Technical Field
The present invention relates to a power amplification technology for rf signals, and more particularly, to an rf amplifier circuit with power expansion function and a power expansion module for the same.
Background
Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers (RFPAs) are important components of various wireless transmitters. In the front stage circuit of the transmitter, the radio frequency signal power generated by the modulation oscillation circuit is very small, and the radio frequency signal power needs to pass through a series of amplification buffer stages, middle amplification stages and final power amplification stages, so that the radio frequency power with enough intensity can be fed to the antenna and radiated out. In order to obtain a radio frequency output power that meets the specifications, a radio frequency power amplifier must be used.
For rf power amplifiers, the power gain refers to the ratio of the output power to the input power of the amplifier, and is usually expressed in dB (decibel). In the prior art, as the input radio frequency signal increases, the output signal after radio frequency amplification also rises. However, as the output power of the amplifier increases, the power gain of the radio frequency power amplifier gradually decreases due to the inherent property of its own gain compression.

Detailed Description
In order to make the present disclosure more complete and complete, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar or analogous elements, and to the various embodiments of the invention described below. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the examples provided below are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and are not drawn to scale.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic structure of a radio frequency amplifying circuit in the prior art. Referring to fig. 1, the conventional rf amplifying circuit includes a switching element T1, a bias resistor RBIAS, a first bias power supply VBIAS, and a second bias power supply VSUPPLY. Here, the switching element T1 may be a MOSFET or a transistor, and the gate of the MOSFET corresponds to the base of the transistor, the drain of the MOSFET corresponds to the collector of the transistor, and the source of the MOSFET corresponds to the emitter of the transistor. The MOSFET will be described below as an example.
The gate of the switching element T1 is electrically coupled to an input terminal Pin of the rf amplifying circuit through a first blocking capacitor CRFIN, where a voltage of the input terminal Pin is labeled as VIN. The drain of the switching element T1 is electrically coupled to an inductor LVDD and to an output terminal Pout of the rf amplifying circuit through a second blocking capacitor CRFOUT, where the voltage of the output terminal Pout may be denoted as VOUT. The source of the switch device T1 is electrically coupled to ground. One end of the bias resistor RBIAS is electrically coupled to the gate of the switching element T1.
The first bias power supply VBIAS is disposed between the other end of bias resistor RBIAS and ground. The first bias power supply VBIAS is for supplying a bias voltage between the gate and the source of the switching element T1. The second bias power supply VSUPPLY is disposed between the inductor LVDD and the ground terminal. The second bias power supply VSUPPLY is used to provide a bias voltage between the drain and source of the switching element T1.
As can be seen from fig. 1, when the rf signal from the input terminal Pin increases, the rf signal output from the output terminal Pout also rises until it is saturated and remains unchanged. However, no matter how the input power of the rf signal increases, the gate-source voltage of the switching element T1 is always equal to the first bias power VBIAS, which will cause the power gain of the rf amplifier circuit to gradually decrease with the increase of the output power, affecting the gain characteristic of the circuit.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an rf amplifying circuit with power spreading function according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Comparing fig. 2 with fig. 1, the main difference is that in the embodiment of the present invention as shown in fig. 2, the rf amplifying circuit further includes a power spreading module. In detail, the power expansion module includes a diode D2, a resistor R2, a control switch T2, and a voltage expansion source VEXP. The cathode of the diode D2 is coupled to the control terminal of the switching element T1. One end of the resistor R2 is connected in series to the anode of the diode D2. In one embodiment, the resistor R2 is an external resistor connected in series to the diode D2. Alternatively, the resistor R2 may be a parasitic resistor of the diode D2. In addition, the control switch T2 can be a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) or a Transistor.
The gate of the control switch T2 is configured to receive the control signal EXPAND _ EN. For example, when the control signal expandin _ EN is at a low level, the control switch T2 is turned off, the power expansion module is in a disabled state (disabled) at this time, and no conducting loop exists between the voltage expansion source VEXP and the gate voltage VGATE of the switching element T1; when the control signal EXPAND _ EN is at a high level, the control switch T2 is closed, the power expansion module is in an enabled state (enabled), and a conductive loop is formed between the voltage expansion source VEXP and the gate voltage VGATE of the switch element T1. The drain of the control switch T2 is connected to the other end of the resistor R2, and the source of the control switch T2 is connected to one end of the voltage expansion source VEXP. The other end of the voltage expansion source VEXP is connected with the ground terminal. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the control switch T2 may be disposed not only between the voltage expansion source VEXP and the resistor R2, but also between the cathode of the diode D2 and the gate of the switching element T1; or between the anode of diode D2 and resistor R2.
As can be seen from fig. 2, when the valley swing of the rf signal from the input Pin exceeds the difference between the voltage spreading source VEXP and the threshold voltage of the diode D2, the diode D2 maintains high resistance and the power spreading module is turned off; when the valley swing of the rf signal from the input Pin is less than or equal to the difference between the voltage spreading source VEXP and the threshold voltage of the diode D2, the diode D2 is turned on and the power spreading module is turned on. Further, when the power expansion module is turned on, the valley voltage of the rf signal is clamped to the difference between the voltage expansion source VEXP and the threshold voltage of the diode D2. In this way, as the rf input signal continues to rise, the minimum valley voltage remains unchanged, and finally the bias voltage of the rf power amplifier circuit rises, thereby increasing the power gain of the amplifier circuit.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the power spreading module of fig. 2 is disposed at the input end of the rf amplifying circuit, and in other embodiments, the power spreading module may also be disposed at the output end of the rf amplifying circuit. For example, in a circuit with multiple stages of rf amplifiers, the power spreading module of the present invention can be disposed at the input of the rf amplifier of the previous stage, and also disposed at the output of the rf amplifier of the previous stage (i.e., the input of the rf amplifier of the next stage), which can also increase the power gain in the whole circuit.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a radio frequency amplifying circuit with a power spreading function according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Comparing fig. 3 with fig. 1, the main difference is that in the embodiment of the present invention as shown in fig. 3, the rf amplifying circuit further includes a power spreading module. In detail, the power spreading module includes a diode D3, a resistor R3, and a voltage spreading source VBIAS, wherein the voltage spreading source is implemented in common with the first bias power supply. The cathode of the diode D3 is coupled to the control terminal of the switching element T1. One end of the resistor R3 is connected in series to the anode of the diode D3, and the other end of the resistor R3 is connected to the voltage spread source VBIAS and the bias resistor RBIAS. In one embodiment, the resistor R3 is an external resistor connected in series to the diode D3. Or the resistor R3 may be a parasitic resistor of the diode D3.
Similarly, when the diode D3 is off, the power spreading module is in a disabled state (disabled); when the diode D3 is turned on, the power expansion module is in an enabled state (enabled). Further, when the difference between VBIAS of the first bias power source (i.e., the voltage spreading source of fig. 3) and the gate voltage VGATE of switching element T1 is less than the threshold voltage of diode D3, diode D3 remains high-resistance and the power spreading module is turned off; when the difference between the first bias power supply VBIAS and the gate voltage VGATE of the switching element T1 is greater than the threshold voltage of the diode D3, the diode D3 is turned on to establish a path from the first bias power supply VBIAS to the gate of the switching element T1 to raise the gate voltage of the switching element T1.
Likewise, when the power spreading module is turned on, the valley voltage of the rf signal is clamped to the difference between VBIAS, the threshold voltage of diode D3. In this way, as the rf input signal continues to rise, the minimum valley voltage remains unchanged, and finally the bias voltage of the rf power amplifier circuit rises, thereby increasing the power gain of the amplifier circuit.
In an embodiment, the power spreading module in fig. 3 may additionally be provided with a control switch as shown in fig. 2, and the control switch may be provided between the cathode of the diode D3 and the gate of the switching element T1, between the anode of the diode D3 and the resistor R3, or between the connection point of the bias resistor RBIAS and the voltage spreading source VBIAS and the resistor R3.
Fig. 4A is a diagram showing a time domain characteristic curve of a gate-source voltage of a switching element in the radio frequency amplifying circuit of fig. 1. Fig. 4B is a graph showing the gate-source voltage of the switching element as a function of the input power in the rf amplifier circuit of fig. 1. Fig. 5A is a diagram showing a time domain characteristic curve of a gate-source voltage of a switching element in the radio frequency amplifying circuit of fig. 2 or 3. Fig. 5B is a graph showing the gate-source voltage of the switching element as a function of the input power in the rf amplifier circuit of fig. 2 or 3. Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram comparing power gain versus output power curves between the rf amplifying circuit of fig. 2 or 3 and the rf amplifying circuit of fig. 1.
As can be seen from fig. 4A and 4B, when the power of the rf input signal increases, the dc portion of the gate-source voltage VGS of the switching element T1 is always kept constant at the bias voltage VBIAS, and the valley voltage of the rf signal is not limited. In contrast, in fig. 5A and 5B, as the power of the rf input signal increases, the valley voltage of the rf signal is clamped to the difference of the voltage spread source VBIAS and the threshold voltage of diode D3 (i.e., VBIAS-Vth). In this way, as the power of the rf input signal increases, the minimum valley voltage remains unchanged, and finally the dc portion of the gate-source voltage VGS of the switching element T1 gradually rises from VBIAS, the bias voltage of the switching element T1 rises, and the power gain of the circuit increases. Further, in the graph of fig. 6, L1 represents the power gain-output power curve when the power expansion module is not used, and L2 represents the power gain-output power curve when the power expansion module is used, it is easy to know that the power gain of the conventional rf amplifying circuit gradually decreases when the power of the rf output signal increases, and the rf amplifying circuit of the present invention can maintain or increase the power gain until the switching element T1 is saturated.
By adopting the radio frequency amplifying circuit and the power expansion module thereof, when the valley amplitude of the radio frequency signal from the input end exceeds the difference between the threshold voltages of the voltage expansion source and the diode, the diode keeps high resistance and the power expansion module is closed, and when the valley amplitude of the radio frequency signal is less than or equal to the difference between the threshold voltages of the voltage expansion source and the diode, the diode is conducted and the power expansion module is opened, so that the valley voltage of the radio frequency signal is clamped at the difference between the threshold voltages of the voltage expansion source and the diode. As the rf input signal continues to rise, the minimum valley voltage remains constant, thus increasing the bias voltage of the rf power amplifier and the power gain of the amplifier accordingly. Compared with the prior art, the invention can effectively control the gain characteristic of the radio frequency power amplifier without influencing the basic characteristic, and has the advantages of simplicity, practicability and miniaturization.
Hereinbefore, specific embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Such modifications and substitutions are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
