H3 is used to output the bias voltage Vout.

[0072] In the bias circuit 200 of the embodiment, the first active device H1, the second active device H2 and the third active device H3 form a current mirror circuit for outputting or providing a stable bias current Iout or bias voltage Vout according to the accessed power supply; the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 serve as radio frequency filtering capacitors for providing a radio frequency ground path so that the radio frequency signal does not affect the first active device H1 and the second active device H2 of the direct current bias to stabilize the direct current operating point; the existence of the feedback circuit 201 can reduce the impedance of the bias circuit 200, i.e. the baseband impedance and harmonic impedance of the bias circuit 200, so that when the bias circuit 200 is applied to a power amplifier circuit, the baseband impedance and harmonic impedance of the bias signal input end of the drive stage circuit and the power stage circuit can be reduced, thereby improving the linearity of the power amplifier circuit under a large bandwidth modulation signal and without reducing the efficiency of the power amplifier circuit.

[0073] The impedance relationship of the bias circuit 200 in the embodiment is as follows:

[0074] ;

[0075] Among them, Z Z is the impedance of the bias circuit 200; g m2 gm2 is the transconductance of the second active device H2; ω ω is the angular frequency; C be2 Cbe2 is the be junction parasitic capacitance of the second active device H2, and the be junction is the junction between the base and the emitter of the corresponding transistor; g m3 gm3 is the transconductance of the third active device H3; C be3 Cbe3 is the be junction parasitic capacitance of the third active device H3; β A is the current amplification factor of the second active device H2; C 1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1.

[0076] If only the baseband impedance is considered, the baseband impedance frequency is relatively low, so some parameters of the parasitic capacitance can be removed, and the above impedance relationship can be simplified as:

[0077] ;

[0078] Through the derivation of the simplified impedance relationship, it can be obtained that the baseband impedance is very low and close to short circuit.

[0079] For example, Figure 10As shown in the figure, the horizontal coordinate is the frequency of 10.00 MHz to 100.00 MHz, and the vertical coordinate is the baseband impedance of the bias circuit 200; the frequency freq of the m1 point is 10.00 MHz, R.S(1,1) is 0.55 / 178.578; the baseband impedance is 6.332+j0.610.

[0080] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first active device H1 is a first triode, the second active device H2 is a second triode, and the third active device H3 is a third triode. Figure 2

[0088] The feedback circuit 201 is selected according to different frequency bands and required harmonic impedances, and any one of the first alternative embodiment, the second alternative embodiment, the third alternative embodiment and the fourth alternative embodiment can be selected.

[0089] Compared with the prior art, the bias circuit 200 in the application is designed by the first active device H1, the second active device H2, the first capacitor C1, the third active device H3, the second capacitor C2 and the feedback circuit 201, and the connection mode of each device is limited, and the feedback circuit 201 is also limited to reduce the impedance of the bias circuit 200.
