Step 203: and the radio frequency circuit debugging device simulates through the simulation software and the target scattering parameter to obtain a first matching parameter of a matching circuit between the selector switch and the first filter.
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 is extracted through the PCB, and then the matching circuit between the switch and the first filter 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 change-over switch 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 a terminal, far away from the switch, of the first filter, and a second port of the first two-port network model is used as a first antenna terminal; and the radio frequency circuit debugging device leads the circuit parameters into the first two-port network model, simulates the end, close to the switch, of the first filter, and obtains target scattering parameters, far away from the switch, of the first filter.

the radio frequency circuit debugging device establishes a second port network model through the simulation software, a third port of the second port network model is sequentially connected with a selector switch model, a matching circuit model, a first filter model and a fourth port of the second port network model, and an impedance value of the fourth port is associated with the target scattering parameter; and the radio frequency circuit debugging device simulates the matching circuit model to realize impedance matching and obtain a first matching parameter of the matching circuit between the selector switch and the first filter.
Further, the impedance value of the fourth port refers to the impedance value of the resistor at the fourth port, which is equal to a solution of the conjugate of the scattering parameter of the target.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the second two-port network model includes a resistor at each of the third port and the fourth port, the impedance value of the resistor at the third port is equal to 50 ohms, and the impedance value of the resistor at the fourth port is equal to a solution of a conjugate of the target scattering parameter. The extracted circuit parameters of the change-over switch are used as the circuit parameters of the change-over switch model, and the extracted circuit parameters of the first filter are used as the circuit parameters of the first filter model. It can be seen that, in the second two-port network model, when the circuit parameters of the switch model are known, the circuit parameters of the first filter 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 most convergent, S21 has least differential loss, and S22 is closest to 50 ohms, so that the first matching parameters of the matching circuit between the switch and the first filter can be simulated.
It should be noted that the first two-port network model is not limited to the structure shown in fig. 4, and the structure shown in fig. 4 is only one example provided in this application.

welding the matching circuit with the first matching parameters to the PCB by the radio frequency circuit debugging device for actual test to obtain a test result; and the radio frequency circuit debugging device carries out fine adjustment on the basis of the first matching parameters according to the test result to obtain second matching parameters of the matching circuit model.
Specifically, the test step tests scattering parameters such as S11, S12, S21, and S22 for the switch to the first filter, and the test results obtained by the test step include values for S11, S12, S21, and S22 for the switch to the first filter.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, after the matching parameters of the matching circuit are simulated through the simulation software, the matching circuit with the matching parameters is welded on the PCB for actual test to obtain a test result, and then fine tuning is performed based on the test result, so that more accurate matching parameters can be obtained, and the simulation accuracy is further improved.
