That is, the processor or the terminal device may implement the tuning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention by running the software program in the android operating system.
The tuning method according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to a tuning method flowchart shown in fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a schematic tuning method flowchart provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and includes steps 201 to 203:
step 201: the terminal device determines the current tuning scenario.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the tuning scenario includes any one of the following scenarios or a combination scenario of the following scenarios: a weak received signal scenario (that is, the signal quality of the received signal of the terminal device is less than or equal to a first threshold), a strong received signal scenario (that is, the signal quality of the received signal is greater than or equal to a second threshold), a high-rate data transmission scenario (that is, a scenario in which high-order modulation is required when a plurality of applications in the terminal device need to transmit a large amount of data at present), and the like.
Step 202: and the terminal equipment acquires the target index parameters of the target device of the terminal equipment matched with the tuning scene.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the target devices include, but are not limited to: the present invention relates to a radio frequency circuit, a power amplifier and a low noise amplifier in the radio frequency circuit, and generally, all radio frequency communication circuits use the tuning method provided by the present invention, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the index parameters of the target device include, but are not limited to: an output power of the target device, an input current of the target device, an Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) value of the target device, and an output voltage of the target device. Further, in the case that the target device is a PA, the index parameters of the PA further include: in the case where the target device is a low noise amplifier, the PA gain index parameters further include: gain of the low noise amplifier.
Step 203: and the terminal equipment adjusts the target impedance according to the target impedance value corresponding to the target index parameter.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, for the transmitting circuit, in a case that the target device is a radio frequency circuit, correspondingly, the target impedance is an antenna; alternatively, in the case where the target device is a power amplifier in a radio frequency circuit, the target impedance is a load impedance of the power amplifier.
Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, before step 202, the method further includes:
step 202 a: and the terminal equipment carries out load traction (loadpull) on the target device to obtain a first mapping relation.
Wherein, the first mapping relation is: the index parameter of the target device and the impedance value of the target impedance.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the first mapping relationship may be represented by a load pulling curve on a smith chart.
In an example, in a case where the target device is a radio frequency circuit and the target impedance is an antenna impedance, the first mapping relationship is a corresponding relationship between an index parameter of the radio frequency circuit and an impedance value of the antenna impedance. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the characteristics of the radio frequency circuit in various environments are measured by performing loadpull on the radio frequency circuit, that is, different index parameters of the radio frequency circuit change with the change of the antenna impedance.
In an example, when the target device is PA and the target impedance is a load impedance of PA, the first mapping relationship is a corresponding relationship between an index parameter of PA and an impedance value of the load impedance of PA.
Based on the above step 202a, before the step 203, the method further includes the following steps:
step 203 a: and the terminal equipment takes the impedance value corresponding to the target index parameter as a target impedance value according to the first mapping relation.
Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in a tuning scenario where the signal quality of the received signal of the terminal device is less than or equal to the first threshold, if the target device is a radio frequency circuit and the target impedance is an antenna impedance, the target index parameter is a maximum output power of the radio frequency circuit, and if the target device is a power amplifier and the target impedance is a load impedance of the power amplifier, the target index parameter is a maximum gain or a maximum output power of the power amplifier; and/or, under the tuning scene that the signal quality of the received signal of the terminal equipment is greater than or equal to a second threshold, the target index parameter is the minimum input current of the target device; and/or, in the tuning scene of high-order modulation, the target index parameter is the maximum EVM value of the target device.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, for the receiving circuit, in a case that the target device is a low noise amplifier, correspondingly, the target impedance is a source impedance of the low noise amplifier.
Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, before step 202, the method further includes:
step 202 b: and the terminal equipment carries out source pulling (sourcepull) on the low noise amplifier to obtain a second mapping relation.
The second mapping relationship is a corresponding relationship between the index parameter of the low noise amplifier and the impedance value of the source impedance of the low noise amplifier. Illustratively, the embodiment of the invention measures the characteristics of the low noise amplifier under various environments by conducting sourcepul on the low noise amplifier, namely, different index parameters of the low noise amplifier change along with the change of the source impedance of the low noise amplifier.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the second mapping relationship may be represented by a source pulling curve on a smith chart.
Based on the above step 202b, before the step 203, the method further includes the following steps:
step 203 b: and the terminal equipment takes the impedance value corresponding to the target index parameter as a target impedance value according to the second mapping relation.
Further optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, in a tuning scenario where the signal quality of the received signal of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the second threshold or the high-order modulation, the target indicator parameter is a predetermined noise coefficient, that is, an optimal noise coefficient, of the low noise amplifier, where intrinsic noise of the low noise amplifier under the predetermined noise coefficient is smaller than a third threshold; and/or, in a tuning scene that the signal quality of the received signal of the terminal equipment is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the target index parameter is the minimum input current of the low noise amplifier.
According to the tuning method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the target index parameter of the target device of the terminal equipment matched with the current tuning scene is obtained, and then the target impedance is adjusted based on the target impedance value corresponding to the target index parameter, so that the terminal equipment can adaptively adjust the target impedance (namely the impedance to be tuned) according to the index parameter required by different tuning scenes, and thus the optimal performance is provided for the impedance to be tuned under different tuning scenes.
For example, the target device is taken as a radio frequency circuit, and the target impedance is taken as an antenna impedance:
example 1: if the terminal device is currently in a weak received signal scene, because the antenna needs to output a large power, the index parameter of the radio frequency circuit matched with the weak received signal scene is the maximum output power of the radio frequency circuit, at this time, the impedance value of the antenna impedance needs to be adjusted to a target impedance value corresponding to the maximum output power, that is, the antenna impedance needs to be tuned to the maximum output power of a load pulling curve of the radio frequency circuit on the smith chart, so that the reliability of communication is ensured.
Example 2: if the terminal device is currently in a strong received signal scenario, and if the terminal device has a low requirement for the communication rate, the index parameter of the radio frequency circuit matched with the strong received signal scenario may be the minimum input current of the radio frequency circuit, and at this time, the impedance value of the antenna impedance needs to be adjusted to the target impedance value corresponding to the minimum input current, that is, the antenna impedance needs to be tuned to the minimum input current (i.e., the minimum power consumption) of the load pulling curve of the radio frequency circuit on the smith chart, so as to achieve the purpose of saving power.
Example 3: if the terminal device is currently in a high-rate data transmission scenario, that is, a large amount of data needs to be transmitted by multiple applications in the terminal device, high-order modulation needs to be used, and at this time, the radio frequency circuit needs to output a signal with higher signal quality, so that the index parameter of the radio frequency circuit matched with the high-rate data transmission scenario may be a maximum EVM value of the radio frequency circuit, that is, an impedance value of the antenna impedance is adjusted to a target impedance value corresponding to the maximum EVM value, that is, the antenna impedance is tuned to a maximum EVM value (that is, an optimal signal quality point) of a load pulling curve of the radio frequency circuit on the smith chart, thereby satisfying high-rate uplink transmission.
Example 4: if the terminal device is currently located in a combination environment formed by combining multiple scenes, current multiple requirements can be weighed (for example, priorities of transmission rate, coverage range, power consumption and the like are weighed), compromise antenna impedance is selected, index parameters corresponding to the multiple requirements can be determined, and antenna impedance is comprehensively adjusted based on target impedance values corresponding to the multiple index parameters.
In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal equipment changes the antenna tuning from the original single impedance matching adjustment to the tuning mode based on the current tuning scene and the loadpull characteristic of the radio frequency circuit, the tuning mode is more flexible, and the matching problem of the radio frequency circuit and the antenna can be better solved, for example, the terminal equipment is more power-saving in a strong received signal scene, has a wider coverage range in a weak received signal scene and has a lower error rate in large data transmission than the original one.
For example, a load impedance with a target device PA and a target impedance PA is taken as an example for explanation:
example 5: if the terminal device is currently in a weak received signal scene, based on using low-order modulation, and requires the terminal device to transmit at the maximum power, the corresponding PA is required to output a larger power, and therefore, the index parameter of the PA matched with the weak received signal scene is the maximum output power or the maximum gain of the PA, at this time, the impedance value of the antenna needs to be adjusted to a target impedance value corresponding to the maximum output power or the maximum gain, that is, the load impedance of the PA is tuned to the maximum output power or the maximum gain of the load pulling curve of the PA on the smith chart, so as to ensure the coverage of communication.
Example 6: if the terminal device is currently in a strong received signal scenario, and the PA does not need too much output power, then the index parameter of the PA matched with the strong received signal scenario may be the minimum input current of the PA, and at this time, the load impedance value of the PA needs to be adjusted to the target impedance value corresponding to the minimum input current, that is, the load impedance of the PA is tuned to the minimum input current (i.e., the minimum power consumption position) of the load pulling curve of the PA on the smith chart, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power.
Example 7: if the terminal device is currently in a high-rate data transmission scenario, that is, a transmitter of the terminal device currently employs high-order modulation, at this time, the PA needs to have the best linearity, that is, a radio frequency signal needs to have a better EVM, so that the index parameter of the PA matched with the high-rate data transmission scenario may be a maximum EVM value of the PA, that is, the PA load impedance value is adjusted to a target impedance value corresponding to the maximum EVM value, that is, the PA load impedance is tuned to a maximum EVM value (that is, an optimal linearity) of a load pulling curve of the PA on the smith chart, thereby ensuring better signal quality.
Example 8: if the terminal device is currently located in a combination environment formed by combining multiple scenes, current multiple requirements can be weighed (for example, priority levels of transmission rate, phase rate, linearity and the like are weighed), compromise PA load impedance is selected, index parameters corresponding to the multiple requirements can be determined, and the PA load impedance is comprehensively adjusted based on target impedance values corresponding to the multiple index parameters.
In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal device adjusts the load impedance of the PA according to the current tuning scene and the loadpull characteristic of the PA, and compared with the existing ET mode power supply mode, the adjusting mode has no complex power supply structure, does not have radio frequency interference caused by ET, and has little requirement on the PA load, for example, low-order modulation is more power-saving than an APT mode, high-order modulation is better in linearity than the APT mode, and has more flexible adaptability than a fixed PA load.
For example, the target device is a low noise amplifier, and the target impedance is a source impedance of the low noise amplifier.
Example 9: if the terminal device is currently in a strong received signal scenario or in a high-rate data transmission scenario, high-order modulation needs to be used, and at this time, the receiving circuit needs to reduce noise as much as possible, then the index parameter of the low-noise amplifier matched with the scenario may be the optimal noise coefficient (i.e., the predetermined noise coefficient in the foregoing) of the low-noise amplifier, so as to ensure better signal quality.
Example 10: if the terminal device is currently in a weak received signal scene, the index parameter of the low noise amplifier matched with the scene can be the minimum input current (namely the minimum power consumption position) of the low noise amplifier, so that the purpose of saving power is achieved.
In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal equipment adjusts the source impedance of the low-noise amplifier according to the current tuning scene and the sourcepull characteristic of the low-noise amplifier, and the adjusting mode has no complex power supply structure and more flexible adaptive capacity.
