基于勒让德阻抗变换器的Doherty放大器Doherty Amplifier Based on Legendre Impedance Transformer

技术领域technical field

本发明特别涉及一种基于勒让德阻抗变换器的Doherty放大器,属于功率放大器技术领域。The invention particularly relates to a Doherty amplifier based on a Legendre impedance converter, which belongs to the technical field of power amplifiers.

背景技术Background technique

Dohert功放的理论由W.H.Doherty提出,其目的是为了解决普通的AB类功放工作在功率回退点时效率低的缺点,传统的Doherty功放有一个主功率放大器和一个辅助功率放大器共两个放大器组成。The theory of Dohert power amplifier was proposed by W.H.Doherty. Its purpose is to solve the disadvantage of low efficiency when the ordinary class AB power amplifier works at the power back-off point. The traditional Doherty power amplifier consists of a main power amplifier and an auxiliary power amplifier. A total of two amplifiers .

传统Doherty放大器的电路结构如图1所示,输入信号分离单元12将信号分成两路,分别用于驱动主功率放大器15和辅助功率放大器14.主功率放大器15通过第一四分之一波长传输线16与辅助功率放大器14连接,第一四分之一波长传输线16起到阻抗反转的作用;辅助放大器输入的第二四分之一波长传输线13则是起到相位延迟的作用,以保证在合路点主功率放大器15和辅助放大器14输出信号的相位一致;合路节点与负载18之间的第三四分之一波长传输线17,其目的是将负载18的阻抗与Doherty放大器的合路阻抗匹配。The circuit structure of the traditional Doherty amplifier is shown in Figure 1. The inputsignal separation unit 12 divides the signal into two paths, which are respectively used to drive themain power amplifier 15 and theauxiliary power amplifier 14. Themain power amplifier 15 passes through the first quarter-wavelength transmission line. 16 is connected to theauxiliary power amplifier 14, and the first quarter-wavelength transmission line 16 plays the role of impedance inversion; the second quarter-wavelength transmission line 13 input by the auxiliary amplifier plays the role of phase delay to ensure that the The phases of the output signals of themain power amplifier 15 and theauxiliary amplifier 14 at the combining point are consistent; the third quarter-wavelength transmission line 17 between the combining node and theload 18 is designed to combine the impedance of theload 18 with the Doherty amplifier Impedance matching.

图2是PA工作在不同偏置下的饱和功率和效率关系图,Doherty放大器的主要原理是通过辅助放大器14的开启程度也即输出电流的大小来对主放大器15所看到的负载阻抗进行调节和牵引,使得主功放15在功率回退的时候电压摆幅还能达到最大值,从而获得较高的效率。所以这就要求辅助放大器14需要工作在C类状态下,随输入信号功率的增加C类放大器会逐渐开启,而主功率放大器15则是工作在AB类状态下,然而传统的四分之一波长传输线的带宽比较窄,极大限制了传统Doherty的适用范围。Figure 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the saturation power and efficiency of the PA operating under different biases. The main principle of the Doherty amplifier is to adjust the load impedance seen by themain amplifier 15 through the opening degree of theauxiliary amplifier 14, that is, the magnitude of the output current. and traction, so that the voltage swing of themain power amplifier 15 can reach the maximum value when the power is backed off, thereby obtaining higher efficiency. Therefore, this requires theauxiliary amplifier 14 to work in the class C state, and the class C amplifier will gradually turn on as the input signal power increases, while themain power amplifier 15 works in the class AB state. However, the traditional quarter wavelength The bandwidth of the transmission line is relatively narrow, which greatly limits the application scope of traditional Doherty.

勒让德多项式最早由Adrien-Marie Legendre提出,其一般微分公式参阅公式1),因其具有如下特点:Legendre polynomial was first proposed by Adrien-Marie Legendre, and its general differential formula is shown in Equation 1), because it has the following characteristics:

①定义域为[-1,+1]时,值域为[-1,+1]。在这个范围内勒让德多项式在正负1之间小幅振荡,这个区域描绘出匹配变换器的通带。①When the definition domain is [-1, +1], the value domain is [-1, +1]. In this range the Legendre polynomial oscillates slightly between plus andminus 1, and this region delineates the passband of the matched converter.

②|x|>1,|Pn(x)|>1。②|x|>1, |Pn(x)|>1.

③Pn(x)随着x和n的增加而迅速增加。③Pn(x) increases rapidly with the increase of x and n.

④Pn(x)具有对称性④Pn(x) has symmetry

故而可以将勒让德多项式与基于小反射理论的多节阻抗变换器总反射系数公式(如式3))相对应成比例设计出基于勒让德多项式的勒让德阻抗变换器,取代传统四分之一波长传输线。Therefore, the Legendre polynomial can be proportional to the total reflection coefficient formula of the multi-section impedance transformer based on the small reflection theory (such as Equation 3), and a Legendre impedance transformer based on the Legendre polynomial can be designed to replace the traditional four. One-wavelength transmission line.

如图3所示,所述传统四分之一波长传输线在带内反射系数要求不高于0.05的情况下,相对带宽只有8.52%。而本发明采用的勒让德阻抗变换器,例如三阶勒让德阻抗变换器在相同反射系数下却有高达74.75%的相对带宽,能极大拓宽Doherty功率放大器的适用范围。参阅下式1)是勒让德多项式的一般微分公式,式2)是勒让德多项式的前三阶公式,由此可以制作不同阶数的勒让德阻抗变换器来代替传统的四分之一波长传输线,拓宽带宽,同时由于带内的纹波较小,使得Doherty功率放大器在饱和功率点以及回退功率低点带内的所匹配的阻抗波动也比较小。在带内反射系数不高于0.05,使用三阶勒让德阻抗变换器的情况下,64%的带宽内阻抗波动在4%以内,74.75%的带宽内阻抗波动在11%以内,由此使得对应的功率放大器在整个带内都能获得比较高的回退效率和饱和功率。As shown in FIG. 3 , the relative bandwidth of the conventional quarter-wavelength transmission line is only 8.52% under the condition that the in-band reflection coefficient is not higher than 0.05. However, the Legendre impedance transformer used in the present invention, such as the third-order Legendre impedance transformer, has a relative bandwidth as high as 74.75% under the same reflection coefficient, which can greatly broaden the applicable range of the Doherty power amplifier. Refer to the following formula 1) is the general differential formula of Legendre polynomial, formula 2) is the first three-order formula of Legendre polynomial, so Legendre impedance transformers of different orders can be made to replace the traditional quarter The one-wavelength transmission line widens the bandwidth, and at the same time, because the ripple in the band is small, the impedance fluctuation of the Doherty power amplifier at the saturation power point and the low point of the fallback power is also relatively small. When the in-band reflection coefficient is not higher than 0.05 and the third-order Legendre impedance converter is used, the impedance fluctuation in 64% of the bandwidth is within 4%, and the impedance fluctuation in 74.75% of the bandwidth is within 11%, thus making The corresponding power amplifier can obtain relatively high back-off efficiency and saturation power in the whole band.
