TDMA系統例如GSM850 / GSM900 / DCS1800 / PCS1900 行動電話網路已遍佈全世界。 關鍵工作是在設計一個能準確控制傳送射頻功率的系統。 其中的一種方法是使用射頻功率偵測器量測在天線端的射頻功率,利用此 射頻功率偵測器將對數射頻功率信號轉換成相對應直流的電壓。然後運用 一個增益控制系統來校準放大器射頻功率,如此獲得最佳的通訊條件。 這篇研究是使用 0.25um CMOS 製程為TDMA GSM系統實現一個射頻功率偵測的方法。其輸入是一個單端輸入,輸出信號亦是單端輸出。GSM 射頻功率信號是從824 ~849MHz,880 ~915MHz,1710 ~1785MHz,1850 ~191MHz頻率範圍,另外系統至少要有50 dB的動態功率操作範圍。 輸出信號是一個正比於對數射頻功率 (dBm) 的直流電壓。與理想對數曲線最大差小於1dB。 對溫度的最大的變化量亦小於1dB。
TDMA systems have been covered the whole world, e.g. the GSM850/GSM900/GSM1800/GSM1900 cellular phone network. One key task is the design of a circuitry for accurate control of transmit power. One method for RF power control in a mobile communications handset is to use a power detector to measure the RF power at the antenna during transmit and produce a voltage that corresponds to the logarithmic of the power. A gain control system may then adjust the amplifier stages to obtain optimal communication conditions. The task of this thesis was to implement a RF power detector for TDMA system in a 0.25 um CMOS process. The input is a single-ended, GSM RF signal is a frequencies ranging from 824~849MHz, 880~915MHz, 1710~1785MHz, 1850~191MHz, with a dynamic range of –36 t0 20dBm. The output signal is a single-ended voltage being proportional to the applied input power in dBm. Maximum deviation of the ideal logarithmic curve should be no more than 1dB. Maximum variation between 25℃ and –10/55℃ should be no more than 1dB.
