[0022] In order to facilitate the description of the utility model concept of the application, the radio frequency power bias circuit is briefly described below.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a traditional radio frequency power bias circuit, Figure 1In the prior art, the radio frequency bias power supply VGG supplies power to the radio frequency power amplifier through a resistor and is grounded through an inductor. Figure 1 The circuit structure shown in the prior art has a large insertion loss at a working frequency in a 1-20 GHz frequency band range, and has a resonance at a working frequency of 18 GHz. The structure cannot be optimized by debugging to solve the problem, so that the noise cannot be completely filtered out at the working frequency of 18 GHz, and the noise figure of the power amplifier is affected.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The third conventional radio frequency power supply bias circuit is shown in FIG. 3. Figure 2 In the prior art, the radio frequency bias power supply VGG supplies power to the radio frequency power amplifier through a resistor and is grounded through an inductor. Figure 2 The circuit structure shown in the prior art has a large insertion loss at a working frequency in a 1-20 GHz frequency band range, and has a resonance at a working frequency of 18 GHz. The structure cannot be optimized by debugging to solve the problem, so that the noise cannot be completely filtered out at the working frequency of 18 GHz, and the noise figure of the power amplifier is affected.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The third conventional radio frequency power supply bias circuit is shown in FIG. 3. Figure 3 In the prior art, the radio frequency bias power supply VGG supplies power to the radio frequency power amplifier through a resistor and is grounded through an inductor. Figure 3 The radio frequency power supply bias circuit in the prior art has a filtering effect on most frequency bands in a 1-20 GHz frequency band range, but the noise in the resonance point frequency band cannot be filtered out, and the application of the radio frequency power amplifier will affect the noise figure of the corresponding frequency band.

[0026] In view of this, the present application provides a low-noise radio frequency power amplifier circuit and a radio frequency power supply bias circuit. In the radio frequency power supply bias circuit, an inductor and a capacitor are connected in parallel, and an inductor and a capacitor are connected in series with the parallel combination. This can significantly improve the filtering frequency band range, effectively reduce the in-band insertion loss in a 1-20 GHz frequency band range, and effectively filter out the noise in the 1-20 GHz frequency band, suppress the power spike pulse, effectively improve the stability of the power supply, and improve the noise figure of the radio frequency power amplifier.

[0027] For the convenience of understanding, the low-noise radio frequency power supply bias circuit will be described first.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 4The application provides a low-noise coefficient radio frequency power bias circuit, which comprises a first inductor L1, a second inductor L2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2 and a fifth non-polar capacitor C5. One end of the first resistor R1 is used for connecting the input end of a radio frequency power amplifier U, and the other end is used for connecting a radio frequency bias power supply VGG. One end of the first inductor L1 is used for connecting the radio frequency bias power supply VGG, and the other end is used for connecting one end of the second inductor L2 and one end of the second resistor R2 respectively. The other end of the second inductor L2 and the other end of the second resistor R2 are both used for connecting the ground through the fifth non-polar capacitor C5.

[0029] The applicant finds in research that for the parallel second resistor R2 and the second inductor L2, when the power supply is suddenly powered on, due to the instability of the power supply itself, the power supply will generate a large voltage and a large current. According to the law of electromagnetic induction, the second inductor L2 will generate a reverse induced electromotive force E (E=-α*(ΔI / Δt), wherein α represents the self-induction coefficient of the second inductor L2, Δt represents the instantaneous time difference, and ΔI represents the instantaneous current difference under the instantaneous time difference Δt) due to the self-induction phenomenon. The reverse induced electromotive force E will offset the sudden change of the current. The parallel second resistor R2 can provide a discharge path for the current in the inductor, and release the inductive voltage at both ends of the inductor in the form of heat.

[0030] Since the second resistor R2 in parallel with the second inductor L2 is a pure resistor, the second inductor L2 alone cannot provide filtering effect, and therefore the first inductor L1 and the fifth non-polar capacitor C5 in series are added to form a band-pass filter. The equivalent circuit of the circuit composed of the first inductor L1, the second inductor L2, the second resistor R2 and the fifth non-polar capacitor C5 can be referred to Figure 5 , wherein the first inductor L1 can be equivalent to a parallel inductor L33 and a non-polar capacitor C33, the second inductor L2 can be equivalent to a series inductor L22 and a non-polar capacitor C22, and the fifth non-polar capacitor can be equivalent to a parallel inductor L11 and a non-polar capacitor C11.

[0031] The independent second inductor L2 can only form a low-pass filter of a specific frequency, the fifth non-polar capacitor C5 is capacitive, and the impedance of the first inductor L1 is inductive. According to , wherein, inductance, C represents capacitance, then the first inductance L1 at 20GHz and the fifth non-polar capacitance C5 at 1GHz can be calculated to form a band-pass filter of 1-20GHz. Therefore, the fine tuning of the second inductance L2 can be matched, so as to fine tune the inductance L22 and the capacitance C22, reach the standing wave of 1GHz to 20GHz edge, and thus achieve the effect of expanding the filter bandwidth. Therefore, the radio frequency power supply bias circuit in the embodiment of the application can obviously improve the filter frequency range, and the in-band insertion loss is less than 1dB in the 1-20GHz frequency range, which can effectively filter out the noise of 1-20GHz, suppress the power peak pulse, effectively improve the stability of the power supply, and greatly improve the noise coefficient of the radio frequency power amplifier.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 6 The radio frequency power amplification circuit with low noise coefficient provided in the embodiment of the application comprises a radio frequency power amplifier U and a matching circuit thereof. The matching circuit comprises a radio frequency signal input matching circuit 01, a radio frequency power supply bias circuit 02, a working voltage input matching circuit 03, and a radio frequency signal output matching circuit.

[0033] The radio frequency power supply bias circuit 02 comprises a first inductance L1, a second inductance L2, a first resistance R1, a second resistance R2, and a fifth non-polar capacitance C5. One end of the first resistance R1 is connected to the input end of the radio frequency power amplifier U, and the other end is connected to the radio frequency bias power supply VGG. One end of the first inductance L1 is connected to the radio frequency bias power supply VGG, and the other end is connected to one end of the second inductance L2 and one end of the second resistance R2, respectively. The other end of the second inductance L2 and the other end of the second resistance R2 are both connected to the ground through the fifth non-polar capacitance C5.

[0034] The radio frequency power amplification circuit in the embodiment of the application can obviously improve the filter frequency range, and the in-band insertion loss is less than 1dB in the 1-20GHz frequency range, which can effectively filter out the noise of 1-20GHz, suppress the power peak pulse, effectively improve the stability of the power supply, and greatly improve the noise coefficient of the radio frequency power amplifier.
