All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0049] It should be understood that the term " / and / " used herein is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, a and / or b can represent: a exists alone, a and b exist simultaneously, and b exists alone. In addition, the character " / " herein generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.
[0050] Before introducing the embodiments of the present application specifically, the terms applied or possibly applied in the embodiments of the present application will be explained first.
[0051] In a radio frequency device, a remote radio unit (RRU) plays an important role and is a key factor in improving market competitiveness. In the remote radio unit, a power amplifier is an important component, and the power amplifier is an important factor affecting the competitiveness of the remote radio unit. Moreover, in the remote radio unit, the power consumption ratio of the power amplifier is as high as more than 50%. The working bandwidth of the remote radio unit is usually determined by the working bandwidth of the power amplifier. Therefore, improving the efficiency bandwidth of the power amplifier has become the primary task of improving the market competitiveness of radio frequency devices.
[0052] In the process of improving the efficiency of a power amplifier, high-power signals will enter the saturation region of the power amplifier, resulting in non-linear compression of the input radio frequency signal and ultimately deteriorating the signal's ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) and EVM (Error Vector Magnitude), which affects the communication quality. Therefore, in order to improve the signal transmission quality and reduce the impact on adjacent channels, DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion) is needed to correct the power amplifier non-linearity.
[0053] The transmitting circuit in a radio frequency device can be divided into a concurrent broadband multi-band transmitting circuit and an internal broadband multi-band transmitting circuit according to the type of radio frequency channel.
[0054] Among them, the radio frequency channels in the concurrent broadband multi-band transmitting circuit are shared channels, and its power amplifier is a mixed-frequency power amplifier. That is, in the concurrent broadband multi-band transmitting circuit, the radio frequency channel is used to amplify multi-band signals, and the power amplifier is used for the final stage amplification of multi-band mixed signals. The concurrent broadband multi-band transmitting circuit can be divided into a concurrent broadband multi-band single-input transmitting circuit and a concurrent broadband multi-band multi-input transmitting circuit according to the number of signals received by the power amplifier. The concurrent broadband multi-band single-input transmitting circuit means that the power amplifier receives one multi-band mixed signal and performs the final stage amplification. The concurrent broadband multi-band multi-input transmitting circuit means that the power amplifier receives multiple multi-band mixed signals and performs the final stage amplification.
[0055] Each frequency band in the internal broadband multi-band transmitting circuit has its own independent radio frequency channel, and its power amplifier is a single-frequency power amplifier. That is, in the internal broadband multi-band transmitting circuit, the radio frequency channel is used to amplify single-band signals, and the power amplifier is used for the final stage amplification of single-band signals. The internal broadband multi-band transmitting circuit can be divided into an internal broadband multi-band single-input transmitting circuit and an internal broadband multi-band multi-input transmitting circuit according to the number of signals received by the power amplifier. The internal broadband multi-band single-input transmitting circuit means that the power amplifier receives one single-band signal and performs the final stage amplification. The internal broadband multi-band multi-input transmitting circuit means that the power amplifier receives multiple single-band signals and performs the final stage amplification.
[0056] Since the power amplifier of the concurrent broadband multi-band transmission circuit (including the concurrent broadband multi-band single-input transmission circuit and the concurrent broadband multi-band multi-input transmission circuit) performs the final amplification processing of the multi-band mixed signal, the efficiency of its power amplifier is low and the power consumption is large; and the efficiency of its power amplifier will show a decreasing trend as the number of radio frequency signal frequency bands increases. The efficiency of the power amplifier of the internally patched broadband multi-band single-input transmission circuit is 5% higher than that of the power amplifier of the concurrent broadband multi-band transmission circuit. However, as the number of frequency bands of the radio frequency signal to be transmitted increases, the number of its radio frequency channels increases linearly with the number of frequency bands. Therefore, the cost, area, and power consumption of the radio frequency channels also increase linearly relative to the concurrent broadband multi-band transmission system.
[0057] For the internally patched multi-input broadband multi-band transmission circuit compared with the internally patched single-input broadband multi-band transmission circuit, the number of radio frequency channels increases linearly with the number of digital decomposition paths. Therefore, the cost, area, and power consumption of the radio frequency channels also increase linearly.
[0058] In summary, in the existing radio frequency devices, the transmission circuit has the problems that as the number of frequency bands increases, its costs (including: radio frequency channel cost, digital-to-analog conversion cost), the area occupied by the circuit, power consumption, etc. will increase linearly, and the efficiency is relatively low.
[0059] In view of the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a radio frequency device and equipment to solve the problems in the prior art that as the number of frequency bands of the radio frequency signal to be transmitted increases, the costs, area, power consumption, etc. of the radio frequency device will increase linearly, and the efficiency is relatively low.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 , the embodiments of the present application provide a radio frequency device 100, including: a frequency division unit 110, a first power amplifier 101, and a second power amplifier 102. Among them, the frequency division unit 110 includes a first output terminal and a second output terminal. The frequency division unit 110 is configured to receive an initial multi-band analog signal, perform frequency division on the initial multi-band analog signal, and output a first single-frequency signal through the first output terminal and output a second single-frequency signal through the second output terminal. The frequency of the first single-frequency signal is different from the frequency of the second single-frequency signal. The input end of the first power amplifier 101 is electrically connected to the first output terminal of the frequency division unit 110, and the first power amplifier 101 is configured to perform amplification processing on one path of the first single-frequency signal. The input end of the second power amplifier 102 is electrically connected to the second output terminal of the frequency division unit 110, and the second power amplifier 102 is configured to perform amplification processing on one path of the second single-frequency signal.
[0061] In this embodiment, the function of the frequency division unit 110 is to perform frequency division processing on the initial multi-band analog signal, divide the initial multi-band analog signal into multiple single-frequency analog signals, and output at least two single-frequency signals. The first power amplifier 101 and the second power amplifier 102 are respectively used to perform final amplification on the single-frequency signals. Among them, the first power amplifier 101 is used to amplify a first single-frequency signal, and the second power amplifier 102 is used to amplify a second single-frequency signal. In some possible implementation manners, the first output end of the frequency division unit 110 outputs a first single-frequency signal. The second output end of the frequency division unit 110 outputs a second single-frequency signal. It should be noted that the fact that the first output end and the second output end of the above-mentioned frequency division unit 110 output a single-frequency signal is only an exemplary illustration and is not a specific limitation of the present application in this regard.
[0062] In this embodiment, since the processing object of the frequency division unit 110 is a multi-band analog signal, multiple bands of radio frequency signals can be processed by the same frequency division unit 110. Therefore, as the number of bands of the radio frequency signal increases, the cost of the frequency division unit 110 can remain unchanged, thus solving the problem in the prior art that as the number of bands of the radio frequency signal increases, its cost and area increase linearly. The first power amplifier 101 and the second power amplifier 102 both perform final amplification processing on the single-frequency signals, so that the first power amplifier 101 and the second power amplifier 102 operate at a higher efficiency, and finally the efficiency of the transmitting circuit is higher and the quality of the signal transmitted by the transmitting circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application is better.

The signal A at the input end represents the signal of the frequency to which the first single-frequency signal belongs, and the signal B at the input end represents the signal of the frequency to which the second single-frequency signal belongs.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 2, in an embodiment of the present application, the frequency division unit 110 includes: a first radio frequency channel 111 and a different-frequency splitter 112. Among them, the input end of the different-frequency splitter 112 is electrically connected to the output end of the first radio frequency channel 111.

That is, the input end of the first power amplifier 101 is electrically connected to the first output end of the different-frequency splitter 112. The second output end of the different-frequency splitter 112 is the second output end of the frequency division unit 110. That is, the input end of the second power amplifier 102 is electrically connected to the second output end of the different-frequency splitter 112. The frequency division unit 110 divides the initial multi-band analog signal and outputs a first single-frequency signal through the first output end and a second single-frequency signal through the second output end, including: the first radio frequency channel 111 is used to receive the initial multi-band analog signal, perform amplification processing on the initial multi-band analog signal, and output a first multi-band analog signal. The different-frequency splitter 112 is used to perform frequency division processing on the first multi-band analog signal. The different-frequency splitter 112 outputs a first single-frequency signal through the first output end of the different-frequency splitter 112. The different-frequency splitter 112 outputs a second single-frequency signal through the second output end of the different-frequency splitter 112.
[0065] In this embodiment, the first radio frequency channel 111 is a multi-band signal sharing channel, which is used to perform step-by-step amplification processing on the initial multi-band analog signal. Therefore, when increasing the number of frequency bands of the radio frequency signal, the first radio frequency channel 111 can still be used to perform step-by-step amplification processing on it. The function of the different-frequency splitter 112 is to separate the received first multi-band analog signal into multiple radio frequency signals of single frequencies, and transmit the radio frequency signals of single frequencies to the corresponding power amplifier for final stage amplification. The different-frequency splitter 112 is arranged after the first radio frequency channel 111 and directly transmits the frequency-divided single-frequency signal to the power amplifier. That is, as the number of frequency bands of the radio frequency signal increases, the number, area, etc. of the first radio frequency channel 111 will not increase.
[0066] In a possible implementation manner, the first radio frequency channel 111 includes: a VGA (Variable Gain Amplifier), a pre-stage drive amplifier, and a pre-driver amplifier. The first radio frequency channel 111 is used to realize the gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification of the multi-band analog signal in the analog link.
[0067] In a possible implementation manner, the different-frequency splitter 112 may include a microstrip line, a SAW filter, or a dielectric filter, etc. The function of the different-frequency splitter 112 is to perform frequency-domain filtering on the broadband multi-band, so as to realize the separation of signals of different frequency bands. The purpose of the different-frequency splitter 112 is to realize the filtering function of the signal, so there are certain requirements for the suppression ratio, usually more than 20 dB.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the frequency division unit 110 includes: a different-frequency splitter 112, a second radio frequency channel 113, and a third radio frequency channel 114.

The output end of the third radio frequency channel 114 is the second output end of the frequency division unit 110. That is, the input end of the second power amplifier 102 is electrically connected to the output end of the third radio frequency channel 114. After the frequency division unit 110 divides the initial multi-band analog signal, it outputs the first single-frequency signal through the first output end and outputs the second single-frequency signal through the second output end, including: the different-frequency splitter 112 is used to receive the initial multi-band analog signal, the different-frequency splitter 112 is used to perform frequency division processing on the first multi-band analog signal, output the first initial single-frequency signal through the first output end of the different-frequency splitter 112, and output the second initial single-frequency signal through the second output end of the different-frequency splitter 112. The second radio frequency channel 113 is used to amplify the first initial single-frequency signal and output the first single-frequency signal through the output end of the second radio frequency channel 113. The third radio frequency channel 114 is used to amplify the second initial single-frequency signal and output the second single-frequency signal through the output end of the third radio frequency channel 114.
[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the function of the different-frequency splitter 112 is to separate the received initial multi-band analog signal into multiple initial single-frequency signals. The second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114 are dedicated radio frequency channels for single-frequency signals. For example, the second radio frequency channel 113 is used to amplify the first initial single-frequency signal with a first frequency for the final-stage power amplification by the first power amplifier 101. The third radio frequency channel 114 is used to amplify the second initial single-frequency signal with a second frequency for the final-stage power amplification by the second power amplifier 102. In a possible implementation manner, both the second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114 include: a VGA (Variable Gain Amplifier), a pre-driver amplifier, and a pre-drive amplifier. The second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114 are used to realize the gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification of the single-band analog signal in the analog link.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, after the heterodyne splitter 112, the corresponding single-band analog signal is subjected to gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification processing through the second radio frequency channel 113 or the third radio frequency channel 114, which can improve the efficiency of the first power amplifier 101 and the second power amplifier 102 and increase the signal quality.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 4 , in an embodiment of the present application, the frequency division unit 110 includes a first radio frequency channel 111, a second radio frequency channel 113, a third radio frequency channel 114, and a heterodyne splitter 112. Among them, the output end of the first radio frequency channel 111 is electrically connected to the input end of the heterodyne splitter 112, and the heterodyne splitter 112 includes a first output end and a second output end. The first output end of the heterodyne splitter 112 is electrically connected to the input end of the second radio frequency channel 113, and the second output end of the heterodyne splitter 112 is electrically connected to the input end of the third radio frequency channel 114. The output end of the second radio frequency channel 113 is the first output end of the frequency division unit 110. That is, the input end of the first power amplifier 101 is electrically connected to the output end of the second radio frequency channel 113. The output end of the third radio frequency channel 114 is the second output end of the frequency division unit 110. That is, the input end of the second power amplifier 102 is electrically connected to the output end of the third radio frequency channel 114. The frequency division unit 110 divides the initial multi-band analog signal and outputs the first single-frequency signal through the first output end and the second single-frequency signal through the second output end, including: the first radio frequency channel 111 is used to receive the initial multi-band analog signal, amplify the initial multi-band analog signal, and output the first multi-band analog signal. The heterodyne splitter 112 is used to amplify the first multi-band analog signal, output the first initial single-frequency signal through the first output end of the heterodyne splitter 112, and output the second initial single-frequency signal through the second output end of the heterodyne splitter 112. The second radio frequency channel 113 is used to amplify the first initial single-frequency signal and output the first single-frequency signal through the output end of the second radio frequency channel 113. The third radio frequency channel 114 is used to amplify the second initial single-frequency signal and output the second single-frequency signal through the output end of the third radio frequency channel 114.
[0072] In an embodiment, the first radio frequency channel 111 is a multi-band signal sharing channel, which is used to perform step-by-step amplification processing on the initial multi-band analog signal. Therefore, when increasing the number of frequency bands of the radio frequency signal, the first radio frequency channel 111 can still be used to perform step-by-step amplification processing on it. The function of the different-frequency splitter 112 is to separate the received first multi-band analog signal into multiple initial single-frequency signals, and the multiple initial single-frequency signals include the first initial single-frequency signal and the second initial single-frequency signal. The second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114 are dedicated radio frequency channels for single-frequency signals. For example, the second radio frequency channel 113 is used to amplify the first initial single-frequency signal with the first frequency for the final power amplification by the first power amplifier 101. The third radio frequency channel 114 is used to amplify the second initial single-frequency signal with the second frequency for the final power amplification by the second power amplifier 102. In a possible implementation manner, the first radio frequency channel 111, the second radio frequency channel 113, and the second radio frequency channel 113 all include: a VGA (Variable Gain Amplifier), a pre-driver amplifier, and a pre-driver amplifier. The first radio frequency channel 111 is used to realize the gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification of the multi-band analog signal in the analog link. The second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114 are used to realize the gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification of the single-band analog signal in the analog link. It should be noted that the above examples of the hardware components of the first radio frequency channel 111, the second radio frequency channel 113, and the second radio frequency channel 113 only illustrate the commonality of their circuit topologies, rather than the commonality of the parameters of these three radio frequency channels. It should be understood that the device parameters corresponding to the first radio frequency channel 111, the second radio frequency channel 113, and the third radio frequency channel 114 need to be set according to actual requirements, and the device parameters corresponding to the first radio frequency channel 111, the device parameters corresponding to the second radio frequency channel 113, and the device parameters corresponding to the third radio frequency channel 114 are set independently of each other.
[0073] In this embodiment, the initial multi-band analog signal is subjected to gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification through the first radio frequency channel 111, and then is divided into multiple single-frequency signals by the different-frequency splitter 112. Each single-frequency signal is further subjected to gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification through its respective dedicated radio frequency channel and then is subjected to final amplification by its respective dedicated power amplifier, which can improve the efficiency of the power amplifier.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the initial multi-band analog signal is obtained by non-linearly correcting and performing digital-to-analog conversion on the initial multi-band digital signal.
[0075] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to obtain an initial multi-band analog signal, the radio frequency device 100 further includes: a first digital pre-distortion unit 103, a second digital pre-distortion unit 104, and a digital-to-analog converter 105. The digital-to-analog converter 105 includes a first input terminal and a second input terminal. The output terminal of the first digital pre-distortion unit 103 is electrically connected to the first input terminal of the digital-to-analog converter 105; the output terminal of the second digital pre-distortion unit 104 is electrically connected to the second input terminal of the digital-to-analog converter 105. The first pre-digital distortion unit 103 and the second digital pre-distortion unit 104 respectively receive the initial multi-band digital signal, perform multi-band non-linear correction, and then input the corrected signal to the first digital-to-analog converter 105. The first digital-to-analog converter 105 performs digital-to-analog conversion on the received digital signal, obtains the initial multi-band analog signal and outputs it.
[0076] In this embodiment, since the digital-to-analog converter 105 is used to process the multi-band analog signal, when the number of frequency bands of the radio frequency signal is increased, there is no need to increase the number of digital-to-analog converters 105.
[0077] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in an embodiment of the present application, the frequency division unit 110 further includes a third output terminal. After the frequency division unit 110 divides the initial multi-band analog signal, it also outputs a third single-frequency signal through the third output terminal of the frequency division unit 110. The frequencies of the third single-frequency signal, the first single-frequency signal, and the second single-frequency signal are different from each other. The radio frequency device 100 further includes: a third power amplifier 109. The frequency division unit 110 includes: a third output terminal. The input terminal of the third power amplifier 109 is electrically connected to the third output terminal of the frequency division unit 110. The third power amplifier 109 is used to amplify a path of the third single-frequency signal.
[0078] In this embodiment, the frequency division unit 110 outputs a first single-frequency signal, a second single-frequency signal, and a third single-frequency signal. Among them, any two of the frequencies of the first single-frequency signal, the second single-frequency signal, and the third single-frequency signal are different. The third power amplifier 109 is used to amplify a path of the third single-frequency signal, so as to ensure that the efficiency of the third power amplifier 109 is relatively high and the signal quality of the third single-frequency signal is good.
[0079] The specific implementation manner of this embodiment may refer to the implementation manner of the foregoing embodiment. In a possible implementation manner, the frequency of the third single-frequency signal is the third frequency. A radio frequency channel for gain adjustment and step-by-step amplification of the analog signal of the third frequency is provided between the different-path frequency divider and the third power amplifier 109, and the radio frequency channel outputs the third single-frequency signal. This radio frequency channel is a radio frequency channel exclusively used for the analog signal of the third frequency.
[0080] Please refer toFigure 5 and Figure 6 In an embodiment of the present application, the radio frequency device 100 further includes: a third digital pre-distortion unit 108. The output end of the third digital pre-distortion unit 108 is electrically connected to the third input end of the digital-to-analog converter 105, and the third output end of the different-frequency splitter 112 is electrically connected to the input end of the third power amplifier 109.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 5 , in an embodiment of the present application, the frequency division unit 110 includes a fourth radio frequency channel 115. The radio frequency device 100 further includes: a third digital pre-distortion unit 108. The digital-to-analog converter 105 includes a third input end. The output end of the third digital pre-distortion unit 108 is electrically connected to the third input end of the digital-to-analog converter 105. The different-frequency splitter 112 includes a third output end. The third output end of the different-frequency splitter 112 is electrically connected to the input end of the fourth radio frequency channel 115. The output end of the fourth radio frequency channel 115 is electrically connected to the input end of the third power amplifier 109.
[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, when the radio frequency device 100 includes the second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114, the first digital pre-distortion unit 103 is further configured to perform non-linear correction on the signal of the frequency to which the first single-frequency signal belongs, and the second digital pre-distortion unit 104 is further configured to perform non-linear correction on the signal of the frequency to which the second single-frequency signal belongs. The signal generated by the first shared radio frequency channel contains non-linear components of multi-band signals, while the signals generated by the second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114 contain non-linear components of single-band signals. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of the final signal and the efficiency of the corresponding power amplifier, the corresponding digital pre-distortion unit needs to have the non-linear correction function for single-frequency signals and multi-frequency signals. Similarly, in some implementation manners, the radio frequency device further includes a fourth radio frequency channel 115. At this time, the third digital pre-distortion unit is further configured to perform non-linear correction on the signal of the frequency to which the third single-frequency signal belongs.
[0083] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 , in an embodiment of the present application, the radio frequency device 100 further includes: a combiner 106 and an antenna 107. The combiner 106 includes a first input end and a second input end. The first input end of the combiner 106 is electrically connected to the output end of the first power amplifier 101, the second input end of the combiner 106 is electrically connected to the output end of the second power amplifier 102, and the output end of the combiner 106 is electrically connected to the antenna 107. The combiner 106 is configured to combine the signal obtained by the final stage amplification of the first single-frequency signal and the signal obtained by the final stage amplification of the second single-frequency signal into one signal, and then transmit it out uniformly via the antenna 107. In some implementation manners, the combiner 106 further includes a third input end, and the third input end of the combiner 106 is electrically connected to the output end of the third power amplifier 109.
[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the frequency division unit 110 may also output single-frequency signals of other frequency bands, that is, the frequency division unit 110 may output at least three single-frequency signals. In some possible implementation manners, if a radio frequency channel is provided between the different-frequency splitter 112 and the power amplifier corresponding to a certain single-frequency signal, then the radio frequency channel is a radio frequency channel exclusively used by the single-frequency signal, and the power amplifier corresponding to the single-frequency signal is an exclusively used power amplifier. In a possible implementation manner, among the at least three single-frequency signals output by the frequency division unit 110, the frequencies of any two single-frequency signals are different. Therefore, the radio frequency device 100 includes at least three power amplifiers, and the at least three power amplifiers are used to amplify the at least three single-frequency signals in a one-to-one correspondence. The at least three power amplifiers may be sequentially named: the first power amplifier 101, the second power amplifier 102,..., the Nth power amplifier. N represents the number of power amplifiers. N is an integer greater than or equal to 3. The number of power amplifiers in the radio frequency device 100 is the same as the number of single-frequency signals output by the frequency division unit 110. For example, if the multi-band analog signal includes signals of N frequency bands, then the radio frequency device 100 may be configured with N digital pre-distortion units, one digital-to-analog converter 105, one frequency division unit 110, and N power amplifiers, and each power amplifier performs final amplification processing on a signal of a single frequency. Among them, the frequency division unit 110 may select whether to configure a corresponding single-frequency radio frequency channel according to actual requirements. The single-frequency radio frequency channel refers to a radio frequency channel exclusively used by a single-frequency signal. For example, the second radio frequency channel 113 and the third radio frequency channel 114 are both single-frequency radio frequency channels. The specific implementation manner of the radio frequency device 100 for N frequency band signals may be analogized based on the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

For example, in a dual-band three-input transmission system, two digital predistortion units, two signal separation units, three digital-to-analog converters, three frequency division units, and two power amplifiers need to be configured. In a triple-band two-input transmission system, three digital predistortion units, three signal separation units, two digital-to-analog converters, two frequency division units, and three power amplifiers need to be configured. Therefore, as the number of frequency bands of the radio frequency signals increases, in the same input transmission system, compared with the existing transmission system, the transmission circuit provided by the present application requires fewer digital-to-analog conversion units and can also have fewer radio frequency channels. Therefore, the cost is lower.

[0116] In this embodiment, the first multi-input power amplifier 201 and the second multi-input power amplifier 202 are at least three-input power amplifiers.
