[0033] Example

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 5In this embodiment, in order to meet the requirement of ensuring signal stability when inputting a radio frequency signal, a radio frequency input protection structure for a solid-state power source is provided. The input protection structure is electrically connected to the radio frequency input terminal of the solid-state power source. The input protection structure is used to transmit and access the radio frequency signal and then filter and limit it. Specifically, the input protection structure includes: a first attenuator, a first amplifier circuit, a second attenuator, a limiter circuit, a third attenuator, a radio frequency switching circuit, a filter circuit, and a second amplifier circuit. The first attenuator is electrically connected to the radio frequency input terminal. The first attenuator is used to perform π-type attenuation on the input radio frequency signal transmitted from the radio frequency input terminal, so that the first attenuator reduces the input standing wave ratio of the input radio frequency signal. One end of the first amplifier circuit can be electrically connected to the first attenuator through a DC blocking capacitor. The first amplifier circuit is used to perform a first signal gain amplification process on the input radio frequency signal after attenuation by the first attenuator. One end of the second attenuator can be electrically connected to the other end of the first amplifier circuit via a DC blocking capacitor. The second attenuator is used to adjust the signal amplitude of the input RF signal after amplification by the first amplifier circuit so that the input RF signal processed by the second attenuator meets the clipping level requirements of the subsequent clipping circuit. One end of the clipping circuit is electrically connected to the other end of the second attenuator. The clipping circuit is used to filter and limit the signal amplitude of the input RF signal after processing by the second attenuator to prevent damage to subsequent components caused by excessive input power of the input RF signal. One end of the third attenuator can be electrically connected to the clipping circuit via a DC blocking capacitor. The third attenuator is used to filter and limit the signal amplitude of the input RF signal after processing by the clipping circuit to prevent damage to subsequent components caused by excessive input power of the input RF signal processed by the clipping circuit. One end of the RF switching circuit is electrically connected to the other end of the third attenuator via a DC blocking capacitor. The RF switching circuit is used to perform RF switching on and off the input RF signal after processing by the clipping circuit. One end of the filter circuit can be electrically connected to the RF switch circuit via a DC blocking capacitor. The filter circuit is used to remove out-of-band harmonics and spurious waves from the input RF signal processed by the RF switch circuit. One end of the second amplifier circuit can be connected to the other end of the filter circuit via a DC blocking capacitor. The other end of the second amplifier circuit can be electrically connected to other subsequent circuits in the solid-state power source via a DC blocking capacitor, so that the second amplifier circuit can perform second signal amplification processing on the input RF signal processed by the filter circuit, and the DC signal is isolated from the input RF signal processed by the second amplifier circuit via a DC blocking capacitor, and then the input RF signal is output.To ensure stable power supply for the signal amplification of the input protection structure, a first voltage stabilizing circuit is also provided. One end of the first voltage stabilizing circuit can be electrically connected to a power supply, and the other end of the first voltage stabilizing circuit is electrically connected to the first and second amplifier circuits, respectively. In other words, in this embodiment, by providing a limiting circuit, a filtering circuit, and multiple attenuators within the input protection structure, filtering and amplitude limiting protection are implemented for the RF signal inputted at the RF input terminal. This ensures RF signal stability and reduces the risk of subsequent damage to the power amplifier structure caused by unstable input RF signals. This effectively meets the requirement for signal stability when inputting RF signals.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first voltage-stabilizing circuit also includes: multiple filter capacitors and a voltage-stabilizing diode, so that the power supply voltage in the power supply module passes through the multiple filter capacitors and enters the voltage-stabilizing diode, and the DC voltage output by the voltage-stabilizing diode passes through the multiple filter capacitors and then powers the first amplifier circuit and the second amplifier circuit through the inductor.

[0036] In this embodiment, the amplitude limiting circuit is a limiter. Specifically, the amplitude limiting circuit can select a corresponding limiter according to actual power usage.

[0037] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a solid-state power source device, which adopts the input protection structure described above. By adopting the above-mentioned input protection structure, the device achieves filtering and limiting protection processing of the radio frequency signal input to the radio frequency input end of the device, thereby reducing the occurrence of damage to the subsequent power amplifier structure due to unstable input radio frequency signal.

[0038] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
