A 2.4 GHz high linearity RF receiver front-end chip with out-of-band suppression
为了满足射频通信接收系统对高线性度与带外抑制的需求,提出了一种基于SOI(Silicon on Insulator)工艺设计的高线性度射频前端接收芯片,所设计的芯片集成了低噪声放大器、射频开关以及相关辅助电路.其中,低噪声放大器采用基于跨导非线性补偿技术的MGTR(Multiple Gated Transistor)结构设计,以减小MOS管的三阶跨导,并利用匹配中的谐振网络抑制了放大器中的二阶非线性,使低噪声放大器取得了高线性度性能,该谐振网络还使低噪声放大器实现了带外抑制功能.射频开关设有Bypass支路,能在接收输入端信号过大时将信号衰减并旁路,以保护低噪声放大器.实验结果表明,在2.4~2.5 GHz的工作频带内,接收前端芯片由2 V电压供电,电流为16 mA,带内增益大于15.4dB,噪声系数小于1.76 dB,输入和输出回波损耗小于-15 dB.在2.4 GHz处输入三阶交调点为11dBm,1dB压缩点为-1.92 dBm,并在5~6 GHz频段内实现了带外干扰抑制,芯片总面积为700 μm×700 μm.
To meet the requirements for high linearity and out-of-band signal suppression in the receive system of RF communication,a high linearity RF receiver front-end chip designed based on SOI(Silicon on Insulator)technology has been proposed.The chip integrates low noise amplifier,RF switch and auxiliary circuit.The low noise amplifier adopts MGTR(Multiple Gated Transistor)structure which is based on transconductance nonlinear compensation technology to eliminate the third-order transconductance of transistors,and the resonant network in the matching is applied to suppress the second-order nonlinearity in the amplifier,enabling the LN A to achieve good linearity performance.There is a bypass branch in the RF switch,which bypasses the signal when the input signal is too large to protect the low noise amplifier.The measurement results of the chip show that in the operating frequency band of 2.4 to 2.5 GHz,the receiver front-end chip is powered by a 2 V voltage,with a current of 16 mA,a gain of more than 15.4 dB,a noise figure of less than 1.76 dB,an input and output return loss of less than-15 dB,an input third order modulation point of 11 dBm at 2.4 GHz,a 1 dB compression point of-1.92 dBm,and an out-of-band interference rejection in the 5~6 GHz,and the total area of the chip is 700 μm × 700 μm.
