Description

Novel combined broadband Doherty power amplifier and design method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of power amplifiers, and relates to a novel combined broadband Doherty power amplifier and a design method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of communication technology, China formally enters the 5G commercial era. In the 5G era, a very important technical feature is the ability to connect potentially billions of everything in computation with high bandwidth, low latency. The fifth generation mobile communication also needs to satisfy high mobility, seamless roaming, and seamless coverage. In principle, it is difficult to achieve broadband high-speed data rates and high mobility, which can be very much band dependent. This puts higher demands on the power amplifier.
The power amplifier is one of the most important devices in the transmitter of the wireless communication system, and the indexes of linearity, efficiency, bandwidth, stability and the like play a key role. At present, the Doherty power amplifier is the mainstream form of the power amplifier used in the wireless communication at present because the Doherty power amplifier can efficiently amplify the modulated signal and has low cost.
However, the quarter-impedance transformation line is used in the load modulation network of the conventional Doherty power amplifier for many times, so that the Doherty power amplifier can only work normally in a narrow bandwidth, and the narrow-band characteristic is not suitable for the current wireless communication system, so that designing a wideband Doherty power amplifier suitable for the 5G frequency band becomes a hotspot of research in academia and industry.
There are many factors that limit the bandwidth in the Doherty power amplifier structure, such as a power divider, a compensation line, a matching circuit of the main and auxiliary power amplifiers, and a load modulation network, which all have the function of limiting the bandwidth. In the prior art, the following method is generally adopted to increase the bandwidth of the Doherty amplifier: (1) the bandwidth is increased by using a load modulation network for reducing the impedance transformation ratio of the quarter wavelength, but the quarter wavelength line after the combination point is still the problem of limiting the bandwidth. (2) The length of the compensation wire at the output end of the main and auxiliary power amplifiers is effectively shortened by adopting a double-impedance matching method. However, the requirement of the matching circuit of the main and auxiliary power amplifiers caused by the dual-impedance matching method is extremely high.
Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art, it is necessary to develop and improve a solution to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art.

the carrier power amplifying circuit comprises a carrier input matching circuit 31, a carrier power amplifier 41 and a carrier output matching circuit 51 which are sequentially connected in series, wherein the carrier output matching circuit 51 is connected with the load modulation network 60; the peak power amplifying circuit comprises a peak input matching circuit 32, a peak power amplifier 42 and a peak output matching circuit 52 which are sequentially connected in series;
the load modulation network 60 comprises a first impedance transformer T1 of 1/4 wavelength and a peak compensation line T2; the carrier amplifying circuit is connected with a peak value compensation line T2 in the peak value amplifying circuit through a first impedance converter T1, and outputs power to a load through a rear matching network 70.
Detailed description of the preferred embodiments
The wilkinson power divider 10 is of an equal division type.
The carrier power amplifier 41 is a class AB power amplifier and the peak power amplifier 42 is a class C power amplifier.
The impedance of the first impedance transformer T1 is 43.3 Ω or 50 Ω.
The impedance of the peak compensation line T2 is 75 Ω or 50 Ω.
The back matching network 70 comprises a multi-stage LC configuration high-low impedance converter.
A 50 Ω phase compensation line 20 is provided between the wilkinson power divider 10 and the peak power amplifier circuit.
The carrier power amplifier 41 and the peak power amplifier 42 are implemented using transistors.
The impedance transformation ratio of the quarter-wavelength first impedance transformer T1 in the load modulation network 60 is a major factor limiting the bandwidth of the Doherty power amplifier, and the approximate expression of the operating bandwidth of the quarter-wavelength transmission line is:
Figure BDA0002344693150000061
wherein, Δ f/f0Representing the relative bandwidth of a quarter-wavelength transmission line; gamma-shapedmIs the maximum acceptable reflection coefficient; zinAnd ZLRepresenting the impedance values of the input and output two ports of the quarter-wave transmission line; according to the formula (1), when Z isinAnd ZLThe closer the impedance value of (a), i.e., the smaller the impedance transformation ratio of the quarter-wavelength impedance transformation line, the wider the operating bandwidth thereof. Therefore, to increase Δ f/f0By decreasing ZinAnd ZLI.e. the impedance transformation ratio of the reduced quarter-wave transmission line. Referring to fig. 2, the T1 and T3 impedances of the quarter-wave lines in the prior art Doherty power amplifier load modulation network 60 are 50 Ω and 35.3 Ω, respectively, and the impedance transformation ratio is 4:1 (from 100 Ω to 25 Ω).
Therefore, the applicant applies the above theoretical analysis to the circuit design, and improves the load modulation network 60 of the Doherty power amplifier in the prior art, referring to fig. 3, by using the first impedance transformer T1 of a quarter wavelength of 43.3 Ω at the output of the carrier power amplifier 41, using the peak compensation line T2 at the output of the peak power amplifier 42, transforming the load impedance of 50 Ω to 75 Ω, and using the simplified real-frequency optimized post-matching network 70 at the combining end instead of the quarter wavelength line T3 in the prior art, thereby further expanding the bandwidth.
The impedance transformation before and after the transmission line can be calculated according to the formula (2), so that the impedance transformation of each structure of the Doherty power amplifier when low-power and high-power signals are input is analyzed, and the purpose of controlling the current in the main path and the auxiliary path (carrier and peak value) in the active load traction theory is realized.

Z in the formula (2)inRepresenting the input impedance of the transmission line; zLRepresenting the output impedance of the transmission line; z0Characterizing transmission linesβ l represents the electrical length of the transmission line.
When a low-power signal is input, the peak power amplifier 42 is in a class C state, and the signal strength is not enough to enable the peak power amplifier 42 to work, so that the peak power amplifier 42 is cut off and in a high-impedance state; at this time, the carrier power amplifier 41 operating in class AB operates, and since the 1/4 wavelength conversion line changes the load to a load impedance 1.5 times, that is, Z1 is 75 Ω, the load voltage increases, so that the carrier power amplifier 41 enters a pre-saturation state in advance, and the efficiency is improved.
When a high-power signal is input, the peak power amplifier 42 is turned on, an active modulation effect occurs, at this time, the equivalent load of the carrier power amplifier 41 decreases from the optimal impedance 75 Ω of 1.5 times to the optimal impedance 50 Ω, at this time, the voltage of the carrier power amplifier 41 is kept in a pre-saturation state under the control of the peak power amplifier 42, and the load of the peak power amplifier 42 also changes from an open circuit state to the optimal load impedance 50 Ω. When the peak power amplifier 42 is saturated, the currents of the carrier power amplifier 41 and the peak power amplifier 42 reach the maximum value, the load impedance of the main circuit (the carrier power amplifying circuit) is 37.5 Ω, the load impedance of the auxiliary circuit (the peak power amplifying circuit) is 75 Ω, the impedance value of the combining point is 25 Ω, the two paths of power are combined, and the output reaches the maximum value.
By analysis, the first impedance transformer T1 of the quarter-wave line in the load modulation network 60 has an impedance transformation ratio of 3:1 (from 75 Ω to 25 Ω), reducing ZinAnd ZLThus extending the operating bandwidth of the Doherty power amplifier.
The input/output matching networks of the carrier power amplifier 41 and the peak power amplifier 42 and the post-matching network 70 are circuit structures designed and optimized by a simplified real frequency method, and here, the broadband matching of the post-matching network 70 is taken as an example.
The applicant carried out a wideband design of the above five-part matching circuit using a simplified real frequency method (SRFT) that optimizes the Transmission Power Gain (TPG) by building a matching network with reference to the scattering parameters (S-parameters) in fig. 4, which is expressed as:

e in the formula (3)LRepresenting the load ZLS parameter network of (1).
The parameter TPG reflects the power transmission degree of the matching circuit, and the maximum value is 1; when the value of TPG is 1, the matching circuit is completely matched, a lossless network is established, and the power can be transmitted to the load by 100 percent; conversely, the smaller the TPG, the less the matching circuit is completely matched, and the loss is caused.
After the simplified real-frequency method is used for optimization, a circuit with an LC series-parallel structure can be obtained, and since the circuit is composed of discrete components, the circuit needs to be converted into a microstrip line form, and the physical length of the microstrip line is calculated according to the following formula:

The simulation result shows that the matching network 70 has a good broadband matching effect.
And carrying out efficiency simulation in ADS software.
Referring to fig. 6, in the frequency band range of 2.8GHz to 3.8GHz, the saturation drain efficiency of the wideband Doherty power amplifier of the novel combiner is 60% to 62%, and the 6dB output back-off efficiency is 44% to 46%.
The circuit simulation analysis shows that the broadband effect is realized by the combination improvement of the load modulation network 60 and the rear matching network 70, and the Doherty power amplifier meets the frequency requirement of the power amplifier of the current 5G communication (3.3 GHz-3.6 GHz) base station.
