Terms such as "horizontal", "vertical", and "overhanging" do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0017] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, it can be a mechanical connection, it can be an electrical connection, it can be a direct connection, it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a multi-channel folded receiving front-end component includes 12 input channels and 6 output channels; the 12 input channels include six 0.38-2GHz frequency band channels and six 2-18GHz frequency band channels; the input end of each output channel is connected to the output end of a single-pole double-throw switch, and the input end of the single-pole double-throw switch is respectively connected to one 0.38-2GHz frequency band channel and one 2-18GHz frequency band channel; a single-pole double-throw switch is used between channels to segment the input ultra-wideband signal, and a sample-hold amplification process is performed to output the signal within a specific frequency range;

[0019] The 0.38-2GHz frequency band channels are all composed of a limiter, a first amplifier, a temperature-compensated attenuator, a second amplifier, an equalizer, an attenuator, and a sample-and-hold amplifier connected in series in sequence;

[0020] The 2-18GHz frequency band channels are all composed of limiters and amplifiers connected in series in sequence; the first stage of the 12 input channels uses limiters to prevent high-power signals from entering the module and burning subsequent chips; a multi-stage amplification cascade method is used in the channel to amplify the received signal, and attenuation chips are cascaded between amplifiers to reduce standing waves between amplifiers.

[0021] Each group of sampling and holding amplifiers in the 2-18 GHz frequency band is connected to the differential clock signal, and the differential clock signal is divided into six clock signal channels through a power division chip.

[0022] The 0.38-2GHz frequency band channel and the 2-18GHz frequency band channel are located in the positive and negative routing layers respectively; the two frequency bands are routed through the positive and negative sides to increase isolation, and the signal is output through a single-pole double-throw switch through a vertical transition design.

[0025] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the RF signal in the 0.38-2GHz frequency band is mainly amplified, and the receiver can directly sample it, and the principle is not repeated. The 2-18GHz frequency band divides the entire frequency band into different frequency bands according to the step of 1.28GHz. Through the sample-and-hold amplifier, the RF signal and the differential clock signal of each frequency band are sampled and amplified to obtain the intermediate frequency signal of 0.01-1.28GHz. The receiver performs direction finding by sampling the phase and amplitude of the intermediate frequency signal of 0.01-1.28GHz of 6 channels.

[0026] The above-described embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred implementations of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention.
