本申请涉及但不限于电子技术,尤指一种射频前端器件及电子设备。
背景技术
随着技术的发展和进步,5G移动通信技术逐渐开始应用于电子设备。随着通信网络制式的增加,电子设备必须支持2G、3G、4G、5G各种网络制式下的通信要求;受限于电子设备对于尺寸的制约,主板PCB的空间并没有因需求的增多而得到大幅的增加,这将导致主板PCB的空间布局布线非常紧张。
随着电子设备如手机ID和功能不断演进,比如双扬声器(speaker),大电池,多摄像头模组等功能都极大的压缩了手机PCB板可用空间,这样,对射频方案也就提出了更高的要求。

附图概述
附图用来提供对本申请技术方案的进一步理解,并且构成说明书的一部分,与本申请的实施例一起用于解释本申请的技术方案,并不构成对本申请技术方案的限制。
图1为本申请实施例中射频前端器件的第一实施例的组成结构示意图;

详述
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,下文中将结合附图对本申请的实施例进行详细说明。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
为了便于理解本申请,下面将参照相关附图对本申请进行更全面的描述。附图中给出了本申请的实施例。但是,本申请可以以许多不同的形式来实现,并不限于本文所描述的实施例。相反地,提供这些实施例的目的是使本申请的公开内容更加透彻全面。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本申请的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本申请的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本申请。
可以理解,本申请所使用的术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或隐含地包括至少一个该特征。在本申请的描述中,“多个”的含义是至少两个,例如两个、三个等,除非另有明确具体的限定。
可以理解,以下实施例中的“连接”,如果被连接的电路、模块、单元等相互之间具有电信号或数据的传递,则应理解为“电连接”、“通信连接”等。
在此使用时,单数形式的“一”、“一个”和“所述/该”也可以包括复数形式,除非上下文清楚指出另外的方式。还应当理解的是,术语“包括/包含”或“具有”等指定所陈述的特征、整体、步骤、操作、组件、部分或它们的组合的存在,但是不排除存在或添加一个或更多个其他特征、整体、步骤、操作、组件、部分或它们的组合的可能性。同时,在本说明书中使用的术语“和/或”包括相关所列项目的任何及所有组合。
通常,PCB板可用空间比较紧凑的电子设备如手机在射频方案上往往采用射频前端器件如射频L-PA Mid集成模组方案,其中,L-PA Mid器件可以理解为内置低噪声放大器的功率放大器模块(L-PA Mid Power Amplifier Modules including Duplexers With LNA),其相对于分立方案占用空间更小。对于支持非独立组网(NSA,Non-Standalone)的5G手机现有方案下,需要搭配一颗支持低频频段(LB)的L-PA Mid器件,一颗支持中高频频段(MHB)的L-PA Mid器件以及一颗至少支持中频频段(MB)或者高频频段(HB)的ENDC功率放大器(PA)。相关技术中虽然已经采用了L-PA Mid器件这类高集成器件,但是,由于器件数量较多,需要的面积还是不小。同时为了实现M+H、M+H而搭配的ENDC PA也会带来成本上的增加。其中,ENDC是EUTRA NR Dual-Connectivity的缩写,E表示E-UTRA,属于3GPP LTE的空中界面,是3GPP的第八版本;N表示N radio 5G;D表示LTE和5G双连接。ENDC可以理解为4G和5G双连接的相互兼容。
为了更好地节省对PCB板的占用面积,本申请实施例提供一种同时支持低中高频频段(LMH band)的射频前端器件。
