Compare with the device among Fig. 1, the multi-mode wireless transceiver of noticing Fig. 2 has and replaces duplexer 108,110 and 112 and the adjustable double multiplexer 208 of T/R switch 156.Just, because control sends and receive channel filtration frequency with corresponding, so only use an adjustable double multiplexer 208 just can replace duplexer 108,110 and 112 and T/R switch 156 with the channel of current business frequency band.
In addition, adjustable double multiplexer 208 is not a band filter, but filters the channel model of transmission and receive channel, thereby has extraordinary channel selectivity.Specifically, when transmission that high Q value channel model is used as adjustable double multiplexer 208 and receive channel filter, adjustable double multiplexer 208 can have the attenuation characteristic and the isolation characteristic of the duplexer that is better than filtered bands.Therefore, there is no need to use passive component, the RF SAW filter 120,122 and 124 on RX path shown in Figure 1 that promptly in the FDD scheme, needs.Just, for with LNA 114,116 and 118 and the received signal of RF receiving unit 126 convert low-frequency band to, RF SAW filter 120,122 that uses between frequency mixer and 124 good isolation and attenuation characteristics owing to adjustable double multiplexer 208 are removed.In addition, because adjustable double multiplexer 208 is channel models, therefore can significantly improve band internal congestion characteristic, and the IIP3 by weakening frequency mixer and the IIP2 characteristic standard of coming attenuation systems, this frequency mixer converts the received signal in the RF receiving unit 220 to low-frequency band.
Multi-mode wireless transceiver about Fig. 1, if RF SAW filter 120,122 and 124 is not used for the multi-mode wireless transceiver, then must be increased in the linear characteristic of frequency mixer in the RF receiving unit 126 greatly, thereby increase electric consumption.On the contrary, although RF SAW filter is not used for the multi-mode wireless transceiver of Fig. 2, adjustable double multiplexer 208 provides suitable filtration.Therefore, do not increase electric consumption.
In addition, under the situation of two kinds of different patterns supporting for example fdd mode and tdd mode and a plurality of service frequency bands, the multi-mode wireless transceiver is shared a RF system, that is, adjustable double multiplexer 208, RF receiving unit 220 and RF send part 222.Therefore, the multi-mode wireless transceiver has for the crucial assembly area that reduces of terminal, low cost, and is applied to terminal in the mode of considering software-defined radio (SDR).
Fig. 5 illustrates the block diagram of RF receiving unit 220 according to an embodiment of the invention.RF receiving unit 220 comprises: frequency mixer 500, adjustable analog filter 502, variable gain amplifier (VGA) 504, analog to digital converter (ADC) 506, digital filter and digital VGA 508 and digital to analog converter (DAC) 510.Adjustable analog filter 502 has different filtration frequency and the gain amplifier that is determined by baseband processing unit 200 with digital filter with digital VGA 508.Baseband processing unit 200 is by SPI or I 2C interface is controlled adjustable analog filter 502 and digital filter and digital VGA 508 with corresponding with the receive channel frequency of current business frequency band.
By frequency mixer 500 signal and the local frequency signal LO that receives carried out mixing, convert low-frequency band then to, the signal of this reception is to import with the corresponding LNA of current business frequency band from the LNA 214,216 and 218 of Fig. 2.According to order, filter the signal of reception with corresponding with the signal of current business frequency band by adjustable analog filter 502.Then, the signal of reception converts digital signal to by ADC 506, is handled by digital filter and digital VGA 508, converts analog signal to by DAC 510 again, offers baseband processing unit 200 then.
As mentioned above, adjustable analog filter 502 and digital filter and digital VGA 508 are the channel models as adjustable double multiplexer 208, thereby have extraordinary channel selectivity.
As mentioned above, because multi-mode wireless transceiver of the present invention adopts the adjustable double multiplexer, so the multi-mode wireless transceiver only uses a duplexer just can support all multi-modes and multiband.
In addition, owing to use and have the adjustable double multiplexer of good channel selectivity, attenuation characteristic and isolation characteristic as channel model, therefore there is no need to use the required RFSAW filter of RX path of FDD scheme, and can significantly improve band internal congestion characteristic, weaken the IIP3 and the IIP2 characteristic of frequency mixer, the conversion of signals that this frequency mixer is used for receiving becomes low-frequency band.
Therefore, can reduce the quantity, assembly area of parts and and weaken the standard of RF system.
