[0039] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, in order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, and the preferred embodiments of the present application are given in the accompanying drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thoroughly understood. The present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0041] The radio frequency system involved in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a communication device with a wireless communication function, and the communication device can be a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a computing device, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, as well as various forms of user equipment (UE) (e.g., a mobile phone), a mobile station (MS), etc. For the convenience of description, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as communication devices.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a radio frequency device 10, which is configured with a first transmitting port RFIN1, a second transmitting port RF IN2, and a tuning control port CTR, which is used to connect a first antenna port A0 of a first antenna, and a first antenna port A1 of a second antenna. The radio frequency device 10 includes a first transmitting circuit 12, a second transmitting circuit 14, and a gating tuning circuit 16.

[0043] The input end of the first transmitting circuit 12 is connected to the first transmitting port RF IN1, and is used to support amplification of the target RF signal from the first transmitting port RF IN1. The input end of the second transmitting circuit 14 is connected to the second transmitting port RF IN2, and is used to support amplification of the target RF signal from the second transmitting port RF IN2.

[0044] The first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 refer to circuits that can power amplify radio frequency signals and transmit the amplified signals. The first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 can respectively receive radio frequency signals generated by the processing circuit from the first transmitting port RFIN1 and the second transmitting port RF IN2, and power amplify the received radio frequency signals to transmit the power-amplified radio frequency signals to the selection tuning circuit and then to the ANT0 or ANT1 antenna, and transmit them through the antenna. Among them, the radio frequency signal can be a signal of a network standard such as GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 5GNR (New Radio), and each network standard may include multiple frequency bands. Optionally, taking the 5GNR network standard as an example, the 5GNR signal includes a low frequency signal, an intermediate frequency signal, a high frequency signal and an ultra-high frequency signal, and the frequency band division of the low frequency signal, the intermediate frequency signal, the high frequency signal and the ultra-high frequency signal can refer to the following table.

[0045]

[0046] The gating tuning circuit 16 is respectively connected to the output end of the first transmitting circuit 12, the output end of the second transmitting circuit 14, the tuning control port CTR, the first antenna port A0 and the first antenna port A1. That is, the gating tuning circuit 16 is arranged on the transmission path between the first transmitting circuit 12, the second transmitting circuit 14 and the first antenna and the second antenna respectively, and the gating tuning circuit 16 is used to select the radio frequency signal output by the first transmitting circuit 12 or the second transmitting circuit 14 to be transmitted through the target antenna connected to the target antenna port. The target antenna port is one of the first antenna port A0 and the first antenna port A1.

[0047] The gating tuning circuit 16 is used to change the tuning parameters of the gating tuning circuit 16 according to the tuning signal output by the received tuning control port, so as to adjust the impedance position of the target antenna connected to the target antenna port. The impedance of the gating tuning circuit 16 can be adjusted by adjusting the tuning parameters of the gating tuning circuit 16, and then the impedance of the transmission path can be adjusted to improve the transmission performance of the antenna. Among them, the tuning signal is related to the power of the radio frequency signal output by the first transmitting circuit 12 or the second transmitting circuit 14. For example, the tuning signal can be determined by the processing circuit according to the power test signal collected by the built-in or external power detection circuit of the radio frequency device 10. Among them, the power test signal can reflect the power of the radio frequency signal output by the first transmitting circuit 12 or the second transmitting circuit 14. The processing circuit can input the tuning signal to the port CTR through the port D1.

[0048] The RF device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application forms a first transmitting circuit 12 connected to the first transmitting port RFIN1 and a second transmitting circuit 14 connected to the second transmitting port RF IN2 on the RF device 10, and is provided with a gating tuning circuit 16 connected to the first antenna port A0 and the first antenna port A1. The gating tuning circuit 16 builds a connection path between the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 and the first antenna and the second antenna. The gating tuning circuit 16 can support the dual transmission of the target RF signal based on its gating function, improve the communication performance, and integrate the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 inside the device, which can reduce the insertion loss and area of ​​the external plug-in and reduce the cost. In addition, the gating tuning circuit 16 can change its tuning parameters under the action of the tuning signal, adjust the impedance position of the target antenna used to transmit the RF signal, and the RF device 10 supports adaptive tuning in various operating scenarios, optimizes its own operating state, thereby ensuring the overall performance of the communication equipment, taking into account low energy consumption and product miniaturization design.

[0049] The frequency bands of the target RF signal transmitted by the first transmitting circuit 12 and the target RF signal transmitted by the second transmitting circuit 14 may be at least partially the same or different. When the frequency bands of the target RF signals on the two transmission paths overlap at least partially, the RF device 10 supports MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) dual transmission of the RF signals in the overlapping frequency bands.

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the gate tuning circuit 16 has a plurality of first terminals (eg, Figure 2 1-11) and a plurality of second terminals (eg, Figure 2The multiple first ends of the strobe tuning circuit 16 are respectively connected to the output end of the first transmitting circuit 12, and the multiple second ends of the strobe tuning circuit 16 are respectively connected to the first antenna port A0 and the second antenna port A1.

[0051] The gate tuning circuit 16 includes a closed-loop tuning circuit 162 and a gate switch 164, wherein multiple first ends of the gate switch 164 serve as multiple first ends of the gate tuning circuit 16, and multiple second ends of the gate switch 164 serve as multiple second ends of the gate tuning circuit 16. Multiple first ends of the closed-loop tuning circuit 162 are respectively connected to multiple first ends of the selection switch 164, and multiple second ends of the closed-loop tuning circuit 162 are respectively connected to multiple second ends of the gate switch 164.

[0052] The closed-loop tuning circuit 162 has multiple tuning states, and the impedance of the closed-loop tuning circuit 162 in each tuning state is different. The closed-loop tuning circuit 162 is used to be in different tuning states under the action of the tuning signal.

[0053] The gating switch 164 is used to select and conduct the path between one of the output terminals of the first transmitting circuit 12 and the first antenna port A0, and the path between the other output terminal of the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second antenna port A1, so as to support the dual-path transmission of the output signal of the first transmitting circuit 12. Based on the connection relationship between the gating switch 164 and the closed-loop tuning circuit 162, the closed-loop tuning circuit 162 tunes the radio frequency signals transmitted by the first transmitting circuit 12 to the first antenna port A0 and the second antenna port A1, respectively, to achieve impedance adjustment of the transmitting path.

[0054] The closed-loop tuning circuit 162 can be composed of many switches (such as SW1, SW12, SW2, SW21, SW3., SW4., etc. in the figure. It should be understood that the figure only shows some switches and is not limited to the number and connection method of the switches in the figure) and capacitors and inductors connected to the external RF port to form different combinations, that is, different tuning states. The impedance of the closed-loop tuning circuit 162 in each tuning state is different. Therefore, the tuning state of the closed-loop tuning circuit 162 can be adjusted according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position to achieve impedance adjustment of the transmission path, and then adjust the impedance position of the load, thereby optimizing the operating state of the RF device 10.

[0055] The closed-loop tuning circuit 162 may include a plurality of first terminals and a plurality of second terminals, wherein the plurality of first terminals (eg, Figure 2 The contact a1 and the contact a2 in the embodiment may be connected to a plurality of first terminals (eg, Figure 2 Any two of the contacts 1 to 11 in the closed-loop tuning circuit 162, multiple second terminals (for example, Figure 2The contact b1 and the contact b2 in the embodiment may be connected to a plurality of second terminals (eg, Figure 2 The contact 12 and the contact 13 in the circuit), the gating function of the transmitting path can be realized based on the gating switch 164, and the tuning of the transmitting path can be realized based on the closed-loop tuning circuit 162.

[0056] When the load impedance of the communication device used by the RF device 10 changes, such as when the antenna of the communication device is touched by the human body or other metal objects in scenarios such as horizontal screen games, hand-held, and USB charging, the passive position of the antenna will be affected. At this time, the power consumption and performance of the communication device are seriously affected, resulting in performance degradation or increased power consumption. By setting a closed-loop tuning circuit with controllable tuning parameters between the first transmitting circuit 12, the second transmitting circuit 14 and the first antenna port A0 and the second antenna port A1, when transmitting a radio frequency signal through the first antenna port A0 or the second antenna port A1, the selection tuning circuit 16 can adjust the tuning parameters according to the tuning signal, thereby adjusting the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and phase of the load, so that it is optimized in the direction of better current, optimizing antenna performance and power consumption, and improving battery life.

[0057] It should be noted that Figure 2 The figure only shows a structure of the gating and tuning circuit 16, but the number of the first end and the second end is not limited by the figure. In practical application, the number of the second end of the gating and tuning circuit 16 can be determined according to the number of antennas connected to it, and the number of the first end of the gating and tuning circuit 16 can be determined according to the number of output ends of the first transmitting circuit 12 and the number of output ends of the second transmitting circuit 14 corresponding to it. The contact point examples such as the contact point a1 and the contact point a2 given in the above embodiment are also intended to help those skilled in the art understand the implementation of the gating function and the tuning function of the gating and tuning circuit 16, and do not limit the number of contacts.

[0058] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the RF device 10 is further configured with a power feedback port CPL OUT, and the RF device also includes a power detection circuit 18 .

[0059] The power detection circuit 18 is connected to the power feedback port, and is used to couple the radio frequency signal transmitted through the first antenna port (A0 port) or the second antenna port (A1 port), and output the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal to the processing circuit (which can be input to the processing circuit through the D2 port shown in the figure), so that the processing circuit 20 generates and outputs the tuning signal to the tuning control port CTR according to the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal. The tuning control port acts on the strobe tuning circuit 16.

[0060] Among them, the power detection circuit 18 can be implemented by a coupler, and two couplings can be set to respectively detect the power of the radio frequency signal transmitted through the first antenna port and the radio frequency signal transmitted through the second antenna port. The coupling of each path can be achieved by setting a coupler in the forward feedback channel to feed back the forward coupling signal, and setting a coupler in the reverse feedback channel to feed back the reverse coupling signal; the forward feedback channel and the reverse feedback channel can also share a coupler, that is, a bidirectional coupler is used to feed back the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal. The forward coupling signal can be a part of the transmitted signal, and can have the same frequency and phase as the transmitted signal; the reverse coupling signal is a signal that is reflected by the antenna but not transmitted. Based on the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal, the reflection characteristic parameters, such as the voltage standing wave ratio, can be calculated.

[0061] By integrating the power detection circuit 18 inside the RF device 10, the insertion loss of the external plug-in can be reduced and the area can be reduced, which is conducive to reducing costs. After integration, the RF device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can also achieve matching between various parts inside the RF device, reduce port mismatch, and thus improve antenna performance.

[0062] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the power detection circuit 18 includes a two-way bidirectional coupler.

[0063] The dual-way bidirectional coupler is coupled to the selection tuning circuit 16, the first antenna port A0, and the second antenna port A1 respectively, and is used to couple the RF signal transmitted by the first antenna ANT0 or the second antenna ANT1 to output a forward coupling signal and a reverse coupling signal.

[0064] The dual-path bidirectional coupler can couple with the signals on the two transmission paths to detect the power on the two transmission paths, thereby providing data basis for tuning the selection tuning circuit 16 .

[0065] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the two-way bidirectional coupler has a first coupling end and a second coupling end coupled to the selection tuning circuit 16, a third coupling end coupled to the first antenna port A0, a fourth coupling end coupled to the second antenna port A1, and an output end. The two-way bidirectional coupler includes: a first bidirectional coupler 182, a second bidirectional coupler 184, and a first switching circuit 186.

[0066] Among them, the first bidirectional coupler 182 is coupled and connected to the first coupling end and the third coupling end respectively, and the first bidirectional coupler 182 is used to couple the radio frequency signal transmitted by the first antenna ANT0 to output a forward coupling signal and a reverse coupling signal. The second bidirectional coupler 184 is coupled and connected to the second coupling end and the fourth coupling end respectively, and the second bidirectional coupler 184 is used to couple the radio frequency signal transmitted by the second antenna ANT1 to output a forward coupling signal and a reverse coupling signal. The multiple first ends of the first switch circuit 186 are respectively connected to the two coupling output ends of the first bidirectional coupler 182 and the two coupling output ends of the second bidirectional coupler 184, and the second end of the first switch circuit 186 is connected to the power feedback port CPLOUT. The number of connection ends of the first switch circuit 186 is determined according to the access requirements of its input and output signals, and is not limited here.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the first transmitting circuit 12 includes: a first transmitting unit 122 and a first filtering unit 124 .

[0068] The input end of the first transmitting unit 122 is connected to the first transmitting port to support amplification of the RF signal from the first transmitting port. The first transmitting unit 122 can support power amplification of target RF signals of one or more frequency bands. For example, the first transmitting unit 122 can support power amplification of RF signals of at least two frequency bands among a low frequency band, a medium frequency band, a high frequency band, or an ultra-high frequency band.

[0069] One end of the first filtering unit 124 is connected to the output end of the first transmitting unit 122 and the other end is connected to the selection tuning circuit 16. The first filtering unit 124 is used to filter the RF signal output by the first transmitting unit 122 and select the target RF signal to be output to the selection tuning circuit 16.

[0070] The first filtering unit 124 is used to support filtering of a target RF signal of at least one frequency band, allowing the target RF signal to pass through and transmit it to the gating tuning circuit 16, and output from the first antenna port A0 or the second antenna port A1 through the gating tuning circuit 16.

[0071] In one embodiment, the first filtering unit 124 can support the transmission of target RF signals in multiple frequency bands, for example, Figure 6 As shown, the first filtering unit 124 can support the transmission of RF signals of at least frequency bands including B8, B12, B20, B26, B28, etc. It should be understood that since the frequency band range of 4G LTE and 5G NR is the same, the first filtering unit 124 can also support the transmission of RF signals of frequency bands such as N8 and N28.

[0072] In one embodiment, if Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the second transmitting circuit 14 includes: a second transmitting unit 142 and a second filtering unit 144 .

[0073] The input end of the second transmitting unit 142 is connected to the second transmitting port (eg, Figure 6 The second filter unit 144 is connected to the output end of the second transmitting unit 142 at one end, and connected to the gate tuning circuit 16 at the other end. The second filter unit 144 is used to filter the RF signal output by the second transmitting unit 142 and output the target RF signal to the gate tuning circuit 16.

[0074] The function of the second transmitting unit 142 can be understood by referring to the function of the first transmitting unit 122 in the above embodiment. The second filtering unit 144 can filter the target RF signal of at least one frequency band and transmit the filtered signal to the gate tuning circuit 16. For example, Figure 8 As shown, the second transmitting unit 142 can amplify the target RF signal in the B28 frequency band and transmit the amplified signal to the second filtering unit 144 for filtering. After the filtered target RF signal in the B28 frequency band is connected to the contact 10 of the selection tuning circuit, it is emitted outward from the first antenna port LB ANT0 or the second antenna port LB ANT1.

[0075] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the second filtering unit 144 includes: a first filter (for example, Figure 8 The filter connected to B28 TX1 in the figure).

[0076] The first end of the first filter is connected to the output end of the second transmitting unit 142, and the second end of the first filter is connected to the gate tuning circuit 16. The first filter is used to filter the RF signal transmitted by the second transmitting unit 142 to support the output of the target RF signal. Figure 8 In the embodiment, the first filter supports the transmission of the target RF signal in the B28 frequency band. Of course, the first filter can also support the transmission of the RF signal in the N28 frequency band. The first filter can be one or more, and the specific number depends on the number of frequency bands of the target RF signal that the second transmitting circuit 14 needs to support. For example, when the second transmitting circuit 14 needs to support the transmission of RF signals in the N8 and N28 frequency bands, two first filters can be set, one of which supports the transmission of RF signals in the N8 frequency band, and the other first filter supports the transmission of RF signals in the N28 frequency band.

[0077] In one embodiment, Fig. 9As shown, there may be multiple first filters, and different first filters have different bandpass filtering ranges. The second filtering unit also includes a first selection switch (for example, Fig. 9 The first end of the first selection switch is connected to the output end of the second transmitting unit 142, and the plurality of second ends of the first selection switch (such as Fig. 9 B8 TX1 and B28 TX1) shown in the figure are respectively connected to the first ends of the plurality of first filters.

[0078] By setting the first selection switch, filtering and transmission of target radio frequency signals of multiple frequency bands can be realized while sharing the second transmitting unit. Fig. 9 As shown, when there are two first filters, it can support filtering of RF signals in the two frequency bands of B8 and B28, and transmit the filtered target RF signals to the gating tuning circuit. Under this setting, filtering and transmission of RF signals in the two frequency bands of N8 and N28 can also be supported. Among them, the frequency bands supported by multiple first filters can be partially the same as the frequency bands supported by the first transmitting circuit. For example, the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 both support the transmission of target RF signals in the N8 and N28 frequency bands, and are compatible with N8 / N28 dual transmission.

[0079] In one embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first filtering unit 124 includes: a second filter 1242 and a second selection switch 1244 .

[0080] The first end of the second filter 1242 is connected to the gate tuning circuit 16. The number of the second filter 1242 is at least one. When there are multiple second filters 1242, different second filters 1242 have different passband ranges. The passband of the second filter 1242 can be at least partially the same as the passband supported by the first filter. In this case, dual transmission of the target RF signal in the same frequency band can be supported.

[0081] Multiple first ends of the second selection switch 1244 can be respectively connected to the output end of the first transmitting unit 122, and multiple second ends of the second selection switch 1244 can be respectively connected to the second ends of multiple second filters 1242. The second selection switch 1244 is used to select and conduct the first transmitting unit 122 and one of the second filters 1242.

[0082] When there are multiple second filters 1242, the first transmitting circuit 12 can support the transmission of target RF signals in multiple frequency bands. Fig. 9As shown, the second selection switch 1244 (for example, it can be an SP8T switch as shown in the figure) accesses the RF signal from the first transmitting unit 12 (4G LB PA), and through gating, the RF signal output by the first transmitting unit 12 can be selected to be transmitted to one of the second ends, for example, it is selected to be output from contact 8 to the second filter 1242 supporting the B28 frequency band. After filtering by the second filter 1242, the target RF signal of the B28 frequency band is accessed through the contact 8 of the gating tuning circuit 16, and after gating and tuning thereof, it is output from the first antenna port LB ANT0 or the second antenna port LB ANT1. Based on the gating function of the second selection switch 1244, the transmission of RF signals of multiple different frequency bands can be realized.

[0083] It should be noted that the naming of the device ports in the embodiments and drawings of the present application is merely an identification and is not used to limit the functions of the ports, that is, it is not used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For example, the first transmission port in the drawings is named 4G LB RFIN, but it does not mean that the first transmission port can only be used for transmission in the 4G LB frequency band, and can also be applied to the 5G LB frequency band, etc.

[0084] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the RF device 10 is also configured with a first receiving port (eg, as Fig.10 RF OUT1 in ), a second receiving port (e.g., Fig.10 RF OUT2 in the RF device 10; the RF device 10 also includes: a first receiving circuit 19.

[0085] The first receiving circuit 19 is respectively connected to the selection tuning circuit 16, the first receiving port and the second receiving port. The first receiving circuit 19 is used to perform low-noise amplification processing on the RF signal received by the first antenna ANT0 or the second antenna ANT1, and output it to the processing circuit.

[0086] By integrating the first receiving circuit 19 on the RF device, it can not only support dual transmission of the target RF signal, but also support the main set reception of the RF signal. Moreover, both transmission and reception can share the antenna through the selection tuning circuit 16, thereby improving the degree of integration, enhancing the port matching capability, and reducing the cost.

[0087] A filter may be provided between the first receiving circuit 19 and the gate tuning circuit 16 to filter the received RF signal so as to receive the target RF signal. The frequency bands of the target RF signals supported by the first receiving circuit 19 and the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 may be at least partially the same or different, depending on the communication requirements.

[0088] The circuit connection between the first receiving circuit 19 and the gate tuning circuit can also be realized by the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14. Fig. 9 As shown, the first filter and the second filter may adopt duplex filters, in which case the first receiving circuit 19 may be connected to the second filter in the first transmitting circuit. The first receiving circuit 19 may also be connected to the first filter in the second transmitting circuit 14. For example, the first receiving circuit 19 receives target RF signals in the B8 and B28 frequency bands from multiple first filters. The first receiving circuit 19 may also receive target RF signals in the B8, B12 / 17, B20, and B28 frequency bands from multiple second filters. Among them, the first receiving circuit 19 may support MIMO reception of target RF signals in at least one frequency band, for example, Fig. 9 In the MIMO reception of the target RF signal in the B28 frequency band, it supports.

[0089] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, the first receiving circuit 19 includes: a first amplifying unit 192 , a second amplifying unit 194 , and a first switching unit 196 .

[0090] Among them, multiple input ends of the first amplifying unit 192 are correspondingly connected to the first transmitting circuit 12, and are used to perform low-noise amplification processing on the RF signal received by the first antenna ANT0 or the second antenna ANT1. Multiple input ends of the second amplifying unit 194 are correspondingly connected to the second transmitting circuit 14, and are used to perform low-noise amplification processing on the RF signal received by the first antenna ANT0 or the second antenna ANT1. Multiple first ends of the first switching unit 196 are respectively correspondingly connected to the output end of the first amplifying unit 192 and the output end of the second amplifying unit 194, and multiple second ends of the first switching unit 196 are respectively correspondingly connected to the first receiving port and the second receiving port of the RF device 10. The first switching unit 196 is used to select and transmit the signal output by the first amplifying unit 192 or the signal output by the second amplifying unit 194 to the first receiving port or the second receiving port.

[0091] In one embodiment, the first amplifying unit 192 includes: a first low noise amplifier, and a third selection switch.

[0092] Among them, Fig. 9As shown, the output end of the first low noise amplifier LNA1 is connected to the first end of the first switch unit, and is used to perform low noise amplification processing on the received RF signal and output it to the first end of the first switch unit. The first end of the third selection switch SP4T#1 is connected to the input end of the first low noise amplifier LNA1, and the multiple second ends of the third selection switch SP4T#1 are correspondingly connected to the selection tuning circuit to select the output of the RF signal received by the first antenna port LBANT0 or the second antenna port LBANT1 to the first receiving port LNAOUT1 and the second receiving port LNAOUT2. It should be noted that this is intended to explain the connection relationship and signal transmission relationship between the first low noise amplifier and the third selection switch, but it does not limit the third selection switch to be an SP4T switch, and the selection of the switch is not limited.

[0093] In one embodiment, the second amplifying unit includes: a second low noise amplifier and a fourth selection switch.

[0094] Among them, Fig. 9 As shown, the output end of the second low noise amplifier LNA2 is connected to the first end of the first switch unit, and is used to perform low noise amplification processing on the received RF signal and output it to the first end of the first switch unit. The first end of the fourth selection switch SP4T#2 is connected to the input end of the second low noise amplifier LNA2, and the multiple second ends of the fourth selection switch SP4T#2 are correspondingly connected to the selection tuning circuit to select the output of the RF signal received by the first antenna port LBANT0 or the second antenna port LBANT1 to the first receiving port LNAOUT1 and the second receiving port LNAOUT2. It should be noted that this is intended to explain the connection relationship and signal transmission relationship between the second low noise amplifier and the fourth selection switch, but it does not limit the third selection switch to be an SP4T switch, and the selection of the switch is not limited.

[0095] In one embodiment, the frequency band of the target RF signal supported by the first transmitting circuit 12 is at least partially the same as the frequency band of the target RF signal supported by the second transmitting circuit, so as to support a dual-transmission function of RF signals in at least one frequency band.

[0096] In one embodiment, the target radio frequency signal includes a low frequency band radio frequency signal. For example, it can support the transmission of radio frequency signals in any one of the 4G low frequency band and the 5G low frequency band. Optionally, the radio frequency device provided in the embodiment of the present application can support ENDC (E-UTRA and New radio Dual Connectivity, dual connection of 4G wireless access network and 5G NR) function.

[0097] In one of the embodiments, the target radio frequency signal includes at least one of a radio frequency signal in the N8 frequency band and a radio frequency signal in the N28 frequency band.

[0098] In one embodiment, the RF device 10 is configured with at least one third transmitting port, and the RF device 10 includes at least one third transmitting circuit (eg, Fig. 9 The first end of the third transmitting circuit is connected to the third transmitting port, and the second end of the third transmitting circuit is connected to the gating tuning circuit 16, so as to share the gating tuning circuit and the first antenna ANT0 and the second antenna ANT1 with the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14. Based on the adaptive tuning capability of the gating tuning circuit 16, when the third transmitting circuit transmits a radio frequency signal, the impedance matching adjustment of the third transmitting circuit can be realized, so as to reduce energy consumption and improve communication performance.

[0099] In one embodiment, there are multiple third transmitting circuits, and different third transmitting circuits support transmitting target radio frequency signals in different frequency bands. For example, multiple third transmitting circuits can support signal transmission in LB and HB frequency bands.

[0100] In one embodiment, the third transmitting circuit may support different network standards from the first transmitting circuit and the second transmitting circuit. For example, the first transmitting circuit and the second transmitting circuit support signal transmission of the 4G / 5G network standard, and the third transmitting circuit supports RF signal transmission of at least one of the 2G / 3G / GPS / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth standards.

[0101] In one embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig.11 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a radio frequency system, which includes: a radio frequency device 10 of the terminal in the above embodiment, and a processing circuit 20.

[0102] Among them, the relevant structure, nouns and functional explanations of the radio frequency device 10 can refer to the description in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0103] like Fig.10 As shown, the processing circuit 20 is respectively connected to the first transmitting port RF IN1, the second transmitting port RF IN2, and the tuning control port CTR. The processing circuit 20 is configured to generate and output a tuning signal to the tuning control port CTR according to the received power test signal, and the tuning signal acts on the gate tuning circuit 16 through the tuning control port CTR, and adjusts the antenna impedance position of the transmitting signal based on the adaptive tuning capability of the gate tuning circuit 16. The power test signal is used to reflect the power of the RF signal output by the first transmitting circuit 12 or the second transmitting circuit 14.

[0104] Among them, the processing circuit 20 may include an RF transceiver, and the RF transceiver is configured with a transmitting port and a feedback port D2. The RF transceiver outputs an RF signal to the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 through the transmitting port. The RF transceiver can also be configured with a control port D1, which is connected to the tuning control port CTR of the RF device through the control port D1 to send a tuning signal to the gate tuning circuit 16. For example, the RF transceiver can be configured with one of a mipi (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) port and a GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) port, and the control circuit can be connected to the tuning control port through the mipi port or the GPIO port to send a tuning signal to the gate tuning circuit 16, adjust the tuning parameters of the gate tuning circuit 16, improve communication performance, and reduce energy consumption. The feedback port D2 of the RF transceiver is used to receive the signal output by the power feedback port of the RF device 10, so as to generate a tuning signal according to the power detection signal output by the power detection circuit 18.

[0105] The RF system equipped with the RF device 10 can generate and output a tuning signal to the tuning control port CTR according to the transmission power of the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14 based on the processing capability of the processing circuit 20, adjust the tuning parameters of the gated tuning circuit 16, and adjust the impedance position of the antenna transmitting the signal. The antenna transmitting the signal can be at least one of the first antenna ANT0 and the second antenna ANT1, and it can be understood that the antenna in the state of transmitting the signal is the target antenna.

[0106] In one embodiment, the power test signal includes a forward coupling signal and a reverse coupling signal, and the radio frequency system further includes: a power detection circuit 18. The power detection circuit 18 is used to couple the radio frequency signal transmitted through the first antenna port or the second antenna port, and output the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal to the processing circuit. For the power detection circuit 18, please refer to the description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here. Based on the power detection capability of the power detection circuit 18, the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal can be output to the processing circuit 20, so that the processing circuit 20 can understand the power conditions of the first transmitting circuit 12 and the second transmitting circuit 14, and generate a tuning signal to the tuning control port CTR to adjust the tuning parameters of the selection tuning circuit 16.

[0107] In one embodiment, if Fig.12 As shown, the processing circuit 20 is configured to perform the following steps:

[0108] S1202, determining a reflection characteristic parameter of a transmission path according to the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal;

[0109] S1204, determining a real-time impedance position according to the reflection characteristic parameter and the initial impedance position of the load on the Smith chart; wherein the initial impedance position is related to the frequency band of the target radio frequency signal;

[0110] S1206, adjusting the tuning parameters of the gate tuning circuit according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, so that the distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position after adjustment is smaller than the distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position before adjustment. Then, the operation state of the RF system is optimized, so that the RF system can perform adaptive adjustment in various operation scenarios, optimize its own operation state, and thus ensure the overall performance of the communication device.

[0111] in, Fig.13 For a schematic diagram of a Smith chart according to an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Fig.13 The initial impedance position of the load on the Smith chart is the impedance position of the communication device set in free space. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the initial impedance position can be the impedance position of the entire device when it is not held in the hand or in other special scenarios. The initial impedance position is related to the frequency band of the RF signal. The initial impedance position corresponding to different frequency bands of the RF signal may be different. The reflection characteristic parameters of the transmission path are determined based on the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal. The reflection characteristic parameters can reflect the working performance of the transmission path. The reflection characteristic parameters and the initial impedance position are substituted into the pre-stored impedance relationship to determine the real-time impedance position. Among them, taking the reflection characteristic parameter as the voltage standing wave ratio as an example, the calculation formula of the impedance relationship can be:

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] Where VSWR is the standing wave ratio, ρ is the reflection coefficient, and Z L is the real-time impedance, and Z0 is the initial impedance.

[0115] After determining the real-time impedance position, since adjusting the tuning parameters of the gating tuning circuit 16 can change the impedance of the transmission path (including the transmission path corresponding to the first transmission circuit 12, the transmission path corresponding to the second transmission circuit 14, and the transmission path corresponding to the third transmission circuit in the above embodiment), therefore, adjusting the tuning parameters of the gating tuning circuit 16 according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position can make the distance between the adjusted real-time impedance position and the target impedance position smaller than the distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position before the adjustment. It should be noted that the target impedance position can be a preset default impedance position, and the default target impedance position can be an impedance position with the lowest power consumption of the RF system.

[0116] In one embodiment, the processing circuit 20 can be further configured to adjust the tuning parameters of the gate tuning circuit 16 according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position so that the distance between the adjusted real-time impedance position and the target impedance position is minimized. Thus, the real-time impedance position is closest to the target impedance position, and the RF system is closest to the target state. Taking the target impedance position as an example, the impedance position with the lowest power consumption of the RF system is minimized, so that the power consumption of the RF system is maximized within the adjustable range. Among them, the minimum distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position can be 0, even if the adjusted real-time impedance position is at the distance of the target impedance position.

[0117] As described in the above embodiments, the inventors have discovered through creative work that in related technologies, when the mobile phone antenna is touched by the human body or other metal objects during horizontal screen gaming, hand-held, USB charging, etc., the passive position of the antenna is affected, and at this time the power consumption and performance of the entire device are severely affected.

[0118] like Fig.13 As shown, all active power amplifiers PA have a passive Loadpull diagram, which corresponds to the relationship curve between position and current on the Smith diagram. The position of its passive load on the Smith diagram determines its current size. When the position is closer to the lower left (third quadrant), its current is larger, and when it is closer to the upper left (first quadrant), its current is smaller. This is its inherent characteristic.

[0119] Ideally, its passive position is at the center of the Smith diagram, and VSWR = 1:1 at this time. However, due to differences in load and impedance, it is difficult to achieve the ideal state. Therefore, a set of simulations are performed below to verify the changes in power consumption under different VSWRs and phases.

[0120] Fig.14 To test the model circuit diagram, including the PA (the power amplifier included in the transmitting unit in the above embodiment) and the load, the simulation conditions are set to the following two:

[0121] 1- Keep Z0 = 50Ω, the VSWR (standing wave ratio) at this time is 1:1, and the power consumption is simulated at an output power of 29dbm; 2- Keep VSWR = 3:1, the output power is 29dbm, the phase is 0~360°, and the power consumption is simulated.

[0122] Fig.15 is a simulation waveform diagram obtained based on the test model. Fig.15As shown in the figure, it can be found that when VSWR = 1:1, the current remains unchanged when the phase changes from 0 to 360 degrees, and the current value is 553mA; when VSWR = 3:1, the current fluctuation value is up to 134mA when the phase changes from 0 to 360 degrees, and when VSWR = 6:1, the current fluctuation value is up to 134mA when the phase changes from 0 to 360 degrees. Fig.14 It can be seen that the current fluctuation value is larger, which shows that the larger the VSWR, the larger the current fluctuation value at different phases; Fig.14 The vertical axis represents the current, and the horizontal axis represents different phases. It can be found that the larger the VSWR, the greater the current fluctuation value at different phases.

[0123] It can be seen from this that in the relevant technical solutions, the VSWR of the whole machine will change in scenarios such as hand-held, horizontal screen, and USB plugged in, and the phase will also change, resulting in a significant impact on the current of the whole machine, and a very bad experience on the temperature rise and battery life of the whole machine.

[0124] Therefore, VSWR can reflect the impedance of the load, and the processing circuit determines the real-time impedance position according to the VSWR and the initial impedance position, and then adjusts the tuning parameters of the selection tuning circuit according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, so that the distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position after adjustment can be made smaller than the distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position before adjustment, which is beneficial to optimize the operating state of the communication equipment.

[0125] The above-mentioned radio frequency system, by setting the power detection circuit 18 on the transmission path between the gate tuning circuit 16 and the antenna, enables the power detection circuit 18 to couple the transmitted radio frequency signal and output the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal to the processing circuit, and the processing circuit 20 can determine the reflection characteristic parameters of the transmission path according to the forward coupling signal and the reverse coupling signal, and then determine the real-time impedance position according to the reflection characteristic parameters and the initial impedance position of the load on the Smith chart, and control the tuning parameters of the gate tuning circuit 16 according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, so that the distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position after adjustment is smaller than the distance between the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position before adjustment, thereby optimizing the operating state of the radio frequency system, so that the radio frequency system can be adaptively adjusted in various operating scenarios to optimize its own operating state, thereby ensuring the overall performance of the communication equipment.

[0126] In one embodiment, if Fig.16 As shown, the radio frequency system further includes: a temperature detection module 30 .

[0127] The temperature detection module 30 is connected to the processing circuit 20 and is used to collect temperature information of the RF system. The temperature detection module 30 may include a temperature sensor, which collects temperature information of the RF system and feeds it back to the processing circuit 20. The processing circuit 20 is also configured to update the target impedance position according to the temperature information.

[0128] In the application, the radio frequency system can be set on the main board, and the temperature sensor can collect the temperature information of the main board and use the temperature information of the main board as the temperature information of the radio frequency system.

[0129] It can be understood that the temperature information of the RF system is related to the operating state of the communication equipment. When the temperature of the RF system is too high, the operating state of the communication equipment will be negatively affected and may even cause damage to some electronic components. Therefore, the target impedance position is updated according to the temperature information, so that the processing circuit 20 adjusts the tuning parameters of the selection tuning circuit according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, thereby adjusting the operating state of the communication equipment to adapt to the temperature of the communication equipment, and balancing the safety and communication performance of the communication equipment.

[0130] In one embodiment, the processing circuit 20 is further configured to: obtain the target temperature interval in which the temperature information is located; and update the target impedance position according to the control strategy corresponding to the target temperature interval. The target temperature interval is one of the preset temperature intervals, and the control strategies corresponding to the temperature intervals are different. The performance parameters characterized by the target impedance positions obtained based on the updates of the control strategies are different.

[0131] It should be noted that the performance parameters represented by the target impedance position may include power consumption, antenna efficiency, error vector amplitude position and one of RF power amplifier efficiency. The optimal impedance position corresponding to the power consumption, antenna efficiency, error vector amplitude position and RF power amplifier efficiency may be preset as the target impedance position corresponding to each temperature range.

[0132] In this embodiment, the processing circuit 20 compares the temperature information with each temperature interval to determine the target temperature interval in which the temperature signal is located, and then updates the target impedance position according to the control strategy corresponding to the target temperature interval to determine the target impedance position that is consistent with the temperature information, and then controls the tuning parameters of the selection tuning circuit 16 according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, thereby adjusting the operating state of the communication device to adapt to the temperature of the communication device and balancing the safety and communication performance of the communication device.

[0133] In one embodiment, the processing circuit 20 is further configured to: when the temperature information is greater than a preset first temperature threshold, update the target impedance position to one of a target power consumption position and a target equilibrium position. The target power consumption position is an impedance position with the lowest power consumption of the RF system, the target equilibrium position is a midpoint position between the target power consumption position and the target efficiency position, and the target efficiency position is an impedance position with the highest antenna efficiency.

[0134] Among them, when the temperature information is greater than the preset first temperature threshold, the temperature of the communication device is also high. Continuing to maintain the current operating state may cause further temperature rise, and then cause damage to the electronic components in the communication device. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the operating state of the RF system to reduce the temperature of the RF system.

[0135] It can be understood that the temperature of the RF system is related to the heat generated by the operation of the RF system, and in theory, the power consumption of the RF system is positively correlated with the heat generated by the operation of the RF system, that is, the higher the power consumption of the RF system, the more heat the RF operation generates. Therefore, if the processing circuit is configured to update the target impedance position to the target power consumption position when the temperature information is greater than the preset first temperature threshold, then the tuning parameters of the gating tuning circuit 16 are adjusted according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, which can reduce the power consumption of the RF system, thereby helping to reduce the temperature of the RF system. If the processing circuit 20 is configured to update the target impedance position to the target equilibrium position when the temperature information is greater than the preset first temperature threshold, then the tuning parameters of the gating tuning circuit 16 are adjusted according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, which can reduce the power consumption of the RF system while ensuring the efficiency of the transmitting antenna, thereby balancing the security and communication performance of the communication device.

[0136] In one test example, the RF system of this application was used to test the current comparison of three frequency bands LTE B1\B3\B41 on four antennas in free space (no hand holding) and horizontal screen holding. Through comparison, it was found that the current in the horizontal screen holding case and the current in the no hand holding case are mostly better or the increment is very low, and the data improvement is very large. Taking the ANT3 antenna as an example, the power consumption is basically the same under different power levels such as maximum power and minimum power. And updating the target impedance position to the balanced position will also greatly improve the current data.

[0137] In the application, optionally, the processing circuit 20 can be further configured to: when the temperature information is greater than a preset first temperature threshold and less than a preset second temperature threshold, update the target impedance position to a target equilibrium position; when the temperature information is greater than a preset second temperature threshold, update the target impedance position to a target power consumption position. The second temperature threshold is greater than the first temperature threshold. By configuring the processing circuit as described above, the RF system can be cooled down as quickly as possible when the temperature is too high; and when the temperature is relatively low, the cooling rate of the RF system and the efficiency of the transmitting antenna are balanced, so that the RF system can have better communication performance even in a state of low power consumption.

[0138] In one embodiment, the processing circuit 20 is further configured to: when the temperature information is less than a preset first temperature threshold, update the target impedance position to one of a target error vector magnitude position and a target RF power amplifier efficiency position. The target error vector magnitude position is an impedance position where the target error vector magnitude of the RF system is the lowest, and the target RF power amplifier efficiency position is an impedance position where the RF power amplifier efficiency of the RF system is the highest.

[0139] Among them, the error vector amplitude refers to the difference between the theoretical waveform and the actual waveform received, which is the RMS value of the ratio of the average error vector signal power to the average reference signal power. The size of the error vector amplitude can effectively reflect the performance of the RF system. The RF power amplifier efficiency is the efficiency of the RF power amplifier included in the RF system, which is obviously also directly related to the performance of the RF system.

[0140] It can be understood that when the temperature information is less than the preset first temperature threshold, the temperature of the RF system is low at this time, and more attention can be paid to the working performance of the RF system. Therefore, the target impedance position can be updated to one of the target error vector amplitude position and the target RF power amplifier efficiency position, so that the processing circuit adjusts the tuning parameters of the selection tuning circuit according to the real-time impedance position and the target impedance position, and the working performance of the RF system can be optimized.

[0141] In one embodiment, if Fig.17 As shown, the RF system further includes an RF receiving device 40. The RF receiving device 40 is configured with a first receiving port for connecting to the processing circuit 20, a second receiving port, a third antenna port for connecting to a third antenna, and a fourth antenna port for connecting to a fourth antenna; the RF receiving device 40 includes a second receiving circuit.

[0142] Among them, multiple input ends of the second receiving circuit are respectively connected to the third antenna port and the fourth antenna port, and multiple output ends of the second receiving circuit are respectively connected to the first receiving port and the second receiving port of the RF receiving device 40. By integrating the second receiving circuit on the device, the external devices such as filters required for reception can be reduced, the insertion loss can be reduced, the port matching performance can be improved, and the communication performance can be improved.

[0143] The second receiving circuit can support diversity reception of the target RF signal. The RF system equipped with the RF device 10 and the RF receiving device 40 can support main set reception and diversity reception of the target RF signal, thereby improving communication performance.

[0144] In one embodiment, if Fig.18 As shown, the second receiving circuit includes: a third filtering unit 42 , a fourth filtering unit 44 and a receiving unit 46 .

[0145] The first end of the third filtering unit 42 is connected to the third antenna port, and the third filtering unit 42 is used to filter the radio frequency signal received by the third antenna and output a target radio frequency signal.

[0146] A first end of the fourth filtering unit 44 is connected to the fourth antenna port, and the fourth filtering unit 44 is used to filter the radio frequency signal received by the fourth antenna and output a target radio frequency signal.

[0147] Multiple first ends of the receiving unit 46 are respectively connected to the second end of the third filtering unit 42 and the second end of the fourth filtering unit 44 , and multiple second ends of the receiving unit 46 are respectively connected to the first receiving port and the second receiving port of the RF receiving device 40 .

[0148] In one embodiment, the frequency band of the target RF signal supported by the third filtering unit 42 is at least partially the same as the frequency band of the target RF signal supported by the fourth filtering unit 44 to support diversity MIMO reception of the target RF signal of at least one frequency band.

[0149] In one embodiment, the fourth filtering unit 44 includes a bandpass filter. The first end of the bandpass filter is connected to the first ends of the receiving unit 46, and the second end of the bandpass filter is connected to the first end of the receiving unit 46. The bandpass filter can be one or more, for example, Fig.19 As shown, a bandpass filter supports the transmission of radio frequency signals in the B28 frequency band. The bandpass filter may be a SAW (surface acoustic wave) filter.

[0150] In one embodiment, Figure 20-21As shown, there may be multiple band-pass filters, and different band-pass filters have different band-pass filtering ranges.

[0151] In one embodiment, Fig.21 As shown, in the case where there are multiple bandpass filters, the fourth filtering unit 44 further includes: a second switching circuit.

[0152] Among them, the first end of the second switch circuit is connected to the fourth antenna port, and the multiple second ends of the second switch circuit are respectively connected to the second ends of the multiple bandpass filters. The second switch circuit is used to select and transmit the RF signal connected to the fourth antenna port to one of the bandpass filters to support the reception of target RF signals in different frequency bands. Based on the setting of the second switch circuit, multiple bandpass filters can share the fourth antenna, improve the antenna utilization rate, and facilitate the miniaturization design of communication equipment. Among them, the second switch circuit can use a single-pole double-throw switch. The specific selection of the second switch circuit can be determined according to the number of fourth antennas and the number of bandpass filters connected to it.

[0153] In one embodiment, the third filtering unit 42 includes at least one bandpass filter, which is connected in series between the third antenna port and the receiving unit 46.
