Description

Current bias generating circuit capable of controlling temperature coefficient and radio frequency power amplifier
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radio frequency amplifying circuits, in particular to a temperature coefficient controllable current bias generating circuit and a radio frequency amplifier.
Background
The current bias generating circuit generates a bias current to provide stable bias for each module in the integrated circuit. In radio frequency Power Amplifier (PA) designs, the bias current provides a suitable operating point for the PA, enabling high efficiency, high linearity operation of the PA.
Because the current of the power tube (HBT) of the rf PA is shown in equation 1:
equation 1 ic=is exp (Vbe/Vt)
Where Is the reverse saturation current of the HBT tube, vbe Is the base-level bias voltage, and Vt Is the thermal voltage. According to the thermal voltage formula vt=kt/q, T is the thermodynamic temperature, q is the charge quantity per electron, k is the boltzmann constant, and Vt has a positive temperature coefficient.
The transconductance gm of the HBT refers to the ratio between the change in the output current and the change in the input voltage, as shown in equation 2,
Formula 2 gm=dc/dVbe =ic/vt=beta×ib/Vt
Beta is the current gain of the HBT, ib is the base-stage bias current, gm is an important design parameter of the PA, and in order to ensure that the PA is kept constant at different temperatures, ib is required to have a positive temperature coefficient, namely the bias current generated by the current bias generation circuit is required to have a positive temperature coefficient.
Existing current bias generation circuits provide a constant temperature coefficient bias current, i.e. the bias current is kept constant under temperature variations, or a positive temperature coefficient bias current, i.e. the positive temperature coefficient is provided according to the junction voltage difference of two BJT (bipolar transistor) tubes of different current densities in a Bandgap (Bandgap reference) structure, however, such a scheme can only provide a single positive temperature coefficient.
