[0002] The current wireless network is essential in people's life, however, in the scene where the wireless network signal is difficult to cover (such as basement, high-rise building, ship, etc.), signal amplifier needs to be used to amplify the signal to ensure the normal transmission of the wireless network signal. Generally, the signal amplifier mainly includes an amplifier main body, a protection box and an antenna. The signal amplifier main body is provided with a signal enhancement part to amplify the wireless signal, which can play a role of signal amplification.
[0003] With the development of 5G signal network construction, the situation of 4th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (4G) signal and 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) signal co-coverage is becoming more and more common, and the current mature signal amplifier only amplifies the single standard network, that is, it can only amplify the 4G signal or the 5G signal alone. This single standard network signal amplification cannot cope with more and more complex network situations. And to achieve simultaneous amplification of 4G signal and 5G signal, two different devices need to be installed, which occupies too much space and has high cost. SUMMARY

[0033] In order to enable a person skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0037] It can be understood that each unit and module involved in the embodiments of the present application can correspond to only one entity structure, or can be composed of multiple entity structures, or multiple units and modules can be integrated into one entity structure.
[0038] It can be understood that the functions and steps marked in the flowcharts and block diagrams of the present application can occur in an order different from that marked in the drawings without conflict.
[0039] It can be understood that in the flowcharts and block diagrams of the present application, the architecture, functions and operations of the possible implementations of the systems, devices, apparatuses and methods according to the embodiments of the present application are shown. Each block in the flowcharts or block diagrams can represent a unit, module, program segment, code, which contains executable instructions for realizing the specified functions. Moreover, each block or combination of blocks in the block diagrams and flowcharts can be realized by a hardware-based system for realizing the specified functions, or by a combination of hardware and computer instructions.
[0040] It can be understood that the units and modules involved in the embodiments of the present application can be realized in a software manner, or in a hardware manner, for example, the units and modules can be located in a processor.
[0041] The embodiments of the present application provide an indoor distribution system, such as Figure 1As shown, the indoor distribution system 00 comprises a first antenna 1, an isolator 2, at least one dual-mode signal amplifier 3 and at least one second antenna 4. Each dual-mode signal amplifier 3 in the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier and each second antenna 4 in the at least one second antenna correspond to each other. The first antenna 1 is configured to receive a signal transmitted by a base station BS and transmit the signal from the base station BS to the isolator 2. The signal from the base station BS comprises a first type of network signal and a second type of network signal. The isolator 2 is configured to receive the signal from the first antenna 1 and transmit the signal from the first antenna 1 to each dual-mode signal amplifier 3 in the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier, respectively. The dual-mode signal amplifier 3 is configured to receive the signal from the isolator 2, amplify the signal from the isolator 2 to obtain a processed signal from the isolator 2, and transmit the processed signal from the isolator to the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3. The second antenna 4 is configured to receive the signal from the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 corresponding to the second antenna 4 and transmit the signal from the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 corresponding to the second antenna 4 to a terminal UE.
[0042] It can be understood that the signal transmitted by the base station BS can reach the terminal through the first antenna 1, the isolator 2, each dual-mode signal amplifier 3 in the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier and each second antenna 4 in the at least one second antenna, and complete data downlink.
[0043] It can be understood that, in the case that the first type of network signal is a 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G for short) signal, due to the same frequency band of uplink and downlink in 5G time division duplex, the presence of the isolator 2 can make the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 receiving signals in the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier and the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 transmitting signals in the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier work at the same time. For example, the isolation of the isolator 2 can be set according to the maximum transmission power of each dual-mode signal amplifier 3 in the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier and the maximum allowable non-damage input power, so that the isolator 2 attenuates the signal, thereby protecting the equipment power amplifier from being damaged by strong input signals.
[0044] For example, in the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier, the maximum transmission power of a certain dual-mode signal amplifier 3 is 30 dB, the maximum allowable non-damage input power of another dual-mode signal amplifier 3 is 0 dB, and the isolation of the isolator 2 is greater than 30 dB. In this way, even if the signal output by a certain dual-mode signal amplifier 3 enters another dual-mode signal amplifier 3 through the isolator 2, it also enters another dual-mode signal amplifier 3 after being attenuated by 30 dB through the high-isolation three-way splitter. That is, the input power of another dual-mode signal amplifier 3 is 0 dB, so as not to cause damage to another dual-mode signal amplifier 3.
[0045] It can be understood that the positions of each of the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier 3 can be set according to actual application scenarios. For example, the positions of each of the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier 3 can be set according to the output power, spatial loss and line loss of each of the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier 3, respectively.
[0046] For example, in the case that the output power of a certain dual-mode signal amplifier 3 and another dual-mode signal amplifier 3 is 80 dB, if there is no spatial loss and line loss, the power can reach 160 dB, and the isolator 2 can provide attenuation of more than 30 dB, therefore, when setting the positions of the certain dual-mode signal amplifier 3 and the another dual-mode signal amplifier 3, it is necessary to ensure that the spatial loss is about 130 dB.
[0047] It can be understood that the signal from the base station BS includes the first type of network signal and the second type of network signal, and not only the first type of network signal can be received and processed, but also the second type of network signal can be transmitted and processed. The dual-mode signal amplifier 3 in the indoor distribution system 00 provided by the embodiments of the present application can simultaneously perform signal amplification of the first type of network signal and the second type of network signal, and can cope with the signal amplification problem under the co-coverage of the 4G network and the 5G network. At the same time, it is not necessary to additionally install two kinds of equipment, and it can cope with the scene where the hardware laying is limited, and can utilize the existing 4G network coverage to iteratively upgrade the equipment, which can greatly reduce the cost and laying difficulty.
[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 comprises a first combiner 31, a first communication link 32, a second communication link 33 and a second combiner 34. The first combiner 31 is configured to receive the signal from the isolator 2 and transmit the signal from the isolator 2 to the first communication link 32 and the second communication link 33. The first communication link 32 is connected between the first combiner 31 and the second combiner 34, configured to receive the signal from the first combiner 31, amplify the first type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31 to obtain a first processed first type of network signal, and send the first processed first type of network signal to the second combiner 34. The second communication link 33 is connected in parallel with the first communication link 32, configured to receive the signal from the first combiner 31, process the second type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31 to obtain a first processed second type of network signal, and send the first processed second type of network signal to the second combiner 34. The second combiner 34 is configured to receive the first processed first type of network signal from the first communication link 32 and send the first processed first type of network signal to the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3, and receive the first processed second type of network signal from the second communication link 33 and send the first processed second type of network signal to the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3.
[0049] It can be understood that the frequency band of the first type of network signal and the frequency band of the second type of network signal are significantly different. The second type of network signal mainly uses the frequency band of 700MHz to 2.6GHz, while the first type of network signal uses a higher frequency band, such as 3.5GHz, 26GHz and 28GHz, etc. The transmission technologies of the first type of network signal and the second type of network signal are also different. The second type of network signal adopts a more mature LTE technology, which has strong signal penetration ability and coverage. While the first type of network signal adopts a more advanced technology, such as millimeter wave transmission, although it has a significant improvement in transmission rate and capacity, it is limited in coverage. The indoor distribution system provided by the embodiment of the present application transmits and processes the first type of network signal by setting the first communication link 32, transmits and processes the second type of network signal by setting the second communication link 33, and the first communication link 32 and the second communication link 33 are connected in parallel, so that the first type of network signal and the second type of network signal can be processed at the same time.
[0050] It can be understood that the signal received by the first combiner 31 from the isolator 2 is the signal from the base station BS forwarded by the isolator 2, and the signal from the base station BS can be a second type of network signal or a first type of network signal, that is, the signal received by the first combiner 31 can be a second type of network signal or a first type of network signal. When the first combiner 31 transmits the signal to the first communication link 32 and the second communication link 33, it does not only transmit the first type of network signal to the first communication link 32, nor only transmit the second type of network signal to the second communication link 33, but transmits the received signal to the first communication link 32 and the second communication link 33 at the same time. After receiving the signal from the first combiner 31, the first communication link 32 only processes the first type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31, and does not process the second type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31. Similarly, after receiving the signal from the first combiner 31, the second communication link 33 only processes the second type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31, and does not process the first type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31.
[0051] It can be understood that the technology of amplifying and processing the second type of network signal in the second communication link is mature, for example, a mobile phone signal enhancer or a repeater can be used as the second communication link. In this way, in the scene where the hardware laying is limited, the existing 4G network coverage can be used for iterative upgrading of the device, which can greatly reduce the cost and laying difficulty.
[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The first communication link 32 includes a first sub-link 321 and a control module 322. The first sub-link 321 is used to receive the signal from the first combiner 31, to process the first type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31 according to the first control signal from the control module 322, to obtain the first processed first type of network signal, and to send the first processed first type of network signal to the second combiner 34. The control module 322 is connected to the first sub-link 321 and is used to send the first control signal to the first sub-link 321.
[0053] It can be understood that the first sub-link 321 can be provided with an enhancement device that can enhance the first type of network signal to amplify and process the first type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31. According to the requirements of the application scene, the amplification multiple of the first sub-link 321 or the requirement of the first type of network signal amplification can be set in the control module 322, so that the first processed first type of network signal can meet the requirements of the application scene.
[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the first sub-link 321 includes a first low noise amplifier LNA1, a first gain control module ZY1, a first driving stage QD1, and a first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 connected in series. The first low noise amplifier LNA1 is configured to receive the first type of network signal from the first combiner 31, amplify the first type of network signal from the first combiner 31, and obtain a first primary amplified signal. The first gain control module ZY1 is configured to determine the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal, and send the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal to the control module 322. The control module 322 is configured to determine whether the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal meets a first preset condition. If the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal meets the first preset condition, the control module 322 does not send a first control signal to the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1, so that the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 does not amplify the first primary amplified signal. If the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal does not meet the first preset condition, the control module 322 sends the first control signal to the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1. The first control signal is configured to control the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 to amplify the first primary amplified signal, so that the signal amplified by the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 meets the first preset condition. The first driving stage QD1 is configured to transmit the first primary amplified signal to the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1. The first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 is configured to amplify or not amplify the first primary amplified signal under the control of the control module 322, and obtain a first processed first type of network signal.
[0055] It can be understood that the first low noise amplifier LNA1 can only receive and process the signals of the frequency band conforming to the first type of network signal, and therefore the second type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31 will not be processed by the first low noise amplifier LNA1 even if it enters the first sub-link. After the first low noise amplifier LNA1 processes the first type of network signal in the signal from the first combiner 31 and obtains the first primary amplified signal, the first gain control module ZY1 feeds the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal to the control module 322, and the control module 322 judges whether the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal meets the first preset condition. The first preset condition can be that the intensity value of the first processed first type of network signal cannot be lower than the first preset intensity value. If the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal meets the first preset condition, the control module 322 controls the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 to no longer enhance the first primary amplified signal, but directly outputs the first primary amplified signal. In this case, the first primary amplified signal is the first processed first type of network signal. If the intensity value of the first primary amplified signal does not meet the first preset condition, the control module 322 controls the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 to enhance the first primary amplified signal, and determines the amplitude of the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 to enhance the first primary amplified signal (for example, the control module 322 can set a step size and control the number of steps of the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 to enhance).
[0056] It can be understood that the first low noise amplifier LNA1 is a low noise amplifier (Low-Noise Amplifier, LNA), an important circuit device widely used in wireless communication systems. Its main function is to amplify the weak signal from the antenna to a sufficient intensity, so that the subsequent circuit can effectively process. In a wireless communication system, the low noise amplifier is usually used as the first stage amplifier of the receiving link, and undertakes the key tasks of amplifying weak signals, increasing system sensitivity, and improving signal-to-noise ratio. The low noise amplifier needs to amplify the weak signal as much as possible while not introducing too much noise to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio of the system. The first driving stage QD1 can provide sufficient power to drive the following radio frequency power amplifier to ensure signal quality and intensity. The first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 is a radio frequency power amplifier (RF Power Amplifier, PA), which is one of the more critical components in the link, used to ensure that the signal can cover the required distance and has sufficient power output.
[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, the second antenna 4 is also configured to receive a signal transmitted by the terminal UE and transmit the signal from the terminal UE to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 corresponding to the second antenna 4. The dual-mode signal amplifier 3 is also configured to receive the signal from the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3, amplify the signal from the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3, obtain a processed signal from the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3, and transmit the processed signal from the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 to the isolator 2. The isolator 2 is also configured to receive the signal from each of the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier 3 and transmit the signal from each of the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier 3 to the first antenna 1. The first antenna 1 is also configured to receive the signal from the isolator 2 and transmit the signal from the isolator 2 to the base station BS. The signal from the terminal UE includes the first type of network signal and the second type of network signal.
[0058] As can be understood, the signal transmitted by the terminal UE can sequentially pass through each of the at least one second antenna 4, each of the at least one dual-mode signal amplifier 3, the isolator 2, and the first antenna 1 to reach the base station, thereby completing data uplink.
[0059] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 6 The second combiner 34 is also configured to receive the signal from the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 and transmit the signal from the second antenna 4 corresponding to the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 to the first communication link 32 and the second communication link 33, respectively. The first communication link 32 is also configured to receive the signal from the second combiner 34, amplify the first type of network signal in the signal from the second combiner 34, obtain a second processed first type of network signal, and transmit the second processed first type of network signal to the first combiner 31. The second communication link 33 is also configured to receive the signal from the second combiner 34, amplify the second type of network signal in the signal from the second combiner 34, obtain a second processed second type of network signal, and transmit the second processed second type of network signal to the first combiner 31. The first combiner 31 is also configured to receive the second processed first type of network signal from the first communication link 32 and transmit the second processed first type of network signal to the isolator 2, and receive the second processed second type of network signal from the second communication link 33 and transmit the second processed second type of network signal to the isolator 2.
[0060] As can be understood, the dual-mode signal amplifier 3 can transmit and process uplink data.
[0061] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 7As shown, the first communication link 32 further comprises a second sub-link 323. The second sub-link 323 is configured to receive the signal from the second combiner 34, process the first type network signal in the signal from the second combiner 34 according to a second control signal from a control module 322 to obtain a second processed first type network signal, and send the second processed first type network signal to the first combiner 31. The control module 322 is further connected to the second sub-link 323 and configured to send the second control signal to the second sub-link 323.
[0062] It can be understood that the first sub-link 321 is a downlink in the first communication link 32, and the second sub-link 323 is an uplink in the first communication link 32. Similarly, an enhancement device that can enhance the first type network signal can be arranged in the second sub-link 323 to process the first type network signal in the signal from the second combiner 34. According to the requirements of the application scenario, the amplification multiple of the second sub-link 323, or the requirement of the first type network signal amplification, can be set in the control module 322, so that the second processed first type network signal can meet the requirements of the application scenario.
[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the first communication link 32 further comprises a second sub-link 323. The second sub-link 323 is configured to receive the signal from the second combiner 34, process the first type network signal in the signal from the second combiner 34 according to a second control signal from a control module 322 to obtain a second processed first type network signal, and send the second processed first type network signal to the first combiner 31. The control module 322 is further connected to the second sub-link 323 and configured to send the second control signal to the second sub-link 323. Figure 8 As shown, the second sub-link 323 comprises a second low noise amplifier LNA2, a second gain control module ZY2, a second driver stage QD2 and a second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 connected in series. The second low noise amplifier LNA2 is configured to receive the first type network signal in the signal from the second combiner 34, amplify and process the first type network signal in the signal from the second combiner 34 to obtain a second primary amplified signal. The second gain control module ZY2 is configured to determine the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal, and send the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal to the control module 322. The control module 322 is configured to determine whether the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal meets a second preset condition. If the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal meets the second preset condition, the control module 322 does not send a second control signal to the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2, so that the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 does not process the second primary amplified signal. If the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal does not meet the second preset condition, the control module 322 sends the second control signal to the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2. The second control signal controls the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 to amplify and process the second primary amplified signal, so that the signal amplified by the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 meets the second preset condition. The second driver stage QD2 is configured to transmit the second primary amplified signal to the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2. The second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 is configured to amplify and process the second primary amplified signal under the control of the control module 322, or not to amplify and process the second primary amplified signal, and obtain the second processed first type network signal.
[0064] Understandably, the second low-noise amplifier (LNA2) can only receive and process signals in the frequency band that conform to the first type of network signal. Therefore, even if the second type of network signal from the second combiner 34 enters the second sub-link, it will not be processed by the second LNA2. After the second LNA2 processes the first type of network signal from the second combiner 34 and obtains the second primary amplified signal, the second gain control module ZY2 feeds back the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal to the control module 322. The control module 322 determines whether the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal meets the second preset condition. The second preset condition can be that the intensity value of the second processed first type of network signal cannot be lower than the second preset intensity value. If the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal meets the second preset condition, the control module 322 controls the second RF power amplifier PA2 to no longer amplify the second primary amplified signal, but directly outputs the second primary amplified signal. In this case, the second primary amplified signal is the second processed first type of network signal. If the intensity value of the second primary amplified signal does not meet the second preset condition, the control module 322 controls the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 to enhance the second primary amplified signal and determines the amplitude of the enhancement of the second primary amplified signal by the second radio frequency power amplifier PA1 (for example, the control module 322 can set a step size and control the number of enhancement levels of the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2).
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first communication link 32 also includes a first circulator HX1 and a second circulator HX2. The first circulator HX1 is connected to a first low-noise amplifier LNA1, a first combiner 31, and a second radio frequency power amplifier PA2, respectively. It is used to receive signals from the first combiner 31, transmit signals from the first combiner 31 to the first low-noise amplifier LNA1, and receive a second processed first-type network signal from the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2, and transmit the second processed first-type network signal to the first combiner 31. The second circulator HX2 is connected to the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1, the second combiner 34, and the second low-noise amplifier LNA2, respectively. It is used to receive a first processed first-type network signal from the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 and transmit the first processed first-type network signal to the second combiner 34, and to receive signals from the second combiner 34 and transmit signals from the second combiner 34 to the second low-noise amplifier LNA2.
[0066] It can be understood that the circulator is a device that allows electromagnetic waves to be transmitted unidirectionally in a loop. It is also called a unidirectional transmitter. Its working principle is based on the characteristics of ferrite material and Faraday rotation effect. When electromagnetic waves are input from a certain port, they will propagate in a specific direction within the circulator and be output from the output port, while the reverse transmission signal is isolated and does not affect normal transmission. That is, the circulator can isolate signals in different directions and ensure that signals are transmitted along the expected path. It can isolate transmit signals and receive signals to prevent transmit signals from interfering with receive signals, thereby improving communication quality. By isolating the reverse signal, the circulator can protect the device from the impact of reflected signals. In particular, in a high-power radio frequency system, the circulator can prevent reflected signals from damaging key devices such as power amplifiers. The circulator has the characteristics of unidirectional transmission of high-frequency signal energy, which controls the transmission of electromagnetic waves in a certain loop direction, achieving unidirectional transmission and isolation of signals. In addition, the circulator has the characteristics of small size, wide frequency band, and small insertion loss.
[0067] It can be understood that the first circulator HX1 and the second circulator HX2 can isolate the signals of the first sub-link 321 and the signals of the second sub-link 323, and ensure that the direction of signal flow in the first sub-link 321 is downward, and the direction of signal flow in the second sub-link 323 is upward.
[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 The control module 322 includes a first logarithmic detection module DS1, a second logarithmic detection module DS2, and a sampling control unit MCU. The first logarithmic detection module DS1 is connected to the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 and the sampling control unit MCU, respectively, for measuring the intensity value of the first processed first type network signal and sending the intensity value of the first processed first type network signal to the sampling control unit MCU. The second logarithmic detection module DS2 is connected to the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 and the sampling control unit MCU, respectively, for measuring the intensity value of the second processed first type network signal and sending the intensity value of the second processed first type network signal to the sampling control unit MCU. The sampling control unit MCU is used to receive the intensity value of the first processed first type network signal from the first logarithmic detection module DS1, and control the processing of subsequent signals by the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 according to the intensity value of the first processed first type network signal. And used to receive the intensity value of the second processed first type network signal from the second logarithmic detection module DS2, and control the processing of subsequent signals by the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 according to the intensity value of the second processed first type network signal. Wherein, the subsequent signal includes the signal after the current signal enters the first sub-link.
[0069] It can be understood that the subsequent signal refers to the signal entering the first sub-link later than the current signal in the signal stream of the first type of network signal.
[0070] Exemplarily, in the case that the intensity value of the first type of network signal after the first processing or the intensity value of the first type of network signal after the second processing is too large (such as exceeding the third preset intensity value), the sampling control unit MCU can gradually reduce the amplification multiples of the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 and the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 by gradually reducing the amplification step or the enhancement number in the processing of the subsequent signal, so that the signal amplified by the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 and the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 in the subsequent signal amplification work is gradually reduced to an appropriate range.
[0071] It can be understood that by measuring the intensity values of the output signals of the two radio frequency power amplifiers (the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 and the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2) in real time through the two logarithmic detection modules (the first logarithmic detection module DS1 and the second logarithmic detection module DS2), the sampling control unit MCU can dynamically adjust the working state of the radio frequency power amplifier according to the information of these intensity values, which helps to maintain the stability and consistency of the output signal, especially in the case of large signal intensity fluctuation. According to the real-time feedback of the signal intensity, the control module MCU can more accurately control the output power of the radio frequency power amplifier, thereby avoiding unnecessary power waste, which helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the indoor distribution system 00. By dynamically adjusting the output power of the two radio frequency power amplifiers, the control module MCU can ensure that the output signal always remains in an appropriate intensity range, thereby enhancing the transmission quality and reception effect of the signal. Moreover, when the output signal intensity of the two radio frequency power amplifiers is too high, the control module MCU can prevent equipment overload or damage by reducing the output power of the radio frequency power amplifier, which helps to prolong the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 11As shown, the control module 322 further includes a signal correction module XZ, a synchronization module TB, a first switch SPDT1 and a second switch SPDT2. Among them, the signal correction module XZ is connected with the first low noise amplifier LNA1 and the synchronization module TB respectively, used for correcting the signal amplified by the first low noise amplifier LNA1 to obtain a corrected signal, and transmitting the corrected signal to the synchronization module TB. The synchronization module TB is connected with the signal correction module XZ and the sampling control unit MCU respectively, used for identifying and detecting whether the corrected signal is synchronized with the time slot of the base station, and feeding back the detection result to the sampling control unit MCU. The sampling control unit MCU is used for receiving the detection result from the synchronization module TB, keeping the first switch SPDT1 and the second switch SPDT2 in a closed state in the case that the detection result is that the corrected signal is synchronized with the time slot of the base station, and turning off the first switch SPDT1 and the second switch SPDT2 in the case that the detection result is that the corrected signal is not synchronized with the time slot of the 5G base station. The first switch SPDT1 is connected in series between the first circulator HX1 and the first low noise amplifier LNA1, used for being opened under the control of the sampling control unit MCU to disconnect the signal path between the first circulator HX1 and the first low noise amplifier LNA1, and used for being closed under the control of the sampling control unit MCU to form a signal path between the first circulator HX1 and the first low noise amplifier LNA1. The second switch SPDT2 is connected in series between the second circulator HX2 and the second low noise amplifier LNA2, used for being opened under the control of the sampling control unit MCU to disconnect the signal path between the second circulator HX2 and the second low noise amplifier LNA2, and used for being closed under the control of the sampling control unit MCU to form a signal path between the second circulator HX2 and the second low noise amplifier LNA2.
[0073] It can be understood that the signal correction module XZ can obtain the signal processed by the first low noise amplifier LNA1 from the first low noise amplifier LNA1 (for example, connecting the signal correction module XZ between the L1 stage and the L2 stage of the first low noise amplifier LNA1), and correct the signal processed by the first low noise amplifier LNA1 to obtain a corrected signal, so as to adjust the signal processed by the first low noise amplifier LNA1 to a signal that can be identified by the synchronization module TB, so that the synchronization module TB identifies the timestamp of the corrected signal, and determines whether the corrected signal is synchronized with the time slot of the base station according to the timestamp of the corrected signal.
[0074] Exemplarily, in the case that the first type of network signal is a 5G signal, since the 5G technology supports large-scale multi-user access, time slot synchronization can ensure that different user equipment will not interfere with each other in the same time window. This is particularly important for systems that use time division multiple access or super time division multiplexing mechanisms. In time slot synchronization, each device transmits and receives signals in a predetermined time sequence, which can reduce signal overlap and interference caused by time offset, and improve the integrity and quality of the signal. Therefore, only when the corrected signal is synchronized with the time slot of the 5G base station, the processing and transmission of the signal will not cause errors in the transmission of the 5G signal. Once the corrected signal is not synchronized with the time slot of the 5G base station, the sampling control unit MCU can turn off the first switch SPDT1 and the second switch SPDT2, at which time the first communication link is disconnected, and the processing and transmission of the 5G signal are no longer performed.
[0075] It can be understood that, under normal circumstances, the first switch SPDT1 and the second switch SPDT2 are in a closed state to ensure the normal operation of the first sub-link 321 and the second sub-link 323.
[0076] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 12 , the first switch SPDT1 and the second switch SPDT2 can be single-pole double-throw switches. When the first switch SPDT1 is closed, the signal path between the first circulator HX1 and the first low-noise amplifier LNA1 is closed. When the first switch SPDT1 is open, the signal path between the first circulator HX1 and the first low-noise amplifier LNA1 is open. The first switch SPDT1 can be connected to the load FZ1. Similarly, when the second switch SPDT2 is closed, the signal path between the second circulator HX2 and the second low-noise amplifier LNA2 is closed. When the second switch SPDT2 is open, the signal path between the second circulator HX2 and the second low-noise amplifier LNA2 is open. The second switch SPDT2 can be connected to the load FZ2.
[0077] In some embodiments, the first antenna 1 is arranged outdoors.
[0078] It can be understood that the first antenna 1 is used for information interaction with the base station BS. In order to ensure that the first antenna 1 can normally interact with the base station BS, the first antenna 1 can be arranged outdoors.
[0079] Exemplarily, the first antenna can be a 5G omnidirectional antenna with a customized frequency band. In the case that the installation position of the first antenna is limited, the first antenna can be modified to ensure that it can receive base station signals from different angles through a 360-degree horizontal lobe, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the indoor distribution system.
[0080] In some embodiments, each of the at least one second antenna 4 is arranged in a different area of one indoor space or different areas of multiple indoor spaces.
[0081] It can be understood that arranging the at least one second antenna 4 in different positions of one indoor space can ensure the signal coverage and strength of the one indoor space. Arranging the at least one second antenna 4 in different positions of multiple indoor spaces can ensure the signal coverage and strength of the multiple indoor spaces.
[0082] The following describes an indoor distribution system provided by the embodiments of the present application, taking the first type of network signal as a 5G signal and the second type of network signal as a 4G signal as an example.
[0083] In the example, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the indoor distribution system is composed of an outdoor receiving antenna (i.e., a first antenna), a high-isolation triplexer (i.e., an isolator), a 4G and 5G signal amplifier main body (i.e., a dual-mode signal amplifier, also referred to as a 4G&5G device hereinafter), and an indoor antenna (i.e., a second antenna).
[0084] Among them, the outdoor receiving antenna serves as a signal forwarding device. In general, the outdoor receiving antenna has strict requirements for installation position. In the example, a 5G omnidirectional antenna with a customized frequency band is selected. In the case where the antenna installation position is limited, the antenna is ensured to be able to receive base station signals from different angles through a 360-degree horizontal lobe, thereby ensuring stable operation of the system.
[0085] In a time division duplexing (TDD) same-frequency system, the uplink and downlink frequencies are the same. As shown in Figure 13 , when multiple 4G&5G devices (4G&5G device A and 4G&5G device B) are started synchronously, if one of the 4G&5G devices is out of synchronization, it will cause damage during startup. The use of a high-isolation triplexer increases the isolation between devices, so that the spatial loss between two indoor distributions is greater than 130 dB, thereby ensuring the safe and normal operation of the devices. That is, due to the reason that the uplink and downlink frequencies of the 5G network are in the same frequency band, the addition of a high-isolation triplexer can make one 4G&5G device transmit signals and one 4G&5G device receive signals in the indoor distribution system, so that the high-isolation triplexer attenuates the transmitted signals into another 4G&5G device, thereby protecting the 4G&5G device power amplifier from being damaged due to strong input signals.
[0086] For example, as shown in Figure 13As shown, the maximum transmit power of the 4G&5G device A is 30dB, the maximum allowable input power of the 4G&5G device B is 0dB, and the isolation of the high-isolation triplexer is greater than 30dB. Therefore, even if the signal output by the 4G&5G device A enters the 4G&5G device B through the high-isolation triplexer, it is attenuated by 30dB before entering the 4G&5G device B. That is, the input power of the 4G&5G device B is 0dB, which will not cause damage to the 4G&5G device B.
[0087] In addition, as an example, when the output power of the 4G&5G device A and the 4G&5G device B is 80dB, if there is no space loss and line loss, the power can reach 160dB, and the high-isolation triplexer can provide attenuation of more than 30dB. Therefore, when placing the 4G&5G device A and the 4G&5G device B, the space loss needs to be ensured to be about 130dB.
[0088] The 4G and 5G signal amplifier main body is a main functional device for processing, amplifying and propagating the received signal. It contains a sampling control unit (MCU), a gain control module (first and second gain control modules), a logarithmic detection module (first and second logarithmic detection modules), a circulator (first and second circulators), a low-noise amplifier (first and second low-noise amplifiers), a 5G synchronization module, etc.
[0089] As shown in Figure 12 The signal is input from the first combiner 31, passes through the first circulator HX1, and the signal flow unidirectionally flows into the first low-noise amplifier LNA1 to improve the output signal-to-noise ratio. The signal correction module XZ connected with the first low-noise amplifier LNA1 and the 5G synchronization module TB are used for signal waveform correction and 5G base station time slot synchronization. The signal continues to enter the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 to amplify the signal strength, and the power control and uplink input over-power protection detection are performed by the sampling control unit MCU. Finally, the signal is output to the second antenna through the second combiner 34 to complete the data downlink. The signal transmitted by the user terminal UE reaches the second combiner 34 through the indoor antenna, passes through the second circulator HX2, and the signal flow unidirectionally flows into the second low-noise amplifier LNA2. The signal continues to enter the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 to amplify the signal strength, and the power control and uplink input over-power protection detection are performed by the sampling control unit MCU. Finally, the signal is output to the outdoor receiving antenna through the first combiner 31, and the outdoor receiving antenna transmits the signal to the 5G base station to complete the data uplink.
[0090] 5G synchronization module TB can be in any one device out of step, sampling control unit MCU can forcibly shut down the first communication link (i.e. 5G communication link) PA, destroy the internal closed loop self-excitation condition of dual-mode signal amplifier, protect the dual-mode signal amplifier from damage. In addition, the 5G synchronization module can be moved to the first low noise amplifier LNA1, when the time slot synchronization fails, the soft reset instruction can be sent by the sampling control unit MCU to forcibly start soft, to prevent the problem of 5G network out of step after synchronization.
[0091] The P1 level amplifier tube model in the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 and the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 is selected to be a large tube that can withstand input power. The sampling control unit MCU startup change is to gradually release the attenuation, which ensures that the P1 level tube is not impacted, and at the same time improves the sampling control unit MCU software sampling rate. The P3 level 20W tube is replaced with a 70W tube to increase the rollback depth to prevent saturation distortion.
[0092] When the signal amplifier reaches an ultra-high load, the present example selects to use the 5G synchronization module to obtain the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) as the device input calibration parameter, the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) as the automatic power control power (ALC) output calibration parameter, and sets the bias to preform sufficient channel power redundancy to ensure that the user download rate is not affected when the load is high.
[0093] For example, as shown in Figure 14 The gain control module is controlled by the sampling control unit MCU to amplify the pilot channel power RSRP and the service channel power input signal, so that the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 carries the power RSSI equal to the sum of the RSRP pilot channel power and the service channel power.
[0094] Taking the 5G base station of the existing network 32TR as an example, the total transmit power is 320W, about 55dBm, the bandwidth is 100M, the radio bearer RB is 273, and the subcarrier spacing is 30KHZ. Therefore, the RSRP pilot power can be calculated as:
[0095] RSRP pilot power = 55 - 10LOG(273*12) = 55 - 35.15 = 19.85dBm
[0096] The RSRP pilot power is a constant value, while the service signal dynamically changes according to the number of users. If the 5G base station load of 95% is taken as the limit, it can be inferred that the service channel power redundancy of 33.34 dB (about equal to 33 dBm) needs to be reserved. Therefore, the device channel power RSSI = pilot channel power RSRP (constant 19.85 dBm) + service channel power (fluctuates within the 33 dBm range according to the amount of service).
[0097] The first logarithmic detection module DS1 and the second logarithmic detection module DS2 are mainly used for measuring radio frequency power, so that the output power of the first radio frequency power amplifier PA1 and the second radio frequency power amplifier PA2 corresponds to a voltage calibration value, which is used as an input parameter for the sampling control unit MCU.
[0098] The gain control module (the first gain control module and the second gain control module) is a variable attenuator, which is generally digitally controlled, supports serial mode, is relatively easy to interface with the sampling control unit MCU, and can be controlled by only three pins of a general-purpose input / output (GPIO) interface of the sampling control unit MCU, such as a 1 DATA pin, a 1 CLK pin and a 1 LE chip selection pin. In addition, the DATA pin and the CLK pin can also be multiplexed as a bus, which is relatively economical in terms of pin resources of the sampling control unit MCU.
[0099] After the logarithmic detection module detects the radio frequency power, it is converted into a voltage input parameter, and the voltage input parameter is given to the sampling control unit MCU, so that the sampling control unit MCU calculates through the embedded algorithm of C language, and controls the digital attenuator through the three pins of DATA, CLK clock and LE chip selection. In order to ensure that the control can be quickly controlled to achieve the purpose of power control, the entire running calculation time of the sampling control unit MCU needs to be controlled within 0.3 milliseconds, otherwise the power control cannot keep up with the speed of signal change, and the purpose of control is lost. As for the selection of ALC or AGC mode, it depends on different systems. The communication system will be more inclined to AGC mode and the cost will be lower, and the broadcast system will be more inclined to ALC mode.
[0100] It can be understood that the above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments adopted for illustrating the principles of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the present application, and these modifications and improvements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
