Detailed Description
In order that the invention may be readily understood, a more particular description thereof will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments that are illustrated in the appended drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the composition of an rf circuit for miniaturized ODU transmission channels according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the radio frequency circuit for the miniaturized ODU transmission channel includes a mixer 1, where the mixer 1 includes an intermediate frequency input end 11 for inputting an intermediate frequency signal, a local oscillation input end 12 for inputting a local oscillation signal, and a radio frequency output end 13 for outputting a radio frequency signal after mixing, the radio frequency output end 13 is electrically connected to a radio frequency filter 2 for suppressing intermodulation clutter in the radio frequency signal, a subsequent stage of the radio frequency filter 2 is electrically connected to a radio frequency amplifier 3 for amplifying the radio frequency signal, and a subsequent stage of the radio frequency amplifier 3 is also electrically connected to a cavity filter 4 for performing out-of-band suppression on the radio frequency signal.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the rf filter includes a first stage rf filter 21 and a second stage rf filter 22. Preferably, the rf amplifier includes a first stage rf gain amplifier 31, a second stage rf gain amplifier 32, and an rf power amplifier 33.
After the rf output end of the mixer 1 is electrically connected to the first stage rf filter 21, the first stage rf gain amplifier 31, the second stage rf filter 22, the second stage rf gain amplifier 32 and the rf power amplifier 33 are sequentially connected.
Here, three stages of rf filtering are provided, where the first stage of rf filter 21 is disposed after the mixer 1, and functions to bandpass filter the rf signal obtained after mixing, suppress intermodulation products after mixing, and the second stage of rf filter 22 is disposed after the first rf gain amplifier 31, and mainly suppresses and filters clutter components caused by nonlinear distortion possibly generated by gain amplification, overcomes the change of frequency components caused by gain amplification, and suppresses the power increase of out-of-band signals caused by gain amplification synchronization. The purpose of the cavity filter 4 after the rf power amplifier 23 is to obtain a larger out-of-band rejection while minimizing the insertion loss. Preferably, the in-band insertion loss of the cavity filter is less than or equal to 0.5dB, and the first rf filter 21 and the second rf filter 22 are preferably microstrip filters, which each have an insertion loss of 6 dB.
Further, a matching attenuator 201 is connected in series between the rf output end of the mixer 1 and the first stage rf filter 21, a matching attenuator 202 is connected in series between the first stage rf filter 21 and the first stage rf gain amplifier 31, a matching attenuator 203 is connected in series between the first stage rf gain amplifier 31 and the second stage rf filter 22, and a matching attenuator 204 is connected in series between the second stage rf filter 22 and the second stage rf gain amplifier 32.
By arranging the matching attenuators, on one hand, the front and rear radio frequency devices can ensure mutual impedance matching in cascade connection, signal reverse backflow caused by impedance mismatch when radio frequency signals are transmitted in a channel is prevented, on the other hand, when the first-stage radio frequency gain amplifier and the second-stage radio frequency gain amplifier have limited requirements on the power of the input radio frequency signals, the power of the input radio frequency signals can be reduced through the attenuators, and because the gain amplifiers are saturated and generate nonlinear distortion when the power of the input signals is overlarge, the two-stage gain amplifiers are arranged, and the integrity of the signals can be ensured while the overall gain of the channel is met to meet design indexes. For example, if the overall gain of the two gain amplifiers is 40-50dB, if the gain of the first stage rf gain amplifier is too high to be 30dB, and the gain of the second stage rf gain amplifier is 20dB, the power of the rf signal output from the first stage rf gain amplifier may be relatively large, and when the rf signal is directly input to the second stage rf gain amplifier, the amplification saturation may be caused, so that the rf signal output from the second stage rf gain amplifier may be distorted. The power of the radio frequency signal input to the second-stage radio frequency gain amplifier can be reduced by adding the matched attenuator between the first-stage radio frequency gain amplifier and the second-stage radio frequency gain amplifier, so that the second-stage radio frequency gain amplifier can not work in a supersaturated state to distort the output radio frequency signal.
In addition, the radio frequency power amplifier 4 is arranged at a position relatively far back, on one hand, because the power of the radio frequency signal obtained by power amplification is larger, the current is increased, the power consumption is increased, the power output is also large, and the interference of the current power consumption on other circuits in the radio frequency can be avoided when the radio frequency power amplifier is arranged at the rear end, so that the electromagnetic compatibility of a radio frequency channel is enhanced. On the other hand, the method is also beneficial to directly outputting high-power radio frequency signals to the outside, avoiding the influence on a front-stage radio frequency circuit, and immediately generating mismatching of the external output, unreliable load connection and even no radio frequency load connection. Therefore, preferably, the radio frequency power amplifier further comprises a power supply protection circuit for protecting the power-on operation thereof.

The length of the right branch of the sixth microwave metal strip 236 is 1.6mm, the width is 0.22mm, the length of the left branch is 1.4mm, the width is 0.23mm, the upper connecting branch is divided into two sections, wherein the length of the first connecting section positioned at the left side is 0.63mm, the width is 0.23mm, the length of the second connecting section positioned at the right side is 0.62mm, and the width is 0.22mm; the length of the first port 238 is 1.05mm and the width is 0.25mm, and the distance from the upper edge of the first port 238 to the upper edge of the first connecting section of the upper connecting branch is 0.54mm.

Including mixer 1, first stage rf filter 21, first stage rf gain amplifier 31, second stage rf filter 22, second stage rf gain amplifier 32 and rf power amplifier 33, and cavity filter 4.

The spatial arrangement of the rf circuit shown in fig. 4 makes the entire rf circuit path exhibit an inverted-L configuration, which accommodates the miniaturization design requirements and maximizes the length of the rf circuit in a limited space. And furthermore, the metal walls are arranged on two sides of the radio frequency circuit channel, so that the radio frequency power amplifier is connected from the frequency mixer, and the radio frequency power amplifier comprises the second microstrip line W2 which is arranged in a continuous and independent metal cavity, so that the whole radio frequency circuit is shielded by the metal cavity and cannot be disturbed by external electromagnetic interference signals.
The following fig. 5 to 7 will explain in detail the enlarged views of the respective constituent parts in fig. 4.
As shown in fig. 5, the mixer includes a chip NC17104C-620, wherein the local oscillator input (LO side in the drawing) of the chip is electrically connected to the output 101 of the local oscillator filter through a gold band JD 1.

Preferably, the diameter of the gold wire is 25um, the width of the gold belt is 75um, and the gold wire and the gold belt are electrically connected in the radio frequency circuit, so that the conductivity of radio frequency signals can be improved, the transmission loss can be reduced, and the radio frequency characteristics of the radio frequency channel circuit can be guaranteed while the cost can be increased.

In addition, the chip TGA2533 is connected with the capacitors through the gold wires and the gold belts, and the capacitors are also connected through the gold wires and the gold wires, so that the radio frequency conductivity of the chip electrically connected with the capacitors can be enhanced, and the radio frequency characteristic of power amplification is ensured.
In combination with the above circuit composition, the chip CH3666 is selected as the gain amplifier, because the power of the obtained rf signal is about-20 dBm after passing through the mixer, the matching attenuator and the first stage rf microstrip filter, and the power of the rf signal reaching the cavity filter finally is about 25dBm, and here, the power amplification of the rf channel of 45dB is required. The gain value of the chip CH3666 is 20dB, the 1dB compression point (P1 dB) of the output power is 15dBm at minimum, so after CH3666 is used as a first-stage gain amplifier, the output is 0dBm for the radio frequency input signal of-20 dBm, which is far smaller than 15dBm corresponding to the 1dB compression point, and when the power of the radio frequency signal reaches the second-stage radio frequency gain amplifier chip CH3666 after the first-stage gain amplifier, which is about-10 dBm, wherein the second-stage radio frequency filter is a microstrip filter, has 6dB channel attenuation, and two matched attenuators are respectively provided with 3dB channel attenuation, so after the radio frequency signal passes through the second-stage radio frequency gain amplifier chip CH3666, the output radio frequency signal power is 10dBm, which is still smaller than 15 m corresponding to the 1dB compression point, and the integrity and the good dBm of the radio frequency signal are still ensured. However, if the first-stage gain amplification is used at this time, that is, the third-stage gain amplification is implemented by using the chip CH3666, since the input power is 10dBm, when the gain of 20dB is present, the output is 30dBm, which obviously exceeds 15dBm corresponding to the 1dB compression point, and signal distortion is obviously caused. Therefore, the rf power amplifier chip TGA2533 is selected, the 1dB compression point of the output power of the chip corresponds to 34dBm, the corresponding output power should not be greater than the value, and the amplification gain of the chip has a range of 24-28dB, so when the rf signal with 10dBm power is output by the second stage rf gain amplifier chip CH3666, the rf signal can be directly input to the rf power amplifier chip TGA2533 for power amplification, and the output rf signal power is 34-38dBm, wherein 34dBm is exactly 1dB compression point of the output power of the chip, so that the maximum output rf signal power can be satisfied, and good signal integrity can be maintained.
In addition, the two-stage radio frequency filters are microstrip filters with the same structure, the first radio frequency filter is used for carrying out band-pass filtering on radio frequency signals obtained after mixing and restraining intermodulation products after mixing, and the second radio frequency filter is arranged behind the first radio frequency gain amplifier and mainly used for carrying out restraining filtering on clutter components caused by nonlinear distortion possibly generated by gain amplification, overcoming the change of frequency components caused by gain amplification and restraining the power increase of out-of-band signals caused by gain amplification synchronization. The purpose of setting the cavity filter after the radio frequency power amplifier is to reduce the insertion loss as much as possible, so as to obtain larger out-of-band rejection. Preferably, the in-band insertion loss of the cavity filter is less than or equal to 0.5dB, which is obviously less than the insertion loss of 6dB of the microstrip filter, and the out-of-band rejection is as follows: the out-of-band rejection ratio was 50dB in the range of 10.95GHz-12.75GHz, and the out-of-band rejection ratio was 30dB at 14.7 GHz. Further preferably, the size of the cavity filter is 50mm multiplied by 13.5mm multiplied by 8.73mm, the band pass is 13.75GHz-14.5GHz, the in-band insertion loss is less than or equal to 0.5dB, and the in-band fluctuation is less than or equal to +/-0.2 dB.
Further, it can be seen in FIG. 7 that powering the chip TGA2533 includes two voltages of 6V and-0.55V, and that it is also desirable to power protect the two voltages from a single voltage acting on the TGA2533.
As shown in fig. 8, a negative voltage circuit is shown, which includes a chip LTC1983ES6-5 and a chip AD8615AUJZ, and the regulated 5V voltage is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the chip LTC1983ES6-5 through series inductors L15 and L14. The power end is also electrically connected with the bypass capacitor C82 and grounded, and the voltage output end of the chip is connected with the chip AD8615AUJZ through a voltage division network. Specifically, the voltage output end of the chip LTC1983ES6-5 is connected in series with the resistor R35 and then connected to the 3 rd pin of the chip AD8615AUJZ, the pin is also electrically connected with the other resistor R36, the other end of the resistor R36 is grounded, and the voltage output end of the chip LTC1983ES6-5 is also directly electrically connected with the 2 nd pin of the chip AD8615AUJZ. The 1 st and 4 th pins of the chip AD8615AUJZ are electrically connected, and the 4 th pin is also connected with bypass capacitors C86 and C85, c85=0.1 uf, c86=1 nF as a voltage output pin. The 4 th pin output voltage is the negative polarity voltage output to the radio frequency power amplifier. The chip AD8615AUJZ outputs a negative polarity voltage, which is-0.55V.
Further, as shown in fig. 9, the 6V voltage output protection circuit comprises a triode MMBT3904 and a PMOS tube IRF7210PBF, the voltage stabilizing 5V is connected in series with a resistor R34 and then is electrically connected with the base electrode of the triode MMBT3904, the emitter electrode of the triode MMBT3904 is grounded, the collector electrode is connected in series with a first voltage dividing resistor R31 and a second voltage dividing resistor R30, the gate electrode of the PMOS tube IRF7210PBF is electrically connected between the first voltage dividing resistor R31 and the second voltage dividing resistor R30, the other end of the second voltage dividing resistor R30 is electrically connected with the source electrode of the PMOS tube IRF7210PBF, the voltage stabilizing 6V is also electrically connected with the source electrode of the PMOS tube IRF7210PBF, and the drain electrode of the PMOS tube IRF7210PBF is electrically connected with the positive electrode terminal of the power supply of the radio frequency power amplifier.
Preferably, the resistance values of the first voltage dividing resistor and the second voltage dividing resistor are 50kΩ. When the voltage stabilizing 5V is normal, the triode MMBT3904 is conducted, the voltage stabilizing 6V generates a pressure difference between the grid electrode G and the source electrode S of the PMOS tube IRF7210PBF through the first voltage dividing resistor R30 and the second voltage dividing resistor R31, so that the voltage stabilizing 6V is conducted to the drain electrode D, the voltage is further output to the radio frequency power amplifier, if the voltage stabilizing 5V is not added, the triode MMBT3904 is not conducted, the voltage dividing resistor 31 does not work, no pressure difference exists between the grid electrode G and the source electrode S, the PMOS tube IRF7210PBF is not conducted, and the drain electrode D cannot output the voltage stabilizing 6V.
In addition, the radio frequency power amplifier is TGA2533, and the chip needs two polarities of power supplies for supplying power, namely 6V and-0.55V.
It can be further seen that the negative voltage-0.55V of the bipolar power supply to the rf power amplifier chip TGA2533 is obtained by converting voltage of the stabilized voltage 5V through the chip LTC1983ES6-5 and the chip AD8615AUJZ and dividing the voltage, the negative voltage is not generated under the condition that no voltage of the stabilized voltage 5V is applied, and meanwhile, the stabilized voltage 6V for supplying power to the chip TGA2533 is not applied to the chip due to the action of the 6V voltage output protection circuit, thereby ensuring the synchronous protection characteristic of bipolar power supply to the rf power amplifier chip TGA2533.
