下面以具体地实施例对本申请的技术方案进行详细说明。下面这几个具体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。
图1为本申请实施例提供的一种无线接收机的结构示意图,如图1所示,本实施例的无线接收机包括:射频前级电路和射频后级电路。
其中,射频后级电路包括增益处理电路,增益处理电路包括多个增益通道,各增益通道对应的增益不同。射频前级电路用于从射频天线接收第一射频信号,并对第一射频信号进行处理,得到第二射频信号;射频后级电路用于通过增益处理电路中的一个或者多个增益通道对第二射频信号进行处理,得到第三射频信号,以使根据第三射频信号得到的数字信号的强度满足预设条件。
本实施例中,射频前级电路是指位于射频收发信机(本实施例中也可以称为射频后级电路)和射频天线之间的电路。射频前级电路用于对从射频天线接收到的第一射频信号进行处理,并将得到的第二射频信号传输给射频收发信机,以使射频收发信机对第二射频信号进行后续的处理。
其中,射频前级电路可以包括:滤波器、低噪声放大器(Low Noise Amplifier,LNA)等。其中,滤波器用于滤除带外噪声或系统噪声。低噪声放大器也可以称为低噪放,是对接收信号的一种线性放大的射频器件,其核心的指标是工作频段、噪声系数(Noise Figure,简称NF)、增益和最大输入功率(这个是为了防止低噪放再大信号饱和,导致接收信号失真)。低噪声放大器用于对从射频天线接收到的第一射频信号进行增益处理。图2A和图2B为两种可能的低噪声放大器的结构示意图。如图2A所示,是一种不带直通功能的低噪声放大器,由一个使能端控制低噪声放大器处于工作状态或者关闭状态;如图2B所示,是一种带直通(bypass)功能的低噪声放大器,在芯片内部集成了一个开关通道,通过控制端来控制低噪声放大器处于信号放大工作状态还是处于信号直通工作状态。需要说明的是,图2A和图2B仅为两种可能的低噪放的结构示意,实际应用中还可以采用其他的结构,如图2C所示,本实施例对此不作限定。
射频后级电路是指位于射频前级电路和基带系统之间的电路。射频后级电路可以为射频收发信机对应的电路。射频后级电路用于对从射频前级电路接收到的第二射频信号进行处理,得到第三射频信号。其中,上述处理过程可以包括增益放大处理、混频处理等,使得得到的第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度满足预设条件。预设条件可以是指数字信号的强度达到接收机中频信号的强度范围,即信号强度浮动在一定范围之间,避免出现信号紊乱。
如图1所示,射频后级电路包括多个增益通道,各增益通道对应的增益不同。示例性的,当包括两个增益通道时,两个增益通道可以分别为高增益通道和低增益通道,高增益通道对应的增益大于低增益通道对应的增益。当包括三个增益通道时,三个增益通道可以分别为高增益通道、中增益通道和低增益通道,高增益通道对应的增益大于中增益通道对应的增益,中增益通道对应的增益大于低增益通道对应的增益。当然,还可以包括更多数量的增益通道,本实施例对于增益通道的数量不作限定。
能够理解,当无线接收机应用于不同的场景时,或者即使是应用于同一场景时,在不同时刻无线接收机的射频天线接收到的第一射频信号的强度不同。本实施例中,当射频前级电路从射频天线接收到第一射频信号之后,射频前级电路先对第一射频信号进行处理,得到第二射频信号。然后,射频后级电路可以根据第二射频信号选择采用增益处理电路中的不同的增益通道对第二射频信号进行处理。例如:当第二射频信号 的强度较低时,可以采用高增益通道对第二射频信号进行处理,当第二射频信号的强度较高时,可以采用低增益通道对第二射频信号进行处理。这样,通过根据第二射频信号的强度采用不同的增益通道进行处理,能够保证得到的第三射频信号的强度在一定范围内,从而使得第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度满足接收机中频信号的强度范围。
其中,射频后级电路对第二射频信号进行处理时,可以选择其中的一个增益通道,也可以选择其中的多个增益通道,本实施例对此不作限定。
本实施例中,无线接收机包括:射频前级电路和射频后级电路;射频后级电路包括增益处理电路,增益处理电路包括多个增益通道,各增益通道对应的增益不同;射频前级电路用于从射频天线接收第一射频信号,并对第一射频信号进行处理,得到第二射频信号;射频后级电路用于通过增益处理电路中的一个或者多个增益通道对第二射频信号进行处理,得到第三射频信号,以使根据第三射频信号得到的数字信号的强度满足预设条件。由于射频后级电路中的增益处理电路包括多个增益通道,各增益通道对应的增益不同,射频后级电路可以根据第二射频信号的强度选择采用增益处理电路中的不同的增益通道对第二射频信号进行处理,这样能够保证得到的第三射频信号的强度在一定范围内,从而使得第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度满足预设条件,从而无线接收机能够接收并处理不同信号强度的射频信号,使得无线接收机可以应用于各种不同的场景中。
图3为本申请实施例提供的另一种无线接收机的结构示意图。在图1所示实施例的基础上,本实施例对于增益通道和射频前级电路的可能的结构进行详细说明。
无线接收机包括:射频前级电路和射频后级电路。
其中,射频后级电路包括增益处理电路,增益处理电路包括多个增益通道,各增益通道对应的增益不同;如图3所示,每个增益通道包括级联设置的多个第一低噪声放大器,每个第一低噪声放大器包括三种工作状态:直通态、放大态、衰减态。
本实施例中,对于每个增益通道中的第一低噪声放大器的数量不作限定。图3中以四级为例进行示意。如图3所示,每个增益通道包括级联设置的四个第一低噪声放大器,每个第一低噪声放大器包括三种工作状态:直通态、放大态、衰减态。示例性的,每个增益通道可以由四个第一低噪声放大器级联组成。有些场景中,每个增益通道还可以采用八个 第一低噪声放大器进行级联。能够理解,由四个低噪声放大器级联组成的增益通道处理的信号强度范围相对与由八个低噪声放大器级联组成的增益通道处理的信号强度范围小,增益通道里包括的第一低噪声放大器个数越多,处理的信号强度的范围越广。当然,还可以包括更多数量的第一低噪声放大器,本实施例对于第一低噪声放大器级联的个数不做限定。
能够理解,当无线接收机应用于不同的场景时,或者即使是应用于同一场景时,在不同时刻无线接收机的射频天线接收到的第一射频信号的强度不同。本实施例中,当射频前级电路从射频天线接收到第一射频信号之后,射频前级电路里的第二低噪声放大器先对第一射频信号进行处理,得到第二射频信号。然后,射频后级电路可以根据第二射频信号选择不同的增益通道,同时使得第一低噪声放大器处于不同的工作状态。例如:当第二射频信号的强度较低时,可以采用高增益通道,使高增益通道里级联的第一低噪声放大器中的一个或者多个处于放大态来处理第二射频信号,当第二射频信号的强度较高时,可以采用低增益通道,使低增益通道里级联的第一低噪声放大器中的一个或者多个处于衰减态来处理第二射频信号,当第二射频信号的强度适中时,可以选择高低增益通道里的任一增益通道,使增益通道里级联的第一低噪声放大器都处于直通态来处理第二射频信号。这样可以根据第二射频信号的强度采用不同的增益通道和不同工作状态的第一低噪声放大器进行处理。这样,通过根据第二射频信号的强度采用不同的增益通道及不同工作状态的第一低噪声放大器进行处理,能够保证得到的第三射频信号的强度在一定范围内,从而使得第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度满足预设条件。
其中,射频后级电路对第二射频信号进行处理时,可以选择其中的一个增益通道,也可以选择其中的多个增益通道,本实施例对此不作限定。
本实施例中,由于每个增益通道包括级联设置的多个第一低噪声放大器,每个第一低噪声放大器包括三种工作状态:直通态、放大态、衰减态,那么就可以通过根据第二射频信号的强度采用不同的增益通道及不同工作状态的第一低噪声放大器进行处理,能够保证得到的第三射频信号的强度在一定范围内,从而使得第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度满足预设条件,即使射频后级电路既可以处理弱信号,又可以处理强信号,增大了射频后级电路能够接收并处理射频信号的强度范围,从而增大无线接收机能够接收并处理的射频信号的强度范围,使得无线接收机可以应用于各种不同的场景中。
可选的,射频前级电路包括第二低噪声放大器,第二低噪声放大器包括三种工作状态:直通态、放大态、衰减态。
本实施例中,如图3所示,射频前级电路包括第二低噪声放大器。射频前级电路从射频天线接收到第一射频信号后,通过第二低噪声放大器对第一射频信号进行处理,得到第二射频信号。其中,第二低噪声放大器对第一射频信号进行处理时,可以进行信号直通处理、信号放大处理或信号衰减处理。示例性的,可以通过在第二低噪声放大器中集成控制模块,通过控制模块控制第二低噪声放大器是工作在直通态还是放大态还是衰减态。
能够理解,当无线接收机应用于不同的场景时,或者即使是应用于同一场景时,在不同时刻无线接收机的射频天线接收到的第一射频信号的强度不同。本实施例中,当射频前级电路从射频天线接收到第一射频信号之后,可以根据第一射频信号的强度选择第二低噪声放大器的工作状态。例如,当第一射频信号的强度较弱时,可以使第二低噪声放大器的工作状态处于放大态以得到第二射频信号,当第一射频信号的强度较强时,可以使第二低噪声放大器的工作状态处于衰减态以得到第二射频信号,当第一射频信号的强度中等时,可以使第二低噪声放大器的工作状态处于直通态态以得到第二射频信号。这样,通过根据第一射频信号的强度采用不同工作状态第二低噪声放大器进行处理,能够保证第二射频信号经过处理后得到第三射频信号的强度范围在一定范围内,从而使得第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度满足预设条件。
本实施例中,由于射频前级电路还包括了第二低噪声放大器,第二低噪声放大器包括直通态、放大态、衰减态三种工作状态,那么就可以根据第一射频信号使得第二低噪声放大器处于不同的工作状态进行处理得到第二射频信号,增强射频前级电路的比较优良的接收性能,同时这样射频前级电路既可以处理弱信号,又可以处理强信号,增大了射频前级电路能够接收并处理射频信号的强度范围,从而增大无线接收机能够接收并处理的射频信号的强度范围,使得无线接收机可以应用于各种不同的场景中。

图5为本申请实施例提供的再一种无线接收机的结构示意图,在图4所示实施例的基础上,本实施例对射频后级电路可能的结构进行详细说明。
射频后级电路还包括:增益控制电路和串行总线接口(Single-Wire Serial Bus Interface,简称SSBI)控制器。
其中,SSBI控制器分别与增益控制电路和第二低噪声放大器连接。增益控制电路用于根据增益处理电路输出的第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度,确定第二低噪声放大器的目标工作状态,并通过SSBI控制器控制第二低噪声放大器工作在目标工作状态。
一种可能的实现方式,如图6所示,增益控制电路里包括:接收信号估计模块、增益有限状态机、射频NV参数、以及自动控制补偿控制模块。其中,接收信号估计模块根据增益处理电路输出的第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度确定出对应的RSSI值,增益有限状态机根据增益处 理电路输出的第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度该对应的RSSI值,确定第二低噪声放大器的目标工作状态,并通过状态字控制SSBI控制器,使SSBI控制器根据控制字控制第二低噪声放大器工作在当前RSSI值对应的工作状态,即目标工作状态(直通态或放大态或衰减态)。示例性的,RSSI<-100dBm,则第二低噪声放大器处于放大态。
其中,射频NV参数是用于控制射频功率或者射频接收信号强度等相关射频非遗失性参数,即non-volatile memory,包括由目标增益通道的当前系统增益以及第二低噪声放大器的目标工作状态对应的当前增益相加得出的当前RSSI对应的目标增益通道的系统增益。
可选地,增益控制电路还用于根据数字信号的强度确定增益处理电路的目标增益通道,根据目标增益通道的系统增益以及第二低噪声放大器的目标工作状态对应的增益,确定目标增益通道中的各第一低噪声放大器各自对应的目标工作状态,并控制各第一低噪声放大器工作在各自对应的目标工作状态下。
一种可能的实现方式,增益控制电路中的接收信号估计模块根据增益处理电路输出的第三射频信号对应的数字信号的强度确定出对应的RSSI值,增益有限状态机还根据该数字信号的强度对应的RSSI值确定增益处理电路的目标增益通道。示例性的,增益有限状态机根据表1或者表2中的RSSI值与目标增益通道的对应关系来确定增益处理电路的目标增益通道。确定了目标增益通道后,根据图7所示的四级低噪声放大器增益切换示意图确定出目标增益通道中的各第一低噪声放大器各自对应的目标工作状态,并控制调用射频NV参数使各第一低噪声放大器工作在各自对应的工作状态下。同时控制补偿控制模块控制DVGA对数字信号进行增益补偿,从而完成系统增益的自动控制。
对于上述实施例中目标增益通道的选择和第一、第二低噪声放大器的目标工作状态的确定,通过以下示例说明。
例如,针对一种信号强度的场景,如表1中的信号场景,同时使能高增益通道和低增益通道。表1为不同的信号场景对应的目标增益通道和第二低噪声放大器的映射关系。如表1所示,根据这张表系统就可以进行增益自适应调整,即根据实时监控到的信号强度状态,进行实时的对第一低噪放和第二低噪放的状态控制和切换,表中信号场景的RSSI的具体值是可根据实际系统的工作状态进行调整的。例如:RSSI<-100dBm,根据表1就可以知道第二低噪声放大器的工作状态为增益态,目标增益通道为高增益通道。再根据图7所示的四级低噪放增益切换示意图确定出目标增益通道中的各第一低噪声放大器各自对应的目标工作状态,并 控制调用射频NV参数使各第一低噪声放大器工作在各自对应的工作状态下,完成系统增益的自动控制。例如RSSI从小于-100dBm逐渐增大到-75dBm,目标增益通道的各第一低噪声放大器的工作状态由四级放大态切换到三级放大态。
表1

针对另一种信号强度的场景,如表2中所示的信号场景,只使能高增益通道或低增益通道中的一个增益通道。表2为另一不同的信号场景对应的目标增益通道和第二低噪声放大器的映射关系。如表2所示,根据这张表系统就可以进行增益自适应调整,表中信号场景的RSSI的具体值是可根据实际系统的工作状态进行调整的。例如:RSSI<-85dBm,根据表2就可以知道第二低噪声放大器的工作状态为增益态,目标增益通道可以为高增益通道或低增益通道中的任一通道。再根据图7所示的四级低噪放增益切换示意图确定出目标增益通道中的各第一低噪声放大器各自对应的目标工作状态,并控制调用射频NV参数使各第一低噪声放大器工作在各自对应的工作状态下,完成系统增益的自动控制。例如RSSI从小于-85dBm逐渐增大到-75dBm,目标增益通道的各第一低噪声放大器的工作状态由四级增益态切换到三级增益态。
表2
Figure PCTCN2020135917-appb-000002
进一步地,目标增益通道的选择及射频NV参数里包括的目标增益通道的增益值的计算过程通过以下示例详细说明。
为了保证整个系统增益切换的平滑度,一种行之有效的方法就是调整 第二低噪声放大器和目标增益通道的增益,保证系统的总增益和目标增益通道的增益相匹配,可以允许有一部分的误差,其中g表示增益误差,一般来讲g=5dB,也就是增益误差在5dB范围内不会对整个接收信号处理带来较大的影响,即将目标增益通道的系统增益以及第二低噪声放大器的目标工作状态对应的增益相加,计算出当前RSSI对应的目标增益通道的系统增益,将计算出的当前RSSI对应的目标增益通道的系统增益存储到射频NV参数里,以供增益自适应调节的时候直接调用。
图8A为本申请实施例提供的一种增益匹配逻辑示意图;图8B为本申请实施例提供的另一种增益匹配逻辑示意图;图8C为本申请实施例提供的又一种增益匹配示意逻辑示意图;图9A为本申请实施例提供的一种有限状态机状态控制切换图;图9B为本申请实施例提供的另一种有限状态机状态控制切换图。
一种可能实现的方式:目标增益通道为低增益通道,如图8A所示,或者,目标增益通道为高增益通道,如图8B所示。这种两种情况下,系统的总增益公式如下公式1或者公式2。
低增益通道增益:
GSL i’=∑a i*AL i+b i*KL i+c i*GL i=GSL i±g≈GSL i    (公式1)
其中,i表示的是第i级第一低噪声放大器,取值可以为1,2,3或4。ai,bi,ci表示的是第i级的状态,取值可以为0,1,0表示第一低噪声放大器的工作状态处于直通态,1表示第一低噪声放大器的工作状态处于放大态或者衰减态。ALi表示低增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于衰减态时的增益值,KLi表示低增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于直通态时的增益值,GLi表示低增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于放大态时的增益值。g为系统的增益误差默认是5。
高增益通道增益:
GSH i’=∑a i*AH i+b i*KH i+c i*GH i=GSH i±g≈GSL i    (公式2)
其中,i表示的是第i级第一低噪声放大器,取值可以为1,2,3或4。a i,b i,c i表示的是第i级的状态,取值可以为0,1,0表示第一低噪声放大器的工作状态处于直通态,1表示第一低噪声放大器的工作状态处于放大态或者衰减态。AH i表示高增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于衰减态时的增益值,KH i表示高增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于直通态时的增益值,GH i表示高增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于放大态时的增益值。g为系统的增益误差默认是5。
例如,表3为本申请实施例提供的八级增益等级切换的映射表。由表3可以看出目标增益通道为高增益通道,也就是通过增益自适应调整使得 目标增益通道切换到高增益通道,并且使得每个第一低噪放的增益等级为:GH1,GH2,GH4,GH5,GH6,GH7,GH6,GH6。同时根据表3可看出,第二低噪声放大器的增益等级为:G2,G2,G2,G2,G2,G2,G1,G0。各第二低噪声放大器的工作状态为state0:衰减态,衰减-4dB;state1:直通态,衰减0dB;state2:增益态,增益13dB。
表3
Figure PCTCN2020135917-appb-000003
第二低噪声放大器在前六级都是处于放大模式,第七级处于直通模式,第八级处于衰减模式。这样在弱信号到较强信号的场景下第二低噪声放大器一直处于放大状态,根据噪声系数的级联理论,整个系统工作的噪声系数最小,接收的灵敏度优良;在较强的信号场景下,第二低噪声放大器处于直通模式,保证了接收机在强信号输入下接收机不会饱和;在极强的信号场景下,第二低噪声放大器放处于衰减模式,提高了接收机的最大动态范围。
通过第二低噪声放大器的增益状态和高增益通道的增益状态的组合,实现最终的增益的库,只要服从增益根据信号强弱,从低到高线性增加,同时重新组合的系统增益和扩展之后的系统增益的增益误差保持在gdB范围之内,就可以实现图9A的状态切换。
另一种可能的实现方式:如图8C所示,目标增益通道为高增益通道和低增益通道,这种情况下,系统的增益公式如下公式3。
GS i’=∑(a i*AL i+b i*KL i+c i*GL i)+∑(s i*AH i+t i*KHi+r i*GH i)=GS i±g≈GS i    (公式3)
其中,i表示的是第i级第一低噪声放大器,取值可以为1,2,3或4。a i,b i,c i,s i,t i,r i表示的是第i级的状态,取值可以为0,1,0表示第一低噪声放大器的工作状态处于直通态,1表示第一低噪声放大器的工作状态处于放大态或者衰减态。AL i表示低增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器 处于衰减态时的增益值,KL i表示低增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于直通态时的增益值,GL i表示低增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于放大态时的增益值;AH i表示高增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于衰减态时的增益值,KH i表示高增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于直通态时的增益值,GH i表示高增益通道里第i级第一低噪声放大器处于放大态时的增益值。g为系统的增益误差默认是5。
例如,表4为本申请实施例提供的另一种八级增益等级切换的映射表。由表4可以看出目标增益通道为高增益通道和低增益通道,也就是增益自适应调整使得目标增益通道切换到高增益通道和低增益通道,各第二低噪声放大器的增益态为state0:衰减态,衰减-4dB;state1:直通态,衰减0dB;state2:增益态,增益13dB。
表4

通过第二低噪声放大器的增益状态和高、低增益通道的增益状态的组合,实现最终的增益的库,只要服从增益根据信号强弱,从低到高线性 增加,同时重新组合的系统增益和扩展之后的系统增益的增益误差保持在gdB范围之内,就可以实现图9B的状态切换。
