In order to solve the problem that the second harmonic of Wi-Fi2.4G interferes with a signal of a 5G N79 frequency band, in the prior art, a filter is added on a radio frequency path of the Wi-Fi2.4G, and the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G is suppressed to be within an acceptable range. However, the technology has the defects that only the second harmonic leaked from the radio frequency path of the Wi-Fi2.4G can be inhibited, and for a dual-frequency Wi-Fi chip platform, the isolation degree inside the chip is insufficient, the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G can be coupled to the radio frequency path of the Wi-Fi 5G from the inside of the chip, and because the frequency band of the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G is very close to 5GHz, the inhibition degree of the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G by a 5G Wi-Fi filter arranged on the radio frequency path of the Wi-Fi 5G is very low, the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G can be radiated from a Wi-Fi 5G antenna through the radio frequency path of the Wi-Fi 5G, and the signal of the frequency band of 5G N79 can be seriously influenced.

The antenna circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an antenna circuit, including:

a wireless local area network integrated circuit 1, a first filter 2, a second filter 3, and a first switch unit 4; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the wireless local area network integrated circuit 1 receives and transmits signals of a first frequency band and signals of a second frequency band, the first frequency band and the second frequency band are different frequency bands, and second harmonic radiation of the first frequency band generates interference on receiving and transmitting signals of a third frequency band of a cellular network;

the first filter 2 is connected to a first end of the wireless lan integrated circuit 1, where the first end is a signal transceiving end of the first frequency band;

the first switch unit 4 is connected to a second end of the wireless lan integrated circuit 1, where the second end is a signal transceiver end of the second frequency band;

the first switching unit 4 is also connected to the second filter 3;

the first switch unit 4 includes a first state and a second state, and the first state is used for conducting signal transceiving of the second frequency band; the second state is used for isolating the signal receiving and transmitting of the second frequency band.

Therefore, under the condition that the second harmonic radiation of the first frequency band interferes with the signal receiving and transmitting of the third frequency band of the cellular network through the path of the second frequency band, the first switch unit is switched to the second state to isolate the signal receiving and transmitting of the second frequency band, so that the second harmonic radiation of the first frequency band through the path of the second frequency band is prevented, and the influence of the second harmonic radiation of the first frequency band on the signal receiving and transmitting of the third frequency band is reduced to a certain extent.

In the embodiment of the present application, a signal in the first frequency band is a signal in a Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band, a signal in the second frequency band is a signal in a Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, and a signal in the third frequency band is a signal in a 5G N79 frequency band.

The second harmonic radiation of Wi-Fi2.4G band signals interferes with the cellular network's 5G N79 band signal transmission and reception.

According to the embodiment of the application, the first switch unit 4 is arranged on the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, and the algorithm of software coexistence is adopted to ensure that the signal path of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is disconnected through the first switch unit 4 when the signal is transmitted and received, so that the second harmonic of the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is prevented from radiating out through the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, the algorithm of software coexistence can ensure that various scenes under the condition that Wi-Fi and 5G NR coexist do not influence each other, and the logic of the first switch unit 4 is ensured not to be wrong.

The software coexistence algorithm switches the first state and the second state of the first switch unit 4 in the coexistence state of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band, the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band and the 5G N79 frequency band, so that the interference of the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band signals on the signals of the 5G N79 frequency band through the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band can be reduced under the condition that the cellular network and the Wi-Fi function are not influenced. The detected working states of the cellular network and the Wi-Fi can be fed back to a Wireless local area network Integrated Circuit (Wi-Fi IC)1 through a General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) port and can be processed in a centralized way through the Wireless local area network Integrated Circuit 1. Optionally, the detected working states of the cellular network and the Wi-Fi can also be fed back to a Central Processing Unit (CPU) through a GPIO port, and then the CPU controls the Wi-Fi IC 1 to perform centralized Processing. For example, if a 5G N79 band signal is in a Transmit (TX) state, the N79 band transmit port (GPIO _ N79_ core _ TX) in the GPIO port will feed back a high level to the Wi-Fi IC 1 or the CPU, and the Wi-Fi signal will also be fed back to the Wi-Fi IC 1 or the CPU through the GPIO port according to the same principle.

It should be noted that, by using the software coexistence algorithm, when it is detected that the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in the operating state, the first switch unit 4 is controlled to switch to the second state, and the isolation of the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is increased, so that the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band signal is prevented from being radiated out through the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, but considering that when the 5G N79 frequency band is in the transmitting state, the situation that the Wi-Fi 5G antenna is damaged due to excessively high injection power of the signal may occur, therefore, the software coexistence algorithm controls the first switch unit 4 to switch to the first state, and the antenna can be prevented from being damaged due to excessively high signal power coupled to the Wi-Fi 5G antenna.

It should be noted that the first filter 2 is a filter disposed on a signal path of a Wi-Fi2.4G band, and the second filter 3 is a filter disposed on a signal path of a Wi-Fi 5G band.

In a case that the second harmonic radiation in the first frequency band interferes with the signal transceiving of the third frequency band of the cellular network through the path in the second frequency band, optionally, as shown in fig. 2, the antenna circuit further includes:

a combiner 5 and a second switching unit 6; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the second switch unit 6 is disposed between the combiner 5 and the second filter 3, the second switch unit 6 includes a third state and a fourth state, and the second filter 3 is electrically conducted to the combiner 5 through the second switch unit 6 in the third state of the second switch unit 6; in the fourth state of the second switching unit 6, the second filter 3 is disconnected from the combiner 5.

Optionally, the second switching unit 6 comprises a plurality of series-connected sub-switches.

Thus, the isolation of signal transmission can be further improved by the series connection of the plurality of sub-switches. The number of the sub-switches in the second switch unit is set according to a preset requirement, and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Wherein the third state of the second switch unit 6, i.e. the plurality of sub-switches are electrically conducted, and electrically conducted at the combiner 5; the fourth state of the second switch unit 6, i.e. the plurality of sub-switches are open and open at the combiner 5. Referring to fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present application, since the isolation of the first switch unit 4 to the signal is low, and the energy of the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G band signal may not be reduced to the preset requirement, the second switch unit 6 including a plurality of serially connected sub-switches may be disposed between the second filter 3 and the combiner 5 on the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G band, so as to increase the isolation to the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G band signal, so as to achieve the preset isolation.

When the second switch unit 6 is switched to the fourth state, the energy of the radio frequency signal is not completely isolated, the energy is still transmitted to the first sub-switch of the second switch unit 6 and transmitted to the second sub-switch through the first sub-switch, but the energy is attenuated, and the attenuation degree is equal to the isolation degree of the switch, so that the attenuation degree can be obviously improved by the plurality of sub-switches connected in series, and the energy of the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band signal is reduced to a preset requirement.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the second switch unit including the plurality of serially connected sub-switches is used to implement isolation, so as to meet requirements of different hardware designs well, improve isolation flexibly, and effectively prevent the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G band signal from radiating and interfering with the signal in the 5G N79 band through the signal path in the Wi-Fi 5G band.

The combiner 5 is configured to combine the signals of the multiple frequency bands and output the combined signals.

In the embodiment of the application, the software switches the first state and the second state of the first switch unit 4 and switches the third state and the fourth state of the second switch unit 6 according to the coexisting state of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band, the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band and the 5G N79 frequency band, so that the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band signal can be reduced from radiating and interfering with the signal in the 5G N79 frequency band through the signal path in the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band under the condition that the cellular network and the Wi-Fi function are not affected. The detected working states of the cellular network and the Wi-Fi can be fed back to the Wi-Fi IC 1 or the CPU through the GPIO port and are processed by the Wi-Fi IC 1 in a centralized mode.

It should be noted that, by using a software coexistence algorithm, the GPIO port shared by the sub-switches of the second switch unit 6 is logically controlled, so as to achieve an effect of controlling the states of the plurality of sub-switches to be identical, and by using the software coexistence algorithm, when the first switch unit 4 is controlled to be in the first state (the state of conducting the signal transceiving of the second frequency band), the second switch unit 6 is controlled to be in the third state (the state of conducting the signal transceiving of the second frequency band), and when the first switch unit 4 is controlled to be in the second state (the state of isolating the signal transceiving of the second frequency band), the second switch unit 6 is controlled to be in the fourth state (the state of isolating the signal transceiving of the second frequency band).

It should be noted that, when detecting that the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in the working state, the software coexistence algorithm controls the first switch unit 4 to switch to the second state, and controls the second switch unit 6 to switch to the fourth state, increases the isolation of the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band signal from radiating out through the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, but considering that when the 5G N79 frequency band is in a transmitting state, the situation that the Wi-Fi 5G antenna is damaged due to the fact that the injection power of the signal is too large can occur, thus, the software coexistence algorithm controls the first switching unit 4 to switch to the first state, the second switching unit 6 to switch to the third state all together, the antenna can be prevented from being damaged by excessive signal power coupled to the Wi-Fi 5G antenna.

Optionally, the first switch unit 4 is a single-ended multi-throw switch.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first switch unit 4 is a single-ended multi-throw switch, and the first state and the second state of the first switch unit 4 can be switched by connecting the fixed end of the first switch unit 4 to different moving ends.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first switch unit 4 is a single-ended three-throw switch (SP 3T). At this time, the first moving end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to a transmitting port of the Wi-Fi 5G band signal, the second moving end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to a receiving port of the Wi-Fi 5G band signal, and the third moving end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to the grounded first resistor 7. When the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is connected with the first movable end or the second movable end, the first switch unit 4 is in a first state; when the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to the third movable end, the first switch unit 4 is in the second state.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first switch unit 4 is a single-ended double-throw switch, and at this time, the first moving end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to a transmitting port of the Wi-Fi 5G band signal, and the second moving end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to a receiving port of the Wi-Fi 5G band signal. When the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is connected with the first movable end or the second movable end, the first switch unit 4 is in a first state; when the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is idle, that is, the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to the first moving end or the second moving end is not connected, the first switch unit 4 is in the second state.

Optionally, one end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to a first resistor 7 connected to ground.

It should be noted that, because the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in the operating state, the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is in the off state, and the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is in the operating state, the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in the off state, when it is detected that the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in the operating state, the first switch unit 4 is controlled to switch to the second state where the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to the third movable end, that is, connected to the first resistor 7, so as to isolate the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band signal from radiating the signal of the interference 5G N79 frequency band through the signal path of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band.

Alternatively, the resistance value of the first resistor 7 is 50 Ω.

The following describes the process of controlling the switching state of the first switch unit by the software coexistence algorithm with reference to fig. 3 and table 1:

firstly, detecting working states of a Wi-Fi frequency band and a 5G NR frequency band, if detecting that a signal of a 5G N79 frequency band is in a transmitting state (5G N79 TX), detecting whether a signal of a Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in a closed state (Wi-Fi 2.4G OFF), if detecting that the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is not in the closed state, namely in the working state, controlling a stationary end of a first switch unit (SW1) to be switched to a channel connected with a first resistor (50 omega), isolating second harmonic of the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band from radiating and interfering the signal of a 5G N79 frequency band through the signal channel of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, and if detecting that the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in the closed state, detecting whether the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is in the transmitting state (Wi-Fi 5G TX), it should be noted that, no matter whether the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G band is in the transmitting state, the stationary terminal of the first switch unit (SW1) is controlled to switch to be connected to the first moving terminal, that is, to switch to the Transmitting (TX) path of the band signal, and different from the above, when the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G band is detected not to be in the transmitting state, since it is considered that the signal of the 5G N79 band is in the transmitting state, it may cause the situation that the Wi-Fi 5G antenna (LNA) is damaged due to the excessively large injected power, and by controlling the first switch unit (SW1) to switch to the Transmitting (TX) path of the band signal, the LNA is prevented from being damaged due to the excessively large power of the Wi-Fi 5G LNA, and the purpose of protecting the Wi-Fi 5G LNA is achieved. Under the condition that a signal of a 5G N79 frequency band is detected not to be in a transmitting state (5G N79 TX), whether a signal of a Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in a closed state (Wi-Fi 2.4G OFF) or not is detected, if the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is detected not to be in the closed state, namely in an operating state, a stationary end of a first switch unit (SW1) is controlled to be switched to a passage connected with a first resistor (50 omega), second harmonic of the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is isolated, the signal of a 5G N79 frequency band is radiated and interfered through the signal passage of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, and if the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is detected to be in the closed state, whether the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is detected to be in the transmitting state (Wi-Fi 5G TX) or not, if the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is detected to be in a transmitting state, the first switch unit (SW1) is controlled to be switched to a Transmitting (TX) path of the frequency band signal, and if the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is detected not to be in the transmitting state, the stationary end of the first switch unit (SW1) is controlled to be switched to be connected with the second movable end, namely, to be switched to a Receiving (RX) path of the frequency band signal.

The logic control table for controlling the first switch unit by the software coexistence algorithm is shown in table 1:

Optionally, the sub-switches of the second switch unit 6 are single-ended multi-throw switches.

In this embodiment, the sub-switches of the second switch unit 6 are single-ended multi-throw switches, and the third state and the fourth state of the second switch unit 6 can be switched by connecting the fixed terminals of the sub-switches to different movable terminals.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the sub-switches of the second switch unit 6 are single-ended double-throw switches. When the stationary end of each sub-switch is connected with the first movable end, the second switch unit 6 is in a third state, namely, a conducting state; when the stationary end of each sub-switch is connected to the second moving end, the second switch unit 6 is in the fourth state, i.e., the isolated state.

It should be noted that, assuming that the first switch unit 4 is a single-ended double-throw switch, as shown in fig. 2, when the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to the first movable end of the first switch unit 4 or the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is connected to the second movable end of the first switch unit 4, correspondingly, the stationary end of the sub-switch of the second switch unit 6 is connected to the first movable end of the next sub-switch, and certainly, if the sub-switch is used as the last sub-switch, the stationary end thereof is connected to the combiner 5 and is in a conducting state; when the stationary end of the first switch unit 4 is idle, the stationary end of each sub-switch of the second switch unit 6 is connected with the second movable end of the sub-switch correspondingly, and is in an isolated state.

Optionally, one end of the sub-switch of the second switch unit 6 is connected to the second resistor 8 connected to ground.

In this embodiment of the application, the second moving end of each sub-switch of the second switch unit 6 is connected to the second resistor 8, and when the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in the operating state, the second switch unit 6 is controlled to switch to the fourth state, that is, each sub-switch is connected to the second resistor 8, so as to isolate the second harmonic of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band signal from radiating the signal in the interference 5G N79 frequency band through the signal path in the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band.

Optionally, the resistance of the second resistor 8 is 50 Ω.

The following describes the process of controlling the switching state of the first switch unit by the software coexistence algorithm with reference to fig. 4 and table 2:

firstly, detecting working states of a Wi-Fi signal and a 5G NR frequency band, if detecting that a signal of a 5G N79 frequency band is in a transmitting state (5G N79 TX), detecting whether a signal of a Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in a closed state (Wi-Fi 2.4G OFF), if detecting that the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is not in the closed state, namely in the working state, controlling a stationary end of a first switch unit (SW1) to be switched to a channel (an isolated state) connected with a first resistor (50 omega), correspondingly, all sub-switches (SW 2-SW) of a second switch unit to be switched to a channel connected with a second resistor (50 omega), and isolating a second harmonic of the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band to radiate a signal of a disturbing frequency band 5G N79 through the signal channel of the Fi-5G frequency band, if the Wi-Fi2.4G band signal is detected to be in the off state, detecting whether the Wi-Fi 5G band signal is in the transmitting state (Wi-Fi 5G TX), but it should be noted that, no matter whether the Wi-Fi 5G band signal is in the transmitting state, the stationary terminal of the first switch unit (SW1) is controlled to be switched to be connected to the first movable terminal, that is, to be switched to the Transmitting (TX) path of the band signal, and correspondingly, all the sub-switches (SW 2-SW) of the second switch unit are switched to the ON state (ON state), except that, when the Wi-Fi 5G band signal is detected not to be in the transmitting state, the situation that the Wi-Fi 5G antenna (LNA) is damaged due to the fact that the injected power is too large, by controlling the first switch unit (SW1) to be switched to a Transmitting (TX) path of the frequency band signal, all the sub-switches (SW 2-SW) of the second switch unit are switched to be in a conducting state (ON state), the LNA is prevented from being damaged due to the fact that Wi-Fi 5G LNA power is too large, and the purpose of protecting the Wi-Fi 5G LNA is achieved. Under the condition that a signal of a 5G N79 frequency band is detected not to be in a transmitting state (5G N79 TX), whether a signal of a Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is in an OFF state (Wi-Fi 2.4G OFF) or not is detected, if the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is detected not to be in the OFF state, namely in an operating state, the stationary end of the first switch unit (SW1) is controlled to be switched to a channel (isolation state) connected with the first resistor (50 omega), correspondingly, all sub switches (SW 2-SW) of the second switch unit are switched to a channel connected with the second resistor (50 omega), and the second harmonic of the isolated Fi2.4G frequency band signal radiates a signal of an interference 5G N79 frequency band through the signal channel of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band, if the signal of the Wi-Fi2.4G frequency band is detected to be in the closed state, whether the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is in the transmitting state (Wi-Fi 5G TX) is detected, if the signal of the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band is detected to be in the transmitting state, the first switching unit (SW1) is controlled to switch to the Transmit (TX) path of the band signal, correspondingly, all the sub-switches (SW 2-SW) of the second switch unit are switched to a conducting state (ON state), if the Wi-Fi 5G frequency band signal is detected not to be in a transmitting state, the stationary end of the first switch unit (SW1) is controlled to be switched to be connected with the second movable end, i.e. to the Reception (RX) path of the band signal, and correspondingly, the respective sub-switches (SW 2-SW) of the second switching unit are all switched to the ON state (ON state).
