Description

Technical Field

Therefore, due to the above characteristics of millimeter wave isolation, when designing its circuit, it is necessary to consider the problem of affecting the transmission characteristics due to the fact that the transmitter and receiver are a whole and the distance is relatively close.

[0107] In this embodiment, the millimeter wave transceiver is used to achieve isolation in a high-power device driver, and by providing a feedback mechanism on each channel, the input signal can be regulated according to the feedback signal, thereby further ensuring the signal transmission performance.

[0108] In another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the millimeter wave transceiver further includes a first signal modulation circuit, a first signal demodulation circuit, a second signal modulation circuit, a second signal demodulation circuit, a transmission feedback terminal, a power detector and a power coupler corresponding to each transmitting end, and a high-power device driver corresponding to all receiving ends; that is, for a multi-channel millimeter wave transceiver, each channel is provided with a first signal modulation circuit (i.e. Figure 4 The signal modulation circuit in the low voltage region of the first signal demodulation circuit (i.e. Figure 4 The signal demodulation circuit in the medium and high voltage region) and the second signal modulation circuit (i.e. Figure 4 The signal modulation circuit in the high voltage region of the second signal demodulation circuit (i.e. Figure 4 Signal demodulation circuit in the medium and low voltage area), power detector, power coupler and transmission feedback end (i.e. Figure 4 TX in medium and high voltage areas);

[0118] This implementation is another way to implement the backhaul mechanism. The backhaul mechanism is implemented using only one pair of antennas on each channel, further saving costs and reducing volume.

[0119] In another optional embodiment, Figure 5-Figure 13 (The matching network is not shown in the figure) Several implementation methods of the transmitter and receiver are listed as follows:

[0120] like Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the transmitting end includes a first oscillator and a transmitting end power amplifier, wherein the first oscillator is a voltage controlled oscillator VCO;

[0121] The output end of the first oscillator is connected to the first input end of the transmitting end power amplifier;

[0122] The second input end of the transmitting end power amplifier receives the signal to be modulated;

[0123] That is, in this implementation, the modulation of the carrier signal and the signal to be modulated is directly realized at the transmitting end power amplifier;

[0124] Or Figure 11-13 As shown, the input end of the first oscillator receives the signal to be modulated, and the output end is connected to the input end of the transmitting end power amplifier;

[0125] The output end of the transmitting end power amplifier is connected to the one end of the transmitting end matching network;

[0126] That is, in this implementation, the first oscillator at the transmitting end directly implements the modulation of the carrier signal and the signal to be modulated;

[0127] In the above two implementations, the mixer is omitted at the transmitting end, and the modulation of the carrier and the signal is directly set at the transmitting end power amplifier or the first oscillator. While omitting the mixer, the start-up time of the power amplifier is also reduced, saving power consumption to a certain extent.

[0128] Or Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, the transmitting end includes a first oscillator;

[0129] The input end of the first oscillator receives a signal to be modulated;

[0130] The output end of the first oscillator is connected to the one end of the transmitter matching network;

[0131] That is, in this implementation, the first oscillator at the transmitting end not only generates a carrier wave, but is also responsible for modulating the signal and the carrier wave together to form a mixed wave, and then transmitting the mixed wave through the antenna, thereby satisfying signal transmission while saving space.

[0132] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig.11 As shown, the receiving end includes a receiving end power amplifier and a detector;

[0133] The input end of the receiving end power amplifier is connected to the one end of the receiving end matching network;

[0134] The output end of the receiving end power amplifier is connected to the input end of the detector;

[0135] Or Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.13 As shown, the receiving end includes a receiving end power amplifier and a mixer;

[0136] The input end of the receiving end power amplifier is connected to the one end of the receiving end matching network;

[0137] The first output terminal of the receiving end power amplifier is connected to the first input terminal of the mixer;

[0138] The second output terminal of the receiving end power amplifier is connected to the second input terminal of the mixer;

[0139] Or Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.12 As shown, the receiving end includes a receiving end power amplifier, a mixer and a second oscillator LO;

[0140] The input end of the receiving end power amplifier is connected to the one end of the receiving end matching network;

[0141] The output end of the receiving end power amplifier is connected to the first input end of the mixer;

[0143] In an optional embodiment, if Fig.14 As shown, the transmitting end M1 and the receiving end M2 are packaged with a preset distance in the horizontal direction;

[0144] Specifically, the millimeter wave transceiver includes a packaging layer, a first substrate and a second substrate stacked in sequence, wherein the transmitting end and the receiving end are horizontally and spaced apart and packaged in the packaging layer, that is, side transmission of signals between the transmitting end M1 and the receiving end M2 is realized.

[0145] In another optional embodiment, Fig.15 As shown, the transmitting end M1 and the receiving end M2 are packaged with a preset distance in the vertical direction;

[0146] Specifically, the millimeter wave transceiver includes a packaging layer, a first substrate and a second substrate stacked in sequence, wherein the transmitting end is encapsulated in the packaging layer, and the receiving end is encapsulated in the first substrate, thereby realizing face-to-face transmission of signals between the transmitting end M1 and the receiving end M2.

[0148] Among them, in the method of realizing packaging integration by means of lead frame, such as Fig.18 As shown, including flip chip (FlipChip), wire bonding (WireBond):

[0149] Flip-chip soldering: The millimeter-wave antenna and transceiver chip are integrated on the substrate and then attached to the frame as a whole;

[0151] Among them, Fig.19 As shown, the flip-chip bonding method and the wire bonding method include a wafer-level fan-out type (FanOut+RDL) method;

[0152] There are two cases for integrating millimeter wave antennas using TSV / RDL technology at the wafer level:

[0153] One is that the antenna is on the back of the wafer, and the application end still needs to attach the chip FlipChip to the packaging substrate for wire bonding to lead out the signal;

[0154] The other is that the antenna is on the same surface as other signals, without the need for a substrate, and wire bonding can be done directly on the chip pad to achieve millimeter wave module communication;

[0155] The stacked package is to stack two or more packages in the vertical direction. The position of the antenna can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The upper and lower circuit modules of the POP package can be completely isolated. The upper signal is directly led out from the top. In addition, since there is space between the upper and lower modules to add other insulating materials, the voltage resistance level can be increased and controlled. At the same time, part of the horizontal dimensional pressure will be converted into a vertical form, thereby realizing face-to-face transmission of the antenna.

[0156] In another optional embodiment, an electronic device includes a millimeter wave transceiver according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0157] Among them, any electronic device that needs to be isolated can use the millimeter wave transceiver of the above implementation, and the electronic device includes a motor driver, a DCDC power supply circuit, an isolated ADC or a battery system.
