Therefore, in order to improve the uplink OTA capability of the terminal, the PA module needs to be optimally load matched. SUMMARY

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a load matching method and an electronic device, which can at least solve the problem of how to load match the PA module to improve the uplink OTA performance of the terminal.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] With the continuous evolution of mobile communication technology, problems such as insufficient uplink capability and coverage of terminals have been exposed one after another. As the proportion of uplink services in the 5G era is increasing year by year, improving the uplink OTA performance of terminals has become a key direction for the evolution of communication technology.

[0013] The uplink OTA performance of a terminal is typically limited by the capabilities of the PA module, which in turn is constrained by the balance between energy efficiency and linearity under different PAPR modulation schemes in mobile communication technology. To achieve this balance, voltage tuning, bias tuning, and load tuning are commonly employed. Voltage tuning and bias tuning heavily rely on platform algorithm competitiveness, resulting in lower terminal availability. Load tuning, on the other hand, depends on terminal architecture configuration and scheduling algorithms, exhibiting relatively lower platform dependence and higher terminal availability. Therefore, load tuning can be used to achieve a balance between energy efficiency and linearity in the PA module.

[0014] The most important purpose of a power amplifier (PA) module is to effectively amplify and output power. To maximize RF power output, the concept of optimal load matching arises. Therefore, to effectively improve the uplink PTA performance of the terminal, optimal load matching of the PA module is necessary.

[0015] This application provides a load matching method and an electronic device. The method is applied to a terminal and includes: determining whether there is uplink transmission activity; and, if there is uplink transmission activity, determining the load matching mode of a power amplifier (PA) module based on the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal. The PA module is used to amplify the power of the uplink transmission signal. Thus, since the terminal can determine the load matching mode for the PA module based on the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal when there is uplink transmission activity, the load matching mode for the PA module can be adjusted in real time according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal. This allows the PA module to have an optimal load matching mode, thereby achieving a balance between high energy efficiency and linearity of the PA module, and effectively improving the uplink OTA performance of the terminal.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0018] The load matching method and electronic device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a load matching method applied to a terminal; in other words, the load matching method can be executed by the terminal or software or hardware installed on the terminal. The load matching method includes the following steps.

[0020] S102: Determine if there is uplink transmission behavior.

[0021] When a terminal is connected to the network, it can determine whether there is uplink transmission activity.

[0022] In some implementations, when determining whether there is an uplink transmission activity, the terminal can check whether its internal radio frequency module needs to send an uplink transmission signal. If an uplink transmission signal needs to be sent, then uplink transmission activity is determined to have occurred; otherwise, it is determined that no uplink transmission activity has occurred. Of course, in other implementations, the terminal can also determine whether there is an uplink transmission activity through other methods, which are not specifically limited here.

[0023] S104: When there is uplink transmission, determine the load matching mode of the power amplifier (PA) module according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal. The PA module is used to amplify the power of the uplink transmission signal.

[0024] There are various waveform modulation methods for the uplink transmit signal, including but not limited to MPR0-MPR2.5, MPR3-MPR5, and MPR5.5-MPR6.5 waveforms, where MPR stands for Maximum Power Reduction. There are also various load matching methods for the PA module, including but not limited to optimal efficiency point load matching, optimal linearity point load matching, and optimal gain point load matching. Optimal efficiency point load matching maintains low power consumption at maximum output power. Optimal linearity point load matching increases RF output power while maintaining the same Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR). Optimal gain point load matching increases RF output power while maintaining the same Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). In this embodiment, different load matching methods can be selected based on the different waveform modulation methods of the uplink transmit signal.

[0025] In some implementations, the load matching method of the PA module is determined based on the waveform modulation method of the uplink transmitted signal, and may include any of the following: When the waveform modulation methods include MPR0-MPR2.5 waveforms, the load matching method is determined to be the optimal efficiency load matching method; When the waveform modulation methods include MPR3-MPR5 waveforms, the load matching method is determined to be the optimal linear point load matching method; When the waveform modulation methods include MPR5.5-MPR6.5 waveforms, the load matching method is determined to be the optimal gain point load matching method.

[0026] Since the bottleneck of the MPR0-MPR2.5 waveform is the power consumption at maximum output power, its ACLR and EVM have a large performance redundancy. Therefore, it can be adapted to the optimal efficiency point load matching method, so that the power consumption can be reduced to a low level while maintaining the maximum RF output power.

[0027] Since the bottleneck of the MPR3-MPR5 waveform is mainly in ACLR, the optimal linear point load matching method can be adapted. This allows for higher RF power while maintaining the same ACLR performance. In other words, the RF output power can be maximized by improving the ACLR nonlinearity.

[0028] Since the bottleneck of the MPR5.5-MPR6.5 waveform is mainly in the EVM, the optimal gain point load matching method can be adapted to achieve higher RF power while maintaining the same EVM performance. In other words, by increasing the PA gain, the RF output power can be pushed as high as possible.

[0029] In this way, since the load matching mode of the PA module can be determined according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmitted signal, the PA module can have the optimal load matching mode, thereby achieving a balance between high energy efficiency and linearity of the PA module, and thus effectively improving the uplink OTA performance of the terminal.

[0030] In some implementations, the terminal may not perform uplink transmission. When the terminal does not perform uplink transmission, it may include: Set the load matching method of the PA module to the default load matching method.

[0031] The default load matching method can be the optimal efficiency point load matching method, the optimal linear point load matching method, or the optimal gain point load matching method mentioned above, or it can be other load matching methods, without specific limitations here.

[0032] After determining the load matching method of the PA module according to the above method, some embodiments may further include: Based on the load matching method of the PA module, control the antenna tuner to perform load adjustment.

[0033] The antenna tuner (which can be represented as an antenna tuner) is connected to the antenna. After determining the load matching method of the PA module, the antenna tuner can be controlled to perform load tuning according to the load matching method. That is, the load matching tuning is completed through the antenna tuner. At this time, the radio frequency can output power through the corresponding load tuning to complete the transmission of the uplink signal.

[0034] In this embodiment, since the terminal can determine the load matching mode of the PA module according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal when it has uplink transmission behavior, the load matching mode of the PA module can be adjusted in real time according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal, so that the PA module can have the best load matching mode, thereby achieving a balance between high energy efficiency and linearity of the PA module, and thus effectively improving the uplink OTA performance of the terminal.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the load matching method provided in the embodiments of this application, some more specific embodiments will be used as examples for illustration below. Please refer to [link to specific examples]. Figures 2 to 4 .

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a radio frequency antenna architecture according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The antenna architecture shown includes a modem, transceiver, PA module, low noise amplifier (LNA), filter (BWP), switches (single-pole double-throw switch, single-pole quad-throw switch, four-input four-output RF switch), antennas (ANT0-ANT3), and tuners (one tuner for each ANT). Figure 2 In the process, the RF output is connected to the antenna via an RF switch. The antenna load response directly affects the PA module, so a load tuner is added to each antenna ANT.

[0037] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of load matching according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 In this context, Zs represents the source impedance. After the equipment leaves the factory, Zs is essentially fixed or has minimal fluctuations. L The load impedance is adjustable. The technical solution of this application embodiment addresses Z... LBy controlling the PA module, different performance levels can be achieved under different modulation methods, thereby balancing the PA module's high energy efficiency and linearity and effectively improving the terminal's uplink OTA performance. Specifically, the antenna completes load matching and debugging through a tuner, and the RF output power is debugged according to the corresponding load. In actual user scenarios, the uplink OTA identifies and calls different tuner load matching and RF output power based on the network scheduling status.

[0038] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of a load matching method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, different load matching can be used with the antenna Tunner under different modulation schemes during the uplink transmit cycle. Figure 4 The load matching method shown includes the following steps.

[0039] Step 1: Power on your phone and register with the network. After completing the network registration, stay logged in.

[0040] Step 2: Determine if there is any uplink transmission activity.

[0041] If yes, proceed to step 3; otherwise, proceed to step 9.

[0042] Step 3: Determine if the transmitted waveform is MPR0-MPR2.5.

[0043] That is, determine whether the transmission modulation mode is an MPR0-MPR2.5 waveform. If yes, proceed to step 4; otherwise, return to step 2.

[0044] Step 4: The antenna tuner uses the PA's optimal efficiency point for load matching.

[0045] This load matching method can reduce power consumption while maintaining maximum output power.

[0046] Step 5: Determine if the transmitted waveform is MPR3-MPR5.

[0047] That is, determine whether the transmission modulation mode is an MPR3-MPR5 waveform. If yes, proceed to step 6; otherwise, return to step 3.

[0048] Step 6: Antenna Tunner uses PA's best linear point load matching.

[0049] This load matching method can improve RF output power while maintaining the same ACLR performance.

[0050] Step 7: Determine if the transmitted waveform is MPR5.5-MPR6.5.

[0051] That is, determine whether the transmission modulation mode is an MPR5.5-MPR6.5 waveform. If yes, proceed to step 8; otherwise, return to step 5.

[0052] Step 8: Antenna Tunner uses PA's optimal gain point load matching.

[0053] This load matching method can improve RF output power while maintaining the same EVM performance.

[0054] Step 9: Tunner uses the default load matching.

[0055] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated high-efficiency uplink OTA solution for mobile phones, under low-order modulation (MPR0-MPR2.5), power consumption can be reduced to a low level while maintaining maximum RF output power. Under MPR3-MPR5 modulation, RF output power can be maximized by improving ACLR nonlinearity. Under high-order modulation (MPR5.5-MPR6.5), RF output power can be maximized by increasing PA gain. The antenna tuner is a mature component in RF antenna architecture, with relatively controllable cost and area, offering advantages in feasibility, low cost, and miniaturization compared to adjustable load impedance chip solutions.

[0056] The load matching method provided in this application can be executed by a load matching device. This application uses the example of a load matching device executing the load matching method to illustrate the load matching device provided in this application.

Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the load matching device 50 of this application includes a first determining module 51 and a second determining module 52, wherein: The first determining module 51 is used to determine whether there is uplink transmission behavior; The second determining module 52 is used to determine the load matching mode of the power amplifier PA module according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal when there is uplink transmission behavior. The PA module is used to amplify the power of the uplink transmission signal.

[0058] In some implementations, the second determining module 52 is used for any of the following: When the waveform modulation method includes the maximum power backoff MPR0-MPR2.5 waveform, the load matching method is determined to be the optimal efficiency point load matching method; When the waveform modulation method includes MPR3-MPR5 waveforms, the load matching method is determined to be the optimal linear point load matching method; When the waveform modulation method includes MPR5.5-MPR6.5 waveforms, the load matching method is determined to be the optimal gain point load matching method.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second determining module 52 is further configured to: In the absence of uplink transmission, the load matching mode of the PA module is determined to be the default load matching mode.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second determining module 52 is further configured to: After determining the load matching mode of the PA module, the antenna tuner is controlled to perform load adjustment according to the load matching mode of the PA module.

[0061] In this embodiment, since the terminal can determine the load matching mode of the PA module according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal when it has uplink transmission behavior, the load matching mode of the PA module can be adjusted in real time according to the waveform modulation mode of the uplink transmission signal, so that the PA module can have the best load matching mode, thereby achieving a balance between high energy efficiency and linearity of the PA module, and thus effectively improving the uplink OTA performance of the terminal.
