Description
本發明係有關於一種射頻放大器結構,更詳而言之,尤指一種多頻放大器結構改良。 The present invention relates to a radio frequency amplifier structure, and more particularly to a multi-frequency amplifier structure improvement.
積體電路常會利用一射頻疊層放大器(radio frequency cascode)作為該積體電路輸出或輸入,在使用射頻疊層放大器的情況下,會造成該積體電路所產生之雜訊增加的情況,但若是積體電路不使用射頻疊層放大器的情況,雖可以獲得低雜訊的輸出值,但該積體電路則無法得到所要增益效果,因此常見到為降低雜訊的產生,增加一常規的射頻放大器,該種設置方式雖可以抑制雜訊的產生,但在積體電路所可運用的工作頻率受到限制,因此如何提供一可以降低雜訊,且又不影響所使用之工作頻率的射頻放大器,亦為目前較為重要之研究目標。 The integrated circuit often uses a radio frequency cascode as the output or input of the integrated circuit. In the case of using a radio frequency stacked amplifier, the noise generated by the integrated circuit is increased, but If the integrated circuit does not use the RF stack amplifier, although the output value of the low noise can be obtained, the integrated circuit cannot obtain the desired gain effect, so it is common to reduce the noise generation and add a conventional RF. Amplifier, this kind of setting method can suppress the generation of noise, but the operating frequency that can be used in the integrated circuit is limited, so how to provide a radio frequency amplifier that can reduce the noise without affecting the operating frequency used, It is also a relatively important research goal.
鑒於上述習知技術之缺點,本發明主要之目的在於提供一種降低寬頻放大器雜訊,及提高輸出增益之射頻放大器結構改良。 In view of the above disadvantages of the prior art, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved RF amplifier structure that reduces broadband amplifier noise and improves output gain.

請參閱第1圖,係為射頻放大器結構示意圖,如圖所示,該射頻放大器結構係由一訊號輸入端、一訊號輸出端及一射頻放大器組成,該射頻放大器100包括一電晶體M、一變壓器及一可變電容器Ctune,該變壓器包括第一線圈導體N1和第二線圈導體N2,該第一線圈導體N1和第二線圈導體N2磁性連 接,且第一線圈導體N1與第二線圈導體N2磁力耦合,第二線圈導體N2之一端電性連接射頻放大器100的電晶體M的控制端,第一線圈導體N1之一端電性連接電晶體M的輸入端,第一線圈導體N1之另一端電性連接接地端,該射頻放大器100複包括一電晶體M、一電感L及一旁路電容器Cbypass,該電晶體M有一輸入端、一輸出端及一控制端。 Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a structure of a radio frequency amplifier. As shown in the figure, the RF amplifier structure is composed of a signal input end, a signal output end and an RF amplifier. The RF amplifier 100 includes a transistor M and a a transformer and a variable capacitor C tune comprising a first coil conductor N1 and a second coil conductor N2, the first coil conductor N1 and the second coil conductor N2 being magnetically connected, and the first coil conductor N1 and the second coil conductor N2 magnetically coupled, one end of the second coil conductor N2 is electrically connected to the control end of the transistor M of the radio frequency amplifier 100, one end of the first coil conductor N1 is electrically connected to the input end of the transistor M, and the other end of the first coil conductor N1 The RF amplifier 100 further includes a transistor M, an inductor L and a bypass capacitor C bypass . The transistor M has an input end, an output end and a control end.
電晶體M有一輸入端、輸出端及一控制端,在具體實施上該電晶體M,是為一MOS電晶體,該信號輸入端Vin經由一焊盤電容器(Cpad)電性連接該接地端,該電晶體的該輸入端與電感器電性連接,而該電感器與該信號輸入端Vin電性連接,以及該可變電容器(Ctune),係與該第二線圈導體並聯,其中,於使用該射頻放大器之積體電路上,常會因為該洩漏端(輸出)所輸出的增益變異造成輸出電阻Rout混亂,故增加可變電容器Ctune進行增益值的調整,透過第一線圈導體N1改變積體電路的磁通量,因為阻抗及磁通量的改變,會造成第二線圈導體N2變化,進而達到調整工作頻率及減少雜訊的目的;射頻放大器結構改良,其中,複包括一信號輸出端和一信號輸入端,且該信號輸入端電性連接該電晶體M的輸入端,該信號輸出端電性連接該電晶體M的輸出端;一電性連接該信號輸入端和該電晶體輸入端的電感器;一電性連接該信號輸入端的基板電容器;第二線圈導體之另一端經由旁路電容器(Cbypass)電性連接該接地端。 The transistor M has an input terminal, an output terminal and a control terminal. In the specific implementation, the transistor M is a MOS transistor, and the signal input terminal V in is electrically connected to the ground via a pad capacitor (C pad ). The input end of the transistor is electrically connected to the inductor, and the inductor is electrically connected to the signal input terminal V in , and the variable capacitor (C tune ) is connected in parallel with the second coil conductor. Wherein, in the integrated circuit using the RF amplifier, the output resistance R out is often confused due to the gain variation of the leakage end (output), so the variable capacitor C tune is added to adjust the gain value, and the first coil is transmitted through the first coil. The conductor N1 changes the magnetic flux of the integrated circuit, because the change of the impedance and the magnetic flux causes the second coil conductor N2 to change, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the operating frequency and reducing the noise; the RF amplifier structure is improved, wherein the complex includes a signal output end And a signal input end, and the signal input end is electrically connected to the input end of the transistor M, the signal output end is electrically connected to the output end of the transistor M; and the signal is electrically connected The input end and the inductor of the transistor input end; a substrate capacitor electrically connected to the signal input end; and the other end of the second coil conductor is electrically connected to the ground end via a bypass capacitor (C bypass ).
