摘要
基于IBM0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS工艺BiCMOS5PAe实现了一种偏置电流可调节的高效率2.4GHz锗硅功率放大器。该功率放大器采用两级单端结构和一种新型偏置电路,除射频扼流电感外,其它元件均片内集成。采用的新型偏置电路用于调节功率放大器的静态偏置电流,使功率放大器工作在高功率模式状态或低功率模式状态。在3.5V电源条件下,功率放大器在低功率模式下工作时,与工作在高功率模式下相比,其功率附加效率在输出0dBm时提高了56.7%,在输出20dBm时提高了19.2%。芯片的尺寸为1.32mm×1.37mm。
Based on IBM 0.35 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology BiCMOS5PAe,a high efficiency 2.4 GHz SiGe power amplifier with a novel bias current controlling circuit is reported.The novel bias circuit of this single-ended 2-stage power amplifier is used to switch the quiescent current to make the power amplifier operate in a high power or low power mode.Under a single supply voltage of+3.5 V,this switching-mode power amplifier provides a PAE improvement up to 56.7% and 19.2% at the output power of 0 dBm and 20 dBm respectively, with the reduced quiescent current at low power mode compared to only operation at high power mode. The die size is only 1.32 mm×1.37 mm.
