射频微系统中混频杂散的研究和计算

    Research and Computation of Mixer Spurious in Radio Frequency Microsystems

    • 摘要: 随着半导体元器件的快速发展,传统民航雷达、气象雷达、卫星导航、车载电台等多个独立子系统演变成了多种功能协同工作的一体化微系统,前端的射频模块设计从传统混合集成技术、多芯片通道化技术向射频系统级封装(RF-SIP)多芯片模块化技术发展,因此系统的体积可以缩小到原先的一半。采用三维堆叠技术的RF-SIP内部可以集成一次、两次甚至多次变频,在其狭小的空间内部,混频杂散的抑制是一个难题。为了更好地避免杂散信号的产生,文中借鉴了诸多前人的研究,并结合实际工作中的测试经验,研究了一种新型混频杂散的计算方法。该方法解决了传统计算工具中计算混频杂散的完备问题,并采用C#编写成小工具,集成在微波辅助测试软件Locverk PBS内部。从事射频组件设计、测试的工程师或者方案规划人员,可在项目初期辅助分析和设计混频方案,以降低项目的设计和研发周期。

       

      Abstract: With the rapid development of semiconductor components, multiple independent subsystems such as traditional civil aviation radars, meteorological radars, satellite navigation systems, and vehicle-mounted radios have been evolved into integrated microsystems where multiple functions work in coordination. The design of the front-end radio frequency module has been evolved from traditional hybrid integration technology and multi-chip channelization technology to radio frequency system-in-package (RF-SIP) multi-chip modular technology. As a result, the volume of the system can be reduced to half of its original size. The RF-SIP using three-dimensional stacking technology can be integrated with single, double, or even multiple frequency conversions internally. However, within its limited volume, the mixer spurious suppression is a challenging problem. In order to better avoid the generation of spurious signals, many previous studies have been drawn on in this paper, and the testing experience in practical work has been combined to study a new method for calculating mixer spurious. The completeness problem of calculating mixer spurious in traditional calculation tools has been solved by this method. It has been programmed into a small tool using C#, integrated into a microwave auxiliary testing software Locverk PBS. For engineers engaged in radio frequency component design and testing, as well as solution planners, it can be used to assist in the analysis and design of the mixing scheme at the initial stage of a project, and the design and research and development cycle can be reduced.
