摘要:

实现了一款适用于77 GHz频段毫米波汽车雷达收发机的高动态范围、增益精细化调控模拟基带电路 (ABB). 为了适应汽车雷达从近距离 (15 m) 到远距离 (250 m) 的探测距离, 采用Butterworth滤波器在400 kHz至20 MHz信号带宽内实现10~57 dB的增益连续可调, 并提出增益精细化控制策略, 以2.5 dB/step进行增益调节, 将输出信号幅值精确稳定在460~740 mV. 采用反馈式直流失调 (DC offset) 消除环路, 有效抑制环路中的DC offset. 数模混合型反馈式自动增益控制 (AGC) 确保信号幅值快速变化时, 其稳定时间在160 μs内. 在输出级设计上, 实现高线性度源跟随器, 在保证信号低失真传输的同时, 增强ABB的输出驱动能力. 测试结果表明: 2.5 V电源电压下, 模拟基带可实现在400 kHz至20 MHz全工作频段下, 10~57 dB的宽范围自动增益调谐. 最高档位增益下, 电路在400 kHz和20 MHz处的噪声系数分别为42.4 dB和33.1 dB.

Abstract:

In this study, an analog-baseband (ABB) circuit for 77 GHz automotive radar transceivers, which features a large dynamic range and fine-grained gain control, is proposed and implemented. To accommodate various detection ranges from short (15 m) to long distance (250 m), the circuit employs a Butterworth filter supporting a signal bandwidth of 400 kHz to 20 MHz with a continuously tunable gain of 10 to 57 dB. A precision gain control strategy is proposed, which enables 2.5 dB/step gain adjustments to precisely maintain the output amplitude within 460–740 mV. A feedback-based direct current (DC) offset cancellation loop effectively suppresses residual DC offsets. The hybrid digital-analog feedback automatic gain control ensures a settling time of less than 160 μs during rapid signal amplitude variations. At the output stage, a highly linear source-follower structure is implemented to minimize signal distortion while enhancing the ABB’s driving capability. Measured results indicate that under a 2.5 V power supply, the analog baseband affords a wide range of automatic gain tuning from 10 to 57 dB across the full operating bandwidth (400 kHz–20 MHz). At the maximum gain, the circuit exhibits noise figures of 42.4 and 33.1 dB at 400 kHz and 20 MHz, respectively.
