Under some situation, whether send any or both in the above wireless protocols by amplifier 216 according to current, the characteristic of PGA 216a, PAD 216b and/or PA 216c can regulate or control to optimize the operation of amplifier 216.Thus, this characteristic refers to for example bias current value, the linearity and/or gain.In addition, optimization refers to and for example realizes maximum effect.
In the work, amplifier 216 scalable WLAN signals, the Bluetooth signal that amplifier 226 amplifies from processing module 220 from processing module 210.The overall gain of amplifier 216 is greater than the overall gain of amplifier 226, because the ratio of gains Bluetooth signal that the WLAN signal needs when transmitting wants big.But sometimes, Bluetooth signal transmits with the 1st quasi-mode, and the signal strength signal intensity level of its emission is higher.Because amplifier 226 can not send the signal of the 1st class rank (for example 20dBm), Bluetooth signal will send amplifier 216 to.
In one embodiment of the present of invention, when radio frequency commutation circuit 230 disconnected, Bluetooth signal separated with amplifier 216.But, can be with radio frequency commutation circuit 230 closures, so that Bluetooth signal is sent to amplifier 216 from processor 220.An example of radio frequency commutation circuit will be described in conjunction with Fig. 3.When Bluetooth signal will be amplified by amplifier 216, just do not need amplifier 226, therefore, the power that offers amplifier 226 can be reduced.In the one embodiment of the invention, offer the voltage of amplifier 216 and/or amplifier 226 or electric current can reduce or cut off fully when amplifier is not used.
When the Bluetooth signal that is transmitting had the frequency range of the bandwidth range that is positioned at amplifier 216 and this Bluetooth signal frequency and do not overlap with the WLAN signal frequency, amplifier 216 can amplify Bluetooth signal and WLAN signal simultaneously.In addition, each embodiment of the present invention also can reduce the quantity of power that offers one or both in processing module 210 and/or the processor 220 when processing module is not used.For example, if do not send the WLAN signal, then can reduce the power of processing module 210.In the another embodiment of the present invention, when supporting two or more agreements, every kind of agreement can be used corresponding and processing module 210 and 220 similar processing modules.Thus, every kind of agreement of being supported does not need to have for example amplifier 226 of its oneself radio frequency part, on the contrary, can simultaneously or use high power path to be used for shared transmission path operation separately.

The difference of transmission path shown in Fig. 2 B and the disclosed transmission path of Fig. 2 A is, uses individual antenna to launch among Fig. 2 B.Thus, disclosed transmission path does not need antenna 228, amplifier 226 among Fig. 2 B, does not need radio frequency commutation circuit 230 yet, and can use amplifier 217 to replace amplifier 216.
Amplifier 217 comprises for example programmable gain amplifier (PGA) 217a, power amplifier driver (PAD) 217b and power amplifier (PA) 217c.PGA 217a provides gain to differential input signal WLAN +And WLAN -Or to bluetooth differential signal BT +And BT -The gain of PGA 217a can for example radio-frequency (RF) transceiver 122, processor 125 and/or baseband processor 129 be controlled by circuit and/or processor.PAD 217b provides further gain, and PA 217c provides more gain so that launch by antenna 218.The difference output of PA 217c can convert single output to so that emission by balanced-to-unblanced transformer.PGA 217a, PAD 217b and/or PA 217c can by from circuit and/or processor for example a plurality of control signals of radio-frequency (RF) transceiver 122, processor 125 and/or baseband processor 129 control.In one embodiment of the present of invention, for provide to Bluetooth signal with Fig. 2 A amplifier 226 in the similar operation that provided of PA 226a, can utilize control signal to dispose PGA 217a and PAD 217b so that unit gain to be provided, and overall gain is provided by PA 217c.
Radio frequency switch 231 comprises suitable logic and/or circuit, and can realize will be from the bluetooth differential signal BT that handles module 220 +And BT -And/or from the WLAN differential signal WLAN of processing module 210 +And WLAN -Send amplifier 217 to.Therefore, amplifier 217 scalable WLAN differential signal WLAN +And WLAN -, bluetooth differential signal BT +And BT -, or WLAN differential signal WLAN +And WLAN -With bluetooth differential signal BT +And BT -Both.Radio frequency switch 213 can comprise one or more stage of switches.
In the work, amplifier 217 scalable from processing module 210 the WLAN signal and from the Bluetooth signal of processing module 220.The overall gain of amplifier 217 can be controlled, because the gain higher than bluetooth signal of when emission WLAN signal demand.But sometimes, Bluetooth signal can be launched by the 1st quasi-mode, and this moment, the signal strength signal intensity level of emission can be higher.
When the Bluetooth signal that is transmitting had the frequency range of the bandwidth range that is positioned at amplifier 217 and this Bluetooth signal frequency and do not overlap with the WLAN signal frequency, amplifier 217 can amplify Bluetooth signal and WLAN signal simultaneously.In addition, each embodiment of the present invention also can reduce the quantity of power that offers one or both in processing module 210 and/or the processor 220 when processing module is not used.For example, if do not send the WLAN signal, then can reduce the power of processing module 210.

Fig. 3 is the schematic block diagram that is used for the radio frequency commutation circuit of shared power amplifier (amplifier) according to an embodiment of the invention.Transistor 302,304,306 and 308, main spurious impedance 300 and the load impedance 350 relevant with trace route (trace routing) are arranged as shown in Figure 3.Spurious impedance 300 by resistor 310 and 320, inductor 312,314,322 and 324 and capacitor 316 and 326 simulate.Spurious impedance 300 is to produce from transistor 302 and 304 paths to transistor 306 and 308.Therefore, load impedance 350 can increase along with the increase in path.Load impedance 350 can be the load impedance of frequency mixer 214a and 214b, and is similar in conjunction with the inductor among Fig. 2 C 250 and 254, capacitor 252 and 256 described load impedances.
Enable signal EN can send the grid of transistor 302,304,306 and 308 to.Transistor 302 and 304 comprises first switch in the radio frequency commutation circuit for example 230, and transistor 306 and 308 comprises second switch in the radio frequency commutation circuit 230.Under the situation of first processing module away from second processing module, two stage of switches can be used for radio frequency commutation circuit 230.Otherwise, in radio frequency commutation circuit 230, only use a stage of switches.The quantity of the stage of switches of using in the commutation circuit 230 depends on design.Therefore, commutation circuit 230 can comprise one or more commutation circuits.
In the work, if commutation circuit 230 will disconnect, enable signal EN will be removed to assert (deasserted), the electric current of transistor 302,304,306 and 308 thereby cut-out is flowed through.Therefore, amplify by amplifier 226, amplify by amplifier 216 from the WLAN signal of processing module 210 from the Bluetooth signal of processing module 220.If prepare to amplify Bluetooth signal from processing module 220 by amplifier 216, then enable signal EN is asserted (asserted).Enable signal EN can for example radio-frequency (RF) transceiver 122, processor 125 and/or digital baseband processor 129 be controlled by circuit and/or processor.
Because the impedance ratio frequency mixer 224a of the source electrode of transistor 302 and 304 and the load impedance (having provided description in conjunction with Fig. 2 C) of 224b are much smaller, most of output current of frequency mixer 224a and 224b will be guided transistor 302 and 304, rather than load impedance.Spurious impedance 300 can be served as low pass filter, makes a part of high frequency be shunted ground connection by capacitor 316 and 326.Along with the increase of source impedance and reducing of load impedance, the 3dB point of this low pass filter may be higher frequency.
The source impedance of the low pass filter that spurious impedance 300 forms can be the drain impedance of transistor 302 and 304, and this impedance is very high.The load impedance of the low pass filter that spurious impedance 300 forms can be the source impedance of transistor 306 and 308, and this impedance is very low.Therefore, the low pass filter of spurious impedance 300 formation can not decayed from the too many Bluetooth signal of processing module 220.This Bluetooth signal produces voltage then on the load impedance 350 of frequency mixer 214a and 214b.The final voltage that produces can send the differential input end of amplifier 216 on the load impedance 350.
If the WLAN signal also will amplify by amplifier 216, then the WLAN signal from frequency mixer 214a and 214b will merge with the Bluetooth signal from frequency mixer 224a and 224b, to produce voltage on load impedance 350.Therefore, among each embodiment of the present invention, amplifier 216 scalable Bluetooth signals or WLAN signal or amplify two kinds of signals are simultaneously launched by antenna 218 then.
