As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, the high frequency transmission ports include a first sub transmission port 2G HB RFIN and a second sub transmission port 4G HB RFIN. The second transmitting module 120 includes a first power amplifier 121, a second power amplifier 122 and a third power amplifier 123. The input end of the first power amplifier 121 is connected to the intermediate frequency transmit port 4G MB RFIN, and the output end of the first power amplifier 121 is connected to the first end of the medium-high frequency switch circuit 140, and is configured to amplify and filter the received multiple intermediate frequency signals and output the amplified and filtered intermediate frequency signals through the second antenna port MB ANT, so as to implement transmission of the multiple intermediate frequency signals. The input end of the second power amplifier 122 is connected to the second sub-transmission port 4G HB RFIN, and the output end of the second power amplifier 122 is connected to the first end of the middle-high frequency switch circuit 140, and is configured to amplify and filter the received multiple 4G high frequency signals and output the amplified and filtered signals through the third antenna port HB ANT to implement transmission of the multiple 4G high frequency signals. The input end of the third power amplifier 123 is connected to the first sub-transmission port 2G HB RFIN, and the output end of the third power amplifier 123 is connected to the first end of the medium-high frequency switch circuit 140, and is configured to perform amplification and filtering processing on the received 2G high frequency signal and output the signal through the third antenna port HB ANT to implement transmission of the 2G high frequency signal.
As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, the middle-high frequency switching circuit 140 includes a first switching unit 141 and a second switching unit 142. Among them, the intermediate frequency transmission port 4G MB RFIN, the first switch unit 141, and the second antenna port MB ANT constitute a plurality of second transmission paths. The second sub transmission port 4G HB RFIN, the first switching unit 141, the second switching unit 142, and the third antenna port HB ANT constitute a plurality of third transmission paths. The first sub transmission port 2G HB RFIN, the second switching unit 142, and the second antenna port MB ANT constitute a 2G high frequency transmission path. Illustratively, the first switching unit 141 may include a DP8T switch. The second switching unit 142 may include a first SPDT switch. The first terminals of the DP8T switch are respectively configured to receive the if signals and the 4G hf signals of multiple frequency bands, and the second terminals of the DP8T switch are respectively connected to a selection terminal (i.e., the first terminal) of the first SPDT switch and the third antenna port HB ANT. The other selection terminal of the first SPDT switch is connected to the output terminal of the third power amplifier 123, and the single terminal (i.e., the second terminal) of the first SPDT is connected to the second antenna port MB ANT, for selectively outputting a 4G intermediate frequency signal or a 2G high frequency signal.
Since the GSM1800/1900TX channel is built in the rf L-PA Mid device, if the GSM1800/1900TX channel is directly switched by the DP8T switch, the GSM1800/1900TX channel is output to the second antenna port MB ANT, in one embodiment, the output power of the 2G high frequency signal is about 32dBm, and the insertion loss between the first sub transmitting port 2G HB RFIN and the antenna is about 1.7 dB. The output power of the second antenna port calculated by the kernel is 32-1.7-30.3 dBm, and the standard of development is 30.5 ± 0.5 dBm. The inventor researches and finds that the insertion loss of the DP8T switch is high, and specific parameters are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1DP8T switch insertion loss parameters
| Frequency band | 1.0GHz | 2.0GHz |
| Insertion loss (dB) | 1dB | 1.5dB |
The excessive insertion loss of the DP8T switch is caused by the fact that the link loss of the rf signal inside the switch is very large due to the multi-path switching, and in order to reduce the routing loss of the 2G high frequency signal on the link, a separate first SPDT switch is used for switching the 2G high frequency signal. The insertion loss of the built-in first SPDT switch is referenced to RF1630 of QORVO, with specific parameters as shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 first SPDT switch insertion loss parameters
| Frequency of | Insertion loss |
| 100~1000 | 0.3 |
| 1000~1600 | 0.4 |
| 1600~2200 | 0.45 |
Combining the switching loss data in table 1 and table 2, it is calculated that the output power value of the 2G high-frequency signal of the radio frequency L-PA Mid device shown in fig. 3 at the antenna port is 32+ (1.5-0.45) -1.7-31.35 dB. The output power of 2G HIGH GSM in the scheme shown in figure 3 is improved by 1dB compared to the scheme shown in figure 2 and is also above the development standard.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in the radio frequency L-PA Mid device, a corresponding receiving path and a corresponding transmitting path are respectively configured for each of the low frequency signal, the intermediate frequency signal, and the high frequency signal.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the second transmitting module 120 further includes at least two rf switches. Among them, a radio frequency switch 124, the intermediate frequency transmission port 4G MB RFIN, the first switch unit 141, and the second antenna port MB ANT constitute a plurality of intermediate frequency transmission paths. For example, if the plurality of intermediate frequency signals are six different frequency bands, i.e., B1, B3, B34, B39, B66, and B25, the rf switch 124 is an SP5T switch, and a single terminal of the SP5T switch is connected to the intermediate frequency transmitting port 4G MB RFIN. The other radio frequency switch 125, the second sub-transmitting port 4G HB RFIN, the first switch unit 141 and the third antenna port HB ANT form a plurality of 4G high frequency transmitting paths; for example, if the plurality of 4G high frequency signals are four different frequency bands, i.e., B30, B7, B40, and B41, the rf switch 125 is a first 4P4T switch.
As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, the low frequency transmission ports include a 2G low frequency transmission port 2G LB RFIN and a 4G low frequency transmission port 4G LB RFIN. The first transmitting module 110 includes a fourth power amplifier 111 and a fifth power amplifier 112.
