A universal topology is proposed for the utilization of both DM and CM in PA and other RF circuits. By assigning the millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) and sub-7 GHz bands to DM and CM paths, respectively, this PA achieves coverage of both 3.5 and 27 GHz bands with only one amplifying stage and consequently a compact layout.

To eliminate beam interference in multibeam coherent communication, an interference cancellation scheme is introduced within the multibeam transmitter. In the circuit design, the proposed hybrid variable-gain amplifiers (VGAs) combine digital common-source (CS) VGAs and analog Gilbert-cell-based VGAs to achieve both a large dynamic range and high resolution. The hybrid VGAs are then embedded into a transmission-line-based network, forming a compact <inline-formula> <tex-math>$4times 4$ </tex-math></inline-formula> beam combining structure. To support multibeam phase steering, four pairs of Gm arrays interpolate four individual phase sates from the same I/Q signals generated by low- and high-pass lumped delay lines. These delay lines are inserted between CS transistors and common-gate (CG) transistors to isolate the impedance fluctuates of magnetic coupling resonance load across frequency. To manage the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) modulation signal, the output stage employs a symmetrical transformer-based Doherty load modulation network and an analog adaptive gain control in the auxiliary path to improve the power-back-off (PBO) efficiency. With a 1.1-V supply voltage, this transmitter achieves a saturated output power (Psat) of 19.2 dBm with a 20.5% channel efficiency (CE) and an output power 1-dB compression point (OP1dB) of 18.2 dBm. The measured maximum drain efficiency (DE) is 40.8%, while the 6-dB PBO DE is 28%, indicating improvements of 40%/180% compared to the normalized class-B/A implementations. The proposed hybrid VGA achieves a 27-dB tuning range and a 0.25-dB gain step with 0.26-dB/1.9° root mean square (rms) gain/phase errors, while the phase shifter (PS) implements 6-bit, 360° phase shifting with 0.25-dB/2.5° rms gain/phase errors, enabling precise gain tapering and beam steering.","PeriodicalId":13272,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques","volume":"73 4","pages":"2009-2022"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143800852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the HR-RFFE, programmable RC networks are deployed in both the TX and RX to achieve intermediate frequency (IF) domain HR and pre-calibration. An 8-phase LO signal generation, utilizing a D flip-flop (DFF) based chain, is employed to facilitate HR calibration. To mitigate HR degradation caused by LO phase errors, the TX employs a cross-connected Gilbert phase detector (PD) to assess the orthogonality of 90° shifted LO signals, enabling LO calibration. For the receiver, phase errors are directly calculated via the baseband (BB) output at a much lower frequency.
