[0056] The circuit of this invention can operate in both up-conversion and down-conversion modes.

[0057] The frequency conversion circuits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this invention provide frequency conversion channels for two high- and low-frequency radio frequency signals, respectively. When the system operates as a receiving module, the radio frequency signal is input to the module's radio frequency port. The signal passes through the switching circuit and enters the corresponding frequency conversion channel and filtering channel, realizing the down-conversion function of the broadband signal. When the system operates as a transmitting module, the intermediate frequency signal is input to the module's intermediate frequency port. The intermediate frequency signal first undergoes one frequency conversion, and then passes through the switching circuit to enter the corresponding frequency conversion channel and filtering channel, realizing the up-conversion function of the broadband signal.

[0058] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0059] The working principle of the broadband high-speed frequency hopping converter component for wireless broadband signal communication in this utility model is as follows: Figure 2When the component works as a down-conversion component, a broadband radio frequency signal sent from outside passes through a switch circuit to select high frequency band and low frequency band conversion circuit, and frequency hopping works in ping-pong frequency conversion. The high frequency signal after once frequency conversion passes through a high band filter, and enters twice frequency conversion to convert the signal to a fixed low intermediate frequency frequency; for the low frequency band, the same frequency conversion link is performed twice, and the low frequency band filter filters out the low frequency band signal, and finally the switch circuit switches to the last frequency conversion to a fixed low intermediate frequency frequency output.

[0060] When the component works as an up-conversion component, an intermediate frequency signal sent from outside passes through once up-conversion to two different high intermediate frequency frequencies, and passes through a switch circuit to select twice up-conversion to convert the high frequency signal, and then passes through high and low frequency band filters to filter out the used frequency band. Finally, after the last frequency conversion to the corresponding working frequency band, the radio frequency signal is output through the switch circuit.

[0061] The frequency hopping function of the above broadband frequency conversion component is realized by using ping-pong frequency hopping function at radio frequency. In order to realize frequency hopping function in a range of three times frequency, 12GHz bandwidth, the frequency hopping source adopts four times frequency local oscillator frequency, and the ping-pong frequency hopping mode is realized. The frequency hopping source works with high local oscillator, which increases the design difficulty of the frequency source, but because the frequency hopping range is widened, the anti-interference ability of the whole frequency conversion component is enhanced. In order to avoid the spurious signal generated by broadband frequency conversion falling into the working frequency band, three times frequency conversion is adopted to realize high quality output of the frequency conversion signal. The difficulty of circuit design is increased, and more reasonable frequency planning and circuit design are needed, combined with advanced assembly level to realize broadband frequency conversion function and widen the use scene of the whole component.

[0062] In summary, the utility model has the function of realizing small step, fast frequency hopping in the broadband working frequency range of multiple frequency conversion, has the characteristics of low cost, small size, wide use range. It expands the application range of different types of communication systems, and the high local oscillator fast frequency hopping function improves the anti-interference ability and reliability of the wireless communication system.
