In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, an input terminal of the first filter 120 is connected to the antenna 110, an input terminal of the gain adjustment module 130 is connected to an output terminal of the first filter 120, an input terminal of the second filter 140 is connected to an output terminal of the gain adjustment module 130, a first interface of the receiver 150 is connected to an output terminal of the second filter 140, and a second interface of the receiver 150 is connected to a control terminal of the gain adjustment module 130.
In this embodiment, the receiver 150 may be a GNSS receiver to receive and demodulate a Positioning signal, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal. As shown in fig. 1, the receiver 150 includes an adjustable gain amplifier 151.
In this embodiment, the first filter 120 and the second filter 140 can provide a good suppression effect on the GNSS out-of-band interference signal, so as to prevent the out-of-band interference energy from being too large to affect the operation of the adjustable gain amplifier 151.
In this embodiment, when an external interference signal comes in, the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151 may decrease, and the receiver 150 may adjust the gain adjustment module 130 to increase the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151 when the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151 decreases to the first threshold, so as to ensure that the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is always at a good gain value, thereby enhancing the demodulation capability of the radio frequency circuit 10 under a strong interference signal. That is, the dynamic range of the rf circuit 10 is further increased based on the dynamic range of the original adjustable gain amplifier 151, so as to enhance the demodulation capability of the rf circuit 10 under strong interference signals.
The first threshold may be a value set according to an actual operating state of the adjustable gain amplifier 151, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto.
According to the radio frequency circuit provided by the embodiment of the invention, the gain adjusting module is added in the radio frequency circuit, when external interference comes, the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier can be reduced, and the receiver can adjust the gain adjusting module to improve the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier under the condition that the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier is reduced to the first threshold value, so that the noise coefficient of the radio frequency circuit is reduced, the adjustable gain amplifier is ensured to be always in a good gain value, and the demodulation capacity of the radio frequency circuit under a strong interference signal is further improved.
According to some embodiments of the invention, as shown in fig. 2, the Gain adjustment module 130 may be a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) 131. The programmable gain amplifier 131 is a highly versatile amplifier, and its gain value can be controlled as required.
In this embodiment, in an initial state, the programmable gain amplifier 131 is in a highest gain state, and when an external interference signal comes in and causes the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151 to decrease to the first threshold, the receiver 150 controls the programmable gain amplifier 131 to decrease the gain value of the programmable gain amplifier 131 by a control signal, so as to increase the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151, thereby ensuring that the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is always in a good gain value.
When the external environment changes, the interference signal is reduced or disappeared, and the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is increased to the second threshold, at this time, the receiver 150 controls the programmable gain amplifier 131 to increase the gain value of the programmable gain amplifier 131 through the control signal, so as to reduce the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151, and further, it is ensured that the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is always at a good gain value.
The above second threshold may be a value set according to an actual operating state of the adjustable gain amplifier 151, and the second threshold is larger than the first threshold.
According to the radio frequency circuit of the embodiment, the programmable gain amplifier is added in the radio frequency circuit, when an external interference signal comes in, the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier can be reduced, and the receiver adjusts the programmable gain amplifier to reduce the gain value thereof so as to improve the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier under the condition that the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier is reduced to the first threshold value, so that the noise coefficient of the radio frequency circuit is reduced, the adjustable gain amplifier is ensured to be always in a good gain value, and the demodulation capability of the radio frequency circuit under a strong interference signal is further enhanced.
By introducing the programmable gain amplifier, the dynamic range of a system level is expanded, the tolerance of the radio frequency circuit to the in-band strong interference signal is enhanced, and the influence of the in-band strong interference signal on the performance of the radio frequency circuit is further reduced.

In this embodiment, when an external interference signal enters and the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is reduced to the first threshold, the receiver 150 controls the capacitance value of the varactor 132 to increase through the control signal, and since the second end of the varactor 132 is grounded, the interference signal can be greatly attenuated to the ground, so as to increase the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151, and ensure that the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is always at a good gain value.
When the external environment changes, the interference signal is reduced or disappeared, and the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is increased to the second threshold, at this time, the receiver 150 controls the capacitance value of the varactor diode 132 to be reduced through the control signal, so as to reduce the attenuation of the signal, further reduce the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier 151, and ensure that the adjustable gain amplifier 151 is always at a good gain value.
According to the radio frequency circuit of the embodiment, the varactor is added in the radio frequency circuit, when external interference comes in, the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier can be reduced, and the receiver adjusts the varactor to increase the capacitance value of the varactor so as to attenuate an interference signal to the ground under the condition that the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier is reduced to the first threshold value, so that the gain value of the adjustable gain amplifier is increased, the adjustable gain amplifier is ensured to be always at a good gain value, and the demodulation capacity of the radio frequency circuit under a strong interference signal is enhanced.
