Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the detailed description.
The power amplifier chip output matching circuit comprises a substrate, an active area 1, a radio frequency output matching circuit 2 and an out-of-band suppression circuit 3, wherein the active area 1, the radio frequency output matching circuit 2 and the out-of-band suppression circuit 3 are all arranged on the substrate, and the out-of-band suppression circuit 3 and the radio frequency output matching circuit 2 share a microstrip line and a parallel capacitor circuit 32 (comprising a third microstrip MSL3, a sixth microstrip MSL6 and a second capacitor C2); the out-of-band suppression circuit 3 forms a parallel resonance circuit, which comprises a serial capacitance and connection microstrip circuit 31, a seventh microstrip, a microstrip line and parallel capacitance circuit 32, wherein the serial capacitance and connection microstrip circuit 31 is connected with the seventh microstrip in parallel, and the seventh microstrip is connected with the microstrip line and parallel capacitance circuit 32 in series; as shown in fig. 1.
The substrate is made of silicon carbide, silicon, sapphire or diamond.
The first Capacitor adopts MIM Capacitor (Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitor), or microstrip cross Capacitor, or slot coupling Capacitor, or microstrip broadside coupling Capacitor.
A parallel resonance circuit is formed by the fourth microstrip MSL4, the fifth microstrip MSL5, the first capacitor C1, the third microstrip MSL3, the sixth microstrip MSL6 and the second capacitor C2, and out-of-band gain suppression is achieved; the change of the out-of-band rejection frequency band is realized by adjusting the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1; the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is reduced, and the out-of-band rejection frequency band is changed towards the high frequency direction; the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 increases, and the out-of-band rejection band changes toward low frequencies. The seventh microstrip MSL7 is a part of the drain-biased microstrip and is implemented to provide dc power to the die of the active region 1, while having the inductance characteristic of the drain-biased microstrip to match the capacitance characteristic of the die.
The invention realizes the suppression of different out-of-band frequency bands by connecting one or more groups of series capacitors in parallel and connecting the microstrip circuit 31.
The first capacitor C1 is implemented in different forms, such as an MIM capacitor, a microstrip cross capacitor, a slot coupling capacitor, a microstrip broadside coupling capacitor, and the like.
The existing out-of-band gain suppression method is realized by adding an LC branch or a filter structure at the output end of a chip, but the invention introduces a method of a series capacitor and a connecting microstrip circuit 31, and the series capacitor and the connecting microstrip circuit 31 thereof are in parallel connection with a power amplifier drain bias microstrip (comprising a third microstrip MSL3, a sixth microstrip MSL6 and a seventh microstrip MSL 7). Under the condition of not increasing the chip size of the power amplifier, the out-of-band rejection function is integrated, and the influence or interference of the transmission power of the power amplifier on an out-of-band frequency band is reduced; the introduced output matching circuit has small loss, so that the in-band output power and efficiency of the power amplifier are less affected, and the noise degradation of the input end of the power amplifier is not caused, as shown in fig. 2.
In order to verify the effectiveness of the low-loss output matching chip circuit with the out-of-band rejection function, a simulation experiment is carried out, and the design parameters are as follows: the working frequency is 25-27GHz, the out-of-band rejection frequency is 22.5-23.5GHz, and the gain rejection degree is more than or equal to 10dB (the in-band highest gain is 28dB, and the out-of-band highest gain is 18 dB). The chip was realized using 0.15um gaasphmemt process, as shown in fig. 4.
Fig. 4(a) is a chip diagram of the power amplifier chip output matching circuit of the present invention, fig. 4 (b) is a power amplifier chip without an out-of-band suppression circuit, and the virtual coil is different between the two power amplifier chips; fig. 4 (c) is a partially enlarged view of fig. 4 (a).
The comparison results are shown in fig. 2, and effective gain suppression is achieved for out-of-band suppression frequencies. As can be seen from the comparison result of the output matching loss of the out-of-band rejection circuit in fig. 3, in the 25-27GHz working band, the out-of-band gain rejection circuit only increases the loss of 0.07dB compared with the out-of-band rejection circuit, and realizes the low-loss out-of-band rejection function.
Fig. 5 shows a power amplifier chip with a suppression function outside a high frequency band according to the present invention, which has a function of suppressing a second harmonic. The circuit of the invention has the advantages of high out-of-band gain suppression and comparison effect with the gain of a non-out-of-band suppression circuit, and as shown in fig. 6, the low-loss out-of-band suppression function is realized in a 51-52GHz working frequency band.
