The negative feedback depth adjustment module comprises an impedance sub-module 31, a gain signal input sub-module 33, and a gain signal feed sub-module 32, wherein the gain signal feed sub-module 32 is configured to feed a gain signal acquired from the gain signal input sub-module 33 to the impedance sub-module 31, so that a resistance value of the impedance sub-module 31 changes.
In this embodiment, the impedance submodule 31 includes a diode and a first resistor, and the gain signal feeding submodule 32 is configured to feed a gain signal to the diode and the first resistor. The first resistor is a fixed resistor, the gain signal may be a voltage signal, and when the gain signal changes, the resistance value of the diode changes correspondingly, so that the overall resistance value of the impedance submodule 31 is changed; when the resistance value of the impedance submodule 31 changes, the gain of the amplifier also changes correspondingly. A person skilled in the art can thus determine by experiment the appropriate diodes for the impedance submodule 31 in the amplifier circuit.
In this embodiment, the working principle of the impedance submodule 31 for adjusting the gain of the amplifier is as follows:
the equivalent resistance Rfb of the negative feedback circuit 1 is Rd1+ R1. In the formula, Rd1 is an equivalent resistance value of the diode D1, and the resistance value is controlled by the on-state current of the diode, that is, Rd1 is Vd1/Id1 (c). Vd1 is the conduction voltage drop of the diode, Id1 is the conduction current of the diode, which is also the current flowing through resistor R1. Meanwhile, because the diode D1 and the resistor R1 are connected in series, VD is VD1+ R1 Id 1. The three formulas are arranged to obtain: rfb is (Vd 1/(VD-Vd 1) +1) × R1. The conduction voltage drop Vd1 of the diode in the equation is determined by the process, the CMOS process is generally about 0.7V, the GaAs process is generally about 1.1V, and the diodes of different processes can be selected according to the actual needs. After the resistor R1 is determined, the equivalent resistor Rfb of the negative feedback circuit 1 is determined by VD voltage, and the equivalent resistor Rfb of the negative feedback circuit 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the VD voltage, so that the negative feedback depth is regulated and controlled, and the gain of the power amplifier can be controlled. And the control range of VD may be from VD1 to infinity.
According to the working principle, the resistance value of the impedance submodule 31 in the amplifier can be adjusted linearly in the technical scheme of the invention, so that the gain of the amplifier can be adjusted more linearly, and the adjustment of the gain of the amplifier has higher linearity and stability.
