Abstract
Description

[0002] With the continuous development of Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) technology, the demand for throughput in Wi-Fi communication is increasing. Increasing signal bandwidth can effectively improve data throughput. Wi-Fi 7 technology has expanded its frequency band from 5.1GHz to 7.125GHz, thus presenting a matching challenge for the ultra-wide bandwidth of 2GHz. For example, the impedance difference between 5.1GHz and 7.125GHz is significant, making it difficult for conventional structures to achieve 50Ω matching across the entire frequency band, resulting in band edge mismatch; and the increased influence of distributed parameters within the ultra-wide frequency band leads to deterioration in the performance of the matching network.
[0003] Related technologies often employ multi-stage segmented matching or adjustable component compensation, typically including a first inductor, a second inductor, and a third inductor. The first inductor is connected to the RF input, and the first inductor is coupled to the second and third inductors to output a differential matching signal. The first metal layer of the first inductor is spaced apart from the metal layers of the second and third inductors, and all three inductors have rectangular winding structures.
