  • the RF circuit shown in FIG2 can realize ENDC of B20+N28L or ENDC of B28L+N20, it needs to introduce a new low-frequency antenna (antenna h), which will further squeeze the already tight space inside the terminal device.

It is impossible to realize ENDC between other low-frequency bands using the similar principle of the RF circuit shown in FIG2, which is explained in detail below.
  • the reason why the B28LRX+B20RX filter can be used is that the frequency difference between B28LRX (758MHz-788MH) and B20RX (791MHz-821MHz) is small, and the bandwidth of 63MHz (758MHz-821MHz) is also narrow, so the filter is easier to implement.
  • B20RX+B8RX filter For example, if you want to use the principle similar to the RF circuit shown in Figure 2 to implement B8+N20 ENDC or B20+N8 ENDC, you need a B20RX+B8RX filter. However, the frequency difference between B20RX (791MHz-821MHz) and B8RX (925MHz-960MHz) is 104MHz, and the bandwidth is 169MHz, which is beyond the feasibility of the SAW filter. In other words, it is difficult to implement a filter of this specification. Therefore, it is impossible to use the principle similar to the RF circuit shown in Figure 2 to implement B8+N20 ENDC or B20+N8 ENDC through a B20RX+B8RX filter.
  • the RF circuit also cannot include a duplexer including a B8RX filter and a B8TX filter and a duplexer x that is turned on and off. This is because the difference between B8TX and B20TX is 18MHz, and turning on and off the switches will affect the in-band performance of the B8TX filter and the B20TX filter.

具体实施方式
本申请实施例中的“第一”、“第二”和“第三”等是用于区别不同对象,而不是用于限定特定顺序。此外,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
为便于理解本申请实施例,下面对一些概念或术语进行解释。
TX:全称为Transmit,是指射频信号的上行频段。在本申请实施例中,将频段z的TX称作zTX。其中,频段z为任一频段。例如,B28的TX可以称作B28TX。
RX:全称为Receive,是指射频信号的下行频段。在本申请实施例中,将频段z的RX称作zRX。例如,B28的RX可以称作B28RX。
在本申请实施例中,可以将射频信号的上行频段的信号称作该射频信号的上行信号,将射频信号的下行频段的信号称作该射频信号的下行信号。例如,B28TX可以称作B28的上行信号,B28RX可以称作B28的下行信号。
B28L:B28频段由于频率覆盖范围较宽,一般会划分为L和H两个频段,其中频率较低的频段即称作B28L。B28LTX,即B28L的上行频段为703MHz-733MHz。B28LRX为758MHz-788MH。
B28H:B28频段由于频率覆盖范围较宽,一般会划分为L和H两个频段,其中频率较高的频段即称作B28H。B28HTX为718MHz-748MHz。B28HRX为773MHz-803MHz。
ENDC:全称E-UTRAN New Radio-Dual Connectivity,是指4G和5G双连接。其中4G频段用字母B开头,5G频段用字母N开头。例如,B20+N28的ENDC是指4G频段的B20和5G频段的N28同时连接,同时工作。
需要说明的是,4G频段和5G频段的字母之后的数字相同时,所覆盖的频率范围也是相同的。例如,B28和N28所覆盖的频率范围相同。因此,射频模组能够实现B20+N28的ENDC,等同于能实现B28+N20的ENDC,后续不再赘述。
滤波器:滤波器可以使信号中特定的频率成分通过,而极大地衰减其它频率成分。除了由电容,电感组成的滤波电路外,还有声学滤波器。这里的声学滤波器可能是声表面波(Surface Acoustic Wave,SAW)和体声波(Bulk Acoustic Wave,BAW)。相比于电容和电感组成的滤波器,声学滤波器Q值高,选择性更好,一般用于FDD(Frequency Division Duplexing,频分双工)频段的TX+RX双工器以及TDD(Time Division Duplex,频分双工)频段的滤波器。需要说明的是,滤波器的通带和阻带之间通常具有过渡带。因此,未经精心设计的两个通带靠近的滤波器不能同时连通到天线开关进行双开,否则会对带内性能造成较大的影响。例如,某一滤波器的通带为B20TX,即832MHz-862MHz。另一个滤波器的通带为B8TX,即880MHz-915MHz。两个滤波器的通带相差18MHz,因此不能同时连通到天线开关进行双开,否则会对滤波器在通带内的性能有较大的影响。
双工器:可以看成两个收发滤波器合并组成,共用一个公共节点(天线),用于同时接收和发射射频信号。双工器的设计能够确保每个滤波器的通带不会加载另一个滤波器。另外,接收滤波器输出中的发射信号会被显著衰减。也就是说,精心设计的双工器具有较高的收发隔离度。因此,组成双工器的两个滤波器的通带可以较为接近。例如,双工器中的一个滤波器的通带可以为B28TX,即703MHz-748MHz;另一个滤波器的通带可以为B28RX,即758MHz-803MHz。两个滤波器的通带相差10MHz,但双工器中可以保证这两个滤波器同时工作也不会相互影响。
低频:低频是指960MHz以下的频率。常用的低频频段有B28,B20,B26,B5,B8等。请参考图1,为一种低频频段的示意图。如图1所示,B28TX为703MHz-748MHz;B28RX为758MHz-803MHz;B20RX为791MHz-821MHz;B20TX为832MHz-862MHz;B26TX为814MHz-849MHz;B26RX为859MHz-894MHz;B5TX为824MHz-849MHz;B5RX为869MHz-894MHz;B8TX为880MHz-915MHz;B8RX为925MHz-960MHz。
基于以上对概念或术语的解释,下面对本申请实施例的应用背景进行介绍。
随着人们对终端设备小型化和轻型化的追求,终端设备内的空间排布也越来越紧凑。低频天线由于尺寸较大,终端设备中通常只会设置2个。增加到3个低频天线就会折中性能,牺牲其它空间;再增加到4个低频天线会进一步增加空间设计的难度。
示例性地,下面介绍一种射频电路,该射频电路通过3个低频天线收发信号,可以实现B20+N28L的ENDC或B28L+N20的ENDC。
请参考图2,为一种射频电路的示意图。如图2所示,该射频电路包括双工器x,双工器y,滤波器e,开关i。双工器x中包括滤波器a和滤波器b。双工器y中包括滤波器c和滤波器d。双工器x和双工器y分别与开关i连接。开关i还与天线f以及天线g连接。滤波器e与天线h连接。
滤波器a还与B20的主集接收端口连接。滤波器b还与B20的发送端口连接。滤波器c还与B28L的主集接收端口连接。滤波器d还与B28L的发送端口连接。滤波器e还与B28L+B20的分集接收端口连接。其中,B20的主集接收端口用于进行B20RX信号的主集接收。B20的发送端口用于发送B20TX信号。B28L的主集接收端口用于进行B28LRX信号的主集接收。B28L的发送端口用于发送B28LTX信号。B28L+B20的分集接收端口用于进行B28LRX信号以及B20RX信号的分集接收。
滤波器a的通带为B20RX。滤波器b的通带为B20TX。滤波器c的通带为B28LRX。滤波器d的通带为B28LTX。滤波器e的通带为B28LRX和B20RX,因此,滤波器e为一宽带滤波器。
该射频电路工作时,开关i将双工器x连接至天线f,将双工器y连接至天线g。B20RX信号的主集接收路径为:天线f,开关i,滤波器a,B20的主集接收端口。B20RX信号的分集接收路径为:天线h,滤波器e,B28L+B20的分集接收端口。B20TX信号的发射路径为:B20的发送端口,滤波器b,开关i,天线f。B28LRX信号的主集接收路径为:天线g,开关i,滤波器c,B28L的主集接收端口。B28LRX信号的分集接收路径为:天线h,滤波器e,B28L+B20的分集接收端口。B28LTX信号的发射路径为:B28L的发送端口,滤波器d,开关i,天线g。
需要说明的是,此处双工器与天线的连接关系只是示例性说明。在一些实施例中,开关i也可以工作于交叉状态,即双工器x连接天线g,双工器y连接天线f。后续对此不再做赘述。
可以看出,图2所示的射频电路中,双工器x和双工器y双开,实现B20的发射与主集接收,B28L的发射与主集接收。需要说明的是,这里的双开,是指两路同时工作,但接不同的天线,即天线f和天线g。另外,利用B20RX与B28RX有交叠的特点,采用通带为B28LRX以及B20RX的宽带滤波器e以及天线h进行B20和B28L的分集接收,从而实现了B20+N28L的ENDC或B28L+N20的ENDC。
然而,图2所示的射频电路虽然能够实现B20+N28L的ENDC或B28L+N20的ENDC,但需要引入新的低频天线(天线h),这会进一步挤压终端设备内部本就紧张的空间。并且,图2所示的射频电路只支持B20+N28L的ENDC或B28L+N20的ENDC,不能支持其它低频频段之间的ENDC,功能较为单一。无法利用图2所示的射频电路类似的原理实现其它低频频段之间的ENDC,下面具体说明。
图2所示的射频电路中,之所以能够使用B28LRX+B20RX的滤波器,是因为B28LRX(758MHz-788MH)与B20RX(791MHz-821MHz)的频率相差小,带宽为63MHz(758MHz-821MHz)也较窄,因此该滤波器较为容易实现。
但对于两个频率相差比较大,带宽比较宽的低频频段来说,由于SAW(Surface Acoustic Wave,声表面波滤波器)的可行性范围有限,因此难以实现满足需求的滤波器。
例如,若要利用图2所示的射频电路类似的原理实现B8+N20的ENDC或者B20+N8的ENDC,就需要B20RX+B8RX的滤波器。但B20RX(791MHz-821MHz)与B8RX(925MHz-960MHz)频率相差104MHz,带宽169MHz,超出SAW滤波器的可行性范围。也就是说,难以实现该规格的滤波器。因此,无法利用图2所示的射频电路类似的原理,通过B20RX+B8RX的滤波器实现B8+N20的ENDC或者B20+N8的ENDC。
该射频电路也无法加入包括B8RX滤波器和B8TX滤波器的双工器与双工器x双开。这是因为B8TX和B20TX相差18MHz,通过开关双开会影响B8TX滤波器和B20TX滤波器的带内性能。
为了减小射频电路的占用空间,节约终端设备内部的空间资源,相关技术中还提供了一种射频电路。该射频电路可以通过两个低频天线实现B20+N28L的ENDC或B28L+N20的ENDC。
请参考图3,为又一种射频电路的示意图。如图3所示,该射频电路包括三工器w,滤波器m,开关n。其中三工器w包括滤波器j,滤波器k以及滤波器l。三工器w与开关n连接。滤波器j与B20的发送端口连接。滤波器k与B28L的发送端口连接。滤波器l与B20+B28L的主集接收端口连接。滤波器m的一端与B20+B28L的分集接收端口连接,另一端与开关n连 接。开关n还与天线p和天线q连接。
其中,B20的发送端口用于发送B20TX信号。B28L的发送端口用于发送B28LTX信号。B28L+B20的主集接收端口用于进行B28LRX信号以及B20RX信号的主集接收。B28L+B20的分集接收端口用于进行B28LRX信号以及B20RX信号的分集接收。
滤波器j的通带为B20TX。滤波器k的通带为B28LTX。滤波器l和滤波器m的通带为B28LRX以及B20RX。
图3所示的射频电路工作时,开关n将三工器w连接至天线p,将滤波器m连接至天线q。B20TX信号的发射路径为:B20的发送端口,滤波器j,开关n,天线p。B20RX信号的主集接收路径为:天线p,开关n,滤波器l,B28L+B20的主集接收端口。B28LTX信号的发射路径为:B28L的发送端口,滤波器k,开关n,天线p。B28LRX的接收路径为:天线p,开关n,滤波器l,B28L+B20的主集接收端口。B20RX的分集接收路径以及B28LRX的分集接收路径均为:天线q,开关n,滤波器m,B28L+B20的分集接收端口。
应当理解,三工器w,滤波器m,天线q,天线p之间的连接关系也可以是,开关n将三工器w连接至天线q,将滤波器m连接至天线p。
可以看出,图3所示的射频电路中通过三工器w实现B20的发射与主集接收,B28L的发射和主集接收,且B20的发射与主集接收,B28L的发射和主集接收均由天线p完成。天线q配合另一个B20+B28L的RX滤波器(滤波器m)实现B20和B28L的分集接收。如此,即实现了B20+N28L的ENDC或B28L+N20的ENDC。
图3所示的射频电路能够通过终端设备中已有的两根低频天线实现B20+N28L的ENDC或B28L+N20的ENDC,无需引入额外的低频天线。
但是,与上述图2所示的滤波器相同的原因,由于难以实现B20RX+B8RX规格的滤波器,因此无法通过将B20RX+B28LRX的滤波器替换为B20RX+B8RX的滤波器,从而实现B20+N8的ENDC或B8+N20的ENDC。
该射频电路也无法加入包括B8RX滤波器和B8TX滤波器的双工器与三工器w双开。这是因为B8TX和B20TX相差18MHz,通过开关双开会影响B8TX滤波器和B20TX滤波器的带内性能。
也就是说,相关技术中的射频电路,在使用两根低频天线的前提下,只能实现B20+N28L或B28L+N20的ENDC,无法实现B8+N20或B20+N8等其它低频频段的ENDC。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种射频电路,射频模组及电子设备,能够通过两根低频天线实现至少两种低频组合的ENDC,具有较高的实用性。

下面对本申请实施例提供的射频电路进行说明。
本申请实施例提供的射频电路,用于通过第一天线和第二天线实现至少两种低频组合的ENDC。其中,第一天线和第二天线均为低频天线。
应当理解,天线的工作频率由其尺寸决定。高频天线的尺寸较小,低频天线的尺寸较大。对于终端设备来说,其内部空间有限,一般最多只允许设置两个低频天线。本申请实施例即在这一限定下,提供了一种射频电路和射频模组,能够通过两个低频天线实现至少两种低频组合的ENDC。
示例性地,本申请实施例提供的射频电路可以通过第一天线和第二天线实现第一信号和第二信号的ENDC,以及第二信号与第三信号的ENDC。其中,第一信号,第二信号,第三信号均为低频信号,即频率均小于960MHz。
在本申请实施例中,第一信号,第二信号,第三信号之间需要满足一定的关系,下面通过图5来说明。
请参考图5,为本申请实施例提供的一种第一信号,第二信号,第三信号之间的关系示意图。如图5所示,第二信号中仅下行频段与第三信号有交叠,且交叠于第三信号的下行频段。第一信号与第二信号,第三信号均无交叠。第一信号的上行频段与第二信号的上行频段之间的距离小于第一信号的上行频段与第三信号的上行频段之间的距离。
在一些实施例中,第一信号可以如图5所示,大于第二信号和第三信号。在另一些实施例中,第一信号也可以小于第二信号和第三信号。
作为一种示例,第一信号可以为B8频段的信号,第二信号可以为B20频段的信号,第三信号均可以为B28频段的信号。也就是说,本申请实施例提供的射频电路可以通过第一天线和第二天线两个低频天线实现B8+N20(或B20+N8)的ENDC,以及B20+N28(或B28+N20)的ENDC。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例提供的射频电路理论上也可以通过第一天线和第二天线实现B8+N28(或B28+N8)的ENDC。但在实际应用中,B8+N28的带宽为257MHz,这一带宽对天线的带宽要求非常高,难以实现。因此,本申请实施例提供的射频电路主要用于通过第一天线和第二天线实现B8+N20(或B20+N8)的ENDC以及B20+N28(或B28+N20)的ENDC。在第一天线和第二天线满足要求的情况下,也可以实现B8+N28(或B28+N8)的ENDC。
应当理解,此处只是示例性说明,第一信号,第二信号,第三信号也可以为其它频段的信号,只需满足上述关系即可,本申请对此不做具体限定。
基于以上对第一信号,第二信号,第三信号,第一天线以及第二天线的介绍,对本申请实施例提供的射频电路的结构以及工作原理进行具体说明。
请参考图6,为本申请实施例提供的一种射频电路的示意图。如图6所示,该射频电路包括:第一收发链路601,第二收发链路602,第三收发链路603以及第四接收链路604。第一收发链路601和第二收发链路602均与第一天线连接。第三收发链路603和第四接收链路604均与第二天线连接。
在本申请实施例中,收发链路是指接收链路和发送链路。
第一收发链路601用于通过第一天线进行第一信号的发射以及第一信号的主集接收。也就是说,第一收发链路601的发送链路用于通过第一天线进行第一信号的发射,第一收发链路601的接收链路用于通过第一天线进行第一信号的主集接收。
第二收发链路602用于通过第一天线进行第三信号的发射,第三信号的主集接收以及第二信号的分集接收。也就是说,第二收发链路602的发送链路用于通过第一天线进行第三信号的发射,第二收发链路602的接收链路用于通过第一天线进行第三信号的主集接收以及第二信号的分集接收。
需要说明的是,在射频领域,信号的发射和主集接收必须在同一天线上完成。因此,第三信号通过第一天线发射,则必须通过第一天线进行主集接收。
第三收发链路603用于通过第二天线进行第二信号的发射,第二信号的主集接收以及第三信号的分集接收。也就是说,第三收发链路603的发送链路用于通过第二天线进行第二信号的发射,第三收发链路603的接收链路用于通过第二天线进行第二信号的主集接收以及第三信号的分集接收。
第四接收链路604用于通过第二天线进行第一信号的分集接收。
以上即为本申请实施例提供的射频电路的结构。可以看出,该射频电路包括三个收发链路以及一个接收链路。这三个收发链路和一个接收链路配合即可实现第一信号和第二信号的ENDC,以及第二信号和第三信号的ENDC,下面具体说明。
第一信号和第二信号进行ENDC时,第一收发链路通过第一天线进行第一信号的发射和第一信号的主集接收,第二收发链路通过第一天线进行第二信号的分集接收,第三收发链路通过第二天线进行第二信号的发射和第二信号的主集接收,第四接收链路通过第二天线进行第一信号的分集接收。
第二信号和第三信号进行ENDC时,第二收发链路通过第一天线进行第三信号的发射,第三信号的主集接收以及第二信号的分集接收,第三收发链路通过第二天线进行第二信号的发 射,第二信号的主集接收以及第三信号的分集接收。
另外,本申请实施例提供的射频电路,第一信号的上行信号和第二信号的上行信号频率较为接近时,可以避免两者同一天线发射相互干扰,有利于提高天线的发射效率。示例性地,第一信号,第二信号,第三信号的关系如图5所示。也就是说,第一信号对的上行频段和第二信号的上行频段比较接近。如此,第一信号的上行信号和第二信号的上行信号在同一天线进行发射可能会相互干扰,影响发射效率。因此,在本申请实施例中,第一信号和第二信号进行ENDC时,第一信号的上行信号由第一天线发射,第二天线的上行信号由第二天线发射,两者不会相互干扰,能够降低交调导致灵敏度退化风险,降低发射杂散风险。
以第一信号为B8频段的信号,第二信号为B20频段的信号为例。在B8+N20(或B20+N8)进行ENDC时,B8的上行信号与B20的上行信号由于非常接近,仅相差18MHz,通过同一天线发射可能会相互干扰。例如,B20和B8的三阶交调分量会影响B8的接收。因此在本申请实施例中,通过第一收发链路和第一天线发射B8TX信号,进行B8RX信号的主集接收;通过第二收发链路和第一天线进行B20RX信号的分集接收;通过第三收发链路和第二天线发射B20TX信号,进行B20RX信号的主集接收;通过第四接收链路进行B8RX信号的分集接收。如此即可避免B8TX信号与B20TX信号相互干扰,实现B8+N20(或B20+N8)的ENDC。
基于以上说明可以看出,本申请实施例提供的射频电路,能够通过两根低频天线,至少实现两种低频组合的ENDC,且能够有效避免低频信号的发射信号相互交调影响接收灵敏度问题,具有很高的实用性。下面对射频电路的具体实现进行介绍。
在本申请实施例中,收发链路可以包括双工器,接收链路可以包括滤波器。其中,对双工器和滤波器的解释可以参见前述概念或术语解释部分,此处不再赘述。

以上即为本申请实施例提供的射频电路的一种具体结构。下面基于上述对电路结构的介绍,对该电路的工作原理进行说明。
首先介绍第一信号和第二信号进行ENDC时,该电路的工作原理。
请参考图8,为本申请实施例提供的一种射频电路的工作示意图。如图8所示,在第一信号和第二信号进行ENDC时,第一开关702将第一双工器701连接至第一天线,将第二双工器705连接至第一天线。第二开关709将第三双工器708连接至第二天线,将第三滤波器713连接至第二天线。
第一信号的上行信号的发射路径为:第一端口703,第一滤波器711,第一开关702,第一天线。
第一信号的下行信号的主集接收路径为:第一天线,第一开关702,第二滤波器721,第二端口704。可以看出,第一信号的发射和主集接收均在同一天线完成。
第一信号的下行信号的分集接收路径为:第二天线,第二开关709,第三滤波器713,第三端口714。
第二信号的上行信号的发射路径为:第六端口710,第六滤波器718,第二开关709,第二天线。也就是说,第一信号的发射和第二信号的发射在不同的天线完成,不会互相干扰,能够降低交调和杂散风险。
第二信号的下行信号的主集接收路径为:第二天线,第二开关709,第七滤波器728,第七端口712。可以看出,第二信号的发射路径和主集接收路径均在同一天线完成。
第二信号的下行信号的分集接收路径为:第一天线,第一开关702,第五滤波器725,第五端口707。
在第一开关702,第一双工器701和第二双工器705可以双开,同时工作。在第二开关709,第三双工器708与第三滤波器713可以双开,同时工作。
如此,即实现了第一信号和第二信号的ENDC。
以第一信号为B8频段的信号,第二信号为N20频段的信号为例再次进行说明,第一信号为N8频段的信号,第二信号为B20频段的信号时同理,此处不做赘述。
在第一信号为B8频段的信号,第二信号为N20频段的信号时,第一天线和第二天线的带宽应当覆盖B8和N20频段。
第一端口703用于输出B8TX信号,第一滤波器711的通带为B8TX。第二端口704用于进行B8RX信号的主集接收,第二滤波器721的通带为B8RX。第五端口707用于进行N20RX信号的分集接收和第三信号的下行信号的主集接收,第五滤波器725的通带为N20RX和第三信号的下行频段。第六端口710用于输出N20TX信号,第六滤波器718的通带为N20TX。第七端口712用于进行N20RX的主集接收以及第三信号的下行信号的分集接收,第七滤波器728的通带为N20RX和第三信号的下行频段。第三端口714用于进行B8RX信号的分集接收,第三滤波器713的通带为B8RX。
前述图2和图3所示的射频电路之所以不支持B8+N20的ENDC,一个重要的原因就是B8TX 的滤波器与N20TX的滤波器双开会影响滤波器的带内性能,影响射频电路的正常工作。本申请实施例提供的射频模组中,将B8TX的收发链路和N20TX信号的收发链路通过不同的开关连接至不同的天线,即通过不同的开关实现B8TX信号的发射和N20TX信号的发射,除了前述的避免TX信号干扰导致的交调和杂散风险,同时,双开情况下,可以忽略N20TX性能优化,重点优化B8TX,B8RX和N20+第三信号下行的RX频段,即忽略第四滤波器715的性能,重点优化第一滤波器711,第二滤波器721,第五滤波器725的性能。避免了B8TX滤波器和N20TX滤波器的双开,有利于提高信号的发射效率。

第二信号的下行信号的主集接收路径为:第二天线,第二开关709,第七滤波器728,第七端口712。可以看出,第二信号的发射路径和主集接收路径均在同一天线完成。
第二信号的下行信号的分集接收路径为:第一天线,第一开关702,第五滤波器725,第五端口707。
第三信号的上行信号的发射路径为:第四端口706,第四滤波器715,第一开关702,第一天线。
第三信号的下行信号的主集接收路径为:第一天线,第一开关702,第五滤波器725,第五端口707。可以看出,第三信号的发射和主集接收均在同一天线完成。
第三信号的下行信号的分集接收路径为:第二天线,第二开关709,第七滤波器728,第七端口712。
如此,即实现了第二信号和第三信号的ENDC。

如此,即实现了第一信号和第三信号的ENDC。

以上即为本申请实施例提供的射频电路通过两根低频天线实现至少两种低频组合ENDC的工作原理。在实际应用中,低频还包括B5,B26等频段,在满足一定条件的前提下,这些低频信号的收发链路也可以设置于本申请实施例提供的射频电路中,下面进行介绍。

另外,在一些可能的设计中,第一开关,第二开关,第一天线,第二天线之间的连接关系可以是可调的。请参考图14,为本申请实施例提供的又一种射频电路的示意图。如图14所示,该射频电路在图12所示的射频电路的基础上,还包括第四开关1401。第一开关702,第二开关709均通过该第四开关1401与第一天线和第二天线连接。
