  • 摘要: 为解决传统宽带大功率放大器工作效率低的问题,采用新型电阻电抗连续B/J类功放模式拓展晶体管高效率的输出负载阻抗空间,从而提高宽带功放的漏级输出效率。提出了一款基于0.25 μm栅长的氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管(GaN HEMT)的平衡式功放。该功放将LC匹配网络和切比雪夫阻抗变换器相结合实现GaN HEMT器件宽带输入输出阻抗匹配,并利用3 dB Lange耦合器实现宽带平衡式功率合成。在连续波测试条件下,该平衡式功放在2~6 GHz频带内输出功率大于100 W,漏极效率大于45%,功率增益大于9.0 dB,抗负载失配比优于5:1。

     

    Abstract: In this paper, in order to solve the problem of low efficiency of traditional wideband high-power amplifier, a new type of resistive reactance continuous B/J power amplifier mode is adopted to expand the output load impedance space of transistor with high efficiency. As a result, the drain stage output efficiency of broadband power amplifier is improved. Then, a balanced power amplifier (PA) based on 0.25 μm gate-length GaN HEMT is proposed. The PA combines LC matching network and Chebyshev impedance converter to realize broadband input and output impedance matching of GaN HEMT device, and utilizes a 3 dB Lange coupler to achieve broadband balanced power combination. Under the operating condition of continuous wave (CW), the proposed balanced PA has an output power greater than 100 W, drain efficiency greater than 45%, power gain greater than 9 dB, and anti-load mismatch better than 5:1 in the frequency range of 2 GHz to 6 GHz.
