Innovative point of the present invention is that the radio frequency front end chip as gps signal down conversion and digitizing function is integrated in the module with the active antenna that preceding stage gain and noise suppressed are provided; Realize radio frequency integrated active antenna scheme, thereby produced the not available advantage of traditional solution.First; With GPS active antenna and the two module that is integrated of GPS radio frequency front end chip; Saved and connected required cable and sub-miniature A connector, only need consider the resistance matching problem of active antenna output and radio frequency front end chip during design, owing to have only line very short on the printed circuit board (PCB); Impedance operator is stable, so coupling is easy to.The second, the connecting line of active antenna and the GPS radio frequency front end chip of solution of the present invention on printed circuit board (PCB) is extremely short, compares traditional scheme and can significantly improve and introduce extra noise problem.The 3rd, impedance matching degree height between the radio-frequency module among the present invention, signal attenuation is little, reduces interconnected loss.According to the noise figure formula, then the overall noise index index of system can improve.The 4th; Radio frequency integrated GPS active antenna of the present invention connects baseband processing chip through cable, and its signal that outputs to the GPS baseband processing chip is a digital signal, and is well-known; Digital signal is not subject to disturb, and signal quality does not have any decline so can transmit long distance.The 5th, radio frequency integrated GPS active antenna and the conductive performance good with the GPS baseband processing chip, noise is little; Signal to noise ratio is high; The sensitivity of GPS receiver system is significantly improved, is reflected on the systematic function, just can shorten primary positioning time; Signal noise is disturbed little, improves positioning accuracy.The 6th, can be compact more in the novel formation design, shared space and area can dwindle, and the miniaturization requirement that is content with very little more is applicable to various portable communication devices.
Background technology
The gps satellite navigation system can provide the information of position, speed and time; Can be used for all types of target is positioned, navigates and supervises; It has characteristics such as totipotency (land, ocean, aerospace), global, round-the-clock, continuity and real-time; At Construction Party's masks such as information, traffic, safety guard, agricultural, fishery, disaster prevention and control, environmental monitorings the irreplaceable important function of other means is arranged, its development prospect is very wide, more and more receives people's attention in recent years.
Technical progress such as the miniaturization of GPS chip or chipset, high accuracy, low-power consumption, strong promotion gps satellite navigation system the GPS navigation positioning equipment based on platforms such as PDA, mobile phone, digital code players occurred in the application and the expansion of digital consumer market.But these application apparatuss of realizing the GPS navigation navigation system are had relatively high expectations to receiving sensitivity, thus usually also need add one-level GPS active antenna again in GPS radio frequency front end chip front, to improve system's receiving sensitivity.
The formation block diagram of tradition GPS receiver is as shown in Figure 1.In the formation of existing technical scheme GPS receiver by active antenna 101 modules; And the GPS radio frequency front end chip 102 that is installed on the printed circuit board is formed with baseband processing chip 103; Active antenna 101 is connected with the GPS radio frequency front end chip, and the GPS radio frequency front end chip is connected with baseband processing chip 103.In the prior art, above-mentioned active antenna 101 comprises passive dielectric antenna, low noise amplifier and three parts of filter.Usually active antenna 101 has a standalone module of one's own; Active antenna receives gps signal and accomplishes the amplification and the filtering of signal; And the GPS radio frequency front end chip also is the module that needs independent design, and the output signal of active antenna 101 must be delivered to the signal input part of GPS radio frequency front end chip through sub-miniature A connector and 50 ohm transmission line cables.There are many shortcomings in the structure composition proposal of traditional GPS receiver: first; Traditional design, active antenna and GPS radio frequency front end chip are two standalone modules, and the signal that the active antenna module is given the GPS RF front-end module is a radiofrequency signal; Need consider the connectivity problem of the two during design; The particularly impedance matching of input/output interface and cable, because cable is complicated with the characteristic that is connected special-purpose sub-miniature A connector, the special connection request between two modules; So coupling is difficult, increased the complexity of modular design.The second, the connecting line of the active antenna of traditional structure composition proposal and two modules of GPS radio frequency front end chip is longer relatively, makes the processing of radiofrequency signal and conduction can introduce extra noise.The 3rd, the impedance matching degree is low between active antenna and GPS radio-frequency front-end two radio-frequency modules, can bring signal attenuation bigger thus, and the overall noise index index of system is descended.The 4th, traditional active antenna is connected baseband processing chip with radio frequency front end chip through cable, and its signal that outputs to the GPS baseband processing chip is an analog signal, and the connection cable transmission is subject to disturb, so transmission range can not be very long.The 5th; Bad conductive performance causes GPS receiver system signal to noise ratio to descend between tradition active antenna and radio frequency front end chip and the baseband processing chip; The receiving sensitivity of GPS navigation positioning equipment is reduced, directly influence the primary positioning time (comprising cold start-up, required time of warm start) and the positioning accuracy of systematic function.The 6th, active antenna module and GPS radio frequency front end chip module alone become one separately, and extra chip area and the spaces that take are difficult for satisfying the miniaturization requirement more.
