TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of radio frequency integrated circuit, in particular to a wideband vector modulation phase shifter system based on phase compensation technology, which is suitable for phased array radar system, wireless millimeter wave communication and other radio frequency signal processing scenarios. BACKGROUND
[0002] In modern wireless systems such as phased array radar and millimeter wave communication, phase shifters are the core modules for beamforming and amplitude-phase modulation. Traditional vector modulation phase shifters mostly use a variable gain architecture based on current scaling, which changes the I / Q signal weight by adjusting the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) branch bias current. However, there are the following problems:
[0003] 1. Bias current variation causes transistor operating point drift, resulting in severe amplitude / phase distortion;
[0004] 2. Parasitic capacitance effect is intensified in small current state, and phase consistency changes significantly with gain;
[0005] 3. Input impedance fluctuates significantly during gain adjustment, affecting the accuracy of quadrature signal synthesis.
[0006] 4. Existing phase compensation techniques can reduce phase deviation, but will compress the gain adjustment range.
[0007] 5. The output impedance of the variable gain amplifier (VGA) in the traditional architecture changes with gain, causing load effect.
[0008] In recent years, although there have been improved schemes based on current steering technology, there are still significant shortcomings in maintaining constant input impedance, achieving full phase quadrant operation, and phase consistency in wide dynamic range. The present application proposes innovative system architecture and module design to improve the performance of wideband (7-17 GHz) phase shifter systems on a 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS process platform.

The design adopts an all-pass RLC filter to realize this. The orthogonal filter is designed to work at a center frequency of 12 GHz, and the voltage transmission coefficient is about 3 dB. Because the bandwidth of the filter is determined by the quality factor of the integral inductor, a low-Q inductor is used in this design to achieve a wide working frequency band. At the same time, the inductance is determined by the input impedance matching to maximize the insertion loss. The actual measurement shows that the phase imbalance between the generated orthogonal vectors I+ and Q+ and I- and Q- is less than 2°, and the amplitude imbalance is less than 0.5 dB in the 12 GHz frequency band.

Optimize R deg The resistance value can be increased to 120Ω to minimize the phase error to less than 2.5°.
