Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway communication systems, specifically a dual-mode DRTD digital broadband fiber optic repeater. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the 450MHz wireless train dispatching communication system is mainly used on existing conventional railways, branch lines, and dedicated railway lines. This system suffers from numerous problems, including low frequency resource utilization, poor signal transmission quality, weak anti-interference capabilities, aging equipment, and serious exceeding of its service life. Furthermore, with the innovation of railway communication technology and adjustments to national policies on radio spectrum resources, the 450MHz train wireless dispatching system will gradually be phased out of the railway communication market, thus necessitating urgent upgrading and transformation. However, upgrading existing lines faces a series of challenges, including high investment costs, lengthy development cycles, and difficulties in project approval. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dual-mode DRTD digital broadband fiber optic repeater. It adopts the dual-mode DRTD digital broadband fiber optic repeater working concept and supports dual-mode applications of the train digital wireless dispatching system (mode 1) and the 450MHz train wireless dispatching system (mode 2). This provides a solution that is more practical, has a relatively low cost, a short construction period, and is easy to maintain and manage.

[0004] This utility model includes a first standard port and a second standard port. Each standard port includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter of the first standard port is connected to the transmitting antenna in sequence through a duplexer, a main and backup intermediate frequency board, a main and backup power amplifier (PA) and an RFout port. The transmitting antenna is connected back to the receiver of the first standard port in sequence through a first low-noise amplifier (LNA), a main and backup intermediate frequency board, and a duplexer. The transmitter of the second standard port is connected to the transmitting antenna in sequence through a circulator, a main and backup intermediate frequency board, a main and backup power amplifier (PA) and an RFout port. The transmitting antenna is connected to the receiver of the second standard port in sequence through a switch, a second low-noise amplifier (LNA), a main and backup intermediate frequency board, and a circulator.

[0009] Since conventional railways, railway branch lines, and local railways are not of a high grade and have relatively low traffic density, the dual-mode DRTD digital broadband fiber optic repeater concept is adopted to support the dual-mode application of the train digital wireless dispatching system (mode 1) and the 450MHz train wireless dispatching system (mode 2). This provides a solution that is more practical, relatively low-cost, has a short construction period, and is easy to maintain and manage.

[0020] This utility model is as follows Figure 1 As shown, there are a first standard port and a second standard port. Each standard port includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter of the first standard port is connected to the transmitting antenna in sequence through a duplexer, a main and backup intermediate frequency board, a main and backup power amplifier (PA) and an RFout port.

[0023] Further improvements include a first standard port operating at a frequency of 400MHz, with an uplink frequency of 403.2MHz to 404.2MHz and a downlink frequency of 413.2MHz to 414.2MHz.

[0024] Further improvements include a second standard port operating frequency of 450MHz, with an uplink frequency of 457MHz~459MHz and a downlink frequency of 457MHz~459MHz for the same frequency and 467MHz~469MHz for different frequencies.

[0025] One specific embodiment of this utility model consists of a near-end unit ( Figure 2 ) and remote machine ( Figure 3The system consists of two components. The near-end unit is capable of processing two signal formats. It employs two independent physical ports, allowing simultaneous input of both formats without interference. The near-end unit's Port1 and Port2 receive signals of format 1 and format 2 respectively. These signals are converted to digital signals by the intermediate frequency board's analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module, packaged and converted into serial data by the digital processing unit, and then transmitted to the far-end unit via optical fiber. The far-end unit receives the signals, converts them to analog signals by the intermediate frequency board's digital-to-analog converter (DAC) module, and amplifies both formats before sending them to the weak signal area.

[0026] The dual-mode DRTD digital broadband fiber optic repeater operates as follows:

[0027] System 1 (transmit f1, receive f2): Signal f1 enters the duplexer from Port1, then enters the main / backup intermediate frequency board for processing. The processed signal f1 is amplified by the main / backup PA and transmitted to the antenna from the RFout port.

[0028] During reception, the antenna receives signal f2, which is amplified by LNA1 with low noise, then processed by the main / backup intermediate frequency board, transmitted through optical fiber to the near-end unit, and output from Port1 via a duplexer.

[0029] Mode 2 (transmit f3, receive f4): Signal f3 enters the circulator from Port2, then enters the main / backup IF board for processing. The processed signal f3 is amplified by the main / backup PA and transmitted to the antenna from the RFout port.

[0030] During reception, the antenna receives signal f4, which is then amplified by LNA2 with low noise after passing through a switching switch. It is then processed by the main / backup intermediate frequency board, transmitted through optical fiber to the near-end unit, and output from Port2 via a circulator as f4.

[0031] A dual-mode DRTD digital broadband fiber optic repeater configures the operating frequency band via software: when mode 1 and mode 2 need to work simultaneously, the channel switches of the two modes are set to the on state, thereby achieving the purpose of dual-mode operation; when mode 1 or mode 2 needs to work alone, the corresponding switches are set to the on state respectively, so as to achieve individual control of the required mode.
