Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of field effect transistor radio frequency power amplifiers and integrated circuits, in particular to a radio frequency power amplifier chip circuit for vehicle networking communication, which aims at a transmitting module applied to vehicle networking communication (C-V2X) based on cellular technology.

Background

With the rapid development of 5G wireless communication systems and radio frequency circuits, the car networking communication based on the 5.9GHz frequency band cellular technology also has unprecedented application space, and the radio frequency front-end receiving and transmitting circuit of the car networking communication system also develops towards the directions of high performance, high integration and low power consumption. Therefore, the radio frequency power amplifier of the transmitter is urgently required by the internet of vehicles communication market to have high linear output power and efficiency, reduce heat dissipation and improve circuit stability, and the power amplifier chip is the key expected to meet the market requirement. However, when the integrated circuit process design is adopted to realize the power amplifier chip circuit in the car networking communication market, the performance and the cost of the power amplifier chip circuit are limited to a certain extent, and the performance and the cost are mainly reflected as follows:

(1) the power amplifier efficiency is limited under high back-off power, and the power consumption is higher: when the traditional AB type power amplifier realizes the amplification of a high peak-to-average ratio signal, the efficiency is lower under high back-off power, so the power consumption is larger.

(2) Power gain is limited, and insertion loss degradation is large: the 5.9GHz frequency band is usually realized by adopting a semiconductor process with lower cost and lower characteristic frequency, so that the single-tube gain of the power amplifier is limited, the parasitic parameters of a transistor become larger along with the increase of the frequency band, the parasitic loss of a circuit is greatly deteriorated, and the performance of the circuit is influenced;

(3) limitations with lumped parameter circuit design: when a circuit matched with the traditional lumped parameter RLC is designed in the 5.9GHz frequency band, devices with larger chip areas such as an inductor and a capacitor still need to be adopted, and the limitation is brought to the circuit design because the substrate loss is increased and the inductance Q value is lower.

The common circuit structures with high linear output power and efficiency amplifiers are many, the most typical is a Doherty single-ended power amplifier, but the difficulty is high when the traditional Doherty single-ended power amplifier needs to meet the power amplifier index requirements of the communication market of the internet of vehicles at the same time, mainly because:

(1) when the traditional Doherty single-ended power amplifier realizes the circuit design of a 5.9GHz frequency band, the backspacing efficiency index is poor due to the influence of parasitic parameters;

(2) when the traditional Doherty single-ended power amplifier realizes the circuit design of a 5.9GHz frequency band, an AB class driving amplifier is often adopted to drive the Doherty amplifier, so that when the Doherty amplifier works with the back-off efficiency and is subjected to the gain compensation effect of the AB class amplifier, the good load traction effect under the high back-off of a main circuit and an auxiliary circuit of the Doherty amplifier cannot be met at the same time, the back-off efficiency is reduced, and the linearity index is deteriorated.

In addition, the use of depletion mode fets often requires additional supply voltage, which also increases the complexity of the circuit.

the differential dual stack amplifier differs from the Cascode differential amplifier in that: the stacked grid compensation capacitor of the common grid tube of the Cascode transistor is a capacitor with a larger capacitance value and is used for realizing alternating current grounding of the grid, and the grid of the differential double-stacked amplifier is a matching capacitor with a smaller capacitance value, so that the synchronous swing of the grid voltage is realized, the circuit breakdown voltage is improved, and the impedance matching of the transistors among the stacks is improved;

the amplifier with the Doherty structure is realized by utilizing the differential double-stack amplifier, and compared with the traditional single-ended amplifier structure, the suppression characteristic of the circuit on parasitic parameters can be obviously improved, and the high-frequency circuit index is improved.

In the whole radio frequency power amplifier aiming at the communication of the Internet of vehicles, the size of a transistor and the sizes of other resistors and capacitors are determined after the gain, the back-off efficiency, the output power and other indexes of the whole circuit are comprehensively considered, and through the layout design and the reasonable layout in the later period, the required indexes can be better realized, and the high-power output capacity, the high-back-off efficiency, the high-power gain and the good input-output matching characteristic are realized.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
