People can learn, entertain and the like through the terminal equipment. Before the terminal device leaves the factory, radio frequency testing is required to detect whether the radio frequency performance of the terminal device meets the requirements. The radio frequency performance of the terminal equipment can be sold to users for use only when meeting the requirements.
Currently, a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in a terminal device is installed with a radio frequency test socket, and a test device tests the radio frequency performance of the terminal device through the radio frequency test socket.

The embodiment of the present application provides a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), which includes a circuit board body, and the power detection circuit can be integrated on the circuit board body. In addition, the processor 110 in the terminal device 100 may also be integrated on the circuit board body.
In some embodiments, the printed circuit board may be a motherboard of the terminal device 100.
In order to implement calibration test on a radio frequency channel in a radio frequency module, an embodiment of the present application provides a power detection circuit, as shown in fig. 2, the power detection circuit includes:
a first rf module 20 including a first coupling channel 21 and a first connection end 20a; the first port of the first coupling channel 21 is coupled with the first connection terminal 20 a.
A second rf module 30, including a second coupling channel 31 and a plurality of second connecting terminals 30a; a first port of the second coupling channel 31 is coupled to each second connection terminal 30a.
The plurality of rf test sockets 40 are correspondingly coupled to the rf test sockets 40 respectively at the first connection end 20a and each of the second connection ends 30a of the plurality of second connection ends 30a.
A test receiver 50 for measuring the power of the first coupling path 21 and the second coupling path 31.
The single pole, multiple throw switch 60 includes a plurality of moving terminals 60a and stationary terminals 60b. The plurality of moving terminals 60a of the single-pole multi-throw switch 60 are coupled to the second port of the first coupling channel 21 and the second port of the second coupling channel 31, and the stationary terminal 60b of the single-pole multi-throw switch 60 is coupled to a test receiver (MRx) 50.
Fig. 2 shows that the structures of the first rf module 20 and the second rf module 30 are only schematic, and fig. 2 takes the example that the main diversity of the first rf module 20 and the main diversity of the second rf module 30 have 4 rf channels, each rf channel needs to be provided with an rf test socket 40 correspondingly, and 4 rf test sockets 40 are needed for detection.
However, since the rf test socket 40 only performs calibration test on the rf channel connected thereto, the test socket no longer performs the test function after completing the factory calibration and only performs the signal connection function, the function is equivalent to the signal routing in the circuit board body, and the rf test socket 40 has a large occupied area and a high price. Therefore, the presence of the rf test socket 40 increases the PCB area to some extent, increasing the cost of the product. Therefore, some products may omit the rf test sockets 40 corresponding to the diversity or main set, and the occupied area and cost of the rf test sockets 40 may be reduced by reducing the number of the rf test sockets 40. However, since the partial diversity or the main set is not provided with the rf test socket 40, the rf test socket 40 included in the power detection circuit only acts on one rf channel, so that the rf channel not provided with the rf test socket 40 does not undergo a calibration test before leaving the factory, and the power accuracy of the main set or the diversity not subjected to the calibration test is low, which affects the power accuracy performance of the terminal device 100, and even masks the rf problem of the terminal device 100.

In the driving process of the power detection circuit, calibration detection can be performed under two scenes.
The first scenario is that calibration detection is performed at the station of the whole machine.
After the printed circuit board provided with the power detection circuit is assembled in a terminal device, as shown in fig. 4, the terminal device includes an antenna, and the plurality of test points Q and the plurality of radio frequency test sockets 40 are each coupled to a different antenna.
That is, one test point Q is coupled to one antenna, one rf test socket 40 is coupled to one antenna, and one antenna is coupled to only one test point Q or one rf test socket 40.
In the second scenario, calibration and detection are performed at a single board station.
That is, the calibration test is directly performed on the printed circuit board provided with the above-described power detection circuit.
In this case, the test point Q and the load at the end of the rf test socket 40 are close to open, and during calibration detection, the load connected with the matching circuit is connected to the power detection circuit to provide a matching load for the path. So that the input impedance at the test point Q and the rf test socket 40 is satisfactory (e.g., approximately 50 ohms).
Wherein in some embodiments the load is mounted on a separate tooling plate without adding additional circuitry to the terminal device 100.
Based on this, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 5A, the power detection circuit further includes a detection auxiliary module 70, and the detection auxiliary module 70 is coupled to the test point Q and the load for connecting the load to the test point Q.
As for the detection auxiliary module, as shown in fig. 5A, the detection auxiliary module 70 includes an inductor L, a capacitor C, and an antenna spring 71.
One end of the inductor L is coupled with the test point Q, and the other end of the inductor L is coupled with the reference ground.
One end of the capacitor C is coupled to the test point Q, and the other end of the capacitor C is coupled to the antenna spring 71.
The antenna dome 71 is used for coupling with a load.
And regarding the load, under the scene of the station of the whole machine, the load is the antenna. In a single board station scene, the load can be any equivalent matching circuit.
It should be noted that the sizes of the inductor L and the capacitor C in the auxiliary detection module 70 coupled to the test point Q and the rf test socket 40 are not limited to be the same, and may be different, and may be set reasonably as required.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5B, the matching circuit includes a first inductance L1, a second inductance L2, and an antenna tuner 80.
The first inductor L1 has one end coupled to the connection point O and one end coupled to the reference ground. The second inductor L2 has one end coupled to the antenna tuner 80 and one end coupled to the reference ground. One end of the antenna tuner 80 is also coupled to the connection point O. The matching circuit is coupled to the antenna spring 71 through the connection point O.
Based on this, an embodiment of the present application further provides a driving method of the power detection circuit, including:
s1, the radio frequency test socket 40 receives a first test power signal P1, the first test power signal P1 passes through the second radio frequency channel 32 and the first multi-pole multi-throw switch 61 to reach the first radio frequency channel 22 (a trace of a thick solid line in fig. 6), and a first received signal W1 of the test point Q is detected; the difference X1 between the first received signal W1 and the first test power signal P1 is obtained to obtain the line loss between the rf test socket 40 and the test point Q.
For example, P1=10dbm, w1=2dbm, and x1=8dbm.
In step S1, the second rf channel 32 can be any one of the second rf channels 32 in the second rf module 30, and is controlled by the second multi-pole multi-throw switch 34 to be selected. The first rf channel 22 can be any one of the first rf channels 22 in the first rf module 20, and is selected by the second single-pole-multiple-throw switch 24.
The first test power signal P1 may be transmitted by an external device or the processor 110 in the terminal device 100. The signal at the test point Q is detected, for example, by a meter. The process of obtaining the difference X1 between the first received signal W1 and the first test power signal P1 can be performed by the processor 110. X1 may be stored in the memory of the terminal device 100 described above, for example.
S2, the radio frequency test socket 40 receives a second test power signal P2, the second test power signal P2 passes through the second radio frequency channel 32 and the first multi-pole multi-throw switch 61 to the first radio frequency channel 22, and then passes through the first coupling channel 21 and the first multi-pole multi-throw switch 61 to the test receiver 50 (the trace of the bold dot-dash line in fig. 6), detects a second receiving signal W2 of the test receiver 50, and establishes a mapping relationship between the test power signal P of the test point Q and the second receiving signal W2.
For example, P2=0dbm, w2= -10dbm, P = -8dBm.
Wherein, in step S2, the second radio frequency channel 32 and the first radio frequency channel 22 are the same as in step S1, P = P2-X1.
That is, the rf test socket 40 receives the second test power signal P2, and the second received signal W2 is received at the test receiver 50, and the line loss between the rf test socket 40 and the test point Q is X1. Then, the second test power signal P2 received by the rf test socket 40 minus the line loss X1 between the rf test socket 40 and the test point Q is equivalent to the test power signal P at the test point Q (P = P2-X1). So that a mapping relationship between the test power signal P at the test point Q and the second received signal W2 can be obtained.
And S3, repeatedly receiving different second test power signals P2 by the radio frequency test base 40, and establishing a mapping relation table of the different test power signals P and the second receiving signals W2 of the test point Q.

For example, P3=10, W3= -10.
The preset power signal P3 may be transmitted from the first power amplifier 25 in the third rf channel 22, for example.
S5, different preset power signals P3 are repeatedly transmitted to the test receiver 50 through the first coupling channel 21, and a mapping relation table between the preset power signals P3 and the third received signal W3 is established.
For example table 2 below.

That is, the preset power signals P3 of the gears are respectively calibrated.
When the preset power signal P3 is transmitted from the first power amplifier 25 in the third rf channel 22, which time is transmitted from which first power amplifier 25 can be controlled by the second single-pole multi-throw switch 24.
S6, establishing a mapping relation table of the test power signal P and the preset power signal P3 according to the mapping relation table of the test power signal P and the second receiving signal W2 and the mapping relation table of the preset power signal P3 and the third receiving signal W3.
Since the second received signal W2 and the third received signal W3 are both received signals of the test receiver 50, when the values of W2 and W3 are the same, a mapping relationship between the test power signal P and the preset power signal P3 can be established.
For example, according to tables 1 and 2, three sets of values W2 and W3 are the same, and a mapping table of the test power signal P and the predetermined power signal P3 is established as shown in table 3 below.

Thereby completing calibration of one rf channel in the first rf module 20. By repeating the above process, calibration of each rf channel in the first rf module 20 can be completed.
It will be appreciated that each time which radio frequency channel is selected for calibration, it may be controlled by the first single pole, multiple throw switch 62.
The calibration of the rf channel in the second rf module 30 can be directly completed by the rf test socket 40, for example, the second power amplifier 35 outputs a power signal, and the rf test socket 40 directly detects the received signal to complete the calibration, which is not described herein again.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the rf test socket 40 coupled to the first rf module 20 is omitted, so that a channel in the first rf module 20 and a channel in the second rf module 30 form a channel therebetween. The calibration test for the channel in the first rf module 20 is performed by testing the capability of the receiver 50 and the rf test socket 40 coupled to the second rf module 30. That is, the power detection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application can still perform the calibration test on the rf channel in the first rf module 20, although the rf test socket 40 corresponding to the first rf module 20 is omitted. Therefore, compared with the related art, the power detection circuit provided by the embodiment of the application can omit part of the radio frequency test seats 40, save the board layout area of the PCB, improve the utilization rate of the PCB of the terminal device 100, and simultaneously can not cover the radio frequency problem of certain channels and can not sacrifice the power precision performance of certain channels. Therefore, the power detection circuit provided by the embodiment of the application can meet the requirement that when the PCB layout area of the terminal device 100 is short, the occupied area of the device needs to be reduced under the condition that the functional device is not deleted and the performances such as radio frequency and the like are not lost.

Step S20 is the same as step S2, and reference may be made to the related description, which is not repeated herein.
S30, the preset power signal P3 in the first rf channel 22 passes through the first coupling channel 21 to the test receiver 50, and detects the third receiving signal W3 of the test receiver 50, so as to establish a mapping relationship between the preset power signal P3 and the third receiving signal W3.
For example, P3=10dbm, w3= -10dBm.
S40, establishing a mapping relation between the test power signal P and the preset power signal P3 according to the mapping relation between the test power signal P and the second receiving signal W2 and the mapping relation between the preset power signal P3 and the third receiving signal W3.
For example, P = -8dbm, P3= -10dbm.
S50, detecting a fourth received signal W4 of the rf test socket 40 by the same predetermined power signal P3 in the first rf channel 22 through the first coupling channel 21 and the first multi-pole multi-throw switch 61 to the second rf channel 32 (as shown by the thick solid line in fig. 7); acquiring a difference X2 between the fourth received signal W4 and the test power signal P; to obtain the line loss between the rf test socket 40 and the test point Q.
That is, the preset power signal P3 of step S50 is the same as the preset power signal P3 of step S30.
The process of obtaining the difference X2 between the fourth received signal W4 and the test power signal P includes: acquiring a mapping relation between the fourth received signal W4 and the preset power signal P3, and acquiring a mapping relation between the test power signal P3 and the preset power signal P3 and a mapping relation between the fourth received signal W4 and the preset power signal P3, so as to acquire a difference X2 between the test power signal P and the fourth received signal W4 under the same preset power signal P3 and the same test power signal P3 and the same fourth received signal W4.

S60, different predetermined power signals P3 in the first rf channel 22 repeatedly pass through the first coupling channel 21 and the first multi-pole multi-throw switch 61 to the second rf channel 32, detect the fifth received signal W5 of the rf test socket 40, and establish a mapping relationship table between the predetermined power signals P3 and the test power signals P, where P = W5-X2.

In the driving method of the power detection circuit, in the detection process, the step S30 is executed only once, and only a certain value in the dynamic range of the test receiver 50 needs to be taken, and multiple values are not needed. Therefore, there is a lower requirement for the dynamic range and power accuracy within the dynamic range of the test receiver 50.
In some embodiments of the present application, the first rf module 20 is a low frequency rf module relative to the second rf module 30.
Illustratively, the first rf module 20 is a Low Band (LB) rf module, and the second rf module 30 is a Mid and High Band (MHB) rf module.
Therefore, the radio frequency module not correspondingly provided with the radio frequency test seat 40 needs to be calibrated through the radio frequency module correspondingly provided with the radio frequency test seat 40, and the low-frequency-band signal can pass through the high-frequency-band radio frequency module, but the high-frequency-band signal passes through the low-frequency-band radio frequency module, so that the requirement on the performance of components in the low-frequency-band radio frequency module is high. Therefore, the second rf module 30 is correspondingly provided with the rf test socket 40, and the second rf module 30 is limited to be a middle-high frequency band rf module, which can avoid the problem that the middle-high frequency band signal cannot pass through the second single-pole multi-throw switch 24 and cannot complete the calibration of the rf channel in the second rf module 30 due to the performance of the second single-pole multi-throw switch 24 in the first rf module 20 being not satisfactory, and reduce the requirement for the second single-pole multi-throw switch 24.
It should be noted that the PCB in the terminal device 100 may further include components such as a radio frequency front end module, and the components such as the first coupler and the second coupler in the power detection circuit may be integrated in the radio frequency front end module.
The above description is only an embodiment of the present application, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present disclosure should be covered by the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
