Description of the invention (/) The present invention relates to an image suppression receiver, and in particular to a method using multiple low-intermediate frequency receivers and zero-intermediate frequency conversion receivers Image suppression receiver. In the architecture of an image reject receiver, a single-intermediate frequency receiver (single-IF receiver) and a multiple low-intermediate frequency receiver (multi-IF receiver) The architecture has been used for many years. Under these architectures, in order to suppress the image frequency at each intermediate frequency stage (I.F. stage), a large number and expensive filters * must be used. In order to keep the Q 値 of the intermediate frequency filter within an ideal 値, the ratio 値 between the received radio frequency (RF) and the intermediate frequency must be reduced. Facing the increasingly high RF operating frequency in today's environment, in order to reduce the frequency of the received image signal to easy demodulation, the Q 値 of the intermediate frequency filter can also be maintained at an ideal level. Within that, more and more layers of intermediate frequency stages must be used. As the number of intermediate frequency stages increases, more intermediate frequency filter components are required. Therefore, the conventional technology uses a zero-I.F. Receiver architecture to solve the problems derived from a single intermediate frequency receiver and multiple low-intermediate frequency receiver architectures. However, in order to demodulate a zero-intermediate frequency receiver, it must use a large number of expensive analog / digital converters (A / D Converters), and it also encounters many problems, such as being caused by uncoordinated impedance matching.

Description of the invention (V) Streaming signals, self-mixing and re-radiation of local oscillators, and radio frequency cross talk that obstructs desired signals. In addition, zero intermediate frequency receivers can generate weak but not needed baseband signals. This kind of weak baseband signal is difficult to deal with when there are many changes in the state. Therefore, in order to achieve the processing results required for precision applications, the A / D converter must have a special linear low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a mixer, which are excellent independent areas. Local Oscillator (L0) signal, and method for eliminating microvolt DC offset. However, these limitations are difficult to address at the same time. In summary, there are several shortcomings in the conventional technology, which are listed as follows: 1. Under the architecture of a single intermediate frequency receiver and multiple low intermediate frequency receivers, as the operating frequency of the RF becomes higher and higher, it must be used. There are more and more layers of intermediate frequency stages, and as the intermediate frequency stages increase, the required intermediate frequency filter components will also increase; 2. In order to demodulate a zero intermediate frequency receiver, a large number of expensive analog digital converters must be used , And also encountered problems such as: DC signals caused by uncoordinated impedance matching, self-mixing and re-radiation of local oscillators, and RF crossover interference that hindered the desired signal; and 3.

The image suppression receiver provided by the present invention includes a first low-intermediate frequency receiver, a zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver, and a second low-intermediate frequency receiver. The first low-intermediate frequency receiver is used to receive an image signal, and the image signal is a carrier image using the first intermediate frequency used by the first low-intermediate frequency receiver as a mapped image signal. The mapped image signal is then transmitted to a zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver. After receiving the mapped image signal with the first intermediate frequency as a carrier, the zero intermediate frequency conversion receiver suppresses the mapped image signal at the first intermediate frequency to zero frequency. Finally, the second low-intermediate frequency receiver receives the mapped image signal suppressed by the zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver, and uses the second intermediate-media frequency used by the second low-intermediate frequency receiver as Carrier to facilitate demodulation of this suppressed mapped image signal. In addition, the present invention can use a DC correction circuit to eliminate the DC bias generated by the zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver.

Among them, the image suppression receiver ( image reject receiver) 100 includes two Low-Intermediate Frequency receivers 10 and 130, and a Zero-Intermediate F receiver (Zero-Intermediate F requency conversion receiver) 120. The low-intermediate frequency receiver 110 (or first low-intermediate frequency receiver) operates with an intermediate frequency (hereinafter referred to as the first intermediate frequency) as the carrier. This low-intermediate frequency receiver 110 Receive an image signal from the outside and convert this image signal into a mapped image signal with the first intermediate frequency as the carrier. After the image signal is converted into a mapped image signal with the first intermediate frequency as the carrier, zero intermediate frequency conversion is received.

Description of the Invention (u) In addition to the receiver 220, a demodulator 240 is included. In addition, the zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver 220 also includes DC correction circuits 250 and 255 °. When the image signal is transmitted to the low-intermediate frequency receiver 210 (the first low-intermediate frequency receiver), it first passes a linear A low-noise amplifier (LNA) 212 is used to amplify the image signal under the conditions that are least affected by the external environment. After that, the intermediate frequency (the first intermediate frequency) used by the low intermediate frequency receiver 210 is integrated into the image signal through the mixers 214A and 214B. Among them, the first intermediate frequency is generated based on the frequency of the regional oscillating signal, and the regional oscillating signal is generated by a synthesizer 260 that can generate the oscillating signal. After that, the image signal is converted into the image signal with the first intermediate frequency as the carrier through the low-frequency filters (LowPassFnterPMA and 216B, and the amplifiers 218A and 218B, respectively). For low-frequency operation, because the frequency of the local oscillation signal (LO signal) is different from the image signal, the possibility of reradiation of the local oscillation signal into the receiving antenna can be reduced. The possibility of this re-radiation is to use only A disadvantage of the zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver. From this, it can be seen that reducing re-radiation is one of the reasons why this image suppression receiver is better than the conventional receiver architecture. Next, the low-intermediate frequency receiver 210 The generated mapped image signal is transmitted to the zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver 220. After the two mapped image signals pass through mixers 222A, 222B and mixers 222C, 222D, and are mixed with the regional oscillating signal, one of them The group mapping image signal is added. 8 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 29 7 public hair) ~ ~ " (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 4 ·., Line. 536911 V. Invention description (') (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 223A , The low-pass filter 224A and the amplifier 226A generate a set of suppressed image signals obtained after suppression. The other set of mapped image signals passes through the subtractor 223B, the low-pass filter 224B, and the amplifier 226B. Will generate another set of suppressed mapped image signals. DC correction circuits 250 and 255, respectively, are used to eliminate the microvolt DC offset (microvolt DC) included in these two sets of suppressed mapped image signals. offset). After these two sets of mapped image signals obtained after suppression enter low-intermediate frequency receiver 230 (second low-intermediate frequency receiver), they pass through mixers 234A and 234B, respectively, and receive with this low-intermediate frequency. The intermediate frequency (second intermediate frequency) used by the mixer 230 is mixed with each other. Next, after adding the two sets of mapped image signals, the mapped image signals obtained by the addition are output to the solution. The demodulator 240 is demodulated. It must be noted that the consumer property cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs prints that the synthesizer 260 passes the divider 232, 228A and 228B, which provides the regional oscillating signal used by the zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver 220 and the low-intermediate frequency receiver 230. Although the divider 232 here is divided by a constant 4, the dividers 228A and 228B are divided by The constant 2 does not mean that the constant to be divided must be limited to this. In addition, since the low-intermediate frequency receiver 210 uses a low-intermediate frequency, the impedance match between the low-intermediate frequency receiver 210 and the zero-intermediate frequency conversion receiver 220 can be made easier than before. Better at high frequencies. With the improvement of impedance matching, the effect of the whole image suppression receiver can be better. And because of the low frequency, 9 paper rulers ^ stab towel Guan Jiaxian (CNSM · 丨 ship (210 X 297 public love) _ ~ ^ 536911 V. Description of the invention (¾) Frequency conversion receiver 220 and low intermediate The regional oscillating signal of the frequency receiver 230 can be generated by the synthesizer 260 through a simple division circuit, without the need for a complicated high-frequency signal generating circuit. Furthermore, because the suppression of the image is converted at zero intermediate frequency In the receiver, so the number of filters and operating performance in the low intermediate frequency receiver 210 is related to the ratio of the image signal frequency (or radio frequency) to the intermediate frequency. It will be reduced. Under this condition, the number of filters in the low-intermediate-frequency receiver 210 can be relatively reduced compared to the conventional ones. In summary, the advantages of the present invention are briefly described below. The present invention can reduce regional oscillations The possibility of the signal re-radiating into the receiving antenna, and a simple division circuit can be used to replace the complex high-frequency signal generation circuit. In addition, due to the improved impedance matching, The operation results will be better. The number and quality restrictions of the required filters can be greatly reduced. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with this technique Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, various modifications and retouching can be made, so the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
