Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with the attached drawing in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present disclosure is carried out clear, complete Site preparation description, it is clear that described embodiment is disclosure a part of the embodiment, instead of all the embodiments.
Typical coupler believes the radio frequency that the power divider of the radiofrequency signal of input is two output according to predetermined ratio Number, such as output signal and coupled signal.The power of the radiofrequency signal of two-way output can be with the power of the radiofrequency signal of input Variation.What the performance of coupler was usually fixed.Coupler is used to separate a part from radiofrequency signal to carry out signal detection, To monitor the performances such as signal frequency, the power of the radiofrequency signal that input.But electronic module locating for coupler or electronic equipment Working condition may be variation.When the variation due to working condition is without using the coupled signal exported from coupler When, which may interfere the other signals in electronic module or electronic equipment.Moreover, exported from coupler Coupled signal is likely to be used for different purposes.
In the coupling device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, switching device is arranged by the coupled end in coupled apparatus, and utilize The switching device controls the transmission channel of exported coupled signal, can reduce the radiofrequency signal separated from coupling device Influence to other devices, to improve the applicability of coupling device.
Fig. 1 is to schematically illustrate the structural block diagram of the first coupling device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.First coupling It attaches together and sets 100 and can be applied to various electronic equipments, including but not limited to communication equipment, electrical equipment, power supply unit etc..
As shown in Figure 1, first coupling device 100 includes: coupled apparatus 110, including input terminal IN, output end OUT and Coupled end COUP, the input signal for will enter into the input terminal are divided into output signal and coupled signal, and from described Output end OUT exports the output signal, exports the coupled signal from the coupled end COUP;With switching device 120, coupling To the coupled end COUP of the coupled apparatus, for switching the transmission channel from the coupled end COUP coupled signal exported.
As shown in Figure 1, coupled apparatus 110 includes input terminal IN, output end OUT and these three ports coupled end COUP.When It when input signal is inputted from input terminal IN, is exported from output end OUT, has a small amount of output in coupled end 3.
Coupled apparatus 110 is the radio-frequency devices that sub-fraction signal is extracted from radiofrequency signal trunk channel.Ideal coupling The sum of the power of the power of the input terminal IN of the clutch power equal to output end OUT and coupled end COUP.The weight of coupled apparatus 110 Wanting parameter is the degree of coupling and Insertion Loss.The degree of coupling is the power ratio with input terminal IN of the power of output end OUT, is indicated with dB Words, usually negative value.The Insertion Loss of coupled apparatus 110 is the power ratio of input terminal IN Yu output end OUT.The absolute value of the degree of coupling Bigger, the absolute value of Insertion Loss is smaller.After coupled apparatus has been produced, what the degree of coupling and Insertion Loss were usually fixed.However, As previously mentioned, when the variation of the working condition for the electronic equipment that coupled apparatus is applied to, it may be necessary to adjust from coupler The coupled signal of coupled end output.Otherwise, the coupled signal may cause interference.
Coupled apparatus 110 can be directional coupler, waveguide coupler, double branch couplers etc., and the type of coupler is not Constitute the limitation to the embodiment of the present disclosure.Fig. 2 schematically shows the structure of directional coupler.There are four ends for directional coupler tool Mouthful, port 1, port 2, port 3, the port 4 marked such as Fig. 2.When port 1 is used as input terminal IN to receive input signal, Port 2 is output end OUT, and port 3 is coupled end COUP, and port 4 is isolation end.For ideal directional coupler, work as input When signal is inputted from port 1, major part is exported from port 2, has a small amount of output in port 3, port 4 is without output.In general, fixed To between the input terminal IN and isolation end of coupler have good isolation.In addition, the structure of directional coupler has symmetrically Property, such as input terminal IN and isolation end can be interchanged.When input signal is inputted from port 4 (i.e. input terminal IN) shown in Fig. 2, The most of of input signal exports from port 3 (i.e. output end OUT), does not export in input terminal 1 (i.e. isolation end), and is holding There is a small amount of output in 2 (i.e. coupled end COUP) of mouth.

The operating mode includes the high power mode for being wherein greater than predetermined value into the power of the input signal of input terminal. When the power of the input signal into input terminal IN is very big, the power of the coupled signal exported from coupled end COUP is also larger. If the coupled end COUP is also connected to the power detector of the second transmission channel PATH2, the coupled signal may be through It crosses the power detector and is crosstalked into clock circuit, to be interfered to clock signal.As an example, being set in the electronics Standby is in the communication equipment of such as mobile phone, and the high power mode can be the global system for mobile communications (GSM) of communication equipment Mode.Correspondingly, control unit 130 controls switching device 120 and coupled end COUP is connected to the first transmission channel PATH1, can Interference to avoid the coupled signal exported from coupled end COUP to other signals.The control unit 130 typically can use Processor and memory are realized.The memory storage control program code, when the processor executes said program code When switching device 120 is controlled.
As shown in figure 4, described control unit 130 can include: detection module 131, for whether detecting the communication equipment In high power mode (for example, GSM mode);Control module 132 is used for when the communication equipment is in high power mode, It controls the switching device 120 and the coupled end COUP is connected to the first transmission channel PATH1, and in the communication equipment When being not at high power mode, the switching device 120 is controlled by the coupled end COUP and is connected to the second transmission channel PATH2.Detection module 131 for example obtains the information about its operating mode from the operating system of communication equipment, to determine communication Whether equipment is in high power mode.
When the transmission channel difference that switching device 120 is connected to, the detection module needs to detect different information, To execute control according to control information detected by control module 132.For example, being connected to electricity in the first transmission channel PATH1 In the case where test device, the second transmission channel PATH2 of sub- equipment are connected to the power detector in electronic equipment, mould is detected It is in test pattern or normal mode of operation that block 131, which can detecte electronic equipment,.When detection module 131 detects that electronics is set When for being in test pattern, control module 132 controls switching device 120 and is connected to the first transmission channel PATH1.Work as detection module 131 when detecting that electronic equipment is in normal mode of operation, and control module 132 controls switching device 120 and is connected to the second transmission Access PATH2.
