Abstract

A heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology utilizing InGaP/GaAs and carbon-doped base has been established in Motorola's high-volume 6" GaAs facility. The technology has been used to develop an integrated dual band (824-849 MHz and 1850-1910 MHz) power amplifier IC with multi-mode operation for 2.5G portable wireless. Both three-stage amplifiers have 30 dB gain, and provide an EDGE (8-PSK) signal at 28 dBm, an NADC signal at 30 dBm, and a GMSK signal at 32 dBm in their respective frequency bands, using a single 3.5 V source. All matching elements external to the chip are included in a low cost epoxy substrate which is 9/spl times/12/spl times/1.6 mm/sup 3/. Prospects of using this technology in W-CDMA applications have also been explored. A prototype achieves an ACPR of -41 dBc at 28 dBm output power with an efficiency of 36%.

双频多模功率放大器模块采用第三代HBT技术

利用InGaP/GaAs和碳掺杂基的异质结双极晶体管(HBT)技术已经在摩托罗拉的高产量6" GaAs设施中建立起来。该技术已用于开发具有多模式操作的2.5G便携式无线集成双频(824-849 MHz和1850-1910 MHz)功率放大器IC。两个三级放大器都具有30db增益，并在各自的频段内使用单个3.5 V源提供28dbm的EDGE (8-PSK)信号，30dbm的NADC信号和32dbm的GMSK信号。芯片外部的所有匹配元件都包含在低成本的环氧基板中，其尺寸为9/spl倍/12/spl倍/1.6 mm/sup 3/。并对该技术在W-CDMA中的应用前景进行了展望。一个原型在28 dBm输出功率下实现了-41 dBc的ACPR，效率为36%。
