计算电容在通路的作用,用下面公式计算阻抗(10欧姆以下算低,隔离直流用的;高的话就是用于匹配的)
1/ωC
电容容抗计算器
- Application functions
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
Power Amplifier (PA)
Driver Amplifier - RF frequency range
- Operating temperature
- Power Supply
Supply voltage and current consumption - (Power) Gain
G (dB)=10 log (Pout/Pin) = S21(dB) - Gain flatness and Return losses (VSWR)
@VSWR<2.0 or S11, S22<-10dB - Noise figure, NF (dB)
NF(dB)=10 log[(Si/Ni)/(So/No)]
非线性
9.P1dB:Power output at 1dB compression point
真实的功率比理想的少了1dB,描述器件的线性度
10. Harmonic distortion
电压和电流为什么是20log,功率要取10log?
单位统一,电压电流平方
K2,K3一般是负的;且次方数越大系数越小。
二次方产生 :直流偏移,二次谐波
三次方主要产生 :增益压缩 ,三次谐波
温度高,电子迁移率低,增益下降。
11. AM to AM and AM to PM Conversion
输入两个频率
IM3产生的频率在我们的频带内,要比相位噪声低6dB
我们能接受的噪声干扰比底噪高1dB,计算后得到IM为-6dB
-
Intermodulation distortion, IMD
IM2: Second order intermodulation product
VOUT(IM2) = 1/2 K2 A2 [COS(01)t+ COS(ω2-ω1)t]
These signals can generally be filtered out!IM3: Third order intermodulation product VOUT(IM3) = 3/4 K3 A3 [COS(2ω1-ω2)t+ COS(2ω2-ω1)t] These in-band signal always cause co- channel and adjacent channel interference (blocking effect)!
ACPR单位dBc,会影响是否干扰到别人。
IM属于功率dBm
13. Third-order intercept point, PIP3(OIP3) 单位dBm,代表一个功率点
功放的线性度
输出功率要比P1dB小10dB
- Dynamic range
