Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wireless signal and energy simultaneous transmission, and in particular relates to a frequency mixing and rectification device, method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, wireless simultaneous signal transmission technology uses electromagnetic waves to simultaneously transmit electrical energy and information from a transmitter to a receiver, which then processes the energy and information. This technology not only addresses the safety risks associated with traditional wire-powered power supply technology, such as the need to drag cables, frequent movement between power supply and user devices, frequent plugging and unplugging of power sockets, and aging lines, but also allows for the simultaneous transmission of effective control information. Therefore, this technology can be applied in a variety of situations. For example, some implanted devices, while functioning normally within the body, also need to transmit information about certain organs within the human body to the outside world. Doctors can use this information to understand the patient's physical condition and adjust medication for them. In smart homes, it can not only deliver energy to various electrical devices, but also promptly transmit indoor information (such as temperature and humidity) to the control system, making the home environment more comfortable and safer.
[0003] Among them, in the receiver of simultaneous transmission, the extraction of energy and information is crucial. The extraction of energy is mainly achieved through the rectifier circuit, and the extraction of information is generally achieved by down-converting the high-frequency signal to the low-frequency band through the mixer, and then performing subsequent signal demodulation, such as Figure 1 Therefore, the design of the rectifier circuit and mixer is very necessary.
[0004] In the current wireless signal-to-energy transmission system, after the receiver receives the radio frequency energy signal carrying information, it first divides the signal into two paths through a power splitter or coupler and inputs them into the rectifier circuit and mixer respectively. The design of the rectifier circuit and the mixer are both designed separately, the system integration is not high, and the structure is complex. Figure 1 shown. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0044] 1. Explanatory Examples In order to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand how to implement the present invention, this section provides an illustrative example that expands upon the technical solutions of the claims.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the structure of the overall circuit of the present invention and its working principle are further described in detail. The circuit of the present invention includes: a power distribution / synthesis module, a matching network, a mixing and rectification module, a harmonic suppression network, an intermediate frequency filter, and a narrowband low-pass filter. Among them:
[0046] The main purpose of the power distribution / combination module is to output the input high-power RF signal and the low-power local oscillator signal through one channel. Any of a coupler, power splitter, combiner, or duplexer can be used. In the embodiment of the present invention, the power distribution / combination module can be implemented by a coupler, which is mainly provided with three ports: a high-power RF input port ①, a low-power local oscillator input port ②, and a RF local oscillator output port ③. The RF local oscillator output port ③ is connected to a matching network.
[0047] The main purpose of the matching network is to achieve input impedance matching so that as much energy as possible is transferred to the subsequent circuit. This can be achieved by using a circuit composed of a DC blocking capacitor in series with a microstrip line or an LC matching circuit. In an embodiment of the present invention, the matching network can be implemented by a circuit composed of a DC blocking capacitor in series with a microstrip line, with one end of the matching network connected to the RF local oscillator output port and the other end connected to the mixer rectifier module;
[0048] The main purpose of the mixer-rectifier module is to generate the required DC and intermediate frequency components as well as the unwanted fundamental wave, higher harmonics, and intermodulation components of various orders. This is typically achieved using components with nonlinear effects, such as diodes and transistors. This can be achieved by connecting one or more nonlinear components in series or in parallel, or by combining nonlinear components with microstrip lines. In an embodiment of the present invention, the mixer-rectifier module is implemented by connecting a series diode and a parallel diode using a microstrip line. One end of the mixer-rectifier module is connected to a matching network, and the other end is connected to a harmonic suppression network.
[0049] The main purpose of the harmonic suppression network is to filter out the output clutter of the mixer and rectifier module and to re-rectify and re-mix the fundamental wave and higher harmonics. This network can be implemented using a structure composed of high-frequency lumped elements, a microstrip line structure, or a structure composed of a microstrip line and a cascade of high-frequency lumped elements. In the embodiment of the present invention, the harmonic suppression network is implemented using a microstrip line structure. One end of the harmonic suppression network is connected to the mixer and rectifier module, and the other end is connected to an intermediate frequency filter and a narrowband low-pass filter in two ways.
[0050] The main purpose of the intermediate frequency filter is to extract the required intermediate frequency component, which can be implemented using a microstrip line structure, an LC filter circuit, or a microstrip line cascaded LC element structure. In the embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate frequency filter is implemented by an LC filter circuit, one end of the intermediate frequency filter is connected to the harmonic suppression network, and the other end is connected to the intermediate frequency output terminal;
[0051] The narrowband low-pass filter's primary purpose is to smooth the DC output waveform, forming a low-pass filter with a low cutoff frequency that extracts only the DC component. This filter can be implemented using a microstrip structure, an LC filter circuit, or a microstrip line cascaded with LC elements. In this embodiment of the present invention, the narrowband low-pass filter is implemented using an LC filter circuit. One end of the narrowband low-pass filter is connected to a harmonic suppression network, and the other end is connected to a load.
[0052] The embodiments and effects of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the working principle of the present invention.
[0053] After the input high-power RF signal and low-power local oscillator signal pass through the power distribution / synthesis module, they enter the mixing and rectification module from one output through the matching network to obtain the required DC and intermediate frequency components and the unnecessary fundamental wave, higher harmonics and various-order intermodulation components. After filtering by the harmonic suppression network, the main outputs are intermediate frequency components and DC components. One end of the intermediate frequency component and DC component is filtered by the intermediate frequency filter to output the intermediate frequency component, and the other end is filtered by the narrowband low-pass filter to output the DC component to the load, completing the rectification and mixing functions.
