[0054] The transmit / receive switch is used to switch between the receiving and transmitting states in response to a switching signal.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the receiving channel module captures and converts the external RF input signal. The module can accurately receive the RF signals from the air and convert these RF signals into intermediate frequency signals suitable for subsequent processing through internal signal conditioning circuits and mixers and other components, which not only reduces the frequency of the signal but also improves the stability and anti-interference ability of the signal.

[0060] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2The schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the receiving channel module provided by the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving channel module further includes: an input power detection circuit, a filter group, a frequency conversion filter circuit and a LINK16 receiving circuit; the input power detection circuit is connected to the filter group and the LINK16 receiving circuit respectively; the LINK16 receiving circuit is also connected to the frequency conversion filter circuit;

[0061] Wherein, the input power detection circuit is used to detect the initial power of the RF input signal;

[0062] The filter group is used to filter the RF input signal after detection;

[0063] The frequency conversion filter circuit is used to convert and filter the filtered radio frequency input signal into a first intermediate frequency signal;

[0064] The LINK16 receiving circuit is used to convert the detected RF input signal into a second intermediate frequency signal through frequency conversion and filtering.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the main task of the input power detection circuit is to detect the initial power of the RF input signal, which can help the device understand the strength of the input signal, thereby providing necessary reference information for subsequent signal conditioning and filtering. Through the detected power information, the device can dynamically adjust the gain and filtering parameters of the receiving channel to ensure the stability and accuracy of the signal in subsequent processing.

[0066] The filter group is responsible for filtering the RF input signal after detection. By adjusting the center frequency and bandwidth of the filter, the filter group can effectively filter out the interference components and noise in the signal, improve the signal purity and signal-to-noise ratio, and enable the receiving channel module to adapt to the needs of different frequency bands and communication environments, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0067] The frequency conversion filter circuit converts the filtered RF input signal into a first intermediate frequency signal by frequency conversion and filtering. By reducing the frequency of the signal, the subsequent signal processing process is simplified and the signal stability and anti-interference ability are improved. At the same time, the frequency conversion filter circuit further improves the signal purity and signal-to-noise ratio through precise filtering design.

[0068] The LINK16 receiving circuit is specially used to perform frequency conversion and filtering on the detected RF input signal and convert it into a second intermediate frequency signal. LINK16 is a high-performance communication protocol that requires the receiving end to have highly sensitive and stable signal processing capabilities. Therefore, the design of the LINK16 receiving circuit adopts signal processing technology to ensure stable reception and processing of signals in complex communication environments, which not only improves the communication performance of the device, but also provides strong hardware support for the application of the LINK16 communication protocol.

[0069] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of an input power detection circuit provided by the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the input power detection circuit further includes: a limiter, a directional coupler, a logarithmic amplifier, a switch switching control circuit, a first low noise amplifier, a first low pass filter, a first attenuator, a first radio frequency switch, and a second radio frequency switch;

[0071] In the above embodiment, the limiter can protect subsequent circuits from being damaged by excessive RF input signals. When the power of the RF input signal exceeds a certain threshold, the limiter will limit the amplitude of the signal to ensure that it will not damage subsequent components such as the directional coupler and logarithmic amplifier, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire input power detection circuit.

[0072] The directional coupler is responsible for extracting a portion of the energy from the RF input signal and transmitting it to the logarithmic amplifier for detection processing, ensuring that the input power detection circuit can accurately detect the power of the RF input signal. At the same time, the directional coupler also has a certain degree of isolation, which can prevent the detection processing from interfering with the RF input signal.

[0073] The logarithmic amplifier can convert the RF signal transmitted by the directional coupler into a voltage signal in the logarithmic domain, thereby realizing accurate detection of the RF input signal power. The logarithmic amplifier uses logarithmic conversion technology to ensure the accuracy and stability of the detection results.

[0074] The switch switching control circuit controls the switching state of the first RF switch and the second RF switch according to the output result of the logarithmic amplifier. When the power of the RF input signal is large, the switch switching control circuit will switch to the first RF switch, so that the signal is amplified by the first low noise amplifier; when the power of the RF input signal is small, it will switch to the second RF switch, so that the signal is attenuated by the first attenuator. It ensures that the input power detection circuit can flexibly adjust the signal processing path according to different RF input signal powers, thereby improving the dynamic range and adaptability of the device.

[0075] The first low noise amplifier amplifies the radio frequency signal transmitted through the first radio frequency switch and adopts a low noise design, which can effectively reduce noise interference during the amplification process and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal, so that the input power detection circuit can work stably in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment.

[0076] The first low-pass filter performs filtering processing on the signal amplified by the first low-noise amplifier, and can filter out high-frequency interference components in the signal, improve the purity and stability of the signal, and further enhance the anti-interference ability of the input power detection circuit.

[0077] The first attenuator attenuates the RF signal transmitted through the second RF switch. When the power of the RF input signal is small, the first attenuator can reduce the amplitude of the signal to adapt it to the processing range of the subsequent circuit, ensuring that the input power detection circuit can process RF input signals of different power ranges.

[0078] The first RF switch and the second RF switch are respectively used to control the path of the RF signal passing through the first low noise amplifier or the first attenuator. They are switched according to the control signal of the switch switching control circuit, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the RF input signal power and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the input power detection circuit.

[0083] The output end of each third RF switch is connected to a first cavity filter to filter out interference components and noise in the RF signal and improve the signal purity and signal-to-noise ratio. The first cavity filter adopts a high-performance cavity structure with excellent filtering performance and stability, ensuring that the LINK16 receiving circuit can stably receive and process signals in a complex communication environment.

[0084] The RF signal after filtering by the first cavity filter is transmitted to multiple first amplifiers for amplification processing. The first amplifier adopts a low-noise, high-gain design, which can effectively improve the signal power and signal-to-noise ratio, and provide a reliable signal source for subsequent signal processing.

[0085] The plurality of fourth RF switches are respectively connected to the output ends of the plurality of first amplifiers, and are used to control the switching of the amplified RF signals into different subsequent processing paths, thereby realizing the flexible adjustment of the signal processing path.

The filter in the filter amplifier circuit adopts a high-performance filtering design, which can accurately filter out the interference components and noise within the specified frequency range. At the same time, the amplifier part adopts a high-gain, low-noise design to ensure that the signal power and signal-to-noise ratio reach the best state.

The filters in the frequency filter group use high-performance filtering technology and combining design, which can accurately control the spectrum characteristics of the RF output signal. By adjusting the parameters of the filter (such as frequency, bandwidth, etc.), the frequency filter group can achieve precise control of the RF output signal to meet the different application scenarios and communication protocol requirements of the device.
