In the following description, for purposes of explanation, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.

As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a radio frequency switch module, which includes a substrate 10, a radio frequency switch chip 20 disposed on the substrate 10, an antenna port 30, and a transmission line network 40; the rf switch chip 20 includes an rf switch circuit 21, and the rf switch circuit 21 includes a first switch unit 211 and a second switch unit 212; the transmission line network 40 includes a first transmission line 41 and a second transmission line 42, the first transmission line 41 coupling the antenna port 30 to a first end of the first switch unit 211, the second transmission line 42 coupling the antenna port 30 to a first end of the second switch unit 212, a second end of the first switch unit 211 being connected to the first signal transmission path RF1, and a second end of the second switch unit 212 being connected to the second signal transmission path RF 2.

The rf switch chip 20 is a chip including an rf switch circuit 21. Wherein, the rf switch circuit 21 can support the transmission of different rf signals. Illustratively, the radio frequency switch circuit 21 may support the transmission of different frequencies, different powers, or other different radio frequency signals. The rf switch circuit 21 may selectively receive an rf input signal in a certain frequency band, or may selectively output an rf amplified signal in a certain frequency band. For example: the rf switch circuit 21 may support transmission of an rf signal of n77 band, an rf signal of n78 band, or an rf signal of n79 band in the 5G high band. Alternatively, the rf switch circuit 21 may also support transmission of a 2G band rf signal, a 3G band rf signal, or a 4G band rf signal.

The transmission line network 40 is a network formed by transmission lines in the rf switch module for connecting the rf switch chip 20 and the antenna port 30. The transmission line network 40 is composed of a number of transmission lines. Alternatively, the number of transmission lines in the transmission line network 40 may be the same as the number of switch units in the radio frequency switch circuit, or the number of transmission lines in the transmission line network 40 may be greater than the number of switch units in the radio frequency switch circuit. Here, the first signal transmission path RF1 and the second signal transmission path RF2 refer to paths for transmitting radio frequency signals. The first signal transmission path RF1 and the second signal transmission path RF2 are two independent signal transmission paths. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the frequency band of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the first signal transmission path RF1 is different from the frequency band of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the second signal transmission path RF 2. For example: the first signal transmission path RF1RF is used to transmit radio frequency signals of a first frequency band, and the second signal transmission path RF2 is used to transmit radio frequency signals of a second frequency band. For example: the first frequency band may be an n77 frequency band and the second frequency band may be an n79 frequency band.

As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, the rf switch circuit 21 includes a first switch unit 211 and a second switch unit 212. For example, the first switch unit 211 is a first single pole single throw (SPT) switch element S1, and the second switch unit 212 is a second single pole single throw (SPT) switch element S2. The first switch unit 211 and the second switch unit 212 may be rf switches formed by stacking a plurality of transistors, but are not limited thereto, and may be any existing rf switches.

The first switch unit 211 is configured to transmit the radio frequency signal in the first signal transmission path RF1 to the antenna port 30, or transmit the radio frequency signal received by the antenna port 30 to the first signal transmission path RF 1. The second switching unit 212 is used to transmit the radio frequency signal in the second signal transmission path RF2 to the antenna port 30, or alternatively, transmit the radio frequency signal received by the antenna port 30 to the second signal transmission path RF 2.

Specifically, the rf switch module includes a substrate 10, an rf switch chip 20 disposed on the substrate 10, an antenna port 30, and a transmission line network 40. As an example, the transmission line network 40 is used for connecting the antenna port 30 and the rf switch chip 20 to transmit the rf signal received by the antenna port 30 to the rf switch chip 20, or transmit the rf signal output by the rf switch chip 20 to the antenna port 30, so as to implement receiving and transmitting the rf signal.

In a specific embodiment, the rf switch circuit 21 includes a first switch unit 211 and a second switch unit 212, and the rf switch circuit 21 can perform frequency selection on the transmitted rf signal through the first switch unit 211 and the second switch unit 212. As an example, since the first switching unit 211 is connected to the first signal transmission path RF1, the first signal transmission path RF1 is used to transmit radio frequency signals of a first frequency band; the second switching unit 212 is connected to a second signal transmission path RF2, and the second signal transmission path RF2 is used to transmit radio frequency signals of a second frequency band. For example: the first frequency band may be an n77 frequency band and the second frequency band may be an n79 frequency band. Therefore, when the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band needs to be transmitted, the first switch unit 211 is turned on, the second switch unit 212 is turned off, and the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band passes through the first signal transmission path RF1 and then is transmitted to the antenna port 30 through the first switch unit 211 and the first transmission line 41, or when the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band needs to be received, the first switch unit 211 is turned on, the second switch unit 212 is turned off, and the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band received by the antenna port 30 passes through the first transmission line 41 and the first switch unit 211 and then is transmitted to the first signal transmission path RF 1.

Similarly, when the radio frequency signal of the second frequency band needs to be transmitted, the second switch unit 212 is turned on, the first switch unit 211 is turned off, and the radio frequency signal of the second frequency band passes through the second signal transmission path RF2 and then is transmitted to the antenna port 30 through the second switch unit 212 and the second transmission line 42, or when the radio frequency signal of the second frequency band needs to be received, the second switch unit 212 is turned on, the first switch unit 211 is turned off, and the radio frequency signal of the second frequency band received by the antenna port 30 passes through the second transmission line 42 and the second switch unit 212 and then is transmitted to the second signal transmission path RF 2.

Specifically, the transmission line network 40 includes a first transmission line 41 and a second transmission line 42, the first transmission line 41 coupling the antenna port 30 to a first end of the first switch unit 211, the second transmission line 42 coupling the antenna port 30 to a first end of the second switch unit 212, a second end of the first switch unit 211 being connected to the first signal transmission path RF1, and a second end of the second switch unit 212 being connected to the second signal transmission path RF 2.

In a specific embodiment, when the first switch unit 211 is turned on and the second switch unit 212 is turned off, a transmission channel is formed among the antenna port 30, the first transmission line 41, the first switch unit 211 and the first signal transmission path RF1 for transmitting the radio frequency signal of a certain frequency band, and since the second switch unit 212 is in the off state at this time, the second switch unit 212 in the off state can be equivalent to a capacitor to the ground, and the second transmission line 42 can be equivalent to an inductor, therefore, the second switch unit 212 in the off state and the correspondingly connected second transmission line 42 can be equivalent to form an LC series resonant circuit, and the LC series resonant circuit can suppress the harmonic signal in the radio frequency switch circuit 21.

Similarly, when the second switch unit 212 is turned on and the first switch unit 211 is turned off, a transmission channel is formed among the antenna port 30, the second transmission line 42, the second switch unit 212 and the second signal transmission path RF2 for transmitting the RF signal of a certain frequency band, and since the first switch unit 211 is in the off state at this time, the first switch unit 211 in the off state can be equivalent to a capacitance to the ground, and the first transmission line 41 can be equivalent to an inductance, the first switch unit 211 in the off state and the correspondingly connected first transmission line 41 can be equivalent to a LC series resonant circuit capable of suppressing the harmonic signal in the RF switch circuit 21.

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the LC series resonant circuit formed by the first switch unit 211 and the first transmission line 41 in the radio frequency switch circuit 21 in the off state or the LC series resonant circuit formed by the second switch unit 212 and the second transmission line 42 in the off state is used to suppress the harmonic signal in the radio frequency switch circuit 21, and under the condition that no additional harmonic signal suppression circuit is needed, the harmonic signal in the radio frequency switch circuit 21 is effectively suppressed, so as to reduce the occupied area of the radio frequency switch circuit 21 and reduce the complexity of the radio frequency switch circuit 21, and further improve the overall performance of the radio frequency switch circuit 21.

In the present embodiment, the rf switch module includes a substrate 10, an rf switch chip 20 disposed on the substrate 10, an antenna port 30, and a transmission line network 40; the rf switch chip 20 includes an rf switch circuit 21, and the rf switch circuit 21 includes a first switch unit 211 and a second switch unit 212; the transmission line network 40 includes a first transmission line 41 and a second transmission line 42, the first transmission line 41 couples the antenna port 30 to the first end of the first switch unit 211, the second transmission line 42 couples the antenna port 30 to the first end of the second switch unit 212, the second end of the first switch unit 211 is connected to the first signal transmission path RF1, and the second end of the second switch unit 212 is connected to the second signal transmission path RF2, so that the harmonic signals in the radio frequency switch circuit 21 can be effectively suppressed without adding an additional harmonic signal suppression circuit, the occupied area of the radio frequency switch circuit 21 can be reduced, the complexity of the radio frequency switch circuit 21 can be reduced, and the overall performance of the radio frequency switch circuit 21 can be improved.

In one embodiment, the inductance value of the second transmission line 42 is inversely related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211. Specifically, when the first switch unit 211 is turned on and the second switch unit 212 is turned off, the turned-off second switch unit 212 and the second transmission line 42 form an LC series resonant circuit, which can suppress a harmonic signal doped in the radio frequency signal transmitted through the first switch unit 211.

In an embodiment, when the first switch unit 211 and the second switch unit 212 of the rf switch circuit 21 are turned on and off, the capacitance C exhibited by the second switch unit 212 in the off state is fixed, so that the common value is calculated according to the resonant frequencyFormula (II):

wherein. 2fo is the resonant frequency of the harmonic signal to be suppressed by the LC, L is the inductance value exhibited by the second transmission line 42, and C is the capacitance value exhibited by the second switching unit 212 in the off state, the inductance value L exhibited by the second transmission line 42 is inversely related to the resonant frequency 2fo of the harmonic signal to be suppressed, that is, if the resonant frequency 2fo of the harmonic signal to be suppressed is larger, the inductance value L exhibited by the second transmission line 42 is smaller; if the resonant frequency 2fo of the harmonic signal to be suppressed is small, the inductance L exhibited by the second transmission line 42 needs to be large. Since in a specific application the resonance frequency of the harmonic signal is related to the frequency of the radio frequency signal (fundamental signal) transmitted on the first switching unit 211. Such as: if the frequency of the rf signal transmitted through the first switch unit 211 is fo, the harmonic signal to be suppressed has a resonant frequency of 2fo, 3fo, or 4fo, and so on, and thus it is found that the inductance value exhibited by the second transmission line 42 is inversely related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted through the first switch unit 211. When the frequency fo of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211 is larger, that is, the resonant frequency of the corresponding harmonic signal is also larger than 2fo, 3fo or 4fo, the inductance L exhibited by the second transmission line 42 needs to be smaller. When the frequency fo of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211 is small, that is, the resonant frequency of the harmonic signal is also small, i.e., 2fo, 3fo or 4fo, the inductance L exhibited by the second transmission line 42 needs to be large.

In a specific embodiment, since the inductance value exhibited by the second transmission line 42 is related to the length of the second transmission line 42, the longer the length of the second transmission line 42 is, the greater the inductance value exhibited by the second transmission line 42 is, so that the length of the second transmission line 42 can be adjusted to suppress the harmonic signal doped in the radio frequency signal transmitted on the first switch unit 211 due to the equivalent resonant circuit of the second switch unit 212 and the second transmission line 42 in the off state. It should be noted that, the suppression of the harmonic signals of any order is also selected according to the actual situation, for example: the resonance point of the resonance circuit equivalent to the second switching unit 212 and the second transmission line 42 in the off state is made to be 2fo to suppress the 2fo harmonic signal.

Likewise, the inductance value of the first transmission line 41 is inversely related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the second switch unit 212. Specifically, when the second switch unit 212 is turned on and the first switch unit 211 is turned off, the turned-off first switch unit 211 and the first transmission line 41 form an LC series resonant circuit, and the LC series resonant circuit can suppress a harmonic signal doped in the radio frequency signal transmitted through the second switch unit 212.

It should be noted that a specific principle that the inductance value of the first transmission line 41 and the frequency of the radio frequency signal transmitted on the second switch unit 212 are in a negative correlation is the same as a specific principle that the inductance value of the second transmission line 42 and the frequency of the radio frequency signal transmitted on the first switch unit 211 are in a negative correlation, and redundant description is omitted here.

In this embodiment, the inductance value of the first transmission line 41 is inversely related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the second switch unit 212; the inductance value presented by the first transmission line 41 is reasonably set to adapt to harmonic suppression of harmonic signals doped with radio-frequency signals of different frequency bands; the inductance value of the second transmission line 42 is inversely related to the frequency of the harmonic signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211, and the inductance value of the second transmission line 42 is reasonably set to adapt to harmonic suppression of the harmonic signal doped with the radio frequency signals of different frequency bands.

As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment, the rf switch circuit 21 further includes a third switch unit 213; the transmission line network 40 further comprises a third transmission line 43; the third transmission line 43 couples the antenna port 30 to a first end of the third switching unit 213, and a second end of the third switching unit 213 is connected to the third signal transmission path RF 3.

The third switching unit 213 may be a radio frequency switch formed by stacking a plurality of transistors, but is not limited thereto, and may be any existing radio frequency switch. The third signal transmission path RF3 refers to a path for transmitting a radio frequency signal. The third signal transmission path RF3, the first signal transmission path RF1, and the second signal transmission path RF2 are independent transmission paths.

Specifically, the third transmission line 43 couples the antenna port 30 to a first end of the third switching unit 213, a second end of the third switching unit 213 is connected to the third signal transmission path RF3, and a second end of the third switching unit 213 is connected to the third signal transmission path RF3, thereby realizing reception and transmission of radio frequency signals.

In one embodiment, when the third switching unit 213 is turned on, and the first and second switching units 211 and 212 are turned off, a transmission channel is formed among the antenna port 30, the third transmission line 43, the third switching unit 213, and the third signal transmission path RF3, for transmitting a radio frequency signal of a certain frequency band, since the first and second switching units 211 and 212 are in the off state at this time, the first and second switching units 211 and 212 in the off state may be equivalent to a capacitance to ground, the first and second transmission lines 41 and 42 may be equivalent to an inductance, accordingly, the first switching unit 211 and the corresponding connected first transmission line 41 in the open state, and the second switching element 212 and the correspondingly connected second transmission line 42 are equivalent to forming an LC series resonant circuit, the LC series resonant circuit is capable of suppressing harmonic signals in the radio frequency switch circuit 21.

In one embodiment, when the first switching unit 211 is turned on, the second switching unit 212 and the third switching unit 213 are turned off, a transmission channel is formed between the antenna port 30, the first transmission line 41, the first switching element 211, and the first signal transmission path RF1, for transmitting radio frequency signals of a certain frequency band, since the second switching unit 212 and the third switching unit 213 are in the off state at this time, the second switching unit 212 and the third switching unit 213 in the off state may be equivalent to a capacitance to ground, the second transmission line 42 and the third transmission line 43 may be equivalent to an inductance, the second switching element 212 in the open state and the correspondingly connected second transmission line 42, and the third switching unit 213 and the correspondingly connected third transmission line 43 are equivalent to forming an LC series resonant circuit, the LC series resonant circuit is capable of suppressing harmonic signals in the radio frequency switch circuit 21.

In this embodiment, the rf switch circuit 21 further includes a third switch unit 213; the transmission line network 40 further comprises a third transmission line 43; the third transmission line 43 couples the antenna port 30 to the first end of the third switching unit 213, the second end of the third switching unit 213 is connected to the third signal transmission path RF3, and under the combined action of the first switching unit 211, the second switching unit 212, and the third switching unit 213, not only can the transmission of more radio frequency signals in different frequency bands be supported, but also the harmonic signals in the radio frequency switching circuit 21 can be suppressed by using the series resonant circuit equivalent to the switching unit and the corresponding transmission line in the off state, so as to improve the overall performance of the radio frequency switching circuit 21.

In this embodiment, the inductance value of the third transmission line 43 is negatively related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211, or the inductance value of the third transmission line 43 is negatively related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the second switch unit 212. The inductance value exhibited by the third transmission line 43 is set reasonably to adapt to harmonic suppression of harmonic signals doped with radio-frequency signals of different frequency bands.

The selection switch network 60 may support transmission of radio frequency signals in different frequency bands, that is, the selection switch network 60 may selectively receive a radio frequency input signal in a certain frequency band, or may selectively output a radio frequency amplified signal in a certain frequency band. For example, the rf switch circuit 21 may support transmission of a 1G band rf signal, a 2G band rf signal, a 3G band rf signal, a 4G band rf signal, a 5G band rf signal, and the like. The first selection switch branch 61 and the second selection switch branch 62 refer to branches for transmitting radio frequency signals. The first selection switch branch 61 and the second selection switch branch 62 are two independent transmission branches. Preferably, in this embodiment, the frequency band of the rf signal transmitted by the first selection switch branch 61 is different from the frequency band of the rf signal transmitted by the second selection switch branch 62. For example: the first selection switch branch 61 is a path for transmitting a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band, and the second selection switch branch 62 is a path for transmitting a radio frequency signal of a second frequency band. For example: the first frequency band may be an n77 frequency band and the second frequency band may be an n79 frequency band.

In a specific embodiment, a first terminal of the first selection switch branch 61 is coupled to the common port, a first terminal of the second selection switch branch 62 is coupled to the common port, the common port is connected to the antenna port 30, a second terminal of the first selection switch branch 61 is connected to the first signal transmission path RF1, a second terminal of the selection switch branch is connected to the second signal transmission path RF2, the first selection switch branch 61 includes the first switch unit 211 and the second inductor L61 which are connected in series, and the second selection switch branch 62 includes the second switch unit 212 and the third inductor L62 which are connected in series. When the first switch unit 211 is turned on and the second switch unit 212 is turned off, a transmission channel is formed among the antenna port 30, the first switch unit 211 and the third inductor L62 for transmitting the rf signal of a certain frequency band, and since the second switch unit 212 in the off state is capacitive, the second switch unit 212 and the third inductor L62 in the off state form an LC series resonant circuit capable of suppressing the harmonic signal in the rf switch circuit 21.

In this embodiment, the radio frequency switch circuit 21 includes a selection switch network 60, the selection switch network 60 includes a common port, a first selection switch branch 61 and a second selection switch branch 62, a first end of the first selection switch branch 61 is coupled to the common port, a first end of the second selection switch branch 62 is coupled to the common port, the common port is connected to the antenna port 30, a second end of the first selection switch branch 61 is connected to the first signal transmission path RF1, and a second end of the selection switch branch is connected to the second signal transmission path RF 2; the first selection switch branch 61 includes a first switch unit 211 and a second inductor connected in series; the first selection switch branch 61 includes a second switch unit 212 and a third inductor connected in series to suppress a harmonic signal included in the radio frequency signal received from the antenna port 30, so as to improve the quality of the radio frequency signal input to the selection switch network 60, or suppress a harmonic signal included in the radio frequency signal transmitted from the selection switch network 60, so as to improve the quality of the radio frequency signal transmitted to the antenna port 30, thereby improving the overall performance of the radio frequency switch circuit 21.

In an embodiment, the second inductor is negatively correlated with the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the second selection switch branch 62, and the third inductor L62 is negatively correlated with the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211 of the first selection switch branch 61.

In an embodiment, the third inductor L62 is for example inversely related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211 of the first selection switch branch 61. Specifically, when the first switch unit 211 is turned on and the second switch unit 212 is turned off, since the capacitance C exhibited by the second switch unit 212 in the off state is fixed, the formula is calculated according to the resonant frequency:

wherein. 2fo is required for LCThe resonant frequency of the harmonic signal, L is the inductance value exhibited by the second transmission line 42, and C is the capacitance value exhibited by the second switch unit 212 in the off state, and the inductance value L of the third inductor L62 is negatively correlated with the resonant frequency 2fo of the harmonic signal to be suppressed, that is, if the resonant frequency 2fo of the harmonic signal to be suppressed is higher, the inductance value L exhibited by the third inductor L62 is smaller, and if the resonant frequency 2fo of the harmonic signal to be suppressed is lower, the inductance value L exhibited by the third inductor L62 is larger. Since in a specific application the resonance frequency of the harmonic signal is related to the frequency of the radio frequency signal (fundamental signal) transmitted on the first switching unit 211. Such as: if the frequency of the rf signal transmitted through the first switch unit 211 is fo, the harmonic signal to be suppressed has a resonant frequency of 2fo, 3fo, or 4fo, and so on, and therefore the inductance of the third inductor L62 is inversely related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted through the first switch unit 211 of the first selection switch branch 61. When the frequency fo of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211 is larger, that is, the resonant frequency of the corresponding harmonic signal is also larger than 2fo, 3fo or 4fo, the inductance L of the first selection switch branch 61 needs to be smaller. When the frequency fo of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211 is small, that is, the resonant frequency of the corresponding harmonic signal is also small, i.e., 2fo, 3fo or 4fo, the inductance L of the first selective switch branch 61 needs to be large.

In this embodiment, the third inductor L62 is inversely related to the frequency of the rf signal transmitted by the first switch unit 211, and the inductance of the third inductor L62 is reasonably set to adapt to harmonic suppression of harmonic signals doped with the rf signals of different frequency bands.

Similarly, the specific principle that the frequency of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the second inductor and the frequency of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the second selection switch branch 62 are in a negative correlation is the same as the specific principle that the frequency of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the third inductor and the frequency of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the first selection switch branch 61 are in a negative correlation, and redundant description is omitted here. The inductance value of the second inductor can be reasonably set to adapt to harmonic suppression of harmonic signals doped with radio-frequency signals of different frequency bands.
