Background technology
MIMO representes multiple-input and multiple-output.In the 4th third-generation mobile communication technical standard, extensively adopted IEEE 802.16e (Wimax) for example, Long Term Evolution (LTE).In new generation of wireless local area network (LAN) (WLAN) standard, be generally used for IEEE802.11n, but also can be used for other 802.11 technology.MIMO is known as space diversity sometimes, because it uses multiple spatial channel to transmit and receives data, could dispose MIMO when having only website (mobile device) or access point (AP) to support MIMO.
Cable Wi-Fi is the radiofrequency signal of Wi-Fi through existing C ATV cable television system; Through the mixer and the splitter low-loss ground of special use, height arrives different coaxial cable the insides with CATV signal mixed allocation isolator, is transferred to low-loss in user's the room; Realize the green in the room; High-quality WLAN signal covers, and reliable and real operable fast wireless network are provided, and Cable Wi-Fi system makes the MIMO technology of 802.11n wireless network utilize with succeeding.
Through retrieval to prior art, technology that radiofrequency signal and CATV signal are mixed and divide equally has appearred, and for example Chinese publication application number is 200820057754, and denomination of invention is " based on the CATV integrated access system of Wi-Fi technology "; China's publication application number 201020695164; Denomination of invention is " broadband network system of a kind of hyperfrequency " etc.; The basic structure of the circuit of above-mentioned publication radiofrequency signal and CATV signal is as shown in Figure 1; The AP that has the broadband internet interface is installed in the light current well, after closing the CATV signal mixing after distributor amplifies the CATV amplifier, is divided into several paths again, be transferred in the resident family through original coaxial cable again; What transmit in the cable from branch's mixer to resident family is the radiofrequency signal of 5MHz-1GHz and 2.4-2.5GHz; In this section transmission channel, if having the parts that the parts such as distributor or amplifier of low-frequency range just need be replaced by wideband 5MHz-2.5GHz, otherwise the Wi-Fi signal just produces decay very seriously.When broadband signal has arrived in the resident family; In general most family all has parlor and several bedroom; The CATV distributor of originally necessarily being furnished with low frequency; In the engineering of transforming, must be replaced with the 5MHz-2.5GHz wide-frequency distributor to the CATV distributor of low frequency, last step is to be replaced with the C&Wi-Fi Terminal panel that inside has specialized circuitry to the panel of inserting television set on resident's wall; The CATV signal just can be separated with the Wi-Fi signal effectively like this, and is distributed to each room equably.The synthetic distributor schematic diagram of prior art is as shown in Figure 2; Schematic diagram by Fig. 2 can be found out; What this scheme adopted is to close the road to Wi-Fi and CATV signal earlier; Separate with one minute eight wideband splitter then, close the road earlier, and then carry out shunt with the wideband splitter and this prior art adopts.Wide-frequency distributor will be done decay get off with being difficult to from 5M to 2.5G.Though mixer is less than 1DB, eight distributor Insertion Loss are greater than more than the 15DB, and flatness is difficult to meet the demands, and the workload of producing debugging is also big a lot.The wideband splitter of mixer and one minute eight is owing to adopt and be fit to realizing like lumped parameter devices such as magnet rings of low-frequency channel; Cause for the Wi-Fi signal that works in 2.4GHZ; Decay is just big in the extreme; Product performance index just is difficult to satisfy instructions for use, and Wi-Fi signal and the mutual isolation of CATV signal are also poor.
The main at present problem that exists of Cable&Wi-Fi system: to existing C ATV network, the branching ratio of coaxial cable is more, and the long Wi-Fi signal attenuation to 2.4GHZ of cable is bigger; As client cellphone subscriber particularly, as the iPHONE cellphone subscriber, in design owing to consider the life-span of battery and to health effects; The Wi-Fi signal is far smaller than the transmission power level of AP; Actual emission power is less than 1/10 of AP, and when the Wi-Fi signal of mobile phone emission passed back to AP through catv network, signal had been attenuated very faintly; Basically be submerged in the noise the inside; Because wireless network is when receiving and dispatching the transmission data, the speed of data is directly proportional with the signal to noise ratio of transmitting-receiving two-end and is listed as relation, under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio, is difficult to realize high speed communication like this.So improve the received signal to noise ratio of AP and client simultaneously and be the subject matter that present Cable&Wi-Fi system need solve.The problem of second needs solution is: the problem that Wi-Fi signal and CATV signal are isolated each other.
By on can know the construction of Cable&Wi-Fi system, what at first need solve is the low-loss of Wi-Fi signal, height is incorporated into the coaxial cable the inside to CATV signal and Wi-Fi isolator.
