In the process of constructing the 5G network, according to the requirement of the communication protocol, a 5G network architecture of an independent networking (SA) or a 5G network architecture of a Non-independent Networking (NSA) may be adopted. In the 5G network architecture of NSA, it is necessary to transmit a 5G network signal and a 4G network signal at the same time. That is, in the 5G network architecture of NSA, 5G network signals include 4G signal streams and 5G signal streams.
The radio frequency circuit 200 according to the embodiment of the present application may be used to transmit a non-independent 5G network signal. For example, the radio frequency circuit 200 may be used to transmit 5G network signals of the NSA network architecture of the first SIM card 107. It is understood that the 5G network signal of the first SIM card 107 refers to a network signal when the electronic device 100 wirelessly communicates with a base station or other electronic devices through the information stored in the first SIM card 107 by using a fifth generation mobile communication technology.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a radio frequency circuit 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
The radio frequency circuit 200 comprises a baseband circuit 201, a first modem 202, a second modem 203, at least two first splitters 204, at least two first antennas 205 and at least two second antennas 206.
It should be noted that, although fig. 3 shows the rf circuit 200 including two first splitters 204, two first antennas 205, and two second antennas 206, the application is not limited thereto. The rf circuit 200 may also comprise other numbers of first splitters 204, first antennas 205 and second antennas 206, for example 3, 4, etc.
The baseband circuit 201 is configured to process communication data of the radio frequency circuit 200, and control an operating state of each device in the radio frequency circuit 200 according to interaction information with a base station or a network server. It is understood that the baseband circuit 201 may be integrated into the processor of the electronic device 100, or may be independent of a separate processing circuit or processing chip.
The first modem 202 is connected to the baseband circuit 201. The first modem 202 is used for processing 4G radio frequency signals. For example, the first modem 202 may modulate upstream signals passing through the first modem 202 and demodulate downstream signals passing through the first modem 202.
A second modem 203 is connected to the baseband circuitry 201. The second modem 203 is used for processing the 5G radio frequency signal. For example, the second modem 203 may modulate upstream signals passing through the second modem 203 and demodulate downstream signals passing through the second modem 203.
It can be understood that, when the radio frequency circuit 200 transmits a 5G network signal of an NSA network architecture, since the 5G network signal includes a 4G signal stream and a 5G signal stream, the first modem 202 may be configured to process the 4G signal stream, and the second modem 203 may be configured to process the 5G signal stream.
It is understood that the uplink signal refers to a radio frequency signal transmitted by the radio frequency circuit 200 to the outside through the antenna, and the downlink signal refers to a radio frequency signal received by the radio frequency circuit 200 from the outside through the antenna.
At least two first splitters 204, each first splitter 204 is connected to the first modem 202 and the second modem 203 simultaneously. The first splitter 204 is configured to combine and split the radio frequency signal. That is, the first splitter 204 may be configured to combine two uplink signals into one uplink signal, and to split one downlink signal into two downlink signals.
The first splitter 204 may be a frequency divider, a multiplexer, or the like. The multiplexer may include a duplexer, a quadplexer, a hexaplexer, and the like.
It will be appreciated that the first splitter 204 may also be replaced by a high frequency switch. For example, the first splitter 204 may be replaced by a Thin Film Transistor (TFT), through which the first splitter 204 is switched between turning on the first modem 202 and turning on the second modem 203.
At least two first antennas 205, each first antenna 205 being connected to the first modem 202 and the second modem 203. The at least two first antennas 205 are used for transmitting the 4G signal stream and the 5G signal stream of the 5G network signal. Wherein the transmitting the 4G signal stream and the 5G signal stream comprises: transmitting a 4G signal stream, receiving a 4G signal stream, transmitting and receiving a 4G signal stream, transmitting a 5G signal stream, receiving a 5G signal stream, transmitting and receiving a 5G signal stream. For example, of the at least two first antennas 205, one first antenna 205 may be used for transmitting and receiving 4G signal streams, and another first antenna 205 may be used for receiving 5G signal streams. Alternatively, one first antenna 205 of the at least two first antennas 205 may be used for transmitting and receiving 4G signal streams, and another first antenna 205 may be used for transmitting and receiving 5G signal streams.
It is to be understood that each of the first splitters 204 can be simultaneously connected to the first modem 202, the second modem 203 and one of the first antennas 205, so as to connect each of the first antennas 205 to the first modem 202 and the second modem 203.
It should be noted that the 4G signal stream or the 5G signal stream transmitted by each of the first antennas 205 may or may not carry information. The information-carrying signal stream may be understood as the communication content of the user mixed in the modulation process of the signal stream. A signal stream that does not carry information may be understood as a null signal stream, i.e. a signal stream that is not mixed into the communication content of the user during modulation, or a signal stream that is not modulated.
Wherein, when at least one of the first antennas 205 transmits a 4G signal stream carrying information, the at least one first antenna 205 simultaneously transmits an empty 5G signal stream. When at least one of the first antennas 205 transmits a 5G signal stream carrying information, the at least one first antenna 205 simultaneously transmits an empty 4G signal stream. That is, in the at least two first antennas 205, at least one transmitted signal stream carries information, and at least another transmitted signal stream does not carry information, and the signal stream that does not carry information is an empty signal stream. Therefore, when each of the first antennas 205 simultaneously transmits a 4G signal stream and a 5G signal stream, the transmitted signal streams can be prevented from affecting each other.
At least two second antennas 206, each second antenna 206 being connected to the second modem 203. The at least two second antennas 206 are used for transmitting 5G signal streams of the 5G network signal. Wherein the transmitting the 5G signal stream comprises: transmit 5G signal streams, receive 5G signal streams, transmit and receive 5G signal streams. For example, one second antenna 206 of the at least two second antennas 206 may be used for transmitting and receiving 5G signal streams, and another second antenna 206 may be used for receiving 5G signal streams. The 5G signal stream transmitted by each of the second antennas 206 carries information, that is, a signal stream that is not null.
In the radio frequency circuit 200, the transmission process of the uplink signal is as follows:
the baseband circuit 201 processes a 4G signal stream and a 5G signal stream of a 5G network signal that needs to be transmitted to the external first SIM card, and then transmits the processed 4G signal stream to the first modem 202 for modulation, and transmits the processed 5G signal stream to the second modem 203 for modulation.
The first modem 202 modulates the 4G signal stream, transmits the modulated 4G signal stream to a first splitter 204, transmits the modulated 4G signal stream to a first antenna 205 connected to the first splitter 204 via the first splitter 204, and transmits the modulated 4G signal stream to the outside through the first antenna 205.
The second modem 203 modulates the 5G signal stream, transmits the modulated 5G signal stream to a second antenna 206, and transmits the modulated 5G signal stream to the outside through the second antenna 206. Alternatively, the second modem 203 modulates the 5G signal stream, transmits the modulated 5G signal stream to a first splitter 204, transmits the modulated 5G signal stream to a first antenna 205 connected to the first splitter 204 via the first splitter 204, and transmits the modulated 5G signal stream to the outside through the first antenna 205.
In the rf circuit 200, the transmission process of the downlink signal is as follows:
after receiving the 4G signal stream and the 5G signal stream from the outside, the first antenna 205 transmits the received 4G signal stream and 5G signal stream to the first splitter 204 connected to the first antenna 205 for splitting, and then transmits the split 4G signal stream to the first modem 202 for demodulation, and transmits the split 5G signal stream to the second modem 203 for demodulation.
The second antenna 206 receives the 5G signal stream from the outside, and transmits the received 5G signal stream to the second modem 203 for demodulation.
After receiving the downlink 4G signal stream, the first modem 202 demodulates the downlink 4G signal stream, and transmits the demodulated 4G signal stream to the baseband circuit 201 for processing.
After receiving the downlink 5G signal stream, the second modem 203 demodulates the downlink 5G signal stream, and transmits the demodulated 5G signal stream to the baseband circuit 201 for processing.
It is particularly pointed out that it is currently in the construction and development stage of 5G networks. 5G networks have specificity with respect to 4G networks.
Depending on the requirements of the communication protocol, a complete 4G network communication link requires at least 2 antennas to implement, and a complete 5G network communication link requires at least 4 antennas to implement. In a communication link formed by at least 4 antennas of a 5G network, it is necessary to maintain one antenna to implement SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) communication between an electronic device and a base station. The uplink sounding reference signal is also referred to as a channel sounding reference signal. That is, in a 5G network communication link between an electronic device and a base station, it is necessary to keep an antenna transmitting SRS signals to the base station, and the base station evaluates the quality of downlink channels between the base station and the electronic device through the received SRS signals, thereby facilitating the resource allocation of the downlink channels between the base station and the electronic device. However, according to the requirements of the communication protocol, the SRS signal needs to be switched between at least 4 antennas of the 5G network communication link. That is, the electronic device sequentially transmits the SRS signal to the base station in a time division manner through each of the at least 4 antennas of the 5G network communication link. The SRS signal does not carry communication content of communication between the user and other users, and is only used for the base station to evaluate the quality of the downlink channel.
In the radio frequency circuit 200, the SRS signals may be switched between the at least two first antennas 205 and the at least two second antennas 206. That is, sequentially, the SRS signal is transmitted to the base station through one of the at least two first antennas 205 and the at least two second antennas 206 in a time division manner, and the other of the at least two first antennas 205 and the at least two second antennas 206 enables the communication content of the user to be transmitted between the electronic device and the base station.
In this application, when the radio frequency circuit 200 transmits a 5G network signal of an NSA network architecture, the at least two first antennas 205 of the radio frequency circuit 200 may transmit both a 4G signal stream and a 5G signal stream, where in the at least two first antennas 205, a signal stream transmitted by at least one antenna carries information, and a signal stream transmitted by at least another antenna does not carry information, so that the transmission of the 4G signal stream and the transmission of the 5G signal stream may implement sharing of the at least two first antennas 205. Therefore, the radio frequency circuit 200 of the present application can not only realize transmission of 5G network signals of the NSA network architecture, but also reduce the number of antennas of the radio frequency circuit 200, and reduce the occupation of the antennas on the internal space of the electronic device 100, thereby improving the internal space utilization of the electronic device.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a first signal transmission in the rf circuit 200 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Among them, at least one of the at least two first antennas 205 in common is used for transmitting and receiving a 4G signal stream and receiving a 5G signal stream, and at least another one is used for receiving the 4G signal stream and the 5G signal stream.
Wherein the at least two first antennas 205 comprise a first main set antenna and a first diversity antenna. The first primary set of antennas is configured to transmit and receive the 4G signal streams and to receive the 5G signal streams, so as to implement primary set transceiving of the 4G signal streams and diversity reception of the 5G signal streams. The first diversity antenna is configured to receive the 4G signal stream and to receive the 5G signal stream, so as to implement diversity reception of the 4G signal stream and diversity reception of the 5G signal stream.
It should be noted that only one antenna is needed for the first main set antenna to achieve simultaneous transmission and reception of the 4G signal streams. The first diversity antenna may include a plurality of antennas, thereby implementing MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) reception of the 4G signal streams and the 5G signal streams.
The at least two second antennas 206 include a second main set antenna and a second diversity antenna. The second main set antenna is used for transmitting and receiving the 5G signal stream so as to realize main set transceiving of the 5G signal stream. The second diversity antenna is configured to receive the 5G signal stream to implement diversity reception of the 5G signal stream.
It should be noted that only one antenna is needed for the second main set antenna to achieve simultaneous transmission and reception of the 5G signal streams. The second diversity antenna may include a plurality of antennas to enable MIMO reception of the 5G signal streams.
Thus, the radio frequency circuit 200 may implement both the main set transceiving and diversity reception of the 4G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card and the main set transceiving and diversity MIMO reception of the 5G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card, and may implement the sharing of at least two first antennas 205.
Wherein, as can be understood, when the first main set antenna is used for transmitting and receiving the 4G signal streams and for receiving the 5G signal streams, when the first main set antenna transmits or receives the 4G signal streams carrying information, the first main set antenna also receives empty 5G signal streams, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 4G signal streams transmitted or received by the first main set antenna and the received 5G signal streams. When the first diversity antenna is configured to receive the 4G signal stream and to receive the 5G signal stream, the first diversity antenna receives a null 4G signal stream and receives a 5G signal stream carrying information, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 4G signal stream received by the first diversity antenna and the received 5G signal stream. And through the cooperation between the first main set antenna and the first diversity antenna, the 4G signal carrying information and the 5G signal stream carrying information can be transmitted simultaneously, and the communication interruption of the 4G signal stream and the communication interruption of the 5G signal stream cannot be caused.
When the first main set antenna is used for transmitting and receiving the 4G signal stream and for receiving the 5G signal stream, and when the first main set antenna receives the 5G signal stream carrying information, the first main set antenna also transmits or receives a null 4G signal stream, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 5G signal stream received by the first main set antenna and the transmitted or received 4G signal stream. When the first diversity antenna is configured to receive the 4G signal stream and to receive the 5G signal stream, the first diversity antenna receives a null 5G signal stream and receives an information-carrying 4G signal stream, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 5G signal stream received by the first diversity antenna and the received 4G signal stream. And through the cooperation between the first main set antenna and the first diversity antenna, the 4G signal carrying information and the 5G signal stream carrying information can be transmitted simultaneously, and the communication interruption of the 4G signal stream and the communication interruption of the 5G signal stream cannot be caused.
Furthermore, it is understood that the at least two first antennas 205 may also be used for transmitting a 5G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second signal transmission in the rf circuit 200 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Among them, at least one of the at least two first antennas 205 in common is used for transmitting and receiving a 4G signal stream and receiving a 5G signal stream, and at least another one is used for transmitting and receiving a 5G signal stream and receiving a 4G signal stream.
Wherein the at least two first antennas 205 comprise a third dominant set antenna and a fourth dominant set antenna. The third main set antenna is used for transmitting and receiving the 4G signal stream and receiving the 5G signal stream so as to realize main set transceiving of the 4G signal stream and diversity reception of the 5G signal stream. The fourth primary set antenna is configured to transmit and receive the 5G signal streams and to receive the 4G signal streams, so as to implement primary set transceiving of the 5G signal streams and diversity reception of the 4G signal streams.
It should be noted that only one antenna is needed for the third main set antenna to achieve simultaneous transmission and reception of the 4G signal streams, and only one antenna is needed for the fourth main set antenna to achieve simultaneous transmission and reception of the 5G signal streams.
The at least two second antennas 206 include a third diversity antenna. The third diversity antenna is configured to receive the 5G signal stream to implement diversity reception of the 5G signal stream.
It should be noted that the third diversity antenna includes multiple antennas, so that MIMO reception of the 5G signal stream can be achieved.
Thus, the radio frequency circuit 200 may implement both the main set transceiving and diversity reception of the 4G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card and the main set transceiving and diversity MIMO reception of the 5G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card, and may implement the sharing of at least two first antennas 205.
Wherein, it can be understood that, when the third dominant set antenna is used for transmitting and receiving the 4G signal streams and for receiving the 5G signal streams, when the third dominant set antenna transmits or receives the 4G signal streams carrying information, the third dominant set antenna also receives empty 5G signal streams, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 4G signal streams transmitted or received by the third dominant set antenna and the received 5G signal streams. And when the fourth main set antenna is used for transmitting and receiving the 5G signal stream and receiving the 4G signal stream, the fourth main set antenna receives a null 4G signal stream and transmits or receives a 5G signal stream carrying information, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 5G signal stream transmitted and received by the fourth main set antenna and the received 4G signal stream. And through the cooperation between the third main set antenna and the fourth main set antenna, the 4G signal carrying information and the 5G signal stream carrying information can be transmitted simultaneously, and communication interruption of the 4G signal stream and communication interruption of the 5G signal stream cannot be caused.

When the fourth primary set antenna is used for transmitting and receiving the 5G signal stream and for receiving the 4G signal stream, the fourth primary set antenna transmits or receives an empty 5G signal stream and receives an information-carrying 4G signal stream, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 4G signal stream received by the fourth primary set antenna and the transmitted and received 5G signal stream. And through the cooperation between the third main set antenna and the fourth main set antenna, the 4G signal carrying information and the 5G signal stream carrying information can be transmitted simultaneously, and communication interruption of the 4G signal stream and communication interruption of the 5G signal stream cannot be caused.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second structure of the rf circuit 200 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
Wherein, it is understood that the at least two second antennas 206 may also be connected with the first modem 202. That is, each of the at least two second antennas 206 is connected to the first modem 202. Thus, the at least two second antennas 206 may also be used for transmitting 4G signal streams in the 5G network signals of the first SIM card. For example, the at least two second antennas 206 may be used to receive the 4G signal streams to enable MIMO reception of the 4G signal streams.
It is understood that each of the second antennas 206 may carry information in one signal stream and not carry information in the other signal stream when simultaneously transmitting the 4G signal stream and the 5G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card, so as to avoid mutual influence between the simultaneously transmitted 4G signal stream and the 5G signal stream. For example, when each of the second antennas 206 transmits a 4G signal stream carrying information, it may simultaneously transmit a 5G signal stream not carrying information, that is, simultaneously transmit a 4G signal stream carrying information and a null 5G signal stream. For another example, when each of the second antennas 206 transmits a 5G signal stream carrying information, it may simultaneously transmit a 4G signal stream not carrying information, that is, simultaneously transmit a 5G signal stream carrying information and a null 4G signal stream.
Wherein, the rf circuit 200 may further include at least two second splitters 207. Each of the second splitters 207 is connected to the first modem 202, the second modem 203 and one of the second antennas 206, so that each of the second antennas 206 is simultaneously connected to the first modem 202 and the second modem 203.
The second splitter 207 may be a frequency divider, a multiplexer, or the like. The multiplexer may include a duplexer, a quadplexer, a hexaplexer, and the like.
It is understood that the radio frequency circuit 200 may also be used to transmit 4G network signals of the second SIM card 108 of the electronic device 100. For example, the rf circuit 200 may be configured to receive a 4G network networking signal of the second SIM card 108. It is understood that the 4G network signal of the second SIM card 108 refers to a network signal when the electronic device 100 wirelessly communicates with a base station or other electronic devices by using the fourth generation mobile communication technology through the information stored in the second SIM card 108, for example, a network injection signal transmitted between the electronic device 100 and the base station by using the fourth generation mobile communication technology through the information stored in the second SIM card 108.

Wherein the at least two second antennas 206 are further connected to the first modem 202. The at least two second antennas 206 are also used for transmitting 4G signal streams in the 5G network signals of the first SIM card. That is, the at least two second antennas 205 and 206 are both used for transmitting 4G signal streams and 5G signal streams in the 5G network signals of the first SIM card. Or, in other words, at least four antennas are used to transmit the 4G signal stream and the 5G signal stream.
When the radio frequency circuit 200 transmits the 4G network signal of the second SIM card, at least two third antennas which are not in a transmission state are determined from the at least two first antennas 205 and the at least two second antennas 206, and the 4G network signal of the second SIM card is transmitted through the at least two third antennas. That is, at least two third antennas which are not in a transmitting state are determined from the at least four antennas, and the 4G network signals of the second SIM card are transmitted through the at least two third antennas.
Wherein the at least two third antennas not in a transmitting state means that the at least two third antennas are not in a state of transmitting a 4G signal stream nor in a state of transmitting a 5G signal stream. It should be noted that the at least two third antennas may be in a state of receiving a 4G signal stream, may also be in a state of receiving a 5G signal stream, and may also be in an idle state, that is, neither in a transmitting state nor in a receiving state.
It is understood that, in addition to the third antenna, among other antennas of the at least two first antennas 205 and the at least two second antennas 206, a 4G signal stream of the 5G network signal of the first SIM card may be transmitted and received through one antenna, and a 5G signal stream may be received, and the 5G signal stream may be transmitted and received through another antenna, and a 4G signal stream may be received.
When the radio frequency circuit 200 transmits the 4G network signal of the second SIM card, it is detected whether the at least two third antennas are in a state of transmitting a 4G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card. If the at least two third antennas are in a state of transmitting 4G signal streams in the 5G network signals of the first SIM card, the transmission of the 4G signal streams on the at least two third antennas is interrupted, and the 4G network signals of the second SIM card are transmitted through the at least two third antennas, so as to avoid mutual influence between the 4G signal streams in the 5G network signals of the first SIM card and the 4G network signals of the second SIM card.

The rf circuit 200 further includes a control circuit 208. The control circuit 208 is coupled to the first modem 202.
The control circuit 208 is configured to control the first modem 202 to interrupt processing of a 4G signal stream in a 5G network signal of the first SIM card when processing a 4G network signal of the second SIM card, so as to control the at least two third antennas to interrupt transmission of the 4G signal stream in the 5G network signal of the first SIM card on the at least two third antennas when transmitting the 4G network signal of the second SIM card. Thus, the control circuit 208 can switch the at least two third antennas between 4G signal streams in the 4G network signal transmitting the second SIM card and the 5G network signal transmitting the first SIM card by controlling the first modem 202.
