Abstract

Abstract

With the progress of modern communication technology, especially the rapid development of 4G, 5G and other wireless mobile communications, modulation methods with high spectrum efficiency such as multi-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) have been widely used, which puts forward higher and stricter linear requirements for wireless communication systems. The Radio Frequency Low Noise Amplifier(RF LNA)is the first active device of the RF Front-End Module(RF FEM), and the signal quality and dynamic range of the system are directly affected by the the nonlinear characteristics of the LNA. Taking the 3^rd-order intermodulation as an example, a sufficient input 3^rd-order intercept point is required in LNA to ensure expected performance even with strong interfering signals. Based on the 3^rd-order nonlinear model, in this article, the theoretical model of the 3^rd-order intermodulation is analyzed briefly, the methods to improve the 3^rd-order intercept point are sorted out, the relevant research results and progress in recent years are summarized and studied , and the future development trend is prospected.
