Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a system 100 for optimizing the matching of radio frequency through a greedy algorithm in matching the impedance of the antenna according to the embodiment includes an antenna impedance matching circuit 102, an antenna impedance adjusting part 104, a first radio frequency matching optimizing part 106 for antenna impedance matching, and a second radio frequency matching optimizing part 108 for antenna impedance matching.
The antenna impedance matching circuit 102 outputs mutual impedance values between present antenna impedances.
The antenna impedance adjusting part 104 is electrically connected to the antenna impedance matching circuit 102. The antenna impedance adjusting part 104 detects mutual impedance values between antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT from the antenna impedance matching circuit 102, thereby adjusting the voltages applied to the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT through at least one of variable capacitors VC1 and VC2 provided in the antenna impedance matching circuit 102, suitably for mutual impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT to be compensated , so that the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT are matched with each other.
In this case, antenna impedance adjusting part 104 may include an MCU (Micro Controller Unit).
In detail, the antenna impedance adjusting part 104 includes an antenna impedance detector 104a, an antenna impedance controller 104b, a digital-analogue converter 104c, and an antenna impedance adjusting unit 104d.
The antenna impedance detector 104a is electrically connected to the antenna impedance matching circuit 102 to detect the mutual impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT from the antenna impedance matching circuit 102.
The antenna impedance controller 104b is electrically connected to the antenna impedance detector 104a to compare present impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT with reference impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT, which are previously stored, and to perform a predetermined operation with respect to mutual impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT to be compensated.
The digital-analogue converter 104c is electrically connected to the antenna impedance controller 104b to convert digital signals, which correspond to the mutual impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT to be compensated, which are obtained from the antenna impedance controller 104b, into analogue signals.
The antenna impedance adjusting unit 104d is electrically connected to the digital-analogue converter 104c to receive the analog signals, which correspond to the mutual impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT to be compensated and are obtained through the D/A conversion of the digital-analogue converter 104c, thereby adjusting the voltages applied to the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT by using at least one of the variable capacitors VC1 and VC2 provided in the antenna impedance matching circuit 102 suitably for the mutual impedance values between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT to be compensated , so that the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT are matched with each other.
In this case, at least one of the variable capacitors VC1 and VC2 may include the first and second variable capacitors VC1 and VC2 electrically connected to each other in parallel between the antenna impedances Z1 and ZANT.
The first radio frequency matching optimizing part 106 for antenna impedance matching is electrically connected to the antenna impedance matching circuit 102 to set at least one of adjusted variable capacitor value VC1 and VC2, which are output from the antenna impedance matching circuit 102, as a coordinate P1 on a coordinate plane formed based on at least one capacitor value by using a lookup table shown in FIG. 3A when present antenna impedances are matched with each other through the antenna impedance adjusting part 104. Although impedance matching is performed on a 2-D plane formed based on two variable capacitor values according to the present disclosure, the embodiment is not limited thereto in the number of variable capacitors and the dimension of the coordinate plane.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3B, when at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor values VC1 and VC2 is in a region range R3 of region ranges R1, R2, and R3 of a reference variable capacitor based on the comparison with the region ranges R1, R2, and R3 of the reference variable capacitor defined by coordinates previously stored in the lookup table, the first radio frequency matching optimizing part 106 for antenna impedance matching performs optimization by matching the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor values VC1 and VC2 to a radio frequency band point in the region range R3 of the reference variable capacitor and storing the radio frequency band point in the region range R3 of the reference variable capacitor.
In this case, the region ranges R1, R2, and R3 of the reference variable capacitor may be set in predetermined size on the coordinate plane without overlapping with each other. For example, the region ranges R1, R2, and R3 of the reference variable capacitor may be set in predetermined size from the middle region of the coordinate plane to the end region thereof without overlapping with each other.
In other words, as shown in FIG. 3B, the first radio frequency matching optimizing part 106 for antenna impedance matching may sequentially search the region ranges R1, R2, and R3 of the reference variable capacitor whether the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor value VC1 and VC2 is in the region range R3 of the reference variable capacitor.
Next, when the coordinate P1 of the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor value VC1 and VC2 exists out of the coordinate range of the region range R3 of the reference variable capacitor, the first radio frequency matching optimizing part 106 for antenna impedance matching may skip the search operation in the region range R2 without the coordinate P1 among the region ranges R1, R, and R3 of the reference variable capacitor.
Next, after searching for the coordinate P1 of the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor values VC1 and VC2 in the region range R3 of the reference variable capacitor, the first radio frequency matching optimizing part 106 for antenna impedance matching performs optimization by matching the coordinate P1 of the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor values VC1 and VC2, which exist in the searched region range R3 of the reference variable capacitor, to the radio frequency band point in the searched region range R3 of the reference variable capacitor. According to the disclosure, the coordinate P1 may be a first coordinate.
The second radio frequency matching optimizing part 108 for antenna impedance matching is electrically connected to the antenna impedance matching circuit 102 to set at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor values VC1 and VC2, which are output from the antenna impedance matching circuit 102, to a coordinate P2 through a prediction algorithm as shown in FIG. 4A when next antenna impedances are matched with each other through the antenna impedance adjusting part 104. According to the disclosure, the coordinate P2 may be a second coordinate.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor values VC1 and VC2 exists in a region range R4 of the reference variable capacitor selected from among region ranges R1, R2, R3, R4 of the reference variable capacitor, the second radio frequency matching optimizing part 108 for antenna impedance matching performs optimization by matching the coordinate P2 of the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor values VC1 and VC2 to a radio frequency band point in the region range R4 of the reference variable capacitor after performing a search operation from the radio frequency band point in the region range R3 of the first reference variable capacitor, which is stored by the first radio frequency matching optimizing part 106 for antenna impedance matching.
In this case, the region ranges R1, R2, R3, and R4 of the reference variable capacitor may be classified in predetermined size on the coordinate plane without overlapping with each other.
In other words, as shown in FIG. 4B, the second radio frequency matching optimizing part 108 for antenna impedance matching can sequentially search the region ranges R1, R2, R3, and R4 of the reference variable capacitor whether the at least one of the adjusted variable capacitor value VC1 and VC2 is in the region range R4 of the reference variable capacitor among the region ranges R1, R2, R3, and R4 of the reference variable capacitor.
