Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device including a radio frequency component. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, due to differences in process and location, multiple transmission paths between multiple components in an electronic device may have impedance mismatch problems. For example, the electronic device is an antenna device, and multiple transmission paths between multiple different / same components in the antenna device (such as between an antenna element and a radio frequency element, between a power divider and a radio frequency element, between two power dividers, etc.) will have different impedance differences (i.e., the difference between output impedance and input impedance), resulting in inconsistent amplitude and / or phase of the radio frequency signal at various locations in the antenna device. The greater the impedance difference, the greater the reflected signal generated by the radio frequency signal in the transmission path, which affects the performance of the antenna device. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present disclosure is directed to an electronic device capable of matching the impedance of a transmission path between an electronic component and a radio frequency component.

[0004] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device includes a substrate, a radio frequency element, a first electronic element, a first coupler, a detector, a controller, and a first impedance matching circuit. The radio frequency element is disposed on the substrate. The first electronic element is disposed on the substrate and is electrically connected to the radio frequency element. The first coupler is disposed on the substrate. The first coupler receives a first coupled output signal generated by the radio frequency element in response to a first input coupled signal and receives a second coupled output signal generated by the first electronic element in response to a second input coupled signal. The detector is disposed on the substrate. The detector is electrically connected to the first coupler. The detector generates a determination signal based on the first coupled output signal and the second coupled output signal. The controller is disposed outside the substrate and is electrically connected to the detector. The controller generates a control signal based on the determination signal. The first impedance matching circuit is disposed on the substrate and is electrically connected to the controller. The first impedance matching circuit provides an impedance of a transmission path between the radio frequency element and the first electronic element in response to the control signal.

[0005] Based on the above, the electronic device generates a determination signal according to the first coupled output signal and the second coupled output signal, and generates a control signal according to the determination signal. Therefore, the first impedance matching circuit responds to the control signal to provide the impedance of the transmission path between the RF component and the first electronic component. In this way, the impedance of the transmission path between the RF component and the first electronic component can be matched. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0067] It should be noted that the technical features in the different embodiments described below may be replaced, reorganized or mixed with each other to constitute another embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 includes a substrate SB, a radio frequency element 110, electronic elements 120_1-120_4, couplers 130_1-130_4, a detector 140, a controller 150, and impedance matching circuits 160_1-160_4. The radio frequency element 110, the electronic elements 120_1-120_4, the couplers 130_1-130_4, the detector 140, and the impedance matching circuits 160_1-160_4 are disposed on the substrate SB. The controller 150 is disposed outside the substrate SB. The electronic elements 120_1-120_4 are electrically connected to the radio frequency element 110. The couplers 130_1-130_4 are electrically connected to the detector 140. The couplers 130_1-130_4 are electrically connected to the electronic elements 120_1-120_4 in a one-to-one manner. For example, the coupler 130_1 is electrically connected to the electronic component 120_1 , the coupler 130_2 is electrically connected to the electronic component 120_2 , and so on. The controller 150 is electrically connected to the detector 140 and the impedance matching circuits 160_1 ˜ 160_4 .

[0069] The impedance matching circuit 160_1 is electrically connected to the transmission path P1 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_1. The impedance matching circuit 160_2 is electrically connected to the transmission path P2 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_2, and so on. Taking the coupler 130_1 as an example, the coupler 130_1 is electrically connected to the electronic component 120_1. The coupler 130_1 generates a first coupled output signal SR1 in response to the first input coupled signal SIN1. The coupler 130_1 generates a second coupled output signal SR2 in response to the second input coupled signal SIN2. The detector 140 receives the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2 from the coupler 130_1. The detector 140 generates a first determination signal SD1 according to the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2. The controller 150 generates a first control signal SC1 according to the first determination signal SD1. The impedance matching circuit 160_1 provides an impedance of a transmission path P1 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_1 in response to the control signal SC1 .

[0070] It is worth mentioning here that the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2 can be associated with the path impedance between the electronic component 120_1 and the coupler 130_1 and the path impedance between the RF component 110 and the coupler 130_1. The electronic device 100 generates a determination signal SD1 according to the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2, and generates a control signal SC1 according to the first determination signal SD1. Therefore, the impedance matching circuit 160_1 can respond to the first control signal SC1 to provide the impedance of the transmission path P1 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_1. In this way, based on the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2, the impedance of the transmission path P1 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_1 can be matched.

[0071] In this embodiment, the RF element 110 can receive a RF input signal RFIN. The RF element 110 adjusts the RF input signal RFIN and provides the adjusted RF input signal to the plurality of electronic components 120_1 and 120_2. For example, the RF element 110 can adjust at least one of the amplitude, frequency, and phase of the RF input signal RFIN.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the distribution of radio frequency components and multiple electronic components. Figure 2 The electronic device 10 may be suitable for Figure 1 The electronic device 10 is provided with a matching operation. Figure 1 The electronic components 120_1 to 120_4 may be, for example, Figure 2 electronic components 12 (such as, one of the antenna components 120 and the power divider 121 (power divider)), but not limited thereto. It should be noted that the multiple transmission paths between the multiple electronic components 12 and the multiple RF components 11 located at different positions or the multiple transmission paths between the multiple electronic components 12 will have different impedance differences (i.e., the difference between the output impedance and the input impedance). In the electronic device 10, the greater the above-mentioned impedance difference, the greater the reflected signal generated by the RF signal in the transmission path. In this embodiment, the impedance matching circuits 160_1~160_4 respond to the impedance provided in the multiple transmission paths to reduce the impedance difference of the multiple transmission paths, so that the electronic device has better performance.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic components include active components and passive components on the transmission path, such as chips, diodes, transistors, etc. The controller 150 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), or other programmable general-purpose or special-purpose microprocessors (Microprocessors), digital signal processors (Digital Signal Processors, DSPs), programmable controllers, application-specific integrated circuits (Application Specific Integrated Circuits, ASICs), programmable logic devices (Programmable Logic Devices, PLDs) or other similar devices or combinations of these devices, which can load and execute computer programs.

[0074] In the present embodiment, the coupler 130_1 includes connection points D1 to D4. During the first matching period, the detector 140 may provide a first input coupling signal SIN1. During the first matching period, the coupler 130_1 receives the first input coupling signal SIN1 through the connection point D1. The coupler 130_1 shunts the first input coupling signal SIN1 to generate a first coupling output signal SR1 and a coupling signal SCP1. The coupler 130_1 provides the first coupling output signal SR1 to the detector 140 through the connection point D3. The coupler 130_1 provides the coupling signal SCP1 to the electronic component 120_1 through the connection point D4. The shunt ratio between the first coupling output signal SR1 and the coupling signal SCP1 is determined according to the impedance ratio of the connection points D3 and D4 located at the coupler 130_1. Therefore, during the first matching period, the value of the first coupling output signal SR1 can reflect the impedance ratio of the connection points D3 and D4 located at the coupler 130_1.

[0075] During the second matching period, the detector 140 may provide a second input coupling signal SIN2. The first input coupling signal SIN1 is the same as the second input coupling signal SIN2. During the second matching period, the coupler 130_1 receives the second input coupling signal SIN2 through the connection point D3. The coupler 130_1 shunts the first input coupling signal SIN2 to generate a second coupling output signal SR2 and a coupling signal SCP2. The coupler 130_1 provides the first coupling output signal SR1 to the detector 140 through the connection point D1. The coupler 130_1 provides the coupling signal SCP2 to the RF element 110 through the connection point D2. The shunt ratio between the second coupling output signal SR2 and the coupling signal SCP2 is determined according to the impedance ratio of the connection points D1 and D2 located at the coupler 130_1. Therefore, during the second matching period, the value of the second coupling output signal SR2 can reflect the impedance ratio of the connection points D1 and D2 located at the coupler 130_1.

[0076] The first matching period is different from the second matching period. For example, the first matching period is earlier than the second matching period. For example, the first matching period is later than the second matching period. Coupler 130_1 can control the connection between connection points D1 to D4. During the first matching period, coupler 130_1 can connect connection points D1, D3, and D4 together. During the second matching period, coupler 130_1 can connect connection points D1, D2, and D3 together. During normal operation, coupler 130_1 can connect connection points D2 and D4 together.

[0077] In the present embodiment, the detector 140 generates the first determination signal SD1 according to the difference between the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2. The difference may be, for example, the difference between the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2 (SR1-SR2), the difference between the second coupled output signal SR2 and the first coupled output signal SR1 (SR2-SR1), the ratio between the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2 (SR1 / SR2), or the ratio between the second coupled output signal SR2 and the first coupled output signal SR1 (SR2 / SR1), but is not limited thereto. For example, at a frequency (for example, the center frequency of the electronic device / antenna device), the detector 140 may generate the first determination signal SD1 according to at least one value of the amplitude difference, voltage difference, and phase difference between the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2. The controller 150 receives the first determination signal SD1 and determines the first determination signal SD1. When the first determination signal SD1 indicates that the difference between the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2 is greater than or equal to the threshold VT, this indicates that the impedance of the transmission path P1 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_1 is obviously mismatched (i.e., the input impedance of the electronic component 120_1 is obviously different from the output impedance of the electronic component 120_1). Therefore, the controller 150 changes the first control signal SC1, so that the first impedance matching circuit 160_1 changes the impedance of the transmission path P1 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_1 according to the first control signal SC1.

[0078] On the other hand, when the first determination signal SD1 indicates that the difference between the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2 is less than the threshold VT, this indicates that the impedance of the transmission path P1 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_1 is matched (i.e., the input impedance of the electronic component 120_1 is significantly the same as or similar to the output impedance of the electronic component 120_1). Therefore, the controller 150 does not change the first control signal SC1.

[0079] Taking the coupler 130_2 as an example, the coupler 130_2 is electrically connected to the electronic component 120_2. The coupler 130_2 generates a third coupled output signal SR3 in response to the third input coupled signal SIN3. The coupler 130_1 generates a fourth coupled output signal SR4 in response to the fourth input coupled signal SIN4. The detector 140 receives the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4 from the coupler 130_1. The detector 140 generates a second determination signal SD2 based on the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4. The controller 150 generates a second control signal SC2 based on the second determination signal SD2. The impedance matching circuit 160_2 provides an impedance of a transmission path P2 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_2 in response to the second control signal SC2.

[0080] In this embodiment, similar to the coupler 130_1, the coupler 130_2 includes connection points D1 to D4. During the third matching period, the detector 140 can provide a third input coupling signal SIN3. During the third matching period, the coupler 130_2 receives the third input coupling signal SIN3 through the connection point D1. The coupler 130_2 shunts the first input coupling signal SIN3 to generate a third coupling output signal SR3 and a coupling signal SCP3. The coupler 130_2 provides the first coupling output signal SR3 to the detector 140 through the connection point D3. The coupler 130_2 provides the coupling signal SCP3 to the electronic component 120_2 through the connection point D4. The shunt ratio between the third coupling output signal SR3 and the coupling signal SCP3 is determined according to the impedance ratio of the connection points D3 and D4 located at the coupler 130_2. Therefore, during the third matching period, the value of the third coupling output signal SR3 can reflect the impedance ratio of the connection points D3 and D4 located at the coupler 130_2.

[0081] During the fourth matching period, the detector 140 may provide a fourth input coupling signal SIN4. The third input coupling signal SIN3 is the same as the fourth input coupling signal SIN4. During the fourth matching period, the coupler 130_1 shunts the fourth input coupling signal SIN4 to generate a fourth coupling output signal SR4 and a coupling signal SCP4. The coupler 130_2 provides the fourth coupling output signal SR4 to the detector 140 through the connection point D1. The coupler 130_2 provides the coupling signal SCP4 to the RF element 110 through the connection point D2. The shunt ratio between the fourth coupling output signal SR4 and the coupling signal SCP4 is determined according to the impedance ratio of the connection points D1 and D2 located at the coupler 130_2. Therefore, during the fourth matching period, the value of the fourth coupling output signal SR4 can reflect the impedance ratio of the connection points D1 and D2 located at the coupler 130_2.

[0082] The third matching period is different from the fourth matching period. For example, the third matching period is earlier than the fourth matching period. For example, the third matching period is later than the fourth matching period. In addition, the third matching period is the same as or different from the first matching period. The fourth matching period is the same as or different from the second matching period.

[0083] The coupler 130_2 may control the connection between the connection points D1 to D4. During the third matching period, the coupler 130_2 may connect the connection points D1, D3, and D4 together. During the fourth matching period, the coupler 130_2 may connect the connection points D1, D2, and D3 together. During normal operation, the coupler 130_2 may connect the connection points D2 and D4 together.

[0084] In the present embodiment, the detector 140 generates the second determination signal SD2 according to the difference between the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4. The difference may be, for example, the difference between the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4 (SR3-SR4), the difference between the fourth coupled output signal SR4 and the third coupled output signal SR3 (SR4-SR3), the ratio between the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4 (SR3 / SR4), or the ratio between the fourth coupled output signal SR4 and the third coupled output signal SR3 (SR4 / SR3), but is not limited thereto. For example, at a frequency (for example, the center frequency of the electronic device / antenna device), the detector 140 may generate the second determination signal SD2 according to at least one value of the amplitude difference, voltage difference, and phase difference between the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4. The controller 150 determines the second determination signal SD2. When the second determination signal SD2 indicates that the difference between the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4 is greater than the threshold VT, this indicates that the impedance of the transmission path P2 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_2 is obviously mismatched (i.e., the input impedance of the electronic component 120_2 is obviously different from the output impedance of the electronic component 120_2). Therefore, the controller 150 changes the second control signal SC2, so that the impedance matching circuit 160_2 changes the impedance of the transmission path P2 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_2 according to the second control signal SC2.

[0085] On the other hand, when the first determination signal SD1 indicates that the difference between the third coupled output signal SR3 and the fourth coupled output signal SR4 is less than or equal to the threshold VT, this indicates that the impedance of the transmission path P2 between the RF component 110 and the electronic component 120_2 is matched (i.e., the input impedance of the electronic component 120_2 is significantly the same as or similar to the output impedance of the electronic component 120_2). Therefore, the controller 150 does not change the second control signal SC2.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first input coupling signal SIN1, the second input coupling signal SIN2, the third input coupling signal SIN3, the fourth input coupling signal SIN4, the first coupling output signal SR1, the second coupling output signal SR2, the third coupling output signal SR3 and the fourth coupling output signal SR4 are RF signals. The first control signal SC1 and the second control signal SC2 each include at least one DC signal (e.g., a DC voltage signal).

[0087] In this embodiment, the operations of the couplers 130_3 , 130_4 and the impedance matching circuits 160_3 , 160_4 may be similar to the operations of the couplers 130_1 , 130_2 and the impedance matching circuits 160_1 , 160_2 , and thus will not be repeated here.

[0088] For ease of description, this embodiment is illustrated by one RF element 110, four electronic elements 120_1-120_4, four couplers 130_1-130_4 and one detector 140. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the number of RF elements, electronic elements, couplers and detectors can be one or more.

In some embodiments, the detector 240_1 is at least connected to the couplers 230_1 and 230_2 in a corresponding manner (e.g. Figure 1 For example, the detector 240_1 may also transmit the third input coupling signal SIN3 and the fourth input coupling signal SIN4 to the coupler 230_2, and receive the third coupling output signal SR3 and the fourth coupling output signal SR4 from the coupler 230_2. The detector 240_1 may also generate a second determination signal SD2 according to the third coupling output signal SR3 and the fourth coupling output signal SR4, and provide the second determination signal SD2 to the controller 250.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 , Figure 7is an operation flow chart according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the operation process S100 includes steps S110 to S160. The controller 250 receives a determination signal (e.g., a first determination signal SD1) from a detector (e.g., a detector 240_1) in step S110, and determines in step S120 whether the difference between the two coupled output signals received by the detector (e.g., the difference between the first coupled output signal SR1 and the second coupled output signal SR2 received by the detector 240_1) is less than a threshold value VT according to the determination signal (e.g., the first determination signal SD1). When the difference is less than the threshold value VT, the controller 250 determines in step S130 whether the current detection position (e.g., the range detected by the detector) is the last detection position. When the current detection position is the last detection position, the operation process S100 ends. When the current detection position is not the last detection position, the next detection position is selected and the operation returns to step S110.

[0123] In step S120, when the difference degree is greater than or equal to the threshold value VT, the controller 250 provides the switch control signal SSW1 and adjusts the impedance control signals SZ1_1~SZ3_1 in step S140, and determines again in step S150 whether the difference degree is less than the threshold value VT. When the difference degree is still greater than or equal to the threshold value VT, the controller 250 provides the switch control signal SSW1 again in step S140 and adjusts the impedance control signals SZ1_1~SZ3_1 different from the previous one. When the difference degree is less than the threshold value VT, it means that the previous adjustment has matched the impedance of the transmission path P1. Therefore, the controller 250 provides the switch control signal SSW1 and provides the adjusted impedance control signals SZ1_1~SZ3_1 in step S160. Next, the controller 250 enters the operation of step S130.
