Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, features in the embodiments and the examples may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.
The radio frequency front-end device according to the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a communication device having a wireless communication function, where the communication device may be a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, and various forms of User Equipment (UE) (e.g., a Mobile phone), a Mobile Station (MS), and the like. For convenience of description, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as a communication device.
The various antennas involved in embodiments of the present application may be formed using any suitable type of antenna. For example, each branch antenna may include an antenna with a resonating element formed from the following antenna structure: at least one of an array antenna structure, a loop antenna structure, a patch antenna structure, a slot antenna structure, a helical antenna structure, a strip antenna, a monopole antenna, a dipole antenna, and the like. Different types of antennas may be used for different frequency bands and frequency band combinations. The antenna mentioned in the embodiments of the present application is not particularly limited.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a related art radio frequency system. As shown in fig. 1, the radio frequency system includes:
an antenna assembly comprising a first antenna, a second antenna, a third antenna, and a fourth antenna;
the first radio frequency path is switchably connected with the first antenna or the second antenna and is used for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals of a first frequency band by using the first antenna and receiving radio frequency signals of the first frequency band by using the second antenna;
a second radio frequency path switchably connected to the third antenna or the fourth antenna, and configured to perform transceiving operation on a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band by using the third antenna, and perform receiving operation on the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band by using the fourth antenna;
and the receiving path is connected with the fourth antenna and is used for receiving the radio-frequency signals of the first frequency band.
The radio frequency system shown in fig. 1 may provide a dual-card dual-standby function for radio frequency signals of a first frequency band, where a first radio frequency path is used for data transmission of the card 1, and a second radio frequency path and a receiving path are both used for data transmission of the card 2.
In the process of implementing the present application, the following problems are found in the structure shown in fig. 1, including:
in the rf system shown in fig. 1, the card 2 performs Tx hopping only support, i.e., the transmission path is switched and the reception path is not switched. In the conventional antenna switching, when the transmission path is switched, the corresponding reception path must be switched, that is, the FDD antenna switching is performed.
Because the two paths of emission switching mechanism in the same frequency band cannot be independently arranged on the platform, the first radio frequency path of the card 1 can only adopt a Tx hopping mode to realize antenna switching ASDIV, so that the dual card cannot support FDD mode antenna switching in a DR-DSDS working mode.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an application of the rf system shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the radio frequency system includes:
the LMH LFEM is switchably connected with the first antenna or the second antenna and used for receiving radio frequency signals of an LTE MHB frequency band;
the MHB LPAMID is switchably connected with the first antenna or the second antenna and used for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals in an N41 frequency band;
an endec MMPA (Multi-band Multi-mode Power Amplifier, MMPA) switchably connected to the third antenna or the fourth antenna, for receiving and transmitting a radio frequency signal of an N41 frequency band;
the MHB MIMO LFEM is switchably connected with the third antenna or the fourth antenna and is used for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals of an MHB frequency band;
the LNA BANK is connected with the fourth antenna and used for receiving radio frequency signals of an N41 frequency band;
in the configuration shown in fig. 2, the endec MMPA may be switchably connected to the third antenna or the fourth antenna through the first filter; the LNA BANK may pass through the second filter and the fourth antenna. The first filter and the second filter are used for filtering interference signals from received radio frequency signals and reserving radio frequency signals of an N41 frequency band.
The radio frequency system provided in fig. 2 is an N41 common radio frequency front end architecture in a mobile phone terminal, the antennas used by the card 1 are a first antenna and a second antenna, and the antennas used by the card 2 are a third antenna and a fourth antenna. Two transmit and 4 receive (2T 4R) in the N41 band are supported under an N41 SA (standard alone). In order to improve the user experience, it is required that the N41 SA can support 4-way Antenna Switching (ASDIV) under operation, and in addition, because the ANT4 is far away, an external LNA (Low Noise Amplifier, low Noise) is used to improve the receiving performance of the N41 way.
When the card 1 operates in the N41 SA mode and the card 2 operates in the MHB, if the card 1N41 is switched to the ANT1, the LMH LFEM receives the MHB paging through the ANT1 path at this time, so that the N41 transmission function of the MHB LPAMID collides with the MHB paging reception. At this time, if the card 2MHB is to be supported for paging reception, N41 cannot support 4-way ASDIV, and can only support 2-way antenna switching ASDIV, which finally affects user experience.
Based on the above analysis, the embodiments of the present application provide the following solutions, including:
fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a radio frequency system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the radio frequency system includes:
an antenna assembly comprising a first antenna, a second antenna, a third antenna, and a fourth antenna;
the first radio frequency path is switchably connected with the first antenna or the second antenna and is used for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals of a first frequency band by using the first antenna and receiving radio frequency signals of the first frequency band by using the second antenna;
a second radio frequency path switchably connected to the third antenna or the fourth antenna, and configured to perform transceiving operation on a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band by using the third antenna, and perform receiving operation on the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band by using the fourth antenna;
and the receiving path is switchably connected with the third antenna or the fourth antenna and is used for receiving the radio-frequency signals of the first frequency band.
In the system shown in fig. 3, the radio frequency system can support two-way Transmission (TX) and four-way Reception (RX) of radio frequency signals in a first frequency band, and specifically includes:
a function of transmitting a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band provided by a first antenna;
a function of transmitting a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band provided by a third antenna;
a receiving function of a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band provided by a first antenna;
a receiving function of a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band provided by a second antenna;
receiving function of radio frequency signal of first frequency band provided by third antenna
And the fourth antenna provides a function of receiving the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band.
By comparing fig. 1 and fig. 3, it can be seen that, in the radio frequency system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the receiving path is switchably connected to the third antenna or the fourth antenna.
In the configuration shown in fig. 3, the first rf path may transmit as a signal of the card 1, and the second rf path and the reception path may transmit as a signal of the card 2.
Because the receiving path is switchably connected with the third antenna or the fourth antenna, when the second radio frequency path is switched, the receiving path can also switch antennas along with the second radio frequency path, so that the purpose of executing antenna switching by both the transmitting path and the receiving path is realized, and the antenna switching in an FDD mode is realized.
Further, since the card 2 can support switching of the FDD scheme, the card 1 can also support antenna switching of the FDD scheme, and thus the entire radio frequency system can support antenna switching of the FDD scheme.
The following explains the rf path corresponding to the card 1 in the rf system:
fig. 4 (a) is a first schematic diagram of the rf system shown in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 4 (a), the radio frequency system further includes:
an Antenna Switch Module (ASW), wherein the Antenna Switch Module has a first end and two second ends, wherein the first end is connected to the first rf path, the second end is connected to the first Antenna, and the second end is connected to the second Antenna, for controlling the conduction state of the first end and the second end.

if the other first end and the other second end of the switch control circuit are in a conducting state, the fourth radio frequency channel utilizes the fourth antenna to receive radio frequency signals of a third frequency band.
The second radio frequency path can be switchably connected with the third antenna or the fourth antenna by setting the switch control circuit, and the second radio frequency path can be switchably connected with the third antenna or the fourth antenna.
In addition, when the antenna switching operation is executed, since one second terminal of the switch control circuit is connected to the third antenna and the other second terminal is connected to the fourth antenna, the switch control circuit can realize that the radio frequency path connected to the first terminal is switched between the third antenna and the fourth antenna by controlling the antenna connected to the second terminal.

As shown in fig. 4 (c), the switching control circuit includes a first switching device and a second switching device; wherein the first and second switching devices each have two first terminals and two second terminals; wherein:

if a first end of the first switch device and another second end of the first switch device are in a conducting state, and a first end of the second switch device and another second end of the second switch device are in a conducting state, the second radio frequency path performs a receiving operation of the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band through the fourth antenna.
In the system of fig. 4 (c), the receiving path is switchably connected to the third antenna or the fourth antenna by:
if the other first end of the second switch device and the second end of the second switch device are in a conducting state, and the other first end of the first switch device and the second end of the first switch device are in a conducting state, the second radio frequency path performs a receiving operation of the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band through the third antenna
And if the other first end of the second switch device and the other second end of the second switch device are in a conducting state, the second radio frequency path carries out receiving operation of the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band through the fourth antenna.

And amplifying the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band by using the LAN so as to facilitate the radio frequency module to process the signal and improve the signal processing efficiency.
Optionally, the second rf path and the receiving path are further provided with a filter for filtering an interference signal other than the rf signal in the first frequency band.
The following is an explanation of an application example provided in the embodiment of the present application:
fig. 9 is an architecture diagram of a radio frequency system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, the radio frequency system may implement a dual-card dual-standby function, that is, the radio frequency path corresponding to the first antenna and the second antenna is used as the data transmission path of the card 1; the third antenna and the fourth antenna act as a data transmission link for the card 2.
In the radio frequency paths corresponding to the card 1, the LMHB LFEM is used to implement the fourth radio frequency path, the MHB Lpamid is used to implement the first radio frequency path, and the antenna switch module ASW built in the MHB Lpamid is used to implement the switching between the first antenna and the second antenna;
in the radio frequency paths corresponding to the card 2, the second radio frequency path described above is implemented by using an endec MMPA and an N41 filter, the third radio frequency path described above is implemented by using an MHB MIMO LFEM, and the receiving path described above is implemented by using an LNA Bank, an LNA and an N41 filter.
Either 3P3T or DP4T may be selected as the first switching device and DPDT may be selected as the second switching device.
Controlled from the N41 rf front-end device shown in fig. 9, the 2-way transmit-4 receive (2T 4R) is supported under N41 SA.
Assuming that the receiving path in fig. 9 can only be connected to the fourth antenna, in a DR-DSDS (dual receive dual card dual standby) operating mode, if the card 1 operates in N41 SA (stand alone) only and the card 2 operates in MHB, when the operating antenna of the card 1 is switched from the second antenna to the first antenna, that is, the card 1 operates in a cross state, a collision may occur with MHB paging reception of the card 2, at this time, if the card 2MHB is supported to perform receiving paging, the N41 cannot support 4-way ASDIV, and can only support 2-way antenna switching div, which finally affects user experience.
Because the Antenna Switching (ASDIV) corresponding to the card 2 only supports the Tx hopping mode (TDD band support, transmit path switching, and receive path not switched, which does not reach the FDD mode ASDIV), and the two-path transmit switching mechanism platform in the same frequency band cannot be set independently, the antenna switching corresponding to the card 1 can only implement the antenna switching ASDIV in the Tx hopping mode.
In the application example of the present application, the receiving path in fig. 9 is switchably connected to the third antenna or the fourth antenna, so that the receiving path can perform antenna switching along with the second radio frequency path, and in time, the third radio frequency path receives data, and the radio frequency path in the N41 frequency band is not affected to perform antenna switching operation between the third antenna and the fourth antenna, thereby enabling the card 2 to support FDD mode antenna switching. Further, since the card 2 can support the radio frequency path of the N41 frequency band, the card 1 can also support the FDD mode antenna switching.
Because the radio frequency system can support 4 paths of ASDIV under the dual-card DRDSDS in the N41 frequency band, even if the radio frequency transmitting branch of the first frequency band of the card 2 is switched to be in a cross state, the second receiving branch can still carry out MHB receiving operation, and the problem of resource conflict under the dual-card is solved.
Based on the working principle of N41 under the dual card, the problem that the N41 can not realize 4-antenna switching due to resource conflict under the dual card is solved by using a switch device in the radio frequency front-end device, and the user experience when the antenna performance is reduced due to the fact that the N41 transmitting antenna in the mobile phone terminal is influenced by an external environment (such as when the mobile phone terminal is held by a hand) can be effectively improved.
Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a radio frequency communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 10, the method is applied to the radio frequency system described in any of the above, and includes:
1001, detecting whether the first radio frequency channel has antenna switching operation;
step 1002, if the first radio frequency path is switched from the second antenna to the first antenna, controlling both the second radio frequency path and the receiving path to perform antenna switching operation.
In the dual-card dual-standby system, the first radio frequency path is used as a radio frequency path of the card 1, the first radio frequency path performs a transceiving operation of a radio frequency signal of a first frequency band through the first antenna, and the first radio frequency path performs a receiving operation of the radio frequency signal of the first frequency band through the second antenna.
If the first radio frequency path is switched from the second antenna to the first antenna, it indicates that both the transmission path and the reception path of the first frequency band in the first radio frequency path need to be switched to the first antenna.
If the card 1 is required to support FDD antenna switching, the transmission path and the reception path of the first frequency band in the card 2 are also required to support FDD antenna switching, so that the FDD antenna switching of the card 2 can be realized by controlling the second radio frequency path and the reception path to both perform antenna switching operation. On the premise that the card 2 supports FDD mode antenna switching based on a radio frequency signal of the first frequency band, the card 1 can also support FDD mode antenna switching based on a radio frequency signal of the first frequency band, so that both a transmission path and a reception path of the first frequency band in the first radio frequency path can be switched to the first antenna.
Further, the controlling the second rf path and the receive path to perform an antenna switching operation includes:
and sending a control signal to the switch control circuit, wherein the control signal is used for switching the switch control circuit to be conducted with one of the third antenna and the fourth antenna to be conducted with the other one of the third antenna and the fourth antenna.
The purpose of switching the antenna can be simply and conveniently realized by controlling the conducting state of the switch control circuit.
