其中,上述步骤的执行主体可以为终端等,但不限于此。
在一个示例性实施例中,晶体振荡器是对于热传导最为敏感的,同时晶体振荡器作为一个终端设备(例如手机)的心脏,它的准确程度又大大影响了手机系统中最依赖晶体振荡器准确度的GPS系统。所以在手机规划初期,给晶体振荡器选择一个在主板上合适的位置至关重要,这大大影响着一台手机的GPS性能。对于加速度的失败,实际上是信号在频域上的表现,如果出现超标的情况,会导致其频率特性的恶化,也就是灵敏度的恶化,从而造成GPS性能的恶化。
从图3可以看出晶体振荡器误差频率和加速度误差值的关系。对于加速度这个指标,通过多普勒频移公式,fm=移动台的移动速度υ/光速*(载波频率f0=1575.42MHz),所以对于1s加速度相当于1575.42*10^6/3*10^8=5.25hz/s。当加速度值和频率的对应关系发生畸变,则晶体振荡器组成的频率合成系统是存在误差的,但这些对应系统存在线性关系,因此也让补偿也变得可能。
通过上述步骤,由于确定终端设备相对于预定设备的速度信息,其中,上述速度信息包括加速度信息和矢量信息;将上述速度信息转化为与全球定位系统GPS设备对应的第一加速度值;基于上述第一加速度值和上述第二加速度值补偿上述终端设备中的晶体振荡器的频率,其中,上述第二加速度值是上述终端设备确定的上述GPS设备的实际加速度值。实现了利用修正由晶体周围发热器件瞬发抖动造成的GPS加速度误差值的目的。因此,可以解决相关技术中终端设备中的GPS性能的问题,达到提高终端设备中的GPS性能的效果。
在一个示例性实施例中,确定终端设备相对于预定设备的速度信息,包括:
S1,通过速度传感器获取终端设备相对于预定设备的加速度信息和矢量信息,其中,速度传感器设置在终端设备中。
在本实施例中,通过计算出终端设备相对于地球的加速度信息和矢量方向。将加速度信息和矢量方向转化为相对于GPS卫星的切向加速度值,从而通过这个值跟终端设备实际计算的GPS加速度值做对比,其误差值为热抖动造成的GPS失真的差值,将此差值换算成频率通过电路上的调节,补偿到参考晶振的频率合成器系统中,使得GPS由频率合成器系统误差导致的精度误差可以得到补偿。
在一个示例性实施例中,将速度信息转化为与全球定位系统GPS设备对应的第一加速度值,包括:
S1,将加速度信息和矢量信息按照预设规则转化为相对于GPS设备的切向加速度值,得到第一加速度。
在一个示例性实施例中,基于第一加速度值和第二加速度值补偿终端设备中的晶体振荡器的频率,包括:
S1,确定第一加速度值与第二加速度值的差值;
S2,将差值与预设阈值进行比对,得到比对结果;
S3,基于比对结果补偿晶体振荡器的频率。
在本实施例中,在第一加速度对应的频率值为A、第二加速度对应的频率为X、预设阈值是C的情况下,比对结果包括X-A<C。
C值可定义为一个常量,按终端设备的移动特点,可能出现移动速度较大的情况,但加速度很大并且持久的情况并不多,C在数值为±C,代表X实测值的一个范围值。
在一个示例性实施例中,基于比对结果补偿晶体振荡器的频率,包括:
S1,在差值大于或等于预设阈值的情况下,确定第二加速度值与预设阈值的和值;
S2,利用和值补偿晶体振荡器的频率。
在一个示例性实施例中,基于比对结果补偿晶体振荡器的频率,包括:
在差值小于预设阈值的情况下,终止对晶体振荡器的频率补偿。
在本实施例中,如图4所示,本实施例中的频率补偿的步骤包括:
S401:加速度传感器输出当前坐标系加速度,即速度信息;
S402:将速度信息换算成切向加速度,即第一加速度;
S403:换算成当前理论晶振加速度和频偏频率对应值;
S404:实测GPS设备晶振频偏频率,即第二加速度;
S405:在第一加速度对应的频率值为A、第二加速度对应的频率为X、预设阈值是C的情况下,在满足X-A<C的情况下,终止补偿流程(S406);
S407:在不满足X-A<C的情况下,补偿频率值为X+A(S408)。
通过以上的实施方式的描述,本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到根据上述实施例的方法可借助软件加必需的通用硬件平台的方式来实现,当然也可以通过硬件,但很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。基于这样的理解,本申请的技术方案本质上或者说对现有技术做出贡献的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来,该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质(如ROM/RAM、磁碟、光盘)中,包括若干指令用以使得一台终端设备(可以是手机,计算机,服务器,或者网络设备等)执行本申请各个实施例所述的方法。
在本实施例中还提供了一种频率补偿电路,该电路用于实现上述实施例及优选实施方式,已经进行过说明的不再赘述。如以下所使用的,术语“单元”可以实现预定功能的软件和/或硬件的组合。尽管以下实施例所描述的装置较佳地以软件来实现,但是硬件,或者软件和硬件的组合的实现也是可能并被构想的。
如图5所示,是一个wifi芯片待机状态和路由器断续待机通讯时的对晶体振荡器的影响实施例。由主板布局图所示wifi芯片布局在晶体振荡器的背面,器件在水平面的距离2mm左右。Wifi芯片工作时导致的GPS的加速度指标超标。这个实施例说明了现在主板在晶体振荡器上布局的困局,而且在下一代5G主板上这个矛盾会更加的突出。为解决上述技术问题,提出了一种频率补偿电路,如图6所示,是根据本申请实施例的频率补偿电路的结构框图,该装置包括:
速度传感器,用于获取终端设备相对于预设设备的速度信息,其中,速度信息包括加速 度信息和矢量信息,速度传感器设置在终端设备中;
主控芯片控制单元,用于将速度信息转化为与全球定位系统GPS设备对应的第一加速度值;
可变电容控制单元,用于基于第一加速度值和第二加速度值补偿终端设备中的晶体振荡器的频率,其中,第二加速度值是终端设备确定的GPS设备的实际加速度值。
在一个示例性实施例中,上述电路还包括:
主控芯片控制单元,还用于将加速度信息和矢量信息按照预设规则转化为相对于GPS设备的切向加速度值,得到第一加速度。

可变电容控制单元,还用于确定第一加速度值与第二加速度值的差值;还用于将差值与预设阈值进行比对,得到比对结果;还用于基于比对结果补偿晶体振荡器的频率。
在上述实施例中,在参考晶振和频率合成器整个模块中加入和额外可变电容控制单元(即可变电容模块),这个单元可以在外围电路附加,也可以是频率合成器中集成,主要目的是控制频率合成器最终输出的频率满足对GPS加速度实测值的误差补偿。
主控芯片控制单元可以在手机本身处理器中集成,也可以采用一颗单独的控制芯片。主要完成对加速度传感器输出值的处理,换算,也就是图四的全部过程,再通过输出控制信号包含电压控制(但不仅限于电压控制,也可以是i2C,SDI,mipi等数字控制),控制可变电容模块工作,补偿GPS加速度实测值的误差。其补偿原理是针对晶体振荡器硬件的补偿,有别于软件上补偿修正,其更加根源的解决热瞬变对晶体振荡器的影响,补偿有效且单一,不会像软件补偿那样带来其他误差分量。
需要说明的是,上述各个模块是可以通过软件或硬件来实现的,对于后者,可以通过以下方式实现,但不限于此:上述模块均位于同一处理器中;或者,上述各个模块以任意组合的形式分别位于不同的处理器中。
