Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the fields of radio frequency signal photoelectric conversion and high-frequency millimeter wave signal transmission technology, and in particular to a radio frequency millimeter wave photoelectric conversion component suitable for long-distance transmission. Background Technology
[0002] Millimeter-wave spectrum resources possess unique technological advantages such as ultra-wide bandwidth, ultra-high transmission rate, narrow beam directional transmission, low interference, and high ranging resolution, making them the core transmission carrier for next-generation mobile communications, precision detection, and remote measurement and control systems. Compared to traditional centimeter-wave RF transmission cables, conventional millimeter-wave coaxial cables have significant advantages in physical size, weight, and cabling volume, meeting the short-distance signal transmission requirements of miniaturized and integrated equipment. They are currently widely used in various short-range millimeter-wave RF devices.
[0003] However, in medium- to long-distance transmission scenarios (50m to 100m and beyond), traditional millimeter-wave coaxial cables have inherent technical defects that cannot meet engineering requirements. Millimeter-wave signals have extremely high frequencies and extremely short wavelengths. During cable transmission, conductor ohmic losses, dielectric polarization losses, and high-frequency radiation losses occur simultaneously. Under the combined effect of these three types of losses, the signal attenuation increases exponentially with the transmission distance. In transmission conditions at the hundred-meter level, millimeter-wave high-frequency signals experience significant attenuation after transmission through coaxial cables. The signal amplitude drops sharply, the signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates severely, and the effective signal may even be completely submerged by noise. This causes the backend RF receiving equipment to be unable to identify and interpret valid data, resulting in system failure. This greatly limits the application of millimeter-wave technology in scenarios such as long-distance equipment linkage, cross-regional networking, and remote high-precision measurement and control.
[0004] Currently, industry optimization methods for millimeter-wavelength transmission are relatively limited, with mainstream improvements mainly involving replacing coaxial cables with low-loss dielectric materials, optimizing cable shielding structures, and adjusting cabling methods. These optimizations only slightly reduce transmission loss per unit length and cannot fundamentally address the high-frequency loss characteristics of cable transmission. Signal distortion and attenuation issues persist in long-distance transmissions over hundreds of meters. Fiber optic transmission, with its extremely low transmission loss, absence of electromagnetic interference, ultra-wide bandwidth, long transmission distance, and lightweight, flexible cabling, is the optimal medium for long-distance high-frequency signal transmission. However, there are currently no dedicated optoelectronic conversion integrated components on the market specifically for millimeter-wave high-frequency signals. Traditional optoelectronic conversion devices are mostly adapted to low-frequency radio frequency signals and cannot meet the high-frequency, wideband, and high-precision conversion and transmission requirements of millimeter waves. This prevents the application of fiber optic's low-loss transmission advantages to millimeter-wave radio frequency systems.
[0005] In summary, the current market lacks a dedicated conversion component that is compatible with millimeter-wave high-frequency signals, can perform bidirectional photoelectric conversion, is integrated, and has high compatibility. To address the technical pain points of traditional cables, such as high transmission loss over long distances, low signal fidelity, and poor system adaptability, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of radio frequency millimeter-wave optical conversion component.

Relying on the low-loss characteristics of optical fibers, they achieve long-distance high-fidelity transmission of millimeter-wave signals. The coordinated operation of each functional unit ensures the stability, accuracy, and integrity of high-frequency signal transmission.
[0058] Compared to existing traditional millimeter-wave cable transmission solutions and conventional optoelectronic conversion devices, this application has advantages in multiple dimensions, including structure, performance, and adaptability, as detailed below: 1. Fundamentally solves the problem of transmission loss over millimeter wavelength distances, significantly extending transmission distance: This application breaks through the high-frequency loss transmission mechanism of traditional cables and adopts a dedicated optoelectronic conversion architecture for millimeter waves to convert high-frequency electrical signals into optical signals for transmission. The transmission loss of optical fiber is much lower than that of coaxial cable, and the transmission loss at the hundred-meter level can be controlled within 0.5dB, which is more than 95% lower than that of traditional cables. This completely solves the problem of signal attenuation failure in long-distance transmission of traditional solutions, extending the effective transmission distance of millimeter waves from the traditional ten-meter level to the hundred-meter and kilometer level, filling the technical gap in ultra-long-distance high-fidelity transmission of millimeter waves.
[0059] 2. High fidelity of high-frequency signal transmission and outstanding anti-interference performance: In view of the characteristics of millimeter-wave high-frequency signals being easily distorted and susceptible to interference, this application designs a multi-stage high-frequency signal preprocessing and back-end waveform restoration and conditioning circuit. Combined with the electromagnetic interference-free transmission characteristics of optical fiber and a fully enclosed shielding structure, it can effectively filter various high-frequency noise, electromagnetic crosstalk and environmental interference, ensuring that the millimeter-wave signal waveform is complete, the parameters are accurate and the signal-to-noise ratio is excellent after long-distance transmission, which greatly improves the working reliability and detection accuracy of the RF system.
[0060] 3. Highly integrated and lightweight design with strong engineering practicality: This application adopts a chip-integrated packaging structure, eliminating bulky long-distance coaxial cables. The components are small in size, lightweight, and easy to wire, greatly reducing the wiring load and assembly difficulty of the equipment. Both ends use standardized millimeter-wave interfaces, which can be directly compatible with various existing millimeter-wave RF complete systems without modifying the original equipment structure and circuit. It has wide adaptability, low modification cost, and can be quickly deployed in various engineering scenarios.
[0061] 4. It is compatible with short-distance and long-distance transmission requirements under all working conditions, breaking through the limitation of traditional transmission solutions with only one working condition adaptability.
[0062] 5. High stability, low maintenance cost, and long service life: The fiber optic transmission medium has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, aging resistance, bending resistance, and no conductor oxidation loss. Combined with the integrated protection structure of voltage stabilization, electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic shielding built into the components, it can work stably for a long time in complex electromagnetic and temperature change environments. The equipment failure rate is extremely low. Compared with traditional millimeter wave cables, the service life is greatly extended, and the maintenance and replacement costs are significantly reduced.
[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, the provided radio frequency millimeter-wave photoelectric conversion component is adapted to the 26GHz~145GHz millimeter-wave operating frequency band and can be applied to 5G / 6G millimeter-wave communication equipment, high-precision millimeter-wave detection radar, and remote radio frequency measurement and control system, with a maximum stable transmission distance of up to 200m.
[0064] The specific assembly method and working principle are as follows: 1. Equipment Assembly and Connection: Connect the millimeter-wave RF input connector of the transmitter's optoelectronic conversion module to the RF output port of the front-end millimeter-wave signal transmitting equipment. Connect the millimeter-wave RF output connector of the receiver's optoelectronic conversion module to the signal input port of the back-end RF receiver system. Connect the transmitter's optical transmitting interface and the receiver's optical receiving interface with ultra-low loss single-mode optical fiber to complete the wiring and assembly of the entire set of components. Connect the power supply lines of the components to ensure that the voltage regulation and protection unit works normally.
[0065] 2. Electro-optical transmission process: After the millimeter-wave high-frequency electrical signal output from the front-end equipment is connected to the transmitter module, it first enters the high-frequency signal preprocessing unit. The signal reflection loss is eliminated by a precise 50Ω impedance matching circuit, and environmental electromagnetic interference and noise are filtered out by a high-frequency noise filtering circuit. Then, the signal amplitude is compensated by a signal compensation amplification circuit, outputting a pure, stable, and distortion-free millimeter-wave electrical signal. Subsequently, the stable high-frequency electrical signal is input to a millimeter-wave dedicated electro-optical conversion chip. The chip modulates the corresponding optical signal in real time according to the frequency and amplitude variation of the electrical signal, completing a high-precision electro-optical conversion. Finally, the modulated optical signal is input into a single-mode optical fiber through an optical fiber interface for long-distance, low-loss transmission.
[0066] 3. Optical-to-Electrical Reception and Restoration Process: The modulated optical signal transmitted via optical fiber is stably transmitted to the photoelectric conversion module at the receiving end. The high-precision optical receiving interface completely acquires the optical signal and transmits it to the millimeter-wave photoelectric conversion chip. The millimeter-wave photoelectric conversion chip performs high-speed demodulation on the high-frequency modulated optical signal, initially restoring the original millimeter-wave electrical signal. The demodulated electrical signal enters the signal restoration and conditioning unit, where waveform shaping circuits repair the minor waveform distortions generated during transmission, loss compensation amplification circuits compensate for the minor transmission losses of the optical fiber, and secondary filtering of residual high-frequency noise and impedance calibration are performed to achieve accurate restoration of signal amplitude, waveform, and frequency. Finally, the millimeter-wave electrical signal with extremely high fidelity is transmitted to the back-end RF receiving system through the millimeter-wave RF output connector interface, completing the long-distance transmission operation.
[0067] 4. Stable operation with overall protection: Throughout the entire operation process, the built-in embedded voltage regulator unit continuously outputs a constant working voltage to avoid chip malfunctions and signal distortion caused by voltage fluctuations; the electrostatic discharge protection unit releases electrostatic charges in real time to protect high-frequency precision chips; the external integrated metal shielding shell isolates external electromagnetic radiation and radio frequency crosstalk in all directions, ensuring long-term stable operation of components in complex electromagnetic environments.
[0068] Verified through multiple sets of working conditions: Under a standard transmission distance of 100m, the millimeter-wave signal transmission loss of this embodiment is ≤0.5dB, which is significantly improved compared to the transmission loss of more than 15dB of traditional millimeter-wave coaxial cables, with a signal-to-noise ratio improvement of more than 40%. Under ultra-long-distance transmission conditions of 200m, there is no signal loss, no obvious distortion, and the loss is controllable, fully meeting the working indicators and usage requirements of high-precision millimeter-wave complete system.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
