五、發明說明(2) 振蘯器202係用以依據射頻訊號及歇振訊號(Quench Signal) ’而振盪出振盪輸出訊號。而第1圖中之射頻訊 號、歇振訊號、以及振盪輸出訊號的波形圖,請參照第3 圖所繪示。由第1圖可知,歇振訊號為近似頻率4 〇 〇 k H z的 据齒波訊號,並且當射頻訊號為低準位(亦即,二進位的 0 )時’振盪輸出訊號會較慢的振盪;而當射頻訊號為高準 位(亦即,二進位的丨)時,振盪輸出訊號會較快的振盪。 電容2 0 4為交流耦合電容,用以將振盪輸出訊號中的 直流電位渡除,而使振盪輸出訊號中的交流訊號通過。低 通滤波器2 0 6係用以將振盪輸出訊號中的交流訊號濾波,V. Description of the invention (2) The vibrator 202 is used to oscillate an oscillating output signal according to a radio frequency signal and a Quench Signal ′. For the waveform diagrams of the RF signal, stop signal, and oscillating output signal in Figure 1, please refer to Figure 3. As can be seen from Figure 1, the rest signal is a tooth wave signal with an approximate frequency of 4,000 kHz, and when the RF signal is at a low level (that is, binary 0), the oscillating output signal will be slower. Oscillation; when the RF signal is at a high level (ie, binary 丨), the oscillation output signal will oscillate faster. Capacitor 204 is an AC coupling capacitor, which is used to divide the DC potential in the oscillating output signal and pass the AC signal in the oscillating output signal.

以獲得資料訊號。而整形器2 〇 8係用以整形資料訊號,並 輸出輸出資料。 然而’在超自激式射頻接收器2〇中,因為電容2 04的 電容值很大,所以無法置入積體電路中。同樣的,因為低 通濾波器2 0 6的截止頻率很低,所以電阻2 1 〇的電阻值與電 容212的電容值也會很大,這也會使得電阻21〇與電容2 12 無法置入積體電路中。因此,超自激式射頻接收器20會產 生體積過大的缺點。 接下來請參照第4圖,其繪示的是習知之另一種超自 激式射頻接收器之電路方塊圖。由第4圖可知,超自激式 射頻接收器40包括低雜訊放大器(Low Noise Amplifier, 簡稱LNA)402、振蓋器404、包絡檢波器(Envelope Detector)406、低通濾波器408、整形器410、自動增益控 制(Automatic Gain Control ,簡稱AGC)濾波器412、電壓To obtain data signals. The shaper 2008 is used to shape the data signal and output the output data. However, in the ultra-self-excited RF receiver 20, the capacitance value of the capacitor 204 cannot be placed in the integrated circuit. Similarly, because the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter 206 is very low, the resistance value of the resistor 2 1 0 and the capacitance value of the capacitor 212 will also be large, which will also make it impossible to place the resistor 21 0 and the capacitor 2 12. Integrated circuit. Therefore, the ultra-self-excited radio frequency receiver 20 has the disadvantage of being too bulky. Next, please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a circuit block diagram of another conventional super self-excited RF receiver. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the ultra-self-excited RF receiver 40 includes a low noise amplifier (Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)) 402, a capping device 404, an envelope detector (Envelope Detector) 406, a low-pass filter 408, and shaping. 410, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) filter 412, voltage

Among them, the automatic gain control filters 4 1 2 and 4 1 6 are composed of low-pass filters to obtain the energy level of the detection signal. In the ultra-self-excited radio frequency receiver 40, when the radio frequency signals have different levels, and the oscillation output signals of different levels are input to the envelope detector 4 06, the envelope detector 4 0 6 will output The detection signal of a large range changes, so that f will make the common-mode voltage of the data signal output by the low-pass filter 408 vary greatly, and make the low-pass filter 408 and the shaper 4 1 0 saturated. This will cause the output data of the shaper 4 10 to be wrong. In addition to RF signals at different levels, saturation of the low-pass filter 408 and shaper 410 will be caused, and changes in the process will make the saturation more severe. Therefore, the ultra-self-excited RF receiver 40 will have its sensitivity reduced due to different levels of RF signals and different processes.

In the present invention, a common mode feedback circuit (Common Mode Feedback Circuit) is added, and a detector (Rectifier, also called a rectifier) is changed to an integral-detector with feedback, so the present invention can improve the ultra-self-excited RF Receiver sensitivity. To achieve the above and other objectives, the present invention proposes an ultra-self-excited radio frequency receiver. The ultra-self-excited RF receiver includes an oscillator, a detector, a low-pass filter, and a common-mode feedback circuit. Among them, the oscillator is used to oscillate an oscillating output signal according to the RF signal and the Quench Signal. The detector is coupled to the oscillator for outputting signals based on the oscillation

Description of the invention (8) As can be seen from the above, the detector 506 is a current type integrating rectifier. In addition, the virtual differential detector 606 increases the gain of the detector 506. Furthermore, since the capacitor 708 is composed of an M 0 S capacitor, external components can be reduced. In addition, because the detector 506 does not saturate, it is possible to prevent the low-pass filter 508 and the shaper 5 1 2 from being saturated, so that the output data output by the shaper 5 1 2 will not be erroneous. Situation, so sensitivity can be improved.

It can be seen from FIG. 8 that the common-mode feedback circuit 510 includes a comparison and amplifier 802, a feedback low-pass filter 804, and a voltage-to-current converter 806. The comparison and amplifier 802 is operated in a sub-threshold mode, which compares and amplifies the data signal VLPF with a reference common-mode voltage VCM and outputs a comparison signal. The feedback low-pass filter 804 is coupled to the comparison and amplifier 802 for filtering the comparison signal to obtain a feedback signal. The voltage-to-current converter 806 is coupled to the feedback low-pass filter 804 to convert the feedback signal into a common-mode feedback current ICMFB. For the sake of clarity, please refer to FIG. 9 next, which shows a detailed circuit diagram of a common mode feedback circuit in an ultra-self-excited RF receiver according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 9, the comparison and amplifier 802 includes a transistor 90 2 and a transistor 104 that are both operated in a subcritical mode.

The gate system of body 904 is coupled to the reference common mode voltage. From the above, it can be seen from the above that, since the amplifier 8 0 2 series is operated in a subcritical mode, so the capacitor 9 in the low-pass filter 8 0 4 requires only a small capacitance value, so the capacitor 9 0 8 Placed in the integrated circuit. In addition, a total of 1 ohm circuit 5 1 0 is used to define the operating point of the detection signal ν r e c t, so the gain of the detector 506 can be set higher, and the detector 506 will not produce saturation.

First, the sawtooth wave generator 502 will generate a rest signal Iq. As shown in Figure 10, the rest signal Iq is a sawtooth signal with a frequency of approximately 400 kHz. Then, the oscillator 504 will oscillate the oscillating output signal Vosc according to the radio frequency signal RF and the stop signal Iq. It can be seen from FIG. 10 that when the RF signal RF is at a low level (that is, binary 0), the oscillation output signal Vosc oscillates slowly; and when the RF signal RF is at a high level (that is, two Carrying 1), the oscillation output signal Vosc oscillates faster. Next, the detector 506 will output the signal Vosc based on the oscillation and detect the signal Vrect out of the detection signal. After that, the low-pass filter 508 will filter the detection signal Vrect to obtain the data signal VLPF. Finally, the shaper 5 1 2 will shape the data signal VLPF and output the output data. It can be seen from FIG. 10 that the change of the radio frequency signal RF will cause a large change in the detection signal Vrect and the data signal VLPF, which will cause the data signal V
