Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of integrated circuits, and particularly relates to a high-linearity power amplifier.
Background
After the 21 st century, the contradiction between energy demand and supply becomes more and more prominent, and every industry all over the world strives to achieve high-efficiency utilization of energy, which puts high requirements on wireless communication integrated circuit systems and covers a series of harsher indexes such as low voltage, low power consumption, high performance, light weight, small volume and the like. At present, mobile communication devices are all designed by digital-analog hybrid integrated circuits, i.e. the front-end radio frequency receiving circuit part is an analog system, and the part behind the back-end a/D converter is a digital system. Due to the requirements of low voltage, low power consumption and small size, the single-chip integration of the front-end analog rf circuit and the back-end digital circuit is becoming the mainstream trend. The working voltage and power consumption of the present digital system can be made very low, while the low voltage of the digital circuit is not suitable for the analog rf circuit to work, because when the analog rf circuit and the back-end digital circuit share the same voltage, the dynamic range, linearity, working frequency and gain of the rf circuit will be limited by the voltage drop. The Power Amplifier (PA) is located at the final stage of the transmitter, and amplifies the modulated signal to a certain power value, and sends the amplified signal to the antenna for transmission, so that the relevant receiver can receive satisfactory signal level, and meanwhile, the normal operation of other adjacent wireless communication systems is not interfered. The power amplifier determines the quality of the output signal, and with the continuous development of communication systems, the power amplifier has higher and higher requirements on linearity, so that the integrity of a transmitted signal is ensured.
The current techniques for improving the linearity of the power amplifier mainly include digital predistortion and envelope injection. The digital predistortion technique is the most common linearity improvement technique in use today, but its feedback loop causes area and power loss; envelope injection techniques can improve the linearity of a power amplifier over a sufficiently wide bandwidth, but the injected signal cannot be accurately controlled and can artificially distort the signal. In the design of a broadband power amplifier, the push-pull amplifier is used as a common structure, so that the chip area and the power consumption of the power amplifier can be saved. However, the use of the push-pull amplifier has a problem that the linearity of the push-pull power amplifier is low when a large signal is used.

Similarly, the second PMOS transistor PM2 may be biased in the linear region by controlling the magnitudes of the resistance values of the fourth PMOS transistor PM4, the fourth NMOS transistor NM4, and the second resistor R2.
Output AC leakage current i of the inventive circuitdsAfter expansion by taylor series, as shown in formula (1):
wherein Vgs is input DC signal swing, Ids is output DC leakage current, gmkThe derivative of the order k-1, gm, of the transconductance of the circuitkThe calculation method of (2) is shown in formula (3):
gmk=gmk-N+gmk-P(3)
wherein, gmk_NIs the transconductance sum, gm, of a first NMOS transistor NM1 and a second NMOS transistor NM2 in the circuitk_PIs the transconductance sum of the first PMOS transistor PM1 and the second PMOS transistor PM2 in the circuit.
The power amplifier is a nonlinear device, and in order to improve the linearity of the power amplifier, the harmonic component of the output of the power amplifier, namely the k-1 order derivative of the transconductance of the circuit, is reduced.
Therefore, it can be known from equations (1), (2) and (3) that the absolute values of the first and second derivatives of the transconductance in equation (1) need to be close to 0 if the linearity of the circuit is to be improved.
