[0002] With the rapid development of China's railways, transponders, as train transmission equipment, require increasingly higher levels of safety and reliability. The BTM (balise transmission module) consists of two parts: the BTM main unit and the antenna unit. The BTM main unit includes a power board, a transmitter board, a receiver board, a decoder board, a communication board, and a recording board. The transmitter board is connected to the antenna unit via a D-cable and to the receiver board via a pull-up cable.

The center frequency of the BTM's uplink signal is 4.234MHz ± 175kHz, with a frequency deviation of ± 282kHz. When a "0" is received, a modulated signal with a carrier frequency of 3.948MHz is transmitted; when a "1" is received, a modulated signal with a carrier frequency of 4.512MHz is transmitted to modulate the FSK.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] The present application does not solve the above background technical problems, and a three-order band-pass filter circuit is designed, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 A three-order band-pass filter circuit principle diagram, combined with Figure 2The diagram illustrates the circuit division of a third-order bandpass filter circuit. The filter circuit includes a first-order circuit, a second-order circuit, and a third-order circuit, which are connected in series. The first-order circuit filters out interference signals outside the specified passband. The second-order circuit increases the stopband rejection and passband flatness of the filter circuit. The third-order circuit further increases the stopband rejection. One end of the first-order circuit and one end of the third-order circuit are connected to the two ends of the second-order circuit, respectively. The other ends of the first-order circuit and the third-order circuit are both grounded.

[0040] This bandpass filter circuit has two passbands: one with a center frequency of 3.9MHz and a bandwidth of 0.34MHz, and the other with a center frequency of 4.5MHz and a bandwidth of 0.35MHz. Compared to the original filter circuit on the receiver board, it has a narrower passband bandwidth, a stopband attenuation of less than -50dB, and better suppression performance. After receiving the signal, this filter circuit removes interference signals other than the two passbands. The narrower the passband bandwidth, the more interference signals are filtered out, facilitating better demodulation of the FSK signal by the receiver board.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first-order circuit includes a first-order first branch, a second-order first branch, a third-order first branch, and a fourth-order first branch, with the four branches connected in parallel sequentially.

The capacitors and inductors in the first-order circuit form two passbands of a filter through series and parallel connection. In a complex electromagnetic environment, many noise signals are received by the BTM antenna. The correct signals mixed with the noise signals pass through the first-order circuit, and the filtered signals in the frequency bands of 3.914 MHz to 4.073 MHz and 4.476 MHz to 4.627 MHz enter the second-order circuit.

The ground signal filtered out from the first-order circuit is further filtered out by the second-order circuit to remove irrelevant signals.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The third-order circuit includes a third-order first branch, a third-order second branch, a third-order third branch, and a third-order fourth branch, with the four branches connected in parallel sequentially.
