Embodiment
In order to simplify description, use identical reference marker to represent to have the element of identical function in the accompanying drawing.
In three concrete configurations, antenna front-end system 1 according to the present invention is made up of antenna element 2 and another so-called interface (or front end) parts 3, and is positioned at the upper reaches of RFIC (RF IC) circuit 4 of signal reception/emission subsystem.This front end system 1 has and is used for 4 input/output terminals linking to each other with the RFIC circuit, corresponds respectively to the reception Rx and emission Tx port at 2.4GHz frequency place, and the reception Rx at 5GHz frequency place and emission Tx port.
According to first embodiment shown in Figure 1; System 1 comprises two broadbands or double frequency band aerial A1 and A2; Covered the 2.4GHz that distributed by a, b and g standard and all frequency bands at 5GHz place, allowed the simple reception at 5GHz frequency place and the reception that only utilizes 2 rank antenna diversities at 2.4GHz frequency place.This has vertical radiation to slot aerial (slot antenna), Vivaldi type for example, and A1 and A2 have independent dual-port N1 and the N2 that are used for 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency, and this antenna receives in these frequency bands and transmits allowing.
The port N1 of antenna A1 and the port N1 of antenna A2 link to 2.4GHz Tx and the 2.4GHz Rx terminal of RFIC via interface 31.For example, this interface 31 is dual input, the dual output switching circuits with the arrowband DPDT type in the 2.4GHz frequency band.Among this switching circuit managing antenna A1 and the A2 in 2.4GHz port N1 of each and the RFIC circuit and emission Tx or the signal that receives between corresponding each the 2.4GHz port of Rx port switch.Therefore, the management of this switching circuit is to the selection of a 2.4GHz receive channel of antenna (antenna diversity), or to the selection of a 2.4GHz send channel of or other antennas.
The 5GHz port N2 that is used to receive of the 5GHz port N2 that is used to launch of antenna A1 and antenna A2 directly links with the 5GHz Tx and the Rx port of RFIC circuit respectively.This interface scheme only uses single external module, i.e. DPDT switching circuit, and it can merge to realizing and will describe this below in the structure that this antenna advises.In addition, this assembly is operated under low frequency and narrow band mode, because it only is limited in the 2.4GHz frequency band.Therefore, reduced the inherent loss of assembly.
Fig. 1 b representes to support the sectional view according to the substrate of the antenna of this first configuration.Dwi hastasana is formed on the substrate S, for example very cheap substrate as FR4.The ground level M that comprises the section of two antennas is positioned on the bottom of substrate.Through being electromagnetically coupled to etched little band power line on the substrate offside, supply power to the Vivaldi antenna.Therefore, top layer A is used for power circuit and switch interface 31.
Possibly, if desired, in order to launch, the outside power amplifier 37 of RFIC can be connected to the emission terminal Tx of RFIC circuit, to amplify armed signal.Similarly, if desired, in order to receive, low noise amplifier 38 can be connected to the reception terminal of RFIC circuit, to amplify the signal that is received.
Fig. 2 a representes second configuration according to system of the present invention, needs the antenna diversity on 2.4GHz and the 5GHz for this reason.The slot aerial of Vivaldi type makes it possible to receive the signal in these frequency bands to port N1 and N2 that A1 and A2 have two independent 2.4GHz and 5GHz respectively.The 2.4GHz port N1 of antenna A1 and A2 and 5GHz port N2 are a plurality of ports.They are used for transmitting and receiving of data, and link to coupling circuit 32 and 33, this coupling circuit 32 and 33 and the RFIC circuit form interface unit.
For example, this circuit 32 is the arrowband DPDT switching circuits in the 2.4GHz frequency band.It can be used among antenna A1 and the A2 each is switched to and Tx or corresponding each input of Rx port.Therefore, the selection that the management of this switching circuit is gone up a receive channel of antenna (antenna diversity) to 2.4GHz is perhaps to the selection of a send channel of or other antennas.
Similarly, for example circuit 33 is the arrowband DPDT switching circuits in the 5GHz frequency band.It can be used among antenna A1 and the A2 each is switched to Tx or corresponding each input of Rx port with RFIC circuit 4.Therefore, the selection that the management of this switching circuit is gone up a receive channel of antenna to 5GHz is perhaps to the selection of a send channel of or other antennas.
This scheme is used two external modules, and these assemblies can merge in the structure of being advised to the realization of this antenna with the described mode of Fig. 2 b, and it is identical with Fig. 2 a.
Possibly, if desired, in order to launch, the outside power amplifier 37 of RFIC can be connected to the emission terminal Tx of RFIC circuit, to amplify armed signal.Similarly, if desired, in order to receive, low noise amplifier 38 can be connected to the reception terminal of RFIC circuit, to amplify the signal that is received.
Fig. 2 b representes to support the sectional view according to the substrate of the antenna of this second configuration, and its mode is with identical during first disposes.Top layer A is used to realize power circuit and two switch interfaces 32 and 33.
Fig. 3 representes the 3rd configuration according to system of the present invention, needs the antenna diversity on 2.4GHz and the 5GHz for this reason.The 3rd configuration is described by the realization on the sandwich construction with 3 antennas shown in Fig. 3 c.In a side of this structure, the slot aerial that forms the Vivaldi type has two independent 2.4GHz and 5GHz port N1 and N2 to A1 and A2, only allows to receive the signal in these frequency bands.Interface 34 makes it possible to selective reception signal from two signals of 2.4GHz frequency reception.Similarly, interface 35 makes it possible to selective reception signal from two signals of 5GHz frequency reception.Switch such as SPDT (single-pole double throw) circuit is represented suitable switch.This interface makes it possible to receive the signal on 2.4GHz and the 5GHz, and it is formed by two SPDT circuit 34 and 35, is therefore minimized, and this is owing to no longer need the send-receive port be coupled to CF.These circuit can merge on the side of sandwich construction, shown in Fig. 3 c.
The slot aerial that is intended to launch the 3rd Vivaldi type of the signal in 2.4GHz and the 5GHz frequency band is positioned on the opposite side of substrate (Fig. 3 c).The input terminal Tx of armed signal is directly linked to the different port of this antenna.Under emission mode, RFIC element and the direct coupling between the antenna of emission subsystem makes it possible to eliminate before the loss that the existence owing to the DPDT circuit causes.
Can realize the Vivaldi antenna with the mode shown in Fig. 3 c.Etching is used for dividing the antenna that collects two Vivaldi types of carrying out Data Receiving at 2.4GHz and the utilization of 5GHz frequency band on the top side of ground level M, is positioned on two limits of 90 ° of the traditional F R type multi-layer PCB that supports motherboard.Etching third antenna on the bottom side is positioned at the corner of FR4 type sandwich construction.Through being electromagnetically coupled to etched little band power line on the substrate offside, supply power to the Vivaldi antenna.The power circuit A that is used to launch TXBe positioned on the bottom side of sandwich construction of substrate, and the power circuit A that is used to receive RXBe positioned on the top side of sandwich construction of substrate.In the better insulation between the etched power circuit that has the also feasible power circuit that can be provided for launching of structure of three Vivaldi antennas and be used to receive on the both sides of public ground level.
Simplify other layouts of associated interface thereby it is contemplated that to be separated transmitting and receiving of data.
As stated, possibly, if desired, the low noise amplifier that is used to receive 38 be used for the terminal that emitted power amplifier 37 can be connected to the RFIC circuit.
