The baseband processing chip 607 outputs the operating current I2And an operating current I1Comparing to determine the working current I1Greater than the operating current I2The baseband processing chip 607 determines whether or not the switching period (ideally 5 seconds) of the main antenna 601 and the diversity antenna 602 has arrived, and if the switching period has arrived, the baseband processing chip 607 switches the main antenna 601 and the diversity antenna 602 to the connection mode 1.
In the present embodiment, if the operating current I2Greater than the operating current I1Then baseband processing chip 607 switches primary set antenna 601 and diversity antenna 602 directly to connection 1 mode without switching primary set antenna 601 and diversity antenna 602 according to the switching period.
Those skilled in the art can change the technical contents of the present embodiment according to the disclosure of the present embodiment. For example, the baseband processing chip 607 outputs a switch control signal to turn on the rf switches 604 and 605 according to the 2 nd connection mode of the built-in main set antenna 601 and the diversity antenna 602, so that the diversity antenna 602 is connected to the main set receiving path 609 and the main set transmitting path 610 through the rf switch 605 and the duplexer 608; the main set antenna 601 is connected to a diversity receive path 611 through a radio frequency switch 604.
When the wireless performance of the diversity antenna 602 deteriorates, the power amplifier 613 increases the transmission power of the handset transmission signal, so that the operating current of the power amplifier 613 also increases.
The baseband processing chip 607 detects the operating current I of the power amplifier 6133The baseband processing chip 607 outputs the operating current I of the power amplifier 613 to 500mA3500mA and a reference working current Iref2Comparing with 450mA to judge I3Is greater than Iref2The baseband processing chip 607 outputs a switch control signal to the rf switch 603 and 606, turns off the rf switches 604 and 605, and turns on the rf switches 603 and 606, so that the main set antenna 601 and the diversity antenna 602 are switched to the 1 st connection mode, that is, the main set antenna 601 is connected to the main set receiving path 609 and the main set transmitting path 610 through the rf switch 603 and the duplexer 608; diversity antenna 602 is connected to diversity receive path 611 through radio frequency switch 606.
The power amplifier 613 detected by the baseband processing chip 607 has an operating current I in the 1 st connection mode4Is 430 mA. The baseband processing chip 607 outputs the operating current I3And an operating current I4Comparing to determine the working current I3Greater than the operating current I4Then the baseband processing chip 607 causes the main set antenna 601 and the diversity antenna 602 to operate in connection 1 mode.
The rf switches 603-606 in this embodiment can also be implemented by two single-pole double-throw three-terminal rf switches, wherein one port of one three-terminal rf switch is connected to the duplexer, and two outer ports are respectively connected to the main antenna 601 and the diversity antenna 602; one port of the other three-terminal radio frequency switch is connected with a diversity receiving path, and the two outer ports are respectively connected with a main set antenna 601 and a diversity antenna 602. The baseband processing chip 607 can respectively realize the 1 st connection mode and the 2 nd connection mode by outputting the rf switch control signal.
The method has the advantages that the working current of the power amplifier is detected, the better antenna is selected as the antenna of the main set receiving and transmitting path, the wireless performance of the main set transmitting path of the terminal is improved, the output power and the working current of the power amplifier in the main set transmitting path are reduced, the power consumption of the wireless terminal is reduced, and the service life of a battery of the wireless terminal is prolonged.
The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications that can be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention should fall within the protection scope of the invention.
