Description
본 발명은 전자냉각소자를 이용한 이동통신단말기 내 전력증폭기의 온도제어장치에 관한 것으로, 특히 이동통신단말기의 전력증폭기에 열전반도체인 전자냉각소자를 부착하여 전력증폭기 자체의 온도를 일정하게 유지시켜줌으로써 안정된 송신전력의 출력을 보장할 수 있도록 한 전자냉각소자를 이용한 이동통신단말기 내 전력증폭기의 온도제어장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a temperature control device of a power amplifier in a mobile communication terminal using an electronic cooling device. In particular, by attaching an electronic cooling device, which is a thermoelectric semiconductor, to a power amplifier of a mobile communication terminal by maintaining a constant temperature of the power amplifier itself. The present invention relates to a temperature control device of a power amplifier in a mobile communication terminal using an electronic cooling element capable of guaranteeing a stable output of transmission power.
일반적으로, 이동통신단말기의 RF 송신부는 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 입력되는 RF 신호를 일정레벨 전력 증폭하는 전력증폭기(1)와, 상기 전력증폭기(1)에 의해 증폭된 RF 신호를 송신방향으로 흐르게 하는 아이솔레이터(Isolator)(2)와, 상기 아이솔레이터(2)를 통해 흐르는 RF 신호를 안테나(Ant)를 통해 송신하는 듀플렉서(Duplexer)(3)를 포함하여 구성된다.In general, the RF transmitter of the mobile communication terminal transmits an RF signal amplified by the power amplifier 1 and a power amplifier 1 for a predetermined level power amplification of the input RF signal. And an duplexer (3) for transmitting the RF signal flowing through the isolator (2) through the antenna (Ant).
상기 구성에서와 같이 종래 이동통신단말기의 RF 송신부는 상기 전력증폭기(1)를 구비하여 RF 신호의 전력을 증폭함으로써 송신전력의 출력특성을 만족시키고자 한다.As described above, the RF transmitter of the conventional mobile communication terminal includes the power amplifier 1 to amplify the power of the RF signal to satisfy the output characteristics of the transmit power.
여기서 전력증폭기(1)는 저전압과 저전류로 비교적 높은 전력을 출력해야 하기 때문에 효율이 좋은 증폭기를 사용해야 한다.In this case, since the power amplifier 1 must output relatively high power with low voltage and low current, an efficient amplifier must be used.
그러나, 상기와 같이 저전압으로 높은 전력을 출력하다보면 전압증폭기(1)에서 많은 열이 발생하게 되고, 이 발생된 열에 의해 전력증폭기(1)의 효율이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다.However, when outputting high power at a low voltage as described above, a large amount of heat is generated in the voltage amplifier 1, and the heat amplifier has a problem in that the efficiency of the power amplifier 1 is lowered.
특히, 전계의 강도가 약한 약전계 지역에서 통화할 때 미약한 신호를 증폭시키기 위해 전력증폭기(1)의 출력을 높일 경우에는 더욱 열이 많이 발생하고, 이 발생된 열이 이동통신단말기에서 발생하는 열의 대부분을 차지함에 따라 오랫동안 통화 시 이동통신단말기가 뜨거워지는 원인이 된다.In particular, when the power amplifier 1 increases its power to amplify a weak signal when talking in a weak electric field where the strength of the electric field is weak, more heat is generated, and the generated heat is generated in the mobile communication terminal. As it takes up most of the heat, it causes the mobile communication terminal to heat up for a long time.
이때, 이동통신단말기가 열에 약한 특성을 가진 많은 반도체 부품으로 구성되어 있어 상기와 같이 전력증폭기에서 발생되는 열에 의해 뜨거워지면 성능과 특성이 열화되어 100% 기본 성능을 발휘할 수 없게 된다.At this time, the mobile communication terminal is composed of a large number of semiconductor components having a weak characteristic of heat, when the heat is generated by the heat generated in the power amplifier as described above, the performance and characteristics deteriorate, so that 100% of the basic performance can not be exhibited.
이에 따라, 종래에는 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 이동통신단말기 내 온도센서에서 검출된 후 A/D(Analog to Digital) 변환된 온도데이터를 기준으로 전력증폭기의 이득을 제어하여 열에 의해 효율이 저하된 전력증폭기가 동일한 전력을 지속적으로 출력할 수 있도록 전력증폭의 출력특성을 보상하였다.Accordingly, conventionally, in order to solve the above problems, the efficiency of the power amplifier is controlled by controlling the gain of the power amplifier based on temperature data detected by the temperature sensor in the mobile communication terminal and then converted to A / D (Analog to Digital). The power amplifier compensates for the output characteristics so that the same power can be output continuously.
그러나, 싱기와 같은 종래 온도데이터를 기준으로 하는 출력특성 보상방법의 경우, 온도데이터를 기준으로 전력증폭기의 이득을 증가시키게 되면 소모전류가 늘어나게 되고, 계속적인 전류소모는 다시 더 많은 열의 발생을 유도하게 되는 등, 이러한 악순환이 되풀이 됨에 따라 이동통신단말기 내 주위 소자에도 악영향을 미쳐 이동통신단말기의 전체 온도특성이 저하되어 통화품질 및 이동통신단말기의 전체 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the case of the output characteristic compensation method based on the conventional temperature data such as the singer, increasing the gain of the power amplifier based on the temperature data increases the current consumption, and continuous current consumption induces more heat again. As such a vicious cycle is repeated, the peripheral devices in the mobile communication terminal adversely affect the overall temperature characteristics of the mobile communication terminal, thereby degrading the call quality and the overall performance of the mobile communication terminal.
본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로서, 그 목적은 이동통신단말기의 전력증폭기에 펠티어(Peltier) 및 제어백(Seeback) 효과를 이용한 열전반도체인 전자냉각소자를 부착하여 통화 시 전력증폭기에서 발생되는 열을 흡수함으로써 전력증폭기의 출력특성을 보상하여 송신전력 출력의 안정성을 보장할 수 있고, 이에 따라 이동통신단말기의 성능저하를 방지할 수 있도록 한 전자냉각소자를 이용한 이동통신단말기 내 전력증폭기의 온도제어장치를 제공하는 데에 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to attach an electronic cooling device, which is a thermoelectric semiconductor using a Peltier and a control back, to a power amplifier of a mobile communication terminal in a power amplifier during a call.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참고하여 본 발명에 의한 전자냉각소자를 이용한 이동통신단말기 내 전력증폭기의 온도제어장치의 구성 및 동작을 설명한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described the configuration and operation of the temperature control device of the power amplifier in the mobile communication terminal using the electronic cooling device according to the present invention.
본 발명에서는 이동통신단말기 내 전력증폭기에서 발생하는 열을 흡수하기 위해 펠티어 및 제어백 효과를 이용한 열전반도체인 전자냉각소자를 사용한다.In the present invention, in order to absorb heat generated from the power amplifier in the mobile communication terminal, an electronic cooling device, which is a thermoelectric semiconductor using a Peltier and control back effect, is used.
즉, 도2의 (가)는 일반적인 열전반도체의 펠티어 효과를 보인 구성도로서, 상기 펠티어 효과는 열전반도체의 n형 반도체(4) 부분과 p형 반도체(5) 부분에 직류전원부(6)를 통한 소정의 직류전류를 인가하면 음극으로 대전된 p형 반도체(5) 부분에서는 주위로부터 열에너지를 흡수한 전자가 열전반도체 내부로 이동하여 흡열이 일어나고, 양극으로 대전된 n형 반도체(4) 부분에서는 전자의 열에너지 방출에 의하여 발열이 일어나는 현상을 말한다.That is, FIG. 2A is a configuration diagram showing the Peltier effect of a general thermoelectric semiconductor. The Peltier effect is a DC power supply unit 6 connected to an n-type semiconductor 4 portion and a p-type semiconductor portion 5 of the thermoelectric semiconductor. When a predetermined direct current is applied, the p-type semiconductor (5) portion charged by the cathode moves electrons absorbing thermal energy from the surroundings to the inside of the thermoelectric semiconductor, resulting in endothermization, and in the n-type semiconductor portion (4) charged by the anode It refers to a phenomenon in which heat is generated by the release of heat energy of electrons.

The control back effect is an inverse phenomenon of the Peltier effect. The n-type semiconductor 7 and the p-type semiconductor 8 of the thermoelectric semiconductor are shown in FIG. If a constant temperature difference is maintained at both ends of a circuit connected to parts, an electromotive force 9 is generated due to a potential difference between the contacts due to the movement of electrons including thermal energy.
도 3은 본 발명의 전자냉각소자를 이용한 이동통신단말기 내 전력증폭기의 온도제어장치를 보인 구성도로서, 이동통신단말기의 RF 송신부의 PCB(Printed Circuit Board)에 실장되어 입력되는 RF 신호를 일정레벨 전력 증폭하는 전력증폭기(11)와, 상기 전력증폭기(11)의 상단면에 부착되어, 전력증폭기(11)에서 발생하는 열을 흡수하여 전력증폭기(11) 자체의 온도를 일정하게 유지시키는 열전반도체인 전자냉각소자(12)와, 상기 전자냉각소자(12)의 n형 반도체 부분에는 양극을, p형 반도체 부분에는 음극을 각각 연결하여 소정의 동작전원을 공급하는 직류전원부(13)로 구성된다.3 is a block diagram showing a temperature control device of a power amplifier in a mobile communication terminal using the electronic cooling device of the present invention. The RF signal mounted on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) of the RF communication unit of the mobile communication terminal has a predetermined level. It is attached to the power amplifier 11 for power amplification, and the upper surface of the power amplifier 11, the heat conduction semiconductor absorbs heat generated by the power amplifier 11 to maintain a constant temperature of the power amplifier 11 itself Phosphorus electron cooling element 12 and a direct current power source unit 13 for supplying a predetermined operating power supply by connecting an anode to an n-type semiconductor portion of the electron cooling element 12 and a cathode to a p-type semiconductor portion, respectively. .
상기 전자냉각소자(12)는 펠티어 및 제어백 효과를 이용한 열전반도체로서, 흡열이 일어나는 p형 반도체 부분을 상기 전력증폭기(11)의 상단면에 부착한다.The electronic cooling device 12 is a thermoelectric semiconductor using a Peltier and control back effect, and attaches a p-type semiconductor portion in which endotherm occurs to the top surface of the power amplifier 11.
상기 직류전원부(13)는 리플(Ripple)이 작은 정전압 전원을 공급한다.The DC power supply unit 13 supplies a constant voltage power with a small ripple.
상기와 같이 구성된 전자냉각소자를 이용한 이동통신단말기 내 전력증폭기의 온도제어장치의 동작을 설명한다.The operation of the temperature control device of the power amplifier in the mobile communication terminal using the electronic cooling device configured as described above will be described.
먼저, 이동통신단말기를 사용하여 통화를 수행하는 경우, 상기 전력증폭기(11)는 입력되는 RF 신호를 일정레벨 출력함으로써 안정된 출력특성을 만족하도록 한다.First, when making a call using a mobile communication terminal, the power amplifier 11 outputs a predetermined level of the input RF signal to satisfy a stable output characteristic.
이때, 약전계에서 통화가 이루어질 때 또는 전력증폭기(11)의 출력을 높이게 되면 상기 전력증폭기(11)는 전류소모를 늘여 이득을 증가시킴으로써 동일한 전력을 출력하게 된다.At this time, when a call is made in the weak electric field or when the output of the power amplifier 11 is increased, the power amplifier 11 outputs the same power by increasing the current consumption to increase the gain.

즉, 음극으로 대전되는 열전반도체의 p형 반도체 부분에서 흡열이 일어나 상기 전력증폭기(11)에서 발생되는 열을 흡수하는 것이다.That is, endothermic occurs in the p-type semiconductor portion of the thermoelectric semiconductor that is charged to the cathode to absorb heat generated by the power amplifier 11.
