在其中一个实施例中，该第一收发模块200中配置两个天线端口ANT1、ANT2，每个天线端口ANT1、ANT2用于传输不同频段的4G/5G信号。示例性的，B1/N1、B3/N3频段的4G/5G信号可通过天线端口ANT1传输，其B7/N7、B41/N41频段的4G/5G信号可通过天线端口ANT2传输。该多通道选择开关210可包括两个第一端和多个第二端。其中，多通道选择开关210的两个第一端可分别一一对应与第一收发模块200的两个天线端口ANT1、ANT2对应连接，该多通道选择开关210的多个第二端可对应与该多路发射通路和多路接收通路连接，以实现对多个预设频段的4G/5G信号的收发控制。

射频系统反馈信道信息有预编码矩阵指示符(Precoding Matrix Indicator，PMI)和信道探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，SRS)这两种不同的模式。从标准定义上看，PMI是所有5G通信设备必须支持的功能，SRS则是可选功能。PMI是基站通过一种预先设定的机制，依靠终端测量后辅以各种量化算法，来估计信道信息和资源要求，并上报给基站；而SRS则是利用信道互易性让包括射频系统的通信设备直接将信道信息上报给基站，显然后者更加精确。通信设备发送SRS信息即是用于基站探测终端位置和信道质量的方式；其中SRS天线轮发具体说明如下：
其一，1T1R：固定在第一天线Ant1向基站反馈信息，不支持SRS轮发；
其一，1T4R：在第一天线Ant1到第四天线Ant4轮流发射SRS信息，每次只选择一个天线发射，目前非独立组网采用这种模式；
其三，2T4R：在第一天线Ant1到第四天线Ant4轮流发射SRS信息，每次选择两个天线同时发射，目前独立组网采用这种模式。
在SRS模式下，能够参与发送参考信号的天线数量越多，信道估计就越准，进而能获得的速率越高；天线数量相同时，独立组网(Standalone，SA)模式比非独立组网(Non-Standalone，NSA)模式更快地完成信道估计，提高网络信道估计速度。

射频收发器100→第一收发模块200的高频发射端口MHB TRX14G HB RFIN→N41发射通路(功率放大器PA、4P4T#1开关、滤波器)→多通道选择开关210→天线端口MHB ANTANT2→path2→第四开关单元620→path3→第一天线Ant1，实现SRS功能；由第四开关单元620→path4→接收模块300的发射端口MHB TRX1→接收模块300的SP7T开关310→接收模块300的天线端口MHB ANT→path7→第二天线Ant2，实现SRS功能；由第四开关单元620→path5→SPDT开关#1→path8→第三天线Ant3，实现SRS功能；由第四开关单元620→path6→SPDT开关#2→第四天线Ant4，实现SRS功能。

Channel1’ Path1->Path4->Path7 Path2->Path4->Path7
Channel2’ Path1->Path5->Path8 Path2->Path5->Path8
Channel3’ Path1->Path6->Path9 Path2->Path6->Path9
其中，表中的Channel0’、Channel1’、Channel2’、Channel3’可分别理解为SRS工作路径。
需要说明的是，若本申请实施例中的第一收发模块200为MHB L-PA Mid器件，该器件仅支持SA制式，则对应射频系统也仅支持SA制式下的SRS功能。若本申请实施例中的第一收发模块200可支持NSA制式和SA制式，则对应射频系统也可以支持NSA制式和SA制式下的SRS功能。
基于如图11和12所示的射频系统均可以支持N1、N3、N7和N41频段的4*4MIMO功能，同时还可以支持N1、N3、N7和N41频段SA制式下的SRS功能。同时，如图11所示的射频系统中，通过在第一MIMO接收模块400和第二MIMO接收模块500中配置了轮射端口SRS，可以简少开关模块600中的开关数量，例如，可以省略如图12中的第五开关单元630和第六开关单元640，如图11所示的射频系统的结构更为简单，同时也简 化了射频系统中的布线复杂度；占用面积小，有利于射频系统的小型化以及降低了成本。
如图13和图14所示，在其中一个实施例中，前述任一实施例中的射频系统中还可以包括：第二收发模块700、第一合路器800和第二合路器900。第一合路器800，分别与第二收发模块700、开关模块600、第二天线Ant2连接；第二合路器900，分别与接收模块300、第三天线Ant3连接。
其中，第二收发模块700，与第一收发模块200连接，用于支持多个低频频段的射频信号的收发。具体的，该第一收发模块200可用于支持对低频频段的4G信号的收发控制。示例性的，第一收发模块200可以为内置低噪放的低频功率放大器PA模块(Low Band Power Amplifier Modules including Duplexers With LNA，LB L-PA Mid)，可以将该LB L-PA Mid理解为以封装芯片，其集成了多频段的发射和接收通道，包含B8、B12、B20、B26，以及2G LB和2G HB GSM。此外，还有4个AUX端口用于外置频段的扩展。
本实例中的射频系统，除了能支持N1、N3、N7和N41频段的4*4MIMO功能，同时还可以支持N1、N3、N7和N41频段SA制式下的SRS功能，还可以通过第一收发模块200和第一天线Ant1实现对B8、B12、B20、B26，以及2G LB和2G HB GSM信号的收发控制，拓展了该射频系统的通信频段，以及提高了该射频系统的通信性能。
本申请实施例还提供一种通信设备，该通信设备上设置有上述任一实施例中的射频系统，均可以支持N1、N3、N7和N41频段的4*4MIMO功能，同时还可以支持N1、N3、N7和N41频段SA制式下的SRS功能。同时，该第一MIMO接收模块400和第二MIMO接收模块500均仅配置有四路接收通路，以用于支持对四个预设频段的5G信号的接收，使得每一路接收通路均得到了利用，提高了第一MIMO接收模块400和第二MIMO接收模块500的使用效率，降低了成本，同时还可以减少接收通路的链路损耗。
以上实施例仅表达了本申请的几种实施方式，其描述较为具体和详细，但并不能因此而理解为对本申请专利范围的限制。应当指出的是，对于本领域的普通技术人员来说，在不脱离本申请构思的前提下，还可以做出若干变形和改进，这些都属于本申请的保护范围。因此，本申请专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
