Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic information, in particular to a power amplifier structure and an integrated power amplifier circuit board using the structure. Background Art
[0002] Power amplifier circuit board design often requires large quantities of large capacitors, especially in pulse amplifier circuit boards, where the instantaneous power is high and the capacitor requirements are even higher. Conventional capacitor placement, where the capacitors are soldered directly onto the amplifier circuit board, takes up a significant amount of space, resulting in a significantly larger amplifier circuit board. Furthermore, the DC power supply circuitry of the amplifier circuit board is integrated onto the board, also occupying some space and increasing the size of the board. Furthermore, since the capacitors are soldered directly onto the board and the power supply circuitry is integrated onto the board, the need for additional large-capacity capacitors necessitates a significantly larger circuit board to accommodate them. This, combined with the additional space occupied by the power supply circuitry, further increases the size of the amplifier circuit board. This larger circuit board increases the spacing between the circuit boards, which in turn increases the size of the splitters and combiners, ultimately resulting in a larger amplifier unit.
[0003] Currently, there are two options for capacitor placement in the layout design of power amplifier circuit boards. One is to invert the capacitors, which takes up a large space on the power amplifier circuit board. To obtain a larger capacitor capacity, the power amplifier circuit board must be designed to be large; and the power supply circuit will also take up a large area.
[0004] The second solution is to stand the capacitor upright, which will relatively reduce the space it occupies, but it will still occupy the space of the power amplifier circuit board, and the height space will increase, which will increase the thickness of the power amplifier unit, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight of the power amplifier unit.

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a common capacitor 3 layout scheme in the current layout design of the power amplifier circuit board 1. The capacitor 3 is inverted. In this way, the capacitor 3 will occupy a large space on the power amplifier circuit board 1 due to the floor space. To obtain a larger capacitor 3 capacity, the power amplifier circuit board 1 must be designed to be larger; and the power supply circuit 21 will also occupy a large area. Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is another layout scheme in the current power amplifier layout design. Putting the capacitor 3 upright will relatively reduce the space occupied, but it will still occupy the space of the power amplifier circuit board 1, and the height space will increase, which will increase the thickness of the power amplifier unit, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight of the power amplifier unit.
[0028] To do this, see Figure 3 This embodiment provides a power amplifier structure, including a power amplifier circuit board 1, on which is mounted a capacitor plate 2 perpendicularly disposed thereto, secured to an edge of the power amplifier circuit board 1. Capacitor plate 2 is provided with a circuit for connecting to capacitors 3 secured to capacitor plate 2. Multiple capacitors 3 are arranged in predetermined positions. This arrangement allows the capacitors 3 and circuit to be separated from the power amplifier circuit board 1, facilitating replacement and removal, while also fully utilizing the space above the components of the power amplifier circuit board 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the power amplifier circuit board 1 is further provided with a metal pad 11 on the side away from the capacitor plate 2. In this embodiment, the pad is preferably made of copper to achieve better heat dissipation. Optionally, the capacitor plate 2 and the power amplifier circuit board 1 are fixed by screws. The capacitor plate 2 is welded with copper foil to achieve circuit laying. The circuit is used to connect the capacitor 3 to provide energy for the power amplifier circuit board 1. Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the power amplifier circuit board 1 is equipped with at least one or two capacitor plates 2. If two capacitor plates 2 are equipped, they are arranged parallel to each other. In this way, the vertical height of the power amplifier components can be limited by only limiting the height of the capacitor plates 2.
[0030] To enable a wider distribution and configuration of capacitors 3, the capacitors 3 of this embodiment are arranged in an array on the capacitor plate 2, with predetermined gaps provided for mounting PCB terminals 22. PCB terminals 22 are soldered to the capacitor plate 2 for connection to the busbar. Threaded holes are provided on the end faces of the PCB terminals 22 facing vertically away from the power amplifier circuit board, facilitating busbar attachment.
[0031] Through the above scheme, this embodiment separates the capacitor 3 and the power supply circuit 21 into a separate circuit board and capacitor plate 2. After the capacitor plate 2 and the power amplifier circuit board 1 are connected by screws, the copper foil is welded together to conduct the circuit, thereby realizing the large-capacity capacitor 3 and supplying power to the power amplifier circuit board 1; a welding type PCB terminal 22 with a threaded hole is designed on the upper part of the capacitor plate 2. When the power amplifier circuit board 1 is arranged, the bus installed on this terminal can be used to power multiple circuit boards.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] See also Figure 4 This embodiment utilizes the power amplifier structures described in Example 1 above, optionally including a positive bus 41 and a negative bus 42. These bus 41 and negative bus 42 are used to secure multiple power amplifier structures. In this embodiment, the power amplifier structures are sequentially connected in a linear fashion, with the positive bus 41 secured to the PCB terminal 22 and the negative bus 42 secured to the power amplifier circuit board 1. This embodiment does not limit the number of power amplifier structures.
[0034] With this solution, the capacitor plate 2 is welded to the PCB terminal block at the power supply circuit 21, and the entire power amplifier circuit board 1 is powered via a busbar, which is directly fixed with screws, eliminating the need for wiring and soldering. Optionally, the capacitor plate 2 and the power amplifier circuit board 1 are fixed using an L-shaped bracket and screws, and then soldered to the corresponding copper foil positions after fixation to achieve circuit conduction; the capacitor plates 2 are placed symmetrically on both sides of the power amplifier circuit board 1, further increasing the capacity of the capacitors 3 so that the bottom row of capacitors 3 on the capacitor plate 2 avoids the components on the power amplifier circuit board 1, making full use of the longitudinal space on the top of the power amplifier circuit board 1. With the design of this embodiment, the size of the power amplifier circuit board 1 will be much smaller.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment separates the capacitor 3 and the power supply circuit 21 from the power amplifier circuit board 1, greatly reducing the space occupied by the large-capacity capacitor 3 on the power amplifier circuit board 1 and reducing the size of the power amplifier circuit board 1; after the capacitor plate 2 and the power amplifier circuit board 1 are separated, any damaged components can be replaced separately, reducing after-sales costs; after the size of the power amplifier circuit board 1 is reduced, the port spacing and size of the accompanying power divider and synthesizer are reduced, and the size of the entire power amplifier unit is reduced, while greatly improving space utilization; the bus is directly fixed with screws for power supply, and no wiring and welding are required, which is neater and saves more labor.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims. Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that improvements and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications shall also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
