DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0071] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0072] Figure 1 The structure of a wireless tag device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes an antenna module 11, a tag information module 12 and a frequency conversion module 13. The antenna module 11, the tag information module 12 and the frequency conversion module 13 are electrically connected in pairs. The antenna module 11 is configured to receive a first frequency ( f in ) and sending a first microwave signal with a second frequency ( f out ); the tag information module 12 is configured to send a tag signal to the frequency conversion module 13 under the drive of the first microwave signal; the frequency conversion module 13 is configured to generate a second microwave signal carrying tag information according to the first microwave signal and the tag signal, or is configured to generate a second microwave signal carrying tag information according to the tag signal. The aforementioned tag signal is a signal including tag information.
[0073] In practical applications, the aforementioned tag information includes identity information and / or sensor information.
[0074] When working, the remote transceiver sends a continuous wave excitation signal with a first frequency, that is, a first microwave signal, and the antenna module 11 receives the first microwave signal in the free space, and transmits the first microwave signal to the tag information module 12 and the frequency conversion module 13 respectively; for the tag information module 12, after receiving the first microwave signal, it converts the first microwave signal into direct current, and the direct current provides power for the power-consuming devices (such as digital coding circuit, storage circuit, control circuit, sensor circuit, etc.) inside the tag information module 12. The tag information module 12 outputs the tag signal to the frequency conversion module 13 under the power supply of the first microwave signal. For the frequency conversion module 13, according to the different architectures of the specific frequency conversion module, it can be divided into generating a second microwave signal carrying tag information only according to the tag signal, and generating a second microwave signal carrying tag information according to the first microwave signal and the tag signal. Afterwards, the second microwave signal is coupled and output into the free space through the antenna module 11, and the remote transceiver receives the second microwave signal and parses it to obtain the corresponding tag information.
[0075] In the above process, due to the use of a heterogeneous frequency communication system, on the one hand, the problems of short communication distance and serious co-frequency interference existing in the co-frequency communication system can be overcome; on the other hand, by loading the tag information into the heterogeneous frequency return signal, accurate identification and positioning of numerous wireless tag devices within the communication coverage area of the transceiver device can be achieved, thus overcoming the problems of limited number of wireless tag devices carried by the same transceiver device and complex debugging under the heterogeneous frequency communication system in the prior art.
[0076] It should be noted that the antenna module 11 can be any antenna object that can achieve efficient transmission and reception of heterodyne communications. Several implementations of the antenna module 11 are exemplarily shown below.
[0077] Figure 2 The structure of the antenna module 11 of an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes a first antenna 111 and a power distribution module 112. The first antenna 111 is electrically connected to the power distribution module 112. The power distribution module 112 includes an input port and at least two output ports. The input port is electrically connected to the first antenna 111, and the output port is electrically connected to the tag information module 12 and the frequency conversion module 13. Through the above configuration, on the one hand, the power distribution module 112 can divide the first microwave signal coupled from the first antenna 111 into at least two parts, one part is input to the tag information module 12, and the other part is input to the frequency conversion module 13; on the other hand, the power distribution module 112 transmits the second microwave signal output by the frequency conversion module 13 to the first antenna 111.
[0078] The power distribution module 112 may be any object capable of implementing power distribution, including but not limited to a power divider and a coupler.
[0079] Figure 3 The structure of the antenna module 11 of an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes a second antenna 113 in addition to a first antenna 111. The first antenna 111 and the second antenna 113 are independent antennas. The first antenna 111 is electrically connected to the tag information module 12, and the second antenna 113 is electrically connected to the frequency conversion module 13. Through the above configuration, the use of two independent antennas has the characteristics of small signal transmission path loss, flexible installation, high coupling efficiency, etc.
[0080] Figure 4 The structure of an antenna module 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes a first antenna 111, a second antenna 113 and a four-port directional coupler 114. The four-port directional coupler 114 includes a first coupler port T11 to a fourth coupler port T14. The first coupler port T11 is electrically connected to the first antenna 111, the second coupler port T12 is electrically connected to the tag information module 12, the third coupler port T11 is electrically connected to the second antenna 113, and the fourth coupler port T14 is electrically connected to the frequency conversion module 13.
[0081] On the one hand, compared with Figure 3 Only one first microwave signal coupled by one antenna enters the tag information module 12 or the frequency conversion module 13. Through the above configuration, the first microwave signal coupled from two antennas will enter the tag information module 12 or the frequency conversion module 13, which can increase the power of the first microwave signal entering the tag information module 12 or the frequency conversion module 13. On the other hand, the second microwave signal output from the frequency conversion module 13 can also be coupled and output via the first antenna 111 and the second antenna 113. Compared with the method of coupling and outputting from a single antenna in FIG. 3, there is no degradation in the coupling and output efficiency of the second microwave signal.
[0082] The tag information module 12 is configured to send a tag signal to the frequency conversion module 13 under the drive of the first microwave signal, that is, the tag information module 12 obtains the electric energy required for the operation of its internal circuit through the first microwave signal.
[0083] Figure 5The structure of the tag information module 12 of the first embodiment of the present scheme is shown, which includes an energy conversion circuit 121, an energy management circuit 122 and a control circuit 123. The energy conversion circuit 121 is electrically connected to the antenna module 11 and the energy management circuit 122, and the control circuit 123 is electrically connected to the energy management circuit 122 and the frequency conversion module 13. The energy conversion circuit 121 is configured to convert the first microwave signal from the antenna module 11 into direct current. The energy management circuit 122 is configured to store direct current, control the stored direct current power, and reasonably distribute the direct current power. The control circuit 123 is configured to store tag information internally and work according to a pre-agreed communication strategy. The aforementioned communication strategy is uniformly agreed upon by the transceiver and each wireless tag device, and the agreed content includes at least that only one wireless tag device returns the second microwave signal carrying the tag information at the same time.
[0084] It should be noted that the frequency conversion module 13 is configured to generate a second microwave signal carrying tag information according to the tag signal. In principle, the frequency conversion module 13 can be any frequency conversion object that can generate the second microwave signal. The generation of the second microwave signal does not necessarily require the participation of the first microwave signal. Several embodiments are exemplarily shown below.
[0085] Figure 6 The structure of a frequency conversion module 13 that does not require the first microwave signal to participate in generating the second microwave signal is exemplarily shown. The frequency conversion module 13 includes a voltage-controlled oscillator 134, and the voltage-controlled oscillator 134 is electrically connected to the antenna module 11 and the tag information module 12. A voltage-controlled oscillator is an oscillation circuit whose output frequency corresponds to an input control voltage. When the working state of the voltage-controlled oscillator or the component parameters of the oscillation circuit are controlled by the input control voltage, a voltage-controlled oscillator can be formed.
[0086] In some embodiments, the tag information module 12 outputs a voltage-type tag signal, and the voltage-controlled oscillator 134 responds to the voltage-type tag signal to output a second microwave signal in response to the tag signal.
[0087] In some embodiments, the tag information module 12 outputs a current-type tag signal, and the frequency conversion module 13 also includes a current-voltage conversion circuit, which converts the current-type tag signal into a voltage-type tag signal. The voltage-controlled oscillator 134 responds to the voltage-type tag signal, thereby outputting a second microwave signal in response to the tag signal.
[0088] In some embodiments, the tag signal is an on-off keying signal or an amplitude shift keying signal, and the frequency conversion module 13 responds to the tag signal and outputs a third frequency signal corresponding to a low level of the tag signal and a fourth frequency signal corresponding to a high level of the tag signal.
[0089] In some embodiments, one of the third frequency signal and the fourth frequency signal has a first frequency, and the other has a second frequency. Exemplarily, the third frequency signal has a first frequency, and the fourth frequency signal has a second frequency.
[0090] In some embodiments, the first frequency and the second frequency are both carrier frequencies or center frequencies.
[0091] In some embodiments, the first frequency is 950 MHz, the second frequency is 915 MHz, the third frequency signal range is 940 MHz to 960 MHz, and the fourth frequency signal range is 913 MHz to 917 MHz.
[0092] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the change of the second microwave signal output by the voltage-controlled oscillator 134 indirectly reflects the tag information, that is, the second microwave signal carries the tag information, forming a frequency-shift keyed second microwave signal carrying the tag information. Therefore, the return signal received by the transceiver device from each wireless tag device is a variable frequency signal with the tag information, which solves the outstanding problems of the prior art such as the limited number of tags carried and the weak anti-interference ability.
[0093] Figure 7 The present invention shows a construction method of another frequency conversion module 13 that does not require the first microwave signal to participate in generating the second microwave signal. In addition to the voltage-controlled oscillator 134, it also includes a first filter 138 and a second filter 139. The first filter 138 and the second filter 139 are both electrically connected to the voltage-controlled oscillator 134. The voltage-controlled oscillator 134 is also electrically connected to the control circuit 123 in the tag information module 12. The first filter 138 is also electrically connected to the energy conversion circuit 121 in the tag information module 12. The second filter 139 is also electrically connected to the antenna module 11. Among them, the first filter 138 is configured to pass a signal with a first frequency, and the second filter 139 is configured to pass a signal with a second frequency. Through the above-mentioned configuration, the signal with a first frequency generated by the voltage-controlled oscillator can be transmitted to the tag information module 12 and converted into direct current, which can increase the storage capacity of direct current, thereby extending the wireless communication distance.
[0094] Figure 8The structure of another frequency conversion module 13 of the present invention that does not require the first microwave signal to participate in generating the second microwave signal is shown. In addition to the voltage-controlled oscillator 134, it also includes a switch device 130. The voltage-controlled oscillator 134 is electrically connected to the energy management circuit 122 in the tag information module 12. The switch device 130 is electrically connected to the voltage-controlled oscillator 134, the antenna module 11, and the control circuit 123 in the tag information module 12. The energy management circuit 122 provides a constant working voltage for the voltage-controlled oscillator 134, so that the voltage-controlled oscillator 134 outputs a signal with a second frequency. The tag signal output by the control circuit 123 causes the switch device 130 to perform amplitude modulation on the signal with a second frequency output by the voltage-controlled oscillator 134, thereby forming a second microwave signal carrying tag information and in amplitude shift keying.
[0095] The switching device 130 may be any suitable low power consumption device, such as a field effect transistor.
[0096] Fig. 9 The present invention shows a construction method of a frequency conversion module 13 that requires a first microwave signal to participate in generating a second microwave signal. On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the frequency conversion module 13 also includes a mixer 135, and the mixer 135 is electrically connected to the antenna module 11 and the voltage-controlled oscillator 134, respectively. The third frequency signal in response to the low level of the tag signal and the fourth frequency signal in response to the high level of the tag signal output by the voltage-controlled oscillator 134 are mixed with the first microwave signal from the antenna module 11 in the mixer 135, respectively, to obtain a sixth frequency signal and a seventh frequency signal, respectively. One of the sixth frequency signal and the seventh frequency signal is a second microwave signal having a second frequency. Through the above-mentioned configuration, interference-free analysis of the second microwave signal carrying tag information can be achieved.
[0097] In some embodiments, the first frequency is 950 MHz, the second frequency is 915 MHz, the third frequency signal range is 1 MHz to 3 MHz, the fourth frequency signal range is 34 MHz to 36 MHz, the sixth frequency signal range is 947 MHz to 949 MHz, and the seventh frequency signal range is 914 MHz to 916 MHz.

On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the frequency conversion module 13 also includes a first filter 138 and a second filter 139. The first filter 138 and the second filter 139 are both electrically connected to the voltage-controlled oscillator 134.

[0099] Fig.11 The present invention shows a construction mode of a frequency conversion module 13 that requires a first microwave signal to participate in generating a second microwave signal. In this embodiment, the frequency conversion module 13 includes a first modulation element 131, a first resonant network 132, and a second resonant network 133. The first modulation element 131 includes three ports, namely a first modulation port T21, a second modulation port T22, and a third modulation port T23, wherein the first modulation port T21 is used to input a first frequency ( f in ) of the first microwave signal, and outputting a second microwave signal having a frequency ( f out )’s second microwave signal.
[0100] In this circuit, the generation of the second frequency does not depend on whether there is a tag signal. When there is no tag signal and only the first microwave signal is input, the first modulation element 131 establishes a channel for the first microwave signal to perform passive transmission between the first modulation port T21 and the second modulation port T22, and between the second modulation port T22 and the third modulation port T23, and transmits the first frequency ( f in ) and the second resonant frequency ( f r2 ) is mixed with an oscillating signal having a second frequency ( f out), a mixed signal without tag information, and then outputs the mixed signal from the first modulation port T21. When a tag signal is connected, the tag signal will be loaded onto the mixed signal to form a second microwave signal carrying tag information. Through the above settings, the tag signal generated by the tag information module 12 is modulated on the mixed signal of the second frequency, thereby realizing passive wireless digital coding transmission.
[0101] The tag signal output by the tag information module 12 is connected to the frequency conversion module 13 at multiple locations, including but not limited to Fig.11 The first access position P1-12, the second access position P2-12, and the third access position P3-12.

The piezoelectric resonator 1331 is electrically connected to the third modulation port T23 of the first modulation element 131.

The second resonant network 133 includes a piezoelectric resonator 1331 and a capacitor 1332 electrically connected to the piezoelectric resonator 1331. The other end of the capacitor 1332 is grounded. The position between the piezoelectric resonator 1331 and the capacitor 1332 is electrically connected to the tag information module 12.
[0105] In some embodiments, Fig.12 The capacitor 1332 in the tag information module 12 can be removed. In this case, the piezoelectric resonator 1331 is directly connected to the tag information module 12.

In this embodiment, the frequency conversion module 13 includes a Schottky diode 136 and a second modulation element 137. The anode of the Schottky diode 136 is electrically connected to the antenna module 11, and the cathode of the Schottky diode 136 is electrically connected to the antenna module 11 and the second modulation element 137. The second modulation element 137 is also electrically connected to the tag information module 12. The first microwave signal output by the antenna module 11 enters from the anode of the Schottky diode 136, and outputs a frequency-doubled signal of the second frequency from the cathode. When the tag signal output by the tag information module 12 is loaded onto the above-mentioned frequency-doubled signal, the frequency conversion module 13 outputs a second microwave signal carrying the tag information and having a frequency of the second frequency.
[0107] In some embodiments, the first frequency is 433 MHz and the second frequency is 866 MHz.

Among them, the first filter 138 is configured to pass a signal with a first frequency, and the second filter 139 is configured to pass a signal with a second frequency. In this way, the signal transmission path of the first frequency and the second frequency can be constrained, and the generation of a higher-order mixing signal in the Schottky diode 136 can be avoided, which reduces the difficulty of the wireless tag device to analyze the signal of the transceiver device and improves the anti-interference ability of the entire wireless tag system.

The energy management circuit 122 provides power to the sensor module 14, and the control circuit 123 stores the sensing amount of the sensor module 14 and encodes it into the tag signal.
