Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radio frequency circuit protection, in particular to a radio frequency protection circuit for resisting pulse wave breakdown and continuous wave burnout.
Background
The front end of the wideband receiver is usually provided with a radio frequency circuit consisting of a low noise amplifier, a mixer and an intermediate frequency amplifier, when a high-power interference signal exists near the receiver or the receiver participates in electronic countermeasure, the device breakdown and even burnout can be caused, so that the receiver is disabled, and the improvement of the protection capability of the receiver plays an important role in the design of the receiver. The conventional radio frequency protection circuits are divided into two types, a protection circuit using a single limiter and a protection circuit using a plurality of limiters.
As shown in FIG. 1, a protection circuit adopting a single limiter is provided, a single limiter is added at the input front end of the low noise amplifier, so that the sharp pulse wave power can be limited to about 15dBm, the pulse peak is effectively reduced, and the instantaneous ultra-high input pulse is prevented from breaking down the first stage low noise amplifier. A single limiter can effectively resist sharp pulse waves, but cannot resist continuous waves, and usually the limiter can only limit the amplitude to about 15dBm, after the amplitude passes through a low-noise amplifier, the amplitude can be amplified, and although the output amplitude is limited by the saturated output power of the low-noise amplifier, the output amplitude of the amplifier usually exceeds the maximum input amplitude allowed by a rear-stage active device, so that the rear-stage active device is burnt.
If the problem of continuous wave burnout is to be solved, a protection circuit with a plurality of limiters is usually adopted, as shown in fig. 2, a limiter is added to the input end of each radio frequency active device, so that the input power of each active device in the radio frequency circuit cannot exceed the allowable maximum input range, pulse waves and continuous waves are effectively resisted, but the radio frequency channel is provided with four to five active devices, and four to five limiters are also required to be added, thus the volume of the radio frequency circuit is doubled, the cost is obviously increased, the end of the radio frequency channel is next to an analog-digital converter (ADC), the allowable maximum input power of the device is not more than 10dBm, and the limiters on the market generally limit the signal to 15dBm at present, so that the limiters cannot well protect the analog-digital converter.

Detailed Description

One end of the switch 3 is connected to an input end of a low noise amplifier at a front end of the radio frequency channel circuit, the other end of the switch 3 is grounded, the coupler/power divider is arranged between any two radio frequency components in the radio frequency channel circuit, in this embodiment, the input end of the coupler/power divider is connected to an output end of the low noise amplifier, a first output end of the coupler/power divider is connected to an input end of the mixer, the coupler/power divider can be arranged between the mixer and the filter, or between the filter and the intermediate frequency amplifier, a second output end of the coupler/power divider is connected to an input end of the detector 2, an output end of the detector 2 is connected to an anode of the diode 4, a cathode of the diode 4 is connected to a control end of the switch 3, a common end of the diode 4 is grounded through the capacitor 5, and of course, the switch control circuit can also adopt a switch control circuit composed of other components.
The working principle of the invention is as follows:
when the radio frequency channel circuit works normally, the switch is in an off state.
When the relatively sharp pulse wave interference enters the radio frequency channel, the amplitude limiter limits the input amplitude to about 15dBm, and the breakdown of the first-stage low-noise amplifier cannot be caused.
When a continuous wave interference signal enters the radio frequency channel and the duration exceeds 10ns, the detector detects that a larger signal enters the radio frequency channel, so that a direct current voltage related to the amplitude of the interference signal is output, the voltage enables the diode to be conducted, the capacitor is charged, and after the capacitor is charged, a high level is generated to enable the switch to be closed, so that the amplitude of the signal entering the radio frequency channel is greatly reduced (the interference signal is short-circuited). Because the diode and the control pin of the switch are both high-resistance, the capacitor discharges slowly, so that the switch is continuously closed, and even after a period of time, the switch is opened, and if an interference signal still exists at the moment, the next detection and control period is entered, and the cycle is performed.
The circuit has the advantages that the reaction time from the interference signal entering the radio frequency channel until the switch is closed is less than 50ns, the energy entering the radio frequency channel is small, and the burning of the later-stage active devices can be avoided.
The invention solves the problem of anti-pulse wave breakdown through the amplitude limiter, the rear end of the amplitude limiter is connected with a switch to ground, when the radio frequency channel circuit works normally, the switch is in an open state, a part of signal energy is split by the power distribution module arranged in the radio frequency channel circuit and sent to the detector, when the detector detects that a larger signal enters the radio frequency channel circuit, the detector outputs direct current voltage to the switch control circuit, the switch control circuit closes the switch, the signal is short-circuited to ground, and the later-stage circuit is protected from being burnt, and the invention has the following advantages:
1. the invention can solve the problem of pulse wave breakdown and the problem of continuous wave burnout.
2. The circuit structure is simple, and the cost can be effectively controlled.
3. The amplitude can be limited in an allowable input range by using the detection plus closed-loop control circuit, and the radio frequency device and the terminal analog-digital converter can be well protected.
