A novel topology of current mirror (CM) with tunable output current is proposed. Two methods for output current tuning are presented. The first one utilizes an analog input voltage for linear current output, and the second one has an N-bit digital input signal for 2N un-continuous current outputs. A linearization method for low noise amplifier (LNA) is proposed and realized with this tunable CM. As the provider of the bias current, the CM has brought the LNA a lower NF (noise figure) and a higher IIP3 (input-referred third-order intercept point) compared with a conventional one. The experimental results show that the LNA achieves 1.47 dB NF and + 19.83 dBm IIP3 at 860 MHz.
Using a Volterra series, an explicit formula is derived for the connection between input 3rd-order intercept point and collector bias current (IcQ) in a common-emitter bipolar junction transistor amplifier. The analysis indicates that the larger/CQ is, the more linear the amplifier is. Furthermore, this has been verified by experiment. This study also integrates a method called dynamic bias current for expanding the dynamic range of an LNA (low noise amplifier) as an application of the analysis result obtained above. IMR3 (3rd-order intermodulation rate) is applied to evaluate the LNA's performance with and without adopting this method in this study.
