Abstract

The invention discloses a distributed power amplifier, comprising multiple gain units connected in parallel between the input end and the output end, wherein each gain unit is composed of two sub-gain units, the each two adjacent gain units are connected by an inductor, the input impedances of the two sub-gain units of each gain unit and the inductors respectively connected with the input ends of the two sub-gain units jointly form two input artificial transmission lines, the output impedances of the two sub-gain units of each gain unit and the inductors respectively connected with the output ends of the two sub-gain units jointly form an output artificial transmission line, and inductors are further connected between two ends of the input and output artificial transmission lines. According to the distributed power amplifier, the output transmission lines of the two sub-gain units are combined, and thereby the limitation of the equivalent input capacitances of the gain units on the bandwidth of the distributed power amplifier is effectively overcome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to a distributed power amplifier. Background technique [0002] The working principle of the distributed amplifier is to use the parasitic capacitance of the transistor to form an artificial transmission line, so that it can break through the limitation of the gain-bandwidth product of the traditional amplifier, and obtain a large flatness in a wide frequency band (up to multiple times or even more than ten times the frequency). Gain, which has important academic value in the research field of broadband amplifiers for radio frequency and microwave circuits. The application fields of distributed amplifiers include high-speed links, broadband wireless transceivers, high-resolution radar and imaging systems, etc. The military and civilian markets are in great demand for them, such as Hittite microwave's HMC459, HMC464, HMC930 and HMC1022 series The chip is a broadband powe...
