Figure 1 As shown: IDU and ODU are connected by an RF cable. One IDU sends the transmit intermediate frequency (TX IF) signal to one ODU. The ODU processes the TX IF signal and then transmits it to the next ODU through an antenna.

[0041] Example Implementation

[0042] This invention relates to the field of communications, specifically to an intermediate frequency (IF) of a split-type digital microwave system communication device. In this embodiment, the communication device can arbitrarily select between two sets of IF frequencies.

[0043] For example, this embodiment includes the following structure:

[0044] The communication device in this embodiment includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, which are connected. The outdoor unit is connected to an antenna. The outdoor unit includes a switch unit, a control unit, and at least two signal processing units. Each signal processing unit processes a set of transmit and receive intermediate frequency (IF) signals, and different signal processing units process signals with different IF frequencies. The control unit sends a control signal to the switch unit to control one of the at least two signal processing units to connect between the indoor unit and the antenna. The signal processing units process the transmit and receive signals between the indoor unit and the antenna.

[0045] For example, the switching unit may include a first switch, wherein the first switch is disposed between a first end of the indoor unit and a first end of each of the at least two signal processing units, the first switch being used to receive a control signal sent by the control unit to enable a designated signal processing unit of the at least two signal processing units to connect between the indoor unit and the antenna.

[0046] Through the first switch, the controller can control which of the at least two signal processing units connects between the indoor unit and the antenna for signal processing. This improves the flexibility of the communication device, enabling it to process different sets of transmit and receive intermediate frequency (IF) signals, making it suitable for various application scenarios. Furthermore, since different signal processing units can process different sets of transmit and receive IF signals, and different sets of transmit and receive IF signals can correspond to different bandwidths, the communication device provided in this embodiment can also support different bandwidths.

[0047] For example, the N-type connectors of the IDU and ODU are connected via an RF cable.

[0048] For example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a signal processing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, each signal processing unit may include the following structure:

[0049] The IDU's transmit signal enters the ODU through an N-type connector, then passes through filter 1 (Multiplexer, MUX) to the transmit automatic gain control 12 to control the input intermediate frequency power. The transmit intermediate frequency upconverter 13 then converts the intermediate frequency signal to the transmit second intermediate frequency (generally 2G-4G). The output power is controlled by the variable gain amplifier 14. The transmit second intermediate frequency signal enters the microwave upconverter 15 to be converted to the microwave frequency. This microwave signal is amplified by the power amplifier 16 and then transmitted to the antenna end through the microwave duplexer 17.

[0050] The microwave signal received at the antenna end is input to the low-noise amplifier 18 through the microwave duplexer 17. The low-noise amplifier 18 transmits the microwave signal to the microwave downconverter 19. The microwave downconverter 19 converts the microwave signal to the receiving second intermediate frequency (typically 1G-3G). The receiving second intermediate frequency signal is controlled by the variable gain amplifier 20. The receiving second intermediate frequency signal enters the receiving intermediate frequency downconverter 21, which converts the receiving second intermediate frequency signal to the receiving intermediate frequency. The receiving intermediate frequency signal is further controlled by the receiving automatic gain control 22. The receiving intermediate frequency signal enters the MUX filter 1 and is transmitted to the IDU through the N-type connector 11. For example, four local oscillators can provide local oscillator signals to four mixers respectively. Specifically, the intermediate frequency transmitting local oscillator 3 provides a local oscillator signal to the transmitting intermediate frequency up-converter 13, the microwave transmitting local oscillator 4 provides a local oscillator signal to the microwave up-converter 15, the microwave receiving local oscillator 5 provides a local oscillator signal to the microwave down-converter 19, and the intermediate frequency receiving local oscillator 6 provides a local oscillator signal to the receiving intermediate frequency down-converter 21.

[0051] For example, this embodiment also provides a communication device. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it includes:

[0052] The unit consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. In the outdoor unit, three switches are added to the input and output terminals of the MUX filter to select and switch between MUX filter 1 and MUX filter 2 according to the different intermediate frequency of the IDU input.

[0053] Based on the IDU's transmit and receive intermediate frequency (IF) frequencies, switches 7, 8, and 9 select whether to switch to MUX filter 1 or MUX filter 2. The switching behavior of these three switches is consistent: if switched to MUX filter 1, all switches will switch to MUX filter 1; if switched to MUX filter 2, all switches will switch to MUX filter 2. If the IDU supports IF frequencies of 350MHz / 140MHz, all three switches will switch to MUX filter 1; if the IDU supports IF frequencies of 630MHz / 210MHz, all three switches will switch to MUX filter 2.

[0054] When the IDU transmission frequency is 350MHz, switch 7 switches to MUX filter 1, see... Figure 5 The 350MHz intermediate frequency signal enters switch 8 through the 350MHz transmission channel of MUX filter 1. At this time, switch 8 switches to MUX filter 1. The transmission intermediate frequency signal is controlled by the automatic gain control 12 to achieve input power control, and then enters the transmission intermediate frequency upconverter 13 to convert the 350MHz transmission intermediate frequency signal to the transmission second intermediate frequency (generally 2G-4G). Then, the output power is controlled by the variable gain amplifier 14. The transmission second intermediate frequency signal enters the microwave upconverter 15 to be converted to the microwave frequency. The microwave signal is amplified by the power amplifier 16 and then transmitted to the antenna end through the microwave duplexer 17. The microwave signal received at the antenna end is input to the low-noise amplifier 18 through the microwave duplexer 17. The low-noise amplifier 18 transmits the microwave signal to the microwave downconverter 19. The microwave downconverter 19 converts the microwave signal to the receiving second intermediate frequency (typically 1G-3G). The receiving second intermediate frequency signal is controlled by the variable gain amplifier 20. The receiving second intermediate frequency signal enters the receiving intermediate frequency downconverter 21, which converts the signal to a 140M intermediate frequency. The 140M intermediate frequency signal is further controlled by the receiving automatic gain control 22. The receiving 140M signal enters the switch 9. The switch 9 selects the MUX filter 1. The 140M received signal enters the switch 7 through the MUX filter 1, and then is sent to the IDU through the N-type connector 11.

[0055] When the IDU transmission frequency is 630MHz, switch 7 switches to MUX filter 2, see... Figure 3The 630M intermediate frequency signal enters the switch 8 through the 630M transmission channel of the MUX filter 2. At this time, the switch 8 switches to the MUX filter 2. The 630M transmission intermediate frequency signal is controlled by the automatic gain control 12 to achieve input power control. Then it enters the transmission intermediate frequency upconverter 13 to convert the 630M transmission intermediate frequency signal to the transmission second intermediate frequency (usually 2G-4G). Then the output power is controlled by the variable gain amplifier 14. The transmission second intermediate frequency signal enters the microwave upconverter 15 to be converted to the microwave frequency. The microwave signal is amplified by the power amplifier 16 and then transmitted to the antenna end through the microwave duplexer 17. The microwave signal received at the antenna end is input to the low-noise amplifier 18 through the microwave duplexer 17. The low-noise amplifier 18 transmits the microwave signal to the microwave downconverter 19. The microwave downconverter 19 converts the microwave signal to the receiving second intermediate frequency (typically 1G-3G). The receiving second intermediate frequency signal is controlled by the variable gain amplifier 20. The receiving second intermediate frequency signal enters the receiving intermediate frequency downconverter 21, which converts the signal to a 210M intermediate frequency. The 210M intermediate frequency signal is further controlled by the receiving automatic gain control 22. The receiving 210M signal enters the switch 9. The switch 9 selects the MUX filter 2. The 210M received signal enters the switch 7 through the MUX filter 2, and is then sent to the IDU through the N-type connector 11.

[0056] Four local oscillators provide local oscillator signals to four mixers: IF transmitter local oscillator 3 provides the signal to transmitter IF up-converter 13; microwave transmitter local oscillator 4 provides the signal to microwave up-converter 15; microwave receiver local oscillator 5 provides the signal to microwave down-converter 19; and IF receiver local oscillator 6 provides the signal to receiver IF down-converter 21. For transmission, when the transmitter IF frequency is 350MHz and 630MHz, the frequency of the transmitter local oscillator 3 varies to ensure that the output frequency of the transmitter IF up-converter 13 is the same for both 350MHz and 630MHz inputs. Similarly, the frequency of the microwave transmitter local oscillator 4 remains the same for both 350MHz and 630MHz inputs. For receiving, when the receiving intermediate frequency is 140M and 210M respectively, the frequency of the microwave receiving local oscillator 5 is the same to ensure that the output frequency of the microwave downconverter 19 is the same. The frequency of the intermediate frequency receiving local oscillator 6 is different to ensure that the output frequency of the receiving intermediate frequency downconverter 21 is 140M and 210M respectively.

[0057] For example, embodiments of the present invention are used in microwave point-to-point communication equipment, specifically in 6G to 42G microwave outdoor unit (ODU) products. Specific embodiments are as follows:

[0058] For example, when the IDU transmission frequency is 350MHz, switch 7 switches to MUX filter 1. The 350MHz intermediate frequency signal enters switch 8 through the 350MHz transmission channel of MUX filter 1. At this time, switch 8 switches to MUX filter 1, and the transmitted intermediate frequency signal passes through the transmission channel and is transmitted to the antenna end through microwave duplexer 17. The microwave signal received at the antenna end enters the receiving channel through microwave duplexer 17, where the signal is frequency-converted to 140MHz intermediate frequency. The received 140MHz signal enters switch 9, which selects MUX filter 1. The 140MHz signal passes through MUX filter 1 and enters switch 7, and then is sent to the IDU through N-type connector 11.

[0059] For example, when the IDU transmission frequency is 630MHz, switch 7 switches to MUX filter 2. The 630MHz intermediate frequency signal enters switch 8 through the 630MHz transmission channel of MUX filter 2. At this time, switch 8 switches to MUX filter 2, and the transmitted intermediate frequency signal passes through the transmission channel and is transmitted to the antenna end through microwave duplexer 17. The microwave signal received at the antenna end enters the receiving channel through microwave duplexer 17, where the signal is frequency-converted to 210MHz intermediate frequency. The received 210MHz signal enters switch 9, which selects MUX filter 2. The 210MHz signal passes through MUX filter 2 and enters switch 7, and then is sent to the IDU through N-type connector 11.

[0060] With the requirement for ODU support of a bandwidth of BW (bandwidth) = 224 MHz, the 350 MHz and 140 MHz intermediate frequency (IF) frequencies will not be able to meet this requirement. The reason is that the system has certain requirements for the transmit / receive suppression of the 350 MHz transmit and 140 MHz receive signals at the MUX filter 1. At a bandwidth of BW = 224 MHz, the transmit and receive signal frequencies partially overlap, and the MUX filter cannot meet the required transmit / receive suppression. Therefore, the maximum bandwidth supported by the 350 MHz and 140 MHz IF frequencies is BW = 112 MHz, which cannot support the bandwidth requirement of BW = 240 MHz. Therefore, a new set of IF frequencies is needed that can support a bandwidth of BW = 224 MHz while meeting the transmit / receive suppression requirements.

[0061] This embodiment proposes a new set of intermediate frequency (IF) frequencies: a transmitting IF of 630 MHz and a receiving IF of 210 MHz. This meets the bandwidth requirement of 224 MHz bandwidth (BW), solving the problem that traditional IF frequencies cannot support a BW of 224 MHz.

[0062] This embodiment allows users to freely choose between two intermediate frequencies: 630M / 210M and 350M / 140M. This ensures that the ODU can support both the older 350M / 140M intermediate frequency version of the IDU and the newer 630M / 210M version with a large bandwidth of BW=224M.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
