目前,具有更高传输效率的5G被广泛应用,5G组网模式包括独立组网(standalone,SA)模式和非独立组网(non-standalone,NSA)两种模式。其中,NSA模式引入了双连接(dual connection,DC)技术,以支持电子设备100可以与4G基站和5G基站同时进行通信。根据4G基站和5G基站这两个基站所承担的角色的不同,NSA模式下的DC架构可以分为ENDC、NR-EUTRA双连接(NR-EUTRA Dual-Connection,NEDC)、NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR双连接(NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR Dual-Connectivity,NGEN-DC)三种架构。其中,NEDC是指以5G作为核心网,5G基站为主,4G基站为辅的一种双连接技术。NGEN-DC是指以5G作为核心网,4G基站为主,5G基站为辅的一种双连接技术。示例性地,在本申请提供的一种实施例中,可以采用一个4G信号和一个5G信号构成ENDC场景的两个不同频段的射频信号。
图3为一种本申请实施例提供的射频前端模块的结构示意图。
在本申请提供的一种实施例中,以电子设备100支持NSA模式下LB1+LB2的ENDC架构为例。如图3所示,射频收发芯片21和射频前端模块22之间传输的信号可以包括:LB1发射信号,LB1接收信号,LB2发射信号,LB2接收信号。其中,LB1发射信号是指频率处于LB对应频段的一种发射信号,LB1接收信号是指频率处于LB对应频段的一种接收信号;LB2发射信号是指频率处于LB对应频段的另一种发射信号,LB1接收信号是指频率处于LB对应频段的另一种接收信号。其中,LB1信号和LB2信号处于不同的低频频段。例如,n28+B20的ENDC架构,或者B28+n20的ENDC架构等。射频收发芯片21与第一天线ANT1和第二 天线ANT2连接,以用于发射LB1发射信号和LB2发射信号,以及接收LB1接收信号和LB2接收信号等。
在本申请的一种实施例中,NSA模式下LB1+LB2的ENDC架构的射频前端模块一般包括主集模组和分集模组,通过主集模组内的天线切换开关和天线选择开关导通外部天线与第一频段隔离组件之间的通路,其中,第一频段隔离组件可以为用于隔离LB1信号的发射信号以及LB1信号和LB2信号的接收信号的第一双工器。因此,主集模组内的天线切换开关和天线选择开关均会造成LB1频段的射频信号的发射过程以及LB1频段和LB2频段的射频信号的接收过程的损耗较高。
同时,通过主集模组内的天线切换开关、主集模组与分集模组之间的导线以及分集模组内的天线选择开关导通外部天线与第二频段隔离组件之间的通路,其中,第二频段隔离组件可以为用于隔离LB2的发射信号以及LB1信号和LB2信号的接收信号的第二双工器。因此,主集模组内的天线切换开关、主集模组与分集模组的之间导线以及分集模组内的天线选择开关均会造成LB2频段的射频信号的发射过程以及LB1频段和LB2频段的射频信号的接收过程的损耗较高,从而影响LB1信号和LB2信号的网络传输效率。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种射频前端模块,仅通过天线切换开关控制导通外部天线与第一频段隔离组件之间通路,以使LB1信号的发射信号以及LB1信号和LB2信号的接收信号传输。这样,只经过天线切换开关会使LB1频段的射频信号的发射过程以及LB1频段和LB2频段的射频信号的接收过程的损耗较低。同样,仅通过该天线切换开关控制导通外部天线与第二频段隔离组件之间通路,以使LB2信号的发射信号以及LB1信号和LB2信号的接收信号传输。这样,只经过天线切换开关会使LB2频段的射频信号的发射过程以及LB1频段和LB2频段的射频信号的接收过程的损耗较低,从而有效提高LB1信号和LB2信号的网络传输效率。

图15为又一种本申请实施例提供的射频前端模块的信号走向图。
如图15中的第一天线ANT1与n28Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2232之间的虚线走向所示,示例性地,以n28信号+B20信号的ENDC场景为例,在本申请的一种实施方式中,当需要通过主集模组223将n28频段的发射信号外发至空间时,n28频段的发射信号通过 n28Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2232内的发射通道进入天线选择开关2231。天线选择开关2231选择导通n28Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2232与第一天线ANT1之间的通路,从而使n28频段的发射信号从第一天线ANT1辐射至空间。
示例性地,在本申请的另一种实施方式中,当需要通过主集模组223同时接收n28频段的接收信号与B20频段的接收信号时,从第一天线ANT1接收n28频段的接收信号与B20频段的接收信号。天线切换开关2231导通第一天线ANT1与n28Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2232之间的通路,以使n28频段的接收信号与B20频段的接收信号通过天线切换开关2231发送至n28Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2232,获得n28频段和N20频段两个频段的接收信号。
示例性地,在本申请的另一种实施方式中,当需要通过主集模组223将B20频段的发射信号外发至空间时,B20频段的发射信号通过B20Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2233内的发射通道进入天线选择开关2231。天线选择开关2231选择导通B20Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2233与第二天线ANT2之间的通路,从而使B20频段的发射信号从第二天线ANT2发射至空间。
示例性地,在本申请的另一种实施方式中,当需要通过主集模组223同时接收n28频段的接收信号与B20频段的接收信号时,从第二天线ANT2接收n28频段的接收信号与B20频段的接收信号。天线切换开关2231导通第二天线ANT2与B20Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2233之间的通路,以使n28频段的接收信号与B20频段的接收信号通过天线切换开关2231发送至B20Tx+B20/n28Rx双工器2233,获得n28频段和N20频段两个频段的接收信号。
