Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of microwave radio frequency chips, in particular to an ultra-broadband gradient temperature-compensated distributed microwave power amplifying chip. Background technique [0002] Ultra-wideband microwave power amplifier chips are widely used in broadband systems such as wireless communication, ultra-wideband radar, and electronic countermeasures. Power amplifiers need to use large-sized transistors to obtain sufficient output power, but the parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance of large-sized transistors will significantly deteriorate the operating bandwidth and amplification gain. The distributed amplification structure splits the transistor with a total gate width of Wch into N Wch / N smaller-sized transistors, uses the microstrip line to compensate the parasitic capacitance of each transistor, and realizes ultra-wideband based on N repeated amplification structures in parallel, which is At present, the ma...

[0003] The gate voltage of the traditional distributed amplification structure is controlled by the external feed unit, and the fluctuation of the external feed voltage may cause the chip operating point to deviate from the normal state

On the other hand, the DC and RF performance of transistors will change with temperature. If the gate voltage is not temperature compensated,
