Method for constructing radio frequency front end of multi-mode multi-band satellite navigation receiver and module thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a configurable multi-mode multi-band satellite navigation receiving method and a radio frequency front end module constructed by the method. The front end module can receive signals of satellite navigation and positioning systems such as a global positioning system (GPS), the Big Dipper, a Galileo positioning system and a global navigation satellite system (Glonass), and comprises a configurable low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a buffer and an active balun, a folding passive mixer with a configurable frequency synthesizer, a configurable multi-mode filter, an automatic gain control (AGC) amplifier, a direct-current bias circuit, and a multi-mode multi-band program controlled and coded on-off control word from a receiving system. The radio frequency front end module can meet the requirement of multi-band multi-mode work through the control word programmed by the receiving system, has a simple and reliable structure, does not need complicated time division multiplexing control system and off-chip module, has low cost and high flexibility, and improves the noise performance of the radio frequency front end of the whole receiver and multi-mode multi-band signal processing capacity; and a one-channel signal is input into the module, and the module outputs a two-channel differential signal. The receiver can be used for receiving and processing multi-mode satellite navigation signals asynchronously, and receiving and processing satellite navigation signals with the required mode in different time intervals according to the requirement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless radio frequency communication, and relates to a radio frequency front-end circuit of a satellite navigation receiver, in particular to a radio frequency front-end construction method of a multi-mode and multi-band satellite navigation receiver and a module thereof.

Problems solved by technology

However, the realization of the function of the multi-mode receiving front-end chip must be equipped with multiple low-noise amplifiers / mixers and a multi-mode control logic management module. The system circuit is more complicated, which increases the circuit chip area.

[0006] Obviously, the implementation methods of RF front-end solutions in the prior art generally have defects such as complex circuit structure, high technical difficulty, large circuit scale, and the need for off-chip support accessories, which directly affect the integration.
