[0036] The technical solution provided by the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in the present application are only a part of the embodiments, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments described in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0037] Reference to an embodiment in this application means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative to other embodiments. It can be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.
[0038] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The structure diagram of a signal receiving path 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows. The signal receiving path 10 comprises a first low noise amplifier 101 , a first filter 102 , a first antenna radiator 103 and a first tuner 104 .
[0040] A low noise amplifier (LNA) is an amplifier with a very low noise figure. The low noise amplifier is used to reduce noise and amplify the transmitted radio frequency signal. The low noise amplifier can be used as a high-frequency or intermediate-frequency preamplifier for various radio receivers, as well as an amplifier for high-sensitivity electronic detection equipment. In the present application, the first low noise amplifier 101 is an LNA in the signal receiving path 10. The first low noise amplifier 101 can be selected from a general low noise amplifier, a differential low noise amplifier, a broadband low noise amplifier, a microwave low noise amplifier, etc.
[0041] The first filter 102 is a band pass filter (Band Pass Filter, BPF). The band pass filter allows signals of a certain frequency band to pass through, and suppresses signals, interference and noise below or above the frequency band. The first filter 102 is electrically connected to the first low noise amplifier 101. The first filter 102 and the first low noise amplifier 101 can be directly electrically connected or indirectly electrically connected. Direct electrical connection can be understood in this application as physical contact electrical conduction; or it can also be understood as physical line electrical connection that can directly transmit electrical signals through wires, printed circuit boards (Printed Circuit Board, PCB), etc. Indirect electrical connection can be understood in this application as non-physical contact electrical conduction; or it can also be understood as electrical connection through an intermediate circuit structure that can convert and transmit electrical signals.
[0042] The first filter 102 can pass the RF signal within the target frequency band and filter out the RF signal outside the target frequency band. Optionally, the RF signal within the target frequency band can be a RF signal in a low frequency band (less than 1 GHz), and the RF signal outside the target frequency band can be a RF signal in a non-low frequency band, such as a RF signal in a medium or high frequency band (1 GHz to 3 GHz), a RF signal in an ultra-high frequency band (greater than 3 GHz), etc.; or Figure 2 As shown, the radio frequency signal within the target frequency band may be a radio frequency signal in the frequency range of 758 MHz to 960 MHz, and the radio frequency signal outside the target frequency band includes a radio frequency signal less than 758 MHz and a radio frequency signal greater than 960 MHz.
[0043] Since the bandwidth of the low frequency band is narrower, there are more commonly used working frequency bands and the frequency difference between adjacent working frequency bands is small, the possibility of mutual interference is greater, so the signal receiving path 10 provided in the present application is more meaningful when applied to the reception of radio frequency signals in the low frequency band. In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the radio frequency signal in the target frequency band takes the radio frequency signal in the 758MHz to 960MHz band in the low frequency band as an example.
[0044] The RF signal in the target frequency band includes a RF signal in the first working frequency band and a RF signal in the second working frequency band. It can be understood that the RF signal in the target frequency band includes at least RF signals in two working frequency bands. The second working frequency band is different from the first working frequency band. Figure 3As shown, taking the case where the RF signal in the target frequency band is a RF signal in the frequency band of 758MHz to 960MHz, and the signal receiving path 10 realizes 5G signal reception as an example, the RF signal in the first working frequency band can be a RF signal in the N28 frequency band (758MHz to 803MHz), and the RF signal in the second working frequency band can be a RF signal in the N5 frequency band (869MHz to 894MHz); or, the RF signal in the first working frequency band can be a RF signal in the N28 frequency band (758MHz to 803MHz), and the RF signal in the second working frequency band can be a RF signal in the N8 frequency band (925MHz to 960MHz); or, the RF signal in the first working frequency band can be a RF signal in the N5 frequency band (869MHz to 894MHz), and the RF signal in the second working frequency band can be a RF signal in the N8 frequency band (925MHz to 960MHz).
[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the signal receiving path 10 may also be a path for realizing 4G signal reception, and the RF signal of the first working frequency band may be a RF signal of the B28 frequency band (758MHz~803MHz), and the RF signal of the second working frequency band may be a RF signal of the B5 frequency band (869MHz~894MHz); or, the RF signal of the first working frequency band may be a RF signal of the B28 frequency band (758MHz~803MHz), and the RF signal of the second working frequency band may be a RF signal of the B8 frequency band (925MHz~960MHz); or, the RF signal of the first working frequency band may be a RF signal of the B5 frequency band (869MHz~894MHz), and the RF signal of the second working frequency band may be a RF signal of the B8 frequency band (925MHz~960MHz).
[0046] In practical applications, the RF signal of the first working frequency band and the RF signal of the second working frequency band are based on actual communication requirements. In the following embodiments, the RF signal of the first working frequency band is the RF signal of the N28 frequency band, and the RF signal of the second working frequency band is the RF signal of the N5 frequency band.
[0047] The first antenna radiator 103 is a conductor with a specific shape and size, and is used to receive electromagnetic wave signals. The material of the first antenna radiator 103 can be metal, alloy, etc. The first antenna radiator 103 is electrically connected to the first filter 102. The first antenna radiator 103 and the first filter 102 can be directly or indirectly electrically connected.
[0048] The first tuner 104 is electrically connected to the first antenna radiator 103. The first tuner 104 and the first antenna radiator 103 may be directly electrically connected or indirectly electrically connected. The first tuner 104 is used to achieve frequency band conversion of the electromagnetic wave signal received by the first antenna radiator 103. Specifically, the first tuner 104 includes a matching network formed by a plurality of tuning circuits. The plurality of different tuning circuits in the first tuner 104 can tune the equivalent electrical length of the first antenna radiator 103, change the resonance mode generated by the first antenna radiator 103, and thereby achieve frequency band conversion of the electromagnetic wave signal received by the first antenna radiator 103.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, when the first tuner 104 is in the first tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the first working frequency band and converts it into the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band and transmits it to the first filter 102. In other words, when the first tuner 104 is in the first tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 supports the first working frequency band. In a possible implementation, when the first tuner 104 is in the first tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the radio frequency signal of the N28 frequency band, and basically does not receive the radio frequency signal of the N5 frequency band or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the radio frequency signal of the N5 frequency band. At this time, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly transmits the radio frequency signal of the N28 frequency band to the first filter 102. The first filter 102 receives the radio frequency signal transmitted by the first antenna radiator 103, and further filters out the spurious signals outside the target frequency band in the received radio frequency signal. The signal received by the first low noise amplifier 101 is a radio frequency signal in the N28 frequency band, and has substantially no spurious signals outside the target frequency band, and substantially no radio frequency signals in other frequency bands in the target frequency band except the radio frequency signal in the N28 frequency band.
[0050] When the first tuner 104 is in the second tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the second working frequency band and converts it into the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band and transmits it to the first filter 102. In other words, when the first tuner 104 is in the second tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 supports the second working frequency band. In a possible implementation, when the first tuner 104 is in the second tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the radio frequency signal of the N5 frequency band, and basically does not receive the radio frequency signal of the N28 frequency band or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the radio frequency signal of the N28 frequency band. At this time, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly transmits the radio frequency signal of the N5 frequency band to the first filter 102. The first filter 102 receives the radio frequency signal transmitted by the first antenna radiator 103, and further filters out the spurious signals outside the target frequency band in the received radio frequency signal. The signal received by the first low noise amplifier 101 is a radio frequency signal in the N5 frequency band, and has substantially no spurious signals outside the target frequency band, and substantially no radio frequency signals in other frequency bands in the target frequency band except the radio frequency signal in the N5 frequency band.
[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of a signal receiving passband formed by a signal receiving path 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The middle curve 1 is a signal receiving passband formed by the first filter 102 filtering out the radio frequency signals outside the target frequency band. Figure 5 The middle curve 2 is a signal receiving passband formed by the first tuner 104 tuning the first antenna radiator 103. Figure 5 It can be seen from the figure that the signal receiving passband ( Figure 5 The intersection of curve 1 and curve 2 in the middle) can not only realize the transmission of RF signals in two working frequency bands, but also avoid the RF signals in the N28 band and the N5 band from entering the first low noise amplifier 101 at the same time, causing the OBB situation in the first low noise amplifier 101, thereby improving the reliability of the signal receiving path 10.
[0052] The signal receiving path 10 provided in the present application includes a first low-noise amplifier 101, a first filter 102, a first antenna radiator 103 and a first tuner 104. The first filter 102 can pass the radio frequency signal within the target frequency band and filter out the radio frequency signal outside the target frequency band. The first tuner 104 can enable the first antenna radiator 103 to receive the electromagnetic wave signal of the first working frequency band within the target frequency band and convert it into the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band and transmit it to the first filter 102, or enable the first antenna radiator 103 to receive the electromagnetic wave signal of the second working frequency band within the target frequency band and convert it into the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band and transmit it to the first filter 102. Therefore, through the joint action of the first tuner 104 and the first filter 102, the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band and the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band can be respectively transmitted to the low-noise amplifier to form a signal receiving passband of the working frequency band, which can ensure the normal operation of the low-noise amplifier and avoid out of band blocking (OBB). In addition, the signal receiving path only needs to be provided with the first filter 102, and the number of filters is small, which can reduce the cost.
[0053] Among them, Figure 6 As shown, the first tuner 104 includes a switch 140, a first tuning circuit 141 and a second tuning circuit 142. The switch 140 can be a single-pole double-throw switch, a single-pole four-throw switch, a double-pole double-throw switch, etc. The first tuning circuit 141 can include at least one of impedance elements such as a capacitor, an inductor, and a resistor. When the first tuning circuit 141 includes a plurality of impedance elements, the electrical connection between the plurality of impedance elements can include series connection and / or parallel connection. The second tuning circuit 142 can include at least one of impedance elements such as a capacitor, an inductor, and a resistor. When the second tuning circuit 142 includes a plurality of impedance elements, the electrical connection between the plurality of impedance elements can include series connection and / or parallel connection.
[0054] The switch 140 is electrically connected to the first antenna radiator 103, the first tuning circuit 141, and the second tuning circuit 142. The switch 140 is used to control the first antenna radiator 103 to be connected to one of the first tuning circuit 141 and the second tuning circuit 142. Specifically, when the first tuner 104 is in the first tuning state, the first tuning circuit 141 and the first antenna radiator 103 are connected through the switch 140. When the first tuner 104 is in the second tuning state, the second tuning circuit 142 and the first antenna radiator 103 are connected through the switch 140.
[0055] The impedance value of the first tuning circuit 141 is different from the impedance value of the second tuning circuit 142, so that when the first antenna radiator 103 is connected to the first tuning circuit 141, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the RF signal of the first working frequency band, basically does not receive the RF signal of the second working frequency band, or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the RF signal of the second working frequency band. When the first antenna radiator 103 is connected to the second tuning circuit 142, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the RF signal of the second working frequency band, basically does not receive the RF signal of the first working frequency band, or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the RF signal of the first working frequency band.
[0056] By making the first tuner 104 include a switching switch 140, a first tuning circuit 141 and a second tuning circuit 142, and switching the conduction state of the first antenna radiator 103 and the first tuning circuit 141 and the second tuning circuit 142 by switching the switching switch 140, it can be achieved that when the first tuner 104 is in the first tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the first working frequency band, and when the first tuner 104 is in the second tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the second working frequency band.
[0057] Further, the RF signal in the target frequency band also includes a RF signal in a third working frequency band. It is understandable that the RF signal in the target frequency band includes at least RF signals in three working frequency bands. The third working frequency band is different from the first working frequency band, and the third working frequency band is different from the second working frequency band. In the following embodiments, the RF signal in the third working frequency band is an RF signal in the N8 frequency band as an example.
[0058] When the first tuner 104 is in the third tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the third working frequency band and converts it into the radio frequency signal of the third working frequency band and transmits it to the first filter 102. In a possible implementation, when the first tuner 104 is in the third tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the radio frequency signal of the N8 frequency band, and basically does not receive the radio frequency signal of the N5 frequency band and the N28 frequency band, or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the radio frequency signal of the N5 frequency band and the N28 frequency band. At this time, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly transmits the radio frequency signal of the N8 frequency band to the first filter 102. The first filter 102 receives the radio frequency signal transmitted by the first antenna radiator 103, and further filters out the spurious signals outside the target frequency band in the received radio frequency signal. The signal received by the first low noise amplifier 101 is the radio frequency signal of the N8 frequency band, and there is basically no spurious signal outside the target frequency band, and there is basically no radio frequency signal of other frequency bands in the target frequency band except the radio frequency signal of the N8 frequency band.
[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a signal receiving passband formed by a signal receiving path 10 according to another embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 The middle curve 3 is a signal receiving passband formed by the first filter 102 filtering out the radio frequency signals outside the target frequency band. Figure 7 The middle curve 4 is a signal receiving passband formed by the first tuner 104 tuning the first antenna radiator 103. Figure 7 It can be seen from the figure that the signal receiving passband ( Figure 7 The intersection of curve 3 and curve 4 in the middle) can not only realize the transmission of RF signals in three working frequency bands, but also prevent the RF signals in the N28 band, the N5 band and the N8 band from entering the first low noise amplifier 101 at the same time, causing the OBB situation in the first low noise amplifier 101, thereby improving the reliability of the signal receiving path 10.
[0060] Among them, Figure 8 As shown, the first tuner 104 further includes a third tuning circuit 143. The third tuning circuit 143 may include at least one of impedance elements such as capacitors, inductors, resistors, etc. When the third tuning circuit 143 includes multiple impedance elements, the electrical connection between the multiple impedance elements may include series connection and / or parallel connection.
[0061] The switch 140 is also electrically connected to the third tuning circuit 143. In this embodiment, the switch 140 is used to control the first antenna radiator 103 to be connected to one of the first tuning circuit 141, the second tuning circuit 142 and the third tuning circuit 143. Specifically, when the first tuner 104 is in the first tuning state, the first tuning circuit 141 is connected to the first antenna radiator 103 through the switch 140; when the first tuner 104 is in the second tuning state, the second tuning circuit 142 is connected to the first antenna radiator 103 through the switch 140; when the first tuner 104 is in the third tuning state, the third tuning circuit 143 is connected to the first antenna radiator 103 through the switch 140.
[0062] The impedance value of the third tuning circuit 143 is different from the impedance value of the first tuning circuit 141 , and the impedance value of the third tuning circuit 143 is different from the impedance value of the second tuning circuit 142 . Thus, when the first antenna radiator 103 is connected to the first tuning circuit 141, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band, and basically does not receive the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band or the radio frequency signal of the third working frequency band, or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band or the radio frequency signal of the third working frequency band; when the first antenna radiator 103 is connected to the second tuning circuit 142, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band, and basically does not receive the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band or the radio frequency signal of the third working frequency band, or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band or the radio frequency signal of the third working frequency band; when the first antenna radiator 103 is connected to the third tuning circuit 143, the first antenna radiator 103 mainly receives the radio frequency signal of the third working frequency band, and basically does not receive the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band or the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band, or has the effect of suppressing the reception of the radio frequency signal of the first working frequency band or the radio frequency signal of the second working frequency band.
[0063] By making the first tuner 104 include a switching switch 140, a first tuning circuit 141, a second tuning circuit 142 and a third tuning circuit 143, and switching the conduction state of the first antenna radiator 103 and the first tuning circuit 141, the second tuning circuit 142 and the third tuning circuit 143 by switching the switching switch 140, it can be achieved that when the first tuner 104 is in the first tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the first working frequency band, when the first tuner 104 is in the second tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the second working frequency band, and when the first tuner 104 is in the third tuning state, the first antenna radiator 103 receives the electromagnetic wave signal of the third working frequency band.
[0064] like Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the structure of a communication module 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application.
