Description

一种射频功放电路、 控制方法及终端 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域中的射频功放技术, 尤其涉及一种射频功放电路、 控制方法及终端。 背景技术
随着终端功能的日益增多,终端上搭载的射频功率放大器( RFPA, Radio Frequency Power Amplifier )也日益增多, 这对终端省电设计提出了更高的 要求。 当终端工作在发射模式时, 射频功率放大器是最主要的耗能器件, 因此, 如何通过降低射频功率放大器的功耗来降低终端功耗是业界非常关 心的问题。
从射频功耗角度来看, 目前终端使用的射频功率放大器大多为线性射 频功率放大器, 传统的线性射频功放有高增益和低增益两种工作模式。 当 终端发射大功率时, 射频收发器( Radio Frequency Transiver )驱动控制射频 功率放大器处在高增益模式, 此时射频功率放大器的功耗较大; 当终端发 射小功率时, 射频收发器驱动控制射频功率放大器处在低增益模式, 此时 射频功率放大器的功耗较小。 但是, 即使在低增益模式下, 射频功率放大 器也产生一定功耗。 而且, 目前终端上搭载的射频功率放大器往往只有高 增益模式, 无论终端处在大功率发射状态还是小功率发射状态, 射频功率 放大器只能工作在功耗较大的高增益模式, 对终端的功耗有很大的影响。
图 1为现有的射频功放电路示意图, 如图 1所示, 射频收发器 11发射 的射频信号经过带通滤波器 12输入到射频功率放大器 13 , 与此同时,射频 功率放大器 13使能( Enable )信号控制射频功率放大器 13在终端处于发射 模式时打开, 使射频信号经射频功率放大器 13发射至天线(ANT ) 14端, 然后在终端处于空闲模式时关闭射频功率放大器 13, 结束整个发射流程。 在整个发射过程中, 终端实际发射的射频信号功率为射频收发器发出的射 频信号功率加上射频功率放大器的增益, 无论终端处于大功率发射状态还 是处于小功率发射状态, 对于只具有高增益模式的射频功率放大器来说, 射频功率放大器都处于一个固定的增益(放大倍数)模式, 消耗一定的功 耗, 如此, 无形中增加了功耗, 节能效率较低。 发明内容
有鉴于此, 本发明实施例的主要目的在于提供一种射频功放电路、 控 制方法及终端, 能降低终端处于小功率发射状态时的功耗。
为达到上述目的, 本发明实施例的技术方案是这样实现的:
本发明实施例提供了一种射频功放电路, 该电路包括射频收发器、 带 通滤波器、 第一双路射频开关、 射频功率放大器和天线; 其中,
所述带通滤波器的输入端与所述射频收发器输出端连接, 所述带通滤 波器的输出端通过所述第一双路射频开关分别与所述射频功率放大器输入 端及所述天线的输入端连接, 所述射频功率放大器的输出端与所述天线的 输入端连接; 所述射频功率放大器上连接有使能信号线; 所述第一双路射 频开关上连接有通用输入输出 (GPIO, General Purpose Input Output )控制 信号线。
