具有靜電防護的射頻裝置Electrostatic protection RF device

本發明是有關於一種具有靜電防護的射頻裝置,且特別是有關於利用電容與電感所組成的電路架構來同時達到靜電防護與阻抗匹配的一種射頻裝置。The present invention relates to a radio frequency device having electrostatic protection, and more particularly to a radio frequency device that utilizes a circuit structure composed of a capacitor and an inductor to simultaneously achieve electrostatic protection and impedance matching.

積體電路(IC)在製造的過程中或是晶片完成後,靜電放電(electrostatic discharge,ESD)事件常是導致積體電路損壞的主要原因。因此,積體電路通常需要靜電防護的功能,以避免外來的靜電訊號對積體電路造成損害。舉例而言,現今的射頻裝置(例如無線收發機、手機、全球定位系統等)在利用天線收發射頻訊號的同時,其必須衡量到天線所提供的傳輸路徑也會導致靜電放電事件的發生。The electrostatic discharge (ESD) event is often the main cause of damage to the integrated circuit during the manufacturing process or after the wafer is completed. Therefore, the integrated circuit usually needs the function of static electricity protection to prevent external electrostatic signals from damaging the integrated circuit. For example, today's radio frequency devices (such as wireless transceivers, mobile phones, global positioning systems, etc.) must use the antenna to transmit and receive RF signals, and it must be measured that the transmission path provided by the antenna also causes an electrostatic discharge event.

基於上述原因,傳統射頻裝置針對不同種類的天線採取不同的靜電防護措施。譬如,當傳統射頻裝置利用平面倒F型天線(planer inverted-F antenna)作為收發射頻訊號的路徑時,由於平面倒F型天線本身的設計已具備接地路徑,故當靜電放電事件發生的同時,傳統射頻裝置可利用平面倒F型天線中的接地路徑,來避免外來靜電訊號對內部射頻電路的影響。然而,平面倒F型天線在使用上卻有頻寬過窄的問題。相對地,當傳統射頻裝置在利用平面倒F型天線來增強靜電防護功能時,其天線的性能將受限於平面倒F型天線而無法提升。For the above reasons, the conventional radio frequency device adopts different electrostatic protection measures for different kinds of antennas. For example, when a conventional RF device uses a planar inverted-F antenna as a path for transmitting and receiving an RF signal, since the design of the planar inverted-F antenna itself has a grounding path, when an electrostatic discharge event occurs, Conventional RF devices can utilize the ground path in a planar inverted-F antenna to avoid the effects of external electrostatic signals on the internal RF circuitry. However, the planar inverted-F antenna has a problem that the bandwidth is too narrow in use. In contrast, when a conventional radio frequency device utilizes a planar inverted-F antenna to enhance the electrostatic protection function, the performance of the antenna will be limited by the planar inverted-F antenna and cannot be improved.

此外,傳統射頻裝置也可利用單極天線(monopole antenna)來收發射頻訊號。此時,傳統射頻裝置透過機構包覆單極天線的方式,讓單極天線遠離射頻裝置的機殼邊緣。如此一來,單極天線將無法提供一傳輸路徑給外來的靜電訊號,進而致使傳統射頻裝置具有靜電防護的功能。然而,隨著消費性電子產品講求輕薄短小的前提下,單極天線與機殼邊緣的距離被迫縮減,此種採用機構包覆單極天線的方式,將致使傳統射頻裝置無法達到微型化之目的。In addition, conventional radio frequency devices can also use a monopole antenna to transmit and receive RF signals. At this time, the conventional radio frequency device shields the monopole antenna from the edge of the casing of the radio frequency device by means of a mechanism covering the monopole antenna. As a result, the monopole antenna will not be able to provide a transmission path to the external electrostatic signal, thereby causing the conventional radio frequency device to have an electrostatic protection function. However, with the demand for light and thin consumer electronics, the distance between the monopole antenna and the edge of the casing is forced to be reduced. This method of covering the monopole antenna will prevent the conventional RF device from being miniaturized. purpose.

另一種方式是採用ESD抑制元件,如圖1所繪示之具有靜電防護功能的傳統射頻裝置100,其利用天線110來接收訊號。當靜電放電事件發生時,靜電訊號將透過ESD抑制元件120傳送至地端,進而避免靜電訊號對射頻電路130造成損害。然而,現今可作為ESD抑制元件120的電子零件,像是低電容值的變阻器(varistor)或聚合物材質(polymer)的ESD抑制器(ESD suppresser)等,往往都有價格過高的問題。此外,利用傳統ESD抑制元件120做為靜電防護的傳統射頻裝置100,無法通過IEC61000-4-2測試規範中第3等級(空氣放電+/-8kv)的測試條件。換而言之,利用傳統ESD抑制元件120的傳統射頻裝置100,其靜電防護效果極差。Another way is to use an ESD suppression component, such as the conventional radio frequency device 100 with electrostatic protection as shown in FIG. 1, which uses the antenna 110 to receive signals. When an electrostatic discharge event occurs, the electrostatic signal will be transmitted to the ground through the ESD suppression component 120, thereby preventing the electrostatic signal from damaging the RF circuit 130. However, electronic components that can be used as the ESD suppression element 120 today, such as a low capacitance varistor or a polymer ESD suppressor, often have an overpriced problem. In addition, the conventional radio frequency device 100 using the conventional ESD suppression element 120 as the static electricity protection cannot pass the test condition of the third level (air discharge +/- 8 kV) in the IEC61000-4-2 test specification. In other words, the conventional radio frequency device 100 using the conventional ESD suppression element 120 has extremely poor electrostatic protection effect.

The radio frequency device uses an antenna to receive an RF signal, and the frequency of the RF signal is within a specific range.

The RF switch has a fixed connection end, a preset connection end, and a signal connection end. Here, the preset connection end is used to provide a connection path to an external antenna, and the RF switch is electrically connected to the fixed connection end and the preset connection end according to the connection state of the preset connection end. One. Thereby, the radio frequency device receives an RF signal from the built-in antenna or the external antenna through the connection state of the preset connection end, wherein the frequency of the RF signal is maintained within a specific range.

當射頻訊號或靜電訊號傳送至訊號連接端時,若電容的阻抗值維持在一第一範圍內,且第一電感的阻抗值維持在一第二範圍內,電容用以傳遞射頻訊號至射頻電路並能夠阻隔靜電訊號侵入射頻電路,而第一電感則用以將靜電訊號導入地端並能夠阻隔射頻訊號被導入地端。此外,該電容與該第一電感所組成的阻抗匹配電路,可達到阻隔一特定電壓下的該靜電訊號。When the RF signal or the electrostatic signal is transmitted to the signal connection end, if the impedance value of the capacitor is maintained within a first range, and the impedance value of the first inductor is maintained within a second range, the capacitor is used to transmit the RF signal to the RF circuit. It can block the static signal from entering the RF circuit, and the first inductor is used to introduce the electrostatic signal to the ground end and block the RF signal from being introduced into the ground. In addition, the impedance matching circuit formed by the capacitor and the first inductor can block the electrostatic signal at a specific voltage.

The second inductor is electrically connected between the built-in antenna and the ground end to directly transmit the electrostatic signal from the built-in antenna to the RF device, so that the electrostatic signal cannot enter the RF circuit. The impedance matching circuit is electrically connected between the built-in antenna and the RF switch, so that the impedance of the built-in antenna matches the impedance of the RF switch.

The RF switch has a fixed connection end, a preset connection end, and a signal connection end. Here, the preset connection end is used to provide a connection path to an external antenna, and the RF switch is electrically connected to the fixed connection end and the preset connection end according to the connection state of the preset connection end. One. Therefore, the RF circuit receives an RF signal from the built-in antenna or the external antenna through the connection state of the preset connection terminal, wherein the frequency of the RF signal is maintained within a specific range, and an electrostatic signal may also be used.

當射頻訊號或靜電訊號傳送至訊號連接端時,若電容的阻抗值維持在一第一範圍內,且第一電感與第二電感的阻抗值都維持在一第二範圍內,電容用以傳遞射頻訊號至射頻電路並能夠阻隔靜電訊號侵入射頻電路,而第一電感與第二電感則用以傳遞靜電訊號至地端並能夠阻隔射頻訊號被導入地端。此外,電容、第一電感以及第二電感所組成的阻抗匹配電路,可達到阻隔一特定電壓下的靜電訊號。When the RF signal or the electrostatic signal is transmitted to the signal connection end, if the impedance value of the capacitor is maintained within a first range, and the impedance values of the first inductor and the second inductor are both maintained within a second range, the capacitor is used to transmit The RF signal to the RF circuit can block the electrostatic signal from entering the RF circuit, and the first inductor and the second inductor are used to transmit the electrostatic signal to the ground end and can block the RF signal from being introduced into the ground. In addition, an impedance matching circuit composed of a capacitor, a first inductor, and a second inductor can block an electrostatic signal at a specific voltage.

本發明因採用電感與電容所組成的電路架構,而致使射頻裝置具有靜電防護之功效,不必刻意維持單極天線與機殼間的距離。此外,由於電感與電容所組成的電路架構還具有阻抗匹配之功用,故與習知技術相較之下,本發明除了具備良好的靜電防護功效外,還具有微型化與提升射頻裝置之性能的優勢。The invention adopts a circuit structure composed of an inductor and a capacitor, so that the radio frequency device has the function of electrostatic protection, and does not need to intentionally maintain the distance between the monopole antenna and the casing.

為讓本發明之上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉較佳實施例,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下。The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.

圖2繪示為依照本發明一實施例之具有靜電防護的射頻裝置結構示意圖。參照圖2,射頻裝置200包括天線210、電感L21、電容C21以及射頻電路220。其中電感L21電性連接在天線210與地端之間,而電容C21則電性連接在天線210與射頻電路220之間。2 is a schematic structural view of a radio frequency device with static electricity protection according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the radio frequency device 200 includes an antenna 210, an inductor L21, a capacitor C21, and a radio frequency circuit 220. The inductor L21 is electrically connected between the antenna 210 and the ground, and the capacitor C21 is electrically connected between the antenna 210 and the radio frequency circuit 220.

在整體操作上,射頻裝置200透過天線210所提供的路徑來接收射頻訊號,其中射頻訊號之頻率維持在一特定範圍內。當射頻訊號進入射頻裝置200時,由於電容C21對射頻訊號而言為一低阻抗,電感L21對射頻訊號而言為一高阻抗,因此電容C21具有傳遞射頻訊號之功能,而電感L21則具有阻隔射頻訊號之功能。換而言之,此時電容C21將天線210所接收的射頻訊號傳遞至射頻電路220,而電感L21則能夠防止射頻訊號在被傳送到射頻電路220時溢漏至地端。如此,使射頻電路220能夠配合天線210對應地接收射頻訊號。In overall operation, the radio frequency device 200 receives the radio frequency signal through the path provided by the antenna 210, wherein the frequency of the radio frequency signal is maintained within a specific range. When the RF signal enters the RF device 200, since the capacitor C21 is a low impedance to the RF signal, the inductor L21 is a high impedance to the RF signal, so the capacitor C21 has the function of transmitting the RF signal, and the inductor L21 has the barrier. The function of the RF signal. In other words, at this time, the capacitor C21 transmits the RF signal received by the antenna 210 to the RF circuit 220, and the inductor L21 can prevent the RF signal from leaking to the ground when being transmitted to the RF circuit 220. In this way, the RF circuit 220 can be configured to receive the RF signal correspondingly to the antenna 210.

另一方面,當靜電放電事件發生時,外來的靜電訊號將透過天線210所提供的路徑進入到射頻裝置200中。此時,電容C21對靜電訊號而言為一高阻抗,電感L21對靜電訊號而言為一低阻抗,因此電感L21具有傳遞靜電訊號之功能,而電容C21則具有阻隔靜電訊號之功能。藉此,電感L21能夠在天線210及射頻電路220之間的路徑上將靜電訊號直接導通至地端,而設在天線210及射頻電路220之間的路徑上的電容C21能夠阻隔靜電訊號經由天線210侵入射頻電路220。On the other hand, when an electrostatic discharge event occurs, an external electrostatic signal will enter the radio frequency device 200 through the path provided by the antenna 210. At this time, the capacitor C21 is a high impedance to the electrostatic signal, and the inductor L21 is a low impedance to the electrostatic signal. Therefore, the inductor L21 has the function of transmitting an electrostatic signal, and the capacitor C21 has the function of blocking the electrostatic signal. Thereby, the inductor L21 can directly conduct the electrostatic signal to the ground end in the path between the antenna 210 and the RF circuit 220, and the capacitor C21 disposed in the path between the antenna 210 and the RF circuit 220 can block the electrostatic signal from passing through the antenna. 210 invades the RF circuit 220.

基於上述原因,當射頻裝置200透過天線210接收到射頻訊號時,靜電訊號亦可能藉由天線進入射頻裝置,而射頻電路220將分別透過電感L21與電容C21,來抑制靜電訊號與接收射頻訊號,進而達到靜電防護之功效。另一方面,電感L21與電容C21形成相對於天線210與射頻電路220之間的阻抗匹配電路230,以減小射頻訊號於射頻裝置200中的損失。其中,當電感L21的阻抗值維持在一第一範圍內,且電容C21之阻抗值維持在一第二範圍內時,電感L21與電容C21所形成的阻抗匹配電路230,將可阻隔一特定電壓下的靜電訊號。值得一提的是,上述之特定範圍為射頻訊號之頻率大於或等於750MHz,故對於全球行動通信系統(GSM)、全球定位系統(GPS)、英國電信BT、日本電信KDDI、以及各種通訊標準例如CDMA、WCDMA、藍芽(Blue Tooth)、WiFi、WiMax、DVB-H所規範之頻段,射頻裝置200都適用。此外,當靜電訊號的特定電壓為±8kv時,上述之第一範圍為電容C21之阻抗值小於或等於39pF,且第二範圍為電感L21之阻抗值小於或等於56nH。換而言之,此時射頻裝置200的靜電防護功效,至少可通過IEC61000-4-2測試規範中第3等級(空氣放電+/-8kv)的測試條件。若進一步減少電感L21與電容C21之阻抗值,則射頻裝置200可通過IEC61000-4-2測試規範的第4等級(空氣放電+/-15kv)。另一方面,上述之天線210可為一單極天線(monopole antenna)或一寬頻天線(wideband antenna)。For the above reasons, when the RF device 200 receives the RF signal through the antenna 210, the static signal may enter the RF device through the antenna, and the RF circuit 220 will pass through the inductor L21 and the capacitor C21, respectively, to suppress the electrostatic signal and receive the RF signal. In turn, the effect of electrostatic protection is achieved. On the other hand, the inductor L21 and the capacitor C21 form an impedance matching circuit 230 with respect to the antenna 210 and the radio frequency circuit 220 to reduce the loss of the radio frequency signal in the radio frequency device 200. Wherein, when the impedance value of the inductor L21 is maintained within a first range, and the impedance value of the capacitor C21 is maintained within a second range, the impedance matching circuit 230 formed by the inductor L21 and the capacitor C21 can block a specific voltage. The static signal underneath. It is worth mentioning that the above specific range is the frequency of the RF signal is greater than or equal to 750MHz, so for Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS), British Telecom BT, Japan Telecom KDDI, and various communication standards such as The frequency band specified by CDMA, WCDMA, Bluetooth (Blue Tooth), WiFi, WiMax, DVB-H, and the radio frequency device 200 are all applicable. In addition, when the specific voltage of the electrostatic signal is ±8 kV, the first range is that the impedance value of the capacitor C21 is less than or equal to 39 pF, and the second range is that the impedance value of the inductor L21 is less than or equal to 56 nH. In other words, the electrostatic protection effect of the radio frequency device 200 at this time can at least pass the test condition of the third level (air discharge +/- 8 kv) in the IEC61000-4-2 test specification. If the impedance value of the inductor L21 and the capacitor C21 is further reduced, the radio frequency device 200 can pass the fourth level of the IEC61000-4-2 test specification (air discharge +/- 15 kv). On the other hand, the antenna 210 described above may be a monopole antenna or a wideband antenna.

然熟習此技術者應知,當射頻裝置200操作在不同的頻段時,也就是在接收不同頻率的射頻訊號下,射頻裝置200只需調整用以限定電感L21與電容C21之阻抗值的特定範圍,就可同時達到具有靜電防護與阻抗匹配之功效。故上述所舉之數值只是本發明之一實施例,不應以此限定本發明。此外,由於天線的種類會隨著科技的日新月異而不斷地變更,故用以作為天線210之天線種類,也不應侷限於上述所舉之例子。It should be understood by those skilled in the art that when the radio frequency device 200 operates in different frequency bands, that is, when receiving radio frequency signals of different frequencies, the radio frequency device 200 only needs to adjust a specific range for limiting the impedance values of the inductor L21 and the capacitor C21. It can achieve the effect of electrostatic protection and impedance matching at the same time. Therefore, the above numerical values are only one embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention should not be limited thereto. In addition, since the type of the antenna is constantly changing with the rapid development of technology, the type of antenna used as the antenna 210 should not be limited to the above-mentioned examples.

圖3繪示為依據本發明另一實施例之具有靜電防護的射頻裝置結構示意圖。參照圖3,射頻裝置300包括內建天線310、阻抗匹配電路320、射頻開關330、電感L31、電容C31以及射頻電路340。其中阻抗匹配電路320電性連接在內建天線310與射頻開關330的固定連接端331之間。電感L31電性連接在射頻開關330的訊號連接端333與地端之間。電容C31則電性連接在射頻開關330的訊號連接端333與射頻電路340之間。3 is a schematic structural view of a radio frequency device with static electricity protection according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the radio frequency device 300 includes a built-in antenna 310, an impedance matching circuit 320, a radio frequency switch 330, an inductor L31, a capacitor C31, and a radio frequency circuit 340. The impedance matching circuit 320 is electrically connected between the built-in antenna 310 and the fixed connection end 331 of the RF switch 330. The inductor L31 is electrically connected between the signal connection end 333 of the RF switch 330 and the ground. The capacitor C31 is electrically connected between the signal connection end 333 of the RF switch 330 and the RF circuit 340.

在此,阻抗匹配電路320用以致使內建天線310之阻抗與射頻開關330之阻抗相互匹配,以降低射頻訊號於射頻裝置300中的損失。而射頻開關330的預設連接端332用以提供一連接途徑給一外接天線(未繪示出)。當外接天線電性連接至預設連接端332時,射頻開關330的訊號連接端333將會電性連接至預設連接端332,反之,訊號連接端333將會電性連接至固定連接端331。換而言之,射頻開關330會依據預設連接端332之連接狀態,而致使內建天線310或外接天線所接收到的射頻訊號能夠被傳送至訊號連接端333,其中射頻訊號之頻率維持在一特定範圍內,並且靜電訊號亦可能藉由內建天線310或外接天線進入射頻裝置中。Here, the impedance matching circuit 320 is configured to cause the impedance of the built-in antenna 310 to match the impedance of the RF switch 330 to reduce the loss of the RF signal in the RF device 300. The preset connection end 332 of the RF switch 330 is used to provide a connection path to an external antenna (not shown). When the external antenna is electrically connected to the preset connection end 332, the signal connection end 333 of the RF switch 330 is electrically connected to the preset connection end 332. Otherwise, the signal connection end 333 is electrically connected to the fixed connection end 331. . In other words, the RF switch 330 can cause the RF signal received by the built-in antenna 310 or the external antenna to be transmitted to the signal connection terminal 333 according to the connection state of the preset connection terminal 332, wherein the frequency of the RF signal is maintained at Within a certain range, the electrostatic signal may also enter the radio frequency device through the built-in antenna 310 or an external antenna.

之後,由於電容C31具有傳遞射頻訊號並阻隔靜電訊號之功能,故設在射頻開關330與射頻電路340之間的路徑上的電容C31能夠將內建天線310或外接天線所接收之射頻訊號傳導至射頻電路340,並且阻隔靜電訊號侵入射頻電路340,使射頻電路340能配合內建天線310或外接天線來對應地接收射頻訊號。另一方面,由於電感L31具有傳導靜電訊號並阻隔射頻訊號之功能,故當靜電放電事件發生時,電感L31能夠在射頻開關330與射頻電路340之間的路徑上將靜電訊號直接導入地端,使靜電訊號無法進入射頻電路340,進而達到靜電防護之功效,並且射頻訊號仍然能夠被傳送至射頻電路340。值得注意的是,電感L31與電容C31形成相對於內建天線310與射頻電路340之間的阻抗匹配電路350,以減小射頻訊號於射頻裝置300中的損失。其中當電感L31的阻抗值維持在一第一範圍內,且電容C31之阻抗值維持在一第二範圍內時,電感L31與電容C31所形成的阻抗匹配電路350,將可阻隔一特定電壓下的靜電訊號。After the capacitor C31 has the function of transmitting the RF signal and blocking the electrostatic signal, the capacitor C31 disposed in the path between the RF switch 330 and the RF circuit 340 can transmit the RF signal received by the built-in antenna 310 or the external antenna to The RF circuit 340 blocks the static signal from entering the RF circuit 340, so that the RF circuit 340 can cooperate with the built-in antenna 310 or an external antenna to receive the RF signal correspondingly. On the other hand, since the inductor L31 has a function of transmitting an electrostatic signal and blocking the RF signal, when an electrostatic discharge event occurs, the inductor L31 can directly introduce the electrostatic signal into the ground on the path between the RF switch 330 and the RF circuit 340. The electrostatic signal is prevented from entering the RF circuit 340, thereby achieving the effect of electrostatic protection, and the RF signal can still be transmitted to the RF circuit 340. It should be noted that the inductor L31 and the capacitor C31 form an impedance matching circuit 350 between the built-in antenna 310 and the RF circuit 340 to reduce the loss of the RF signal in the RF device 300. When the impedance value of the inductor L31 is maintained within a first range, and the impedance value of the capacitor C31 is maintained within a second range, the impedance matching circuit 350 formed by the inductor L31 and the capacitor C31 can block a specific voltage. Static signal.

在上述射頻裝置200之一實例中,該射頻訊號之特定範圍為頻率大於或等於750MHz,且當靜電訊號的特定電壓為±8kv時,上述之第一範圍為電容C31之阻抗值小於或等於39pF,且第二範圍為電感L31之阻抗值小於或等於56nH。故依據上述設定,射頻裝置300適用於全球行動通信系統(GSM)、全球定位系統(GPS)、英國電信BT、日本電信KDDI、以及各種通訊標準例如CDMA、WCDMA、藍芽(Blue Tooth)、WiFi、WiMax、DVB-H所規範之頻段,且其靜電防護至少可通過IEC61000-4-2測試規範中第3等級(空氣放電+/-8kv)的測試條件。另一方面,上述之內建天線310可為一單極天線或一寬頻天線。In an example of the radio frequency device 200, the specific range of the radio frequency signal is a frequency greater than or equal to 750 MHz, and when the specific voltage of the electrostatic signal is ±8 kV, the first range is that the impedance value of the capacitor C31 is less than or equal to 39 pF. And the second range is that the impedance value of the inductor L31 is less than or equal to 56 nH. Therefore, according to the above settings, the radio frequency device 300 is applicable to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS), British Telecom BT, Japan Telecom KDDI, and various communication standards such as CDMA, WCDMA, Bluetooth (Blue Tooth), WiFi. The frequency bands specified by WiMax and DVB-H, and their static protection can pass at least the test condition of the third level (air discharge +/- 8kv) in the IEC61000-4-2 test specification. On the other hand, the built-in antenna 310 described above may be a monopole antenna or a wideband antenna.

然熟習此技術者應知,當射頻裝置300操作在不同的頻段時,也就是在接收不同頻率的射頻訊號下,射頻裝置300只需調整用以限定電感L31與電容C31之阻抗值的特定範圍,就可同時達到具有靜電防護與阻抗匹配之功效。故上述所舉之數值只是本發明之一實施例,不應以此限定本發明。此外,由於天線的種類會隨著科技的日新月異而不斷地變更,故用以作為內建天線310之天線種類,也不應侷限於上述所舉之例子。It should be understood by those skilled in the art that when the radio frequency device 300 operates in different frequency bands, that is, when receiving radio frequency signals of different frequencies, the radio frequency device 300 only needs to adjust a specific range for limiting the impedance values of the inductor L31 and the capacitor C31. It can achieve the effect of electrostatic protection and impedance matching at the same time. Therefore, the above numerical values are only one embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention should not be limited thereto. In addition, since the type of the antenna is constantly changing with the rapid development of technology, the type of antenna used as the built-in antenna 310 should not be limited to the above-mentioned examples.

更進一步來看,圖4繪示為用以說明圖3所示之實施例之阻抗匹配電路結構示意圖。參照圖4,阻抗匹配電路320包括電容C41~C44以及電感L41。其中電容C41電性連接至內建天線310。電感L41則電性連接在電容C41與射頻開關320之間。此外,電容C42之兩端分別各自電性連接電感L41的第一端與地端。且電容C43與C44之兩端則分別各自電性連接電感L41的第二端與地端。在此,阻抗匹配電路320可透過調整電容C41~C44以及電感L41的阻抗值,來致使內建天線310之阻抗匹配到射頻開關330之阻抗,進而降低射頻訊號於射頻裝置300中的損失。Further, FIG. 4 is a schematic structural view of the impedance matching circuit for illustrating the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 4, the impedance matching circuit 320 includes capacitors C41 to C44 and an inductor L41. The capacitor C41 is electrically connected to the built-in antenna 310. The inductor L41 is electrically connected between the capacitor C41 and the RF switch 320. In addition, the two ends of the capacitor C42 are electrically connected to the first end and the ground end of the inductor L41, respectively. The two ends of the capacitors C43 and C44 are electrically connected to the second end of the inductor L41 and the ground end, respectively. Here, the impedance matching circuit 320 can adjust the impedance of the capacitors C41 ~ C44 and the inductor L41 to match the impedance of the built-in antenna 310 to the impedance of the RF switch 330, thereby reducing the loss of the RF signal in the RF device 300.

圖5繪示為依據本發明又一實施例之具有靜電防護的射頻裝置結構示意圖。參照圖5,射頻裝置500包括內建天線510、阻抗匹配電路520、射頻開關530、電感L51與L52、電容C51以及射頻電路540。射頻裝置500的電性連接方式以及工作原理都與射頻裝置300相似,主要都是利用阻抗匹配電路520來致使內建天線510之阻抗與射頻開關530之阻抗相互匹配。而射頻開關532則是依據預設連接端532是否與一外接天線(未繪示出)相互電性連接,來致使訊號連接端533電性連接至固定連接端531與預設連接端532其中之一。如此一來,射頻裝置500將可透過內建天線510或外接天線來接收一射頻訊號,其中射頻訊號之頻率維持在一特定範圍內,並且此時亦可能有靜電訊號藉由內建天線510或外接天線進入射頻裝置中。FIG. 5 is a schematic structural view of a radio frequency device with static electricity protection according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the radio frequency device 500 includes a built-in antenna 510, an impedance matching circuit 520, a radio frequency switch 530, inductors L51 and L52, a capacitor C51, and a radio frequency circuit 540. The electrical connection mode and working principle of the radio frequency device 500 are similar to those of the radio frequency device 300. The impedance matching circuit 520 is mainly used to cause the impedance of the built-in antenna 510 to match the impedance of the RF switch 530. The RF switch 532 is electrically connected to the external connection end 531 and the preset connection end 532 according to whether the preset connection end 532 is electrically connected to an external antenna (not shown). One. As a result, the RF device 500 can receive an RF signal through the built-in antenna 510 or an external antenna, wherein the frequency of the RF signal is maintained within a specific range, and at this time, there may be an electrostatic signal through the built-in antenna 510 or The external antenna enters the RF device.

當射頻訊號或靜電訊號傳送至訊號連接端533時,若電容C51的阻抗值維持在一第一範圍內,且電感L52的阻抗值維持在一第二範圍內,由於電容C51具有傳遞射頻訊號並阻隔靜電訊號之功用,故設在射頻開關530與射頻電路540之間的路徑上的電容C51能夠將內建天線510或外接天線所接收之射頻訊號傳送至射頻電路540,並且能夠阻隔靜電訊號侵入射頻電路540中,使射頻電路540能配合內建天線510或外接天線來對應地接收射頻訊號。相對地,由於電感L52則是具有傳遞靜電訊號並阻隔射頻訊號之功用,故當靜電放電事件發生時,電感L52能夠在射頻開關530與射頻電路540之間的路徑上將靜電訊號直接導入地端,且射頻訊號則仍然能夠被傳送至射頻電路540。此外,電感L51與電容C51形成相對於內建天線510與射頻電路540之間的阻抗匹配電路550,將可阻隔一特定電壓下的靜電訊號。When the RF signal or the electrostatic signal is transmitted to the signal connection terminal 533, if the impedance value of the capacitor C51 is maintained within a first range, and the impedance value of the inductor L52 is maintained within a second range, since the capacitor C51 has a radio frequency signal and Blocking the function of the electrostatic signal, the capacitor C51 disposed in the path between the RF switch 530 and the RF circuit 540 can transmit the RF signal received by the built-in antenna 510 or the external antenna to the RF circuit 540, and can block the intrusion of the electrostatic signal. In the RF circuit 540, the RF circuit 540 can be configured to receive the RF signal correspondingly with the built-in antenna 510 or an external antenna. In contrast, since the inductor L52 has the function of transmitting an electrostatic signal and blocking the RF signal, when an electrostatic discharge event occurs, the inductor L52 can directly introduce the electrostatic signal into the ground between the RF switch 530 and the RF circuit 540. And the RF signal can still be transmitted to the RF circuit 540. In addition, the inductor L51 and the capacitor C51 form an impedance matching circuit 550 with respect to the built-in antenna 510 and the radio frequency circuit 540, which can block the electrostatic signal at a specific voltage.

然而,射頻裝置500與射頻裝置300最大不同之處在於,射頻裝置500之中更配設了電感L51。由於電感L51具有傳遞靜電訊號並阻隔射頻訊號之功效,故電感L51能在內建天線510與射頻開關530之間的路徑上,將藉由內建天線510進入射頻裝置之靜電訊號直接導入地端,而相對的,內建天線510所接收之射頻訊號則不會受到影響,同樣能夠通過阻抗匹配電路520進入射頻開關530,如此有助於提昇射頻裝置500的靜電防護功效。至於此實施例的其他細節部分,則包括在上述各個實施例中,在此不多加贅述。However, the maximum difference between the radio frequency device 500 and the radio frequency device 300 is that the inductance device L51 is further disposed in the radio frequency device 500. Since the inductor L51 has the function of transmitting an electrostatic signal and blocking the RF signal, the inductor L51 can directly introduce the electrostatic signal entering the RF device through the built-in antenna 510 into the ground between the built-in antenna 510 and the RF switch 530. On the other hand, the RF signal received by the built-in antenna 510 is not affected, and can also enter the RF switch 530 through the impedance matching circuit 520, which helps to improve the electrostatic protection effect of the RF device 500. The other details of this embodiment are included in the above various embodiments, and are not described here.

圖6繪示為依照本發明又一實施例之具有靜電防護的射頻裝置結構示意圖。參照圖6,射頻裝置600包括內建天線610、阻抗匹配電路620、射頻開關630、電感L61與L62、電容C61以及射頻電路640。其中阻抗匹配電路620電性連接在內建天線610與射頻開關630之固定連接端631之間。電容C61之兩端則電性連接在射頻開關630之訊號連接端633與射頻電路640之間。且電感L61電性連接在電容C61之第一端與地端之間,電感L62則電性連接在電容C61之第二端與地端之間。6 is a schematic structural view of a radio frequency device with static electricity protection according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the radio frequency device 600 includes a built-in antenna 610, an impedance matching circuit 620, a radio frequency switch 630, inductors L61 and L62, a capacitor C61, and a radio frequency circuit 640. The impedance matching circuit 620 is electrically connected between the built-in antenna 610 and the fixed connection end 631 of the RF switch 630. The two ends of the capacitor C61 are electrically connected between the signal connection end 633 of the RF switch 630 and the RF circuit 640. The inductor L61 is electrically connected between the first end of the capacitor C61 and the ground, and the inductor L62 is electrically connected between the second end of the capacitor C61 and the ground.

進一步來看射頻裝置600之動作流程。透過阻抗匹配電路620,使內建天線610之阻抗與射頻開關630之阻抗相互匹配。此外,射頻開關630之預設連接端632提供了一連接路徑給一外接天線(未繪示出),且射頻開關630會依據預設連接端632是否與外接天線電性連接,而致使訊號連接端633電性連接至固定連接端631或預設連接端632。故射頻裝置600可以依據預設連接端632的連接狀態,將內建天線610或外接天線所接收到的一射頻訊號傳送至訊號連接端633,其射頻訊號之頻率維持在一特定範圍內中,但此時亦可能有靜電訊號藉由內建天線610或外接天線進入射頻裝置中。Further, the action flow of the radio frequency device 600 is observed. The impedance of the built-in antenna 610 and the impedance of the RF switch 630 are matched to each other through the impedance matching circuit 620. In addition, the preset connection end 632 of the RF switch 630 provides a connection path to an external antenna (not shown), and the RF switch 630 causes the signal connection according to whether the preset connection end 632 is electrically connected to the external antenna. The end 633 is electrically connected to the fixed connection end 631 or the preset connection end 632. Therefore, the RF device 600 can transmit an RF signal received by the built-in antenna 610 or the external antenna to the signal connection end 633 according to the connection state of the preset connection end 632, and the frequency of the RF signal is maintained within a specific range. However, there may also be an electrostatic signal entering the radio frequency device through the built-in antenna 610 or an external antenna.

之後,若電容C61的阻抗值維持在一第一範圍內,且電感L61與L62的阻抗值維持在一第二範圍內,由於電容C61具有傳遞射頻訊號並阻隔靜電訊號之功用,故設在射頻開關630與射頻電路640之間的路徑上的電容C61能夠將內建天線610或外接天線所接收之射頻訊號傳送至射頻電路640,並且阻隔靜電訊號侵入射頻電路640,使射頻電路640能配合內建天線610或外接天線來對應地接收射頻訊號,另外,由於電感L61與L62具有傳遞靜電訊號並阻隔射頻訊號之功用,故當靜電放電事件發生時,電感L61與L62能夠在射頻開關630與射頻電路640之間的路徑上將靜電訊號直接導入地端,而射頻訊號則仍然能夠被傳送至射頻電路640。值得注意的是,電容C61與電感L61、L62形成相對於射頻開關630與射頻電路640之間的阻抗匹配電路650,可以達到阻隔一特定電壓下的靜電訊號。After that, if the impedance value of the capacitor C61 is maintained within a first range, and the impedance values of the inductors L61 and L62 are maintained within a second range, since the capacitor C61 has the function of transmitting an RF signal and blocking the electrostatic signal, it is set at the radio frequency. The capacitor C61 in the path between the switch 630 and the RF circuit 640 can transmit the RF signal received by the built-in antenna 610 or the external antenna to the RF circuit 640, and block the static signal from entering the RF circuit 640, so that the RF circuit 640 can be matched. The antenna 610 or the external antenna is configured to receive the RF signal correspondingly. In addition, since the inductors L61 and L62 have the function of transmitting the electrostatic signal and blocking the RF signal, when the electrostatic discharge event occurs, the inductors L61 and L62 can be in the RF switch 630 and the RF. The path between the circuits 640 directs the electrostatic signals directly to the ground, and the RF signals can still be transmitted to the RF circuit 640. It should be noted that the capacitor C61 and the inductors L61 and L62 form an impedance matching circuit 650 with respect to the RF switch 630 and the RF circuit 640, so as to block the electrostatic signal at a specific voltage.

此外,上述之特定範圍為射頻訊號之頻率大於或等於750MHz,且當靜電訊號的特定電壓為±8kv時,上述之第一範圍為電容C61之阻抗值小於或等於39pF,且第二範圍為電感L61與L62之阻抗值小於或等於56nH。故依據上述設定,射頻裝置600適用於全球行動通信系統、全球定位系統、英國電信BT、日本電信KDDI、以及各種通訊標準例如CDMA、WCDMA、藍芽(Blue Tooth)、WiFi、WiMax、DVB-H所規範之頻段,且其靜電防護至少可通過IEC61000-4-2測試規範中第3等級(空氣放電+/-8kv)的測試條件。至於此實施例之其他細節部分,則包含在上述各個實施例中,故在此不多加贅述。In addition, the specific range is that the frequency of the RF signal is greater than or equal to 750 MHz, and when the specific voltage of the electrostatic signal is ±8 kV, the first range is that the impedance of the capacitor C61 is less than or equal to 39 pF, and the second range is the inductance. The impedance values of L61 and L62 are less than or equal to 56nH. Therefore, according to the above settings, the radio frequency device 600 is applicable to the global mobile communication system, the global positioning system, the British Telecom BT, the Japanese telecommunications KDDI, and various communication standards such as CDMA, WCDMA, Bluetooth (Blue Tooth), WiFi, WiMax, DVB-H. The specified frequency band and its static protection can pass at least the test condition of level 3 (air discharge +/- 8kv) in the IEC61000-4-2 test specification. Other details of this embodiment are included in the above various embodiments, and thus are not described herein.

然而,值得注意的是,射頻裝置600也可在內建天線610與地端之間,加設一電感,如同圖5當中的電感L51一般,該電感能夠在內建天線610與射頻開關630之間的路徑上,將藉由內建天線610進入射頻裝置之靜電訊號直接導入地端,而相對的,內建天線610所接收之射頻訊號則不會受到影響,同樣能夠被傳送至阻抗匹配電路620。藉此,透過此電感電性連接在內建天線610與地端之間,來增強射頻裝置600的靜電防護功效。However, it is worth noting that the RF device 600 can also be provided with an inductor between the built-in antenna 610 and the ground. As in the inductor L51 in FIG. 5, the inductor can be built into the antenna 610 and the RF switch 630. In the inter-path, the static signal that enters the RF device through the built-in antenna 610 is directly introduced into the ground, and the RF signal received by the built-in antenna 610 is not affected, and can also be transmitted to the impedance matching circuit. 620. Thereby, the electrostatic protection effect of the radio frequency device 600 is enhanced by electrically connecting the built-in antenna 610 and the ground through the inductor.

綜上所述,本發明利用由電感與電容所組成的電路架構,來引導靜電訊號放電至地端,進而避免靜電放電事件對射頻裝置的損害。此外,由電感與電容所組成的電路架構,還具有阻抗匹配之功效,可有效地降低射頻訊號在射頻裝置中的損失。與傳統射頻裝置相較之下,本發明只採取由電容電感所組成的電路架構,就同時達到靜電防護與阻抗匹配之功效,不必為了避免靜電放電而特意保持天線與機殼間的距離。故本發明除了具備良好的靜電防護功效外,還具有微型化與提升射頻裝置之性能的優勢。In summary, the present invention utilizes a circuit structure consisting of an inductor and a capacitor to direct the discharge of the electrostatic signal to the ground end, thereby avoiding damage to the radio frequency device caused by the electrostatic discharge event. In addition, the circuit structure consisting of inductors and capacitors also has the function of impedance matching, which can effectively reduce the loss of RF signals in the RF device. Compared with the conventional radio frequency device, the present invention only adopts a circuit structure composed of a capacitive inductor, and at the same time achieves the effects of electrostatic protection and impedance matching, and does not have to intentionally maintain the distance between the antenna and the casing in order to avoid electrostatic discharge. Therefore, in addition to having good electrostatic protection effect, the present invention has the advantages of miniaturization and improved performance of the radio frequency device.

雖然本發明已以較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and any one of ordinary skill in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
