Specifically, the radio frequency circuit debugging apparatus first establishes a simulation circuit through simulation software, and then simulates the matching circuit between the switch and the first filter through the simulation circuit and the target scattering parameter obtained through simulation in step 202, so as to obtain the matching parameter of the matching circuit.
It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, the circuit parameter of the path routing from the first filter to the first antenna extracted through the PCB is firstly passed, and then the matching circuit between the switch module and the first antenna is simulated through the circuit parameter and the simulation software. Therefore, the debugging method provided by the embodiment of the application is flexible to operate, the matching of the public end of the switch module can be accurately simulated only by reasonable modeling, and the simulation efficiency is improved.
In an implementation manner of the present application, the specific implementation manner of step 202 is as follows:
the radio frequency circuit debugging device establishes a first two-port network model through simulation software, wherein a first port of the first two-port network model is used as an output end of the first filter, and a second port of the first two-port network model is used as the first antenna end; and the radio frequency circuit debugging device leads the circuit parameters into the first two-port network model, and simulates the output end of the first filter to obtain the target scattering parameters of the output end of the first filter.

And the circuit parameters of the switch module are used as the circuit parameters of the switch module model, and the circuit parameters of the device model are used as the circuit parameters of the device model. It can be seen that, in the second two-port network model, when the circuit parameters of the switch module model are known, the circuit parameters of the device model are known, and the impedance values of the two ports are also known, the values of the matching network model are adjusted so that S11, S21, and S22 of the second two-port network are optimized, that is, S11 is the most convergent, S21 has the least differential loss, and S22 is the closest to 75 ohms, so that the first matching parameters of the matching circuit between the switch module and the first antenna can be simulated.
