Detailed Description
It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
At present, in the related technical field, a special filter needs to be customized for one ADC radio frequency direct sampling design, the customization cost is high, the flexibility is poor, and the universality and the elasticity of an ADC radio frequency direct sampling scheme are limited.
To address this issue, various embodiments of the rf direct sampling ADC anti-aliasing tunable filter of the present invention are presented. The radio frequency direct sampling ADC anti-aliasing tunable filter provided by the invention is provided with the tunable filter, the radio frequency variable gain amplifier and the ADC input buffer, each stage in the filter with the Chebyshev II structure adopts an active LC filter architecture, each stage changes the zero point and the pole of the corresponding filter by changing the value of LC, the requirement of 2GHz sampling high-speed ADC anti-aliasing application is met, meanwhile, the filter can be flexibly adapted to various sampling frequencies and sampling bandwidths, and the purposes of flexibility, universality and power consumption optimization are achieved.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a radio frequency direct-sampling ADC anti-aliasing tunable filter, and referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the radio frequency direct-sampling ADC anti-aliasing tunable filter according to the present invention.
In this embodiment, the rf direct sampling ADC anti-aliasing tunable filter includes a tunable filter, a radio frequency Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA), and an ADC INPUT BUFFER (INPUT BUFFER). The output of the tunable filter is connected with the input of the radio frequency variable gain amplifier, and the output of the radio frequency variable gain amplifier is connected with the ADC input buffer. In the embodiment, the ADC input buffer is directly connected with the sample-and-hold circuit of the high-speed ADC, so that an input buffer stage in the ADC can be omitted.
In this embodiment, in order to satisfy the requirement of direct sampling of the second nyquist zone signal by the 2Gsps sampling frequency ADC, the bandwidth tunable filter adopts a filter of a six-stage chebyshev II structure. Different filter structures may be used for different design requirements.
An important improvement point of the present embodiment is an input front-end structure of an ADC with anti-aliasing, high linearity and wide bandwidth, and in the present embodiment, specifically, the input signal bandwidth is tunable.
In order to realize tunable bandwidth, the present embodiment uses an active LC filter architecture for each stage of chebyshev filter, as shown in fig. 2, each stage of the six-stage chebyshev ii tunable filter uses the same architecture as in fig. 2, each stage changes the zero and the pole of the corresponding filter by changing the value of LC, and the six stages together form a band pass filter.
The principle of realizing the tunable mode is to pass signals through a tunable active filter (see fig. 4) consisting of an LC Tank formed by an inductance Q value enhancing circuit (see fig. 3) and a variable capacitor.
The capacitor in the LC Tank adopts an MOS active capacitor, the equivalent capacitance value is changed by changing the grid voltage of an MOS tube, and the selection of multiple groups of capacitance values is realized by matching with a passive MOM or MIM capacitor structure.
The anti-aliasing filter outputs a large signal close to-1 dBFS to the ADC, which generally requires OIP3 > 30dBm and OP-1dB > 15dBm, which puts high demands on filter linearity. In order to reduce the nonlinearity of the link, the tunable filter is arranged at the forefront so as to reduce the linearity requirement of the active filter and process small signals as much as possible. Because a large number of LC structures are arranged in the tunable filter structure in the embodiment, the small signal can avoid nonlinear distortion and large signal self-excitation risks. The latter stage is followed by a variable gain amplifier to adjust the link gain. The variable gain amplifier is a general circuit, and the present invention is not described in detail.
The last stage is the input buffer of the high-speed ADC. The input buffer bandwidth directly affects the performance and working sampling bandwidth of the overall ADC. A conventional input buffer generally uses a single NMOS to buffer an input signal in the form of a Source Follower (SF), and a level-shifter (level-shifter) is generally used at an input end to change the drain-Source voltage of the SF with the input signal in order to reduce the variation of the drain-Source voltage difference (Vds) of the SF with the input signal, so that the Vds of the SF is kept as constant as possible. However, the structure can limit the sampling working bandwidth and driving capability of the ADC, limit the full-scale quantization capability of the ADC and influence the radio frequency direct sampling performance.
In order to increase the operating bandwidth, the present embodiment adopts N-transistor MN1 and P-transistor MP1 dual SF, and buffers the input signal in the form of class-AB, which has the advantages of low static power consumption and stronger driving capability. See figure 5. The input buffer is divided into two parts, and a post-stage push Core1 amplifying circuit is driven by a first-stage Core 0 pre-amplifying circuit, so that the only difference between Core 0 and Core1 is that the size of Core1 is K times of Core 0, and the Core 0 part only simulates the static working state of the Core1 part and does not need large driving capability. The four capacitors in the figure are identical in size and mainly function to provide an alternating current path for coupling an input alternating current signal to the grid end of the Core1 part MOS tube, and simultaneously, the other function of the capacitors is to form RC filtering with the four resistors in the figure respectively so that the grid end of the Core 0 part MOS tube is not influenced by the input alternating current signal as much as possible. The input buffer bandwidth and dynamic range are optimized by adjusting the current of core 1.
As shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the anti-aliasing filter of the invention can realize the medium frequency of 1.5GHz, the adjustable bandwidth of 500MHz to 1GHz, the rejection degree of the filter is more than 40dB, the link gain is more than 15dB, the gain adjusting range is more than 10dB, the output signal P-1dB is more than 15dBm, the anti-aliasing application requirement of the 2GHz sampling high-speed ADC is met, meanwhile, the anti-aliasing filter can flexibly adapt to various sampling frequencies and sampling bandwidths, and the flexible universality and the power consumption optimization are realized.
The embodiment provides a radio frequency direct sampling ADC anti-aliasing tunable filter, which adopts an active LC filter architecture by setting a tunable filter, a radio frequency variable gain amplifier and an ADC input buffer and changes the zero point and the pole of a corresponding filter by changing the value of LC, thereby meeting the anti-aliasing application requirement of a 2GHz sampling high-speed ADC, flexibly adapting to various sampling frequencies and sampling bandwidths and realizing flexibility, universality and power consumption optimization.
The above are only preferred embodiments of the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and all equivalent structures or equivalent processes performed by the present specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are also included in the scope of the invention.
