摘要:  宽带功率放大器是现代多频段无线通信系统中的关键器件.Cascode结构由于其良好的带宽特性以及输出阻抗特性,被广泛应用在宽带功率放大器的设计当中.带宽和线性是宽带功率放大器的重要指标.通常用RLC补偿网络可以增加Cascode结构功率放大器的带宽.木文提出通过选择合适的RLC补偿网络电路参数,使得晶体管处于良好的工作状态,可以实现在增加Cascode放大器带宽的同时,改善其线性度.从电路原理上分析了—补偿网络改善功率放大器非线性的原因,并利用Volterra
级数方法计算了三阶交调截止点IP3),证实了IP3可以改善3 dB士.采用2µm lnGaP/GaAs HBT半导体工艺流片后,测试结果表明,其3 dB工作宽带扩展了1GHz(带宽从1. 5 UHz扩展到2. 5 GHz) , IP3改善了3dB,与计算结果非常一致.

Abstract:  With the development of wireless communication, the system needs to cover multiple frequency bands for different standard;therefore broadband power amplifiers will play a more and more important role in multi-band power amplifier modules (PAMs).The cascode structure, composed of a commorremitter (CE) and a commorrbasc (CB) transistor, is widely used in the broadband power amplifier design because of its miller effect capacitance suppression and high output impedance. RLC peaking technology is a well-known approach to broaden the bandwidth of cascode power amplifiers, In this approach,a RLC peaking network, also called resistance-inductance capacitance (RLC) loss compensation network, is placed at the base of a common-base transistor, instead of a DC
blocking capacitor in the conventional cascode structure. According to previous research, different working conditions of the transistors in the cascode structure will lead to a noticeable influence on the linearity of the whole
