All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without inventive step, are within the scope of the present disclosure.

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present application and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements but may alternatively include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, system, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

The wireless communication device according to the embodiment of the present application may include an electronic device or a network device, and the electronic device may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, and various forms of User Equipment (UE) (e.g., a Mobile phone), a Mobile Station (MS), a terminal device (terminal device), and the like. For convenience of description, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as electronic devices. The network devices may include base stations, access points, and the like.

In the following embodiments, the wireless communication device is described by taking an electronic device as an example.

At present, the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) switching (switching)4 antenna transmission function of a Mobile phone is a necessary option of a China Mobile communication Group (China Mobile Communications Group co, Ltd, CMCC) in "white paper terminal of chinese Mobile 5G scale test technology", and is selectable in a third Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP), and the SRS is mainly used for a base station to perform beam forming of a downlink large-scale (Massive) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna array by measuring uplink signals of the Mobile phone 4 antenna so as to confirm 4-channel quality and parameters, and then perform downlink large-scale (Massive-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna array for the 4-channel according to channel reciprocity, so that the downlink 4x4MIMO obtains the best data transmission performance. Where 4x4MIMO means that the base station has 4 antennas to transmit data and the terminal device has 4 antennas to receive data.

In order to meet the requirement of switching transmission of a 4-antenna SRS and simultaneous operation of a downlink 4X4MIMO function in an FDD NR system and/or an FDD LTE system, the radio frequency architecture provided in the embodiment of the present application, which uses a simplified 4P6T antenna switch as a core, can reduce the number of switches connected in series in each path (by integrating all or part of the switches into a 4P6T switch) compared with a 3P 3T/DPDT/multi-path small-switch switching scheme, thereby reducing link loss and optimizing the overall transmission and reception performance of the terminal. The following describes embodiments of the present application in detail.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a multi-way selector switch disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, where the multi-way selector switch 10 is applied to an electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 includes an antenna system 20 and a radio frequency circuit 30, the electronic device 100 supports a dual-frequency dual transmission mode, the antenna system 20 includes 4 antennas, the multi-way selector switch 10 includes 6T ports and 4P ports, and the 6T ports include 2 first T ports and 4 second T ports; each first T port is fully connected with 4P ports, each second T port is connected with 3P ports in the 4P ports, the P ports connected with the plurality of second T ports supporting the signal receiving function of the same frequency band cover the 4P ports, and the P ports connected with each T port in the 4T ports in the signal receiving state are different;

the multi-way selector switch 10 is configured to connect the radio frequency circuit 30 and the antenna system 20 to implement a preset function of the electronic device 100 in the frequency division multiplexing FDD system, where the preset function includes a first function and a second function, the first function is to support alternate transmission and transmission of the SRS at 4 ports between the transmitting antennas through the SRS, and the second function is to support simultaneous data reception of 4 antennas.

The transmitting antenna refers to an antenna supporting a transmitting function among the 4 antennas. The 4 antennas in the embodiment of the present application can support the transmission function.

The electronic device may specifically be a 5G NR Mobile phone terminal or other 5G NR terminal devices, such as Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or a portable broadband wireless device (MIFI).

In the embodiment of the present application, the P Port is called a Port (polarization) Port in english, the P Port is called a Port connected to an antenna, the T Port is called a thru, and the T Port is called a Port connected to a radio frequency circuit in english. In the embodiment of the present application, there are 4P ports and 6T ports, and in order to facilitate an intuitive understanding of the structure of the multi-way switch 10, the multi-way switch 10 in the embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as a "4P 6T switch".

In the embodiment of the present application, the full connection is defined for the T port, which means that the T port is connected to all the P ports respectively. The first T port is a full connection port, and the first T port is connected to all the 4P ports.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the connection between the T port and the P port refers to that the T port and the P port can establish a connection path, but the connection path is not necessarily conductive. For example, the first T port is connected to all of the 4P ports, which means that the first T port can communicate with the 4P ports. Specifically, at the same time, the multi-way selector switch 10 can only selectively control the first T port to communicate with 1 of the 4P ports, and the first T port can receive and transmit signals with the communicating P ports; at this time, although the first T port is connected to the other 3P ports, no connection path is established, that is, no connection is made, and the first T port cannot transmit and receive signals to and from the other 3P ports.

The function of supporting alternate transmission of the SRS through the sounding reference signal between the transmitting antennas, and transmitting the SRS at 4 ports refers to a process in which the electronic device 100 interacts with the base station through a polling mechanism to determine the uplink channel quality corresponding to each of the 4 antennas. When the electronic device is in a downlink 4x4MIMO working mode, the T ports and the P ports in 4 downlink channels of the same frequency band are in one-to-one correspondence. In design principle, four T ports supporting the receiving function in the same frequency band must be connected to 4P ports, respectively, so as to ensure that the downlink four-path receiving function can be realized.

In the multi-path selection switch provided by the embodiment of the application, only 1 first T port in 6T ports is fully connected with the 4P ports, and each port in the second T port is only connected with 3 antennas for receiving, so that the number, volume and cost of field effect transistors built in the 4P6T switch can be reduced compared with a mode that each T port in the 4T ports is fully connected with the 4P ports, and synchronous operation of the SRS function and the downlink 4X4MIMO function in an FDD mode is expanded in function compared with a simplest state that each port in the second T port is only connected with a single P port, so that the applicability is improved.

Optionally, the 4 second T ports are T ports for receiving a first frequency band or a second frequency band, and the first frequency band and the second frequency band are not overlapped; the 4P ports are connected with the 4 antennas in a one-to-one correspondence manner; the 2 first T ports are T ports for first band reception and second band reception.

The first frequency band and the second frequency band are both 5G NR frequency bands. For convenience of explanation, a first frequency Band supported by the 5G NR electronic device is represented by an "NR Band Nx" or Nx frequency Band, and a second frequency Band supported by the 5G NR electronic device is represented by an "NR Band Ny" or Ny frequency Band. For example, the first frequency band ranges from 3.3GHz to 3.8GHz, and the second frequency band ranges from 4.4GHz to 5 GHz; or the first frequency band range is 4.4GHz-5GHz, and the second frequency band range is 3.3GHz-3.8 GHz.

In the embodiment of the present application, the 6T ports are divided into two types, the first type is a first T port, the number of the first T ports is 2, the first T port is a full-connection port, and the first T port is a port for transmission and reception of a first frequency Band (NR Band Nx) and a second frequency Band (NR Band Ny); the second type is a second T port, which is a port for NR Band Nx reception or NR Band Ny reception, and the number of the second T port is 4. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a 4P6T switch disclosed in the embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the 2 first T ports are respectively an "NR Band Nx + Ny TRX 1" port and an "NR Band Ny + Ny TRX 2" port; the 4 second T ports are respectively an "NR Band Nx RX 3" port, an "NR Band Ny RX 3" port, an "NR Band Nx RX 4" port, and an "NR Band Ny RX 4" port. The 4P ports are P1 port, P2 port, P3 port and P4 port, respectively. Wherein, the "NR Band Nx + Ny TRX 1" port is connected with the P1 port, the P2 port, the P3 port and the P4 port. The "NR Band Ny + Ny TRX 2" port is connected to all of the P1 port, the P2 port, the P3 port, and the P4 port. The "NR Band Nx RX 3" port and the "NR Band Nx RX 4" port are both ports for NR Band Nx reception, and the "NR Band Ny RX 3" port and the "NR Band Ny RX 4" port are both ports for NR Band Ny reception. The number of P ports to which the "NR Band Nx RX 3" port, the "NR Band Ny RX 3" port, the "NR Band Nx RX 4" port, and the "NR Band Ny RX 4" port are connected is 3, and the P ports to which the 4 second T ports are connected cover the 4P ports, the "NR Band Nx RX 3" port in fig. 2 is connected to the P1 port, the P2 port, and the P3 port, the "NR Band Ny RX 3" port is connected to the P2 port, the P3 port, and the P4 port, the "NR Band Nx RX 4" port is connected to the P1 port, the P3 port, and the P4 port, and the "NR Band Ny RX 4" port is connected to the P1 port, the P2 port, and the P4 port. It should be noted that the connection manner between the second T port and the P port in fig. 2 is only one possible example, and the condition that "the P port connected to the 4 second T ports covers 4P ports" is satisfied.

The P port to which the 4 second T ports are connected covers the 4P ports means that: all the P ports to which the 4 second T ports are connected include 4P ports of P1 port, P2 port, P3 port, P4 port.

The multi-way change-over switch 10 comprises 60 first switch tubes, 6 second switch tubes and 4 third switch tubes, the second switch tubes correspond to T ports, the third switch tubes correspond to P ports, every 3 first switch tubes are connected in series to form a switch subunit between the T ports and the P ports, 2 first switch tubes at two ends of the switch subunit are respectively connected with 1T port and 1P port, the first switch tube in the middle of the switch subunit is grounded, and gate poles of each first switch tube, each second switch tube and each third switch tube are connected with a switch control chip.

The first switch tube, the second switch tube and the third switch tube can be composed of field effect tubes.

In the multi-way selector switch 10 described in this embodiment of the present application, the connection between the T port and the P port refers to a state in which the T port is connected to the P port through a first switch tube, the first switch tube is used to control conduction between the T port and the P port (specifically, including unidirectional conduction from the T port to the P port and unidirectional conduction from the P port to the T port), the switch subunit may be, for example, a switch array composed of 3 first switch tubes (for example, MOS transistors) (when the switch subunit is turned off, if there is no ground, parasitic parameters (for example, parasitic capacitance, parasitic inductance, and the like) have too great influence on performance of other conducting ports, so that the switch subunit is set to be 3 MOS tubes, when the switch subunit is turned off, 2 MOS tubes on both sides are turned off, and the MOS tube in the middle is turned on. In addition to the first switch tube used between the T port and the P port, the multiplexer 10 further includes a second switch tube on the T port side and a third switch tube on the P port side, where the second switch tube and the third switch tube may also be referred to as ground switch tubes, one ground switch tube may be configured for each T port, one ground switch tube may be configured for each P port, and when the T port or the P port does not perform signal transmission or reception, the ground switch tubes configured for the T port or the P port are turned on, and when the T port or the P port performs signal reception or signal transmission, the ground switch tubes configured for the T port or the P port are turned off. The second switch tube is used to enable a corresponding port (T port or P port), for example, the second switch tube and the third switch tube may be 1 MOS tube, and the specific forms of the first switch tube, the second switch tube and the third switch tube are not limited herein. In a specific implementation, the electronic device 100 may control the conduction of the path between the T port and the P port through the first switch tube, and specifically, the electronic device 100 may be provided with a dedicated controller connected to the switch tube in the multi-way switch 10.

The electronic device 100 may connect the gate of each MOS transistor in the first, second, and third switching transistors through a port of the switch control chip, the switch control chip may employ an MIPI interface, and the electronic device 100 controls a signal of a driving port of the switch control chip to control a connection state between any T port and any P port.

Therefore, in this example, the switch subunit of the multi-way selector switch includes three second switch tubes, and the middle second switch tube is grounded, so that the influence of the parasitic parameters of the current switch tube on the performance of other conducting ports can be avoided in the open circuit state, and the switch control stability is improved.

Because only 2T ports of the 6T ports are fully connected with the 4P ports, and other T ports only need to be connected with 3P ports, the preset function in an FDD mode can be realized, compared with all T port fully connected switches, the number, volume and cost of field effect transistors built in the 4P6T switch can be reduced, and the performance is improved. This section is explained in detail below.

The multiplexer 10 is formed by a field effect transistor. For example, if each of the 6T ports is fully connected to 4P ports, the number of fets in the mux switch is 6+6 × 4 × 3+4 — 82 as the exemplary structure diagram of the mux switch shown in fig. 3A. In this embodiment, only 2T ports of the 6T ports are all connected to 4P ports, and the other 4T ports are respectively connected to 3P ports of the 4P ports, so as to obtain an exemplary structure diagram of the multi-way selector switch shown in fig. 3B, where the number of field-effect transistors of the multi-way selector switch is 6+ (3 × 4+ (6-2) × 3+4 ═ 70. Obviously, by adopting the embodiment of the application, the number, the volume and the cost of the field effect transistors built in the 4P6T switch can be reduced, and the performance is improved.

Because the first receiving and transmitting signal processing circuit 321 and the second receiving and transmitting signal processing circuit 322 have the same circuit structure, the first receiving and transmitting signal processing circuit 321 and the third receiving signal processing circuit 333 have the same circuit structure, the second receiving signal processing circuit 332 and the fourth receiving signal processing circuit 334 have the same circuit structure, the reusability of the independent circuit module can be improved, the batch production of the independent circuit module is facilitated, the adaptation flexibility is improved, and the cost is reduced.

In one possible example, the 4 antennas include a first antenna, a second antenna, a third antenna, and a fourth antenna, and the first antenna, the second antenna, the third antenna, and the fourth antenna are all antennas supporting a 5G NR frequency band.

The 5G NR frequency band may include, for example, 3.3GHz-3.8GHz, and 4.4GHz-5 GHz.

In one possible example, the 4 antennas include a first antenna, a second antenna, a third antenna, and a fourth antenna, the first antenna and the fourth antenna are antennas supporting an LTE band and a 5G NR band, and the second antenna and the third antenna are antennas supporting only a 5G NR band.

Wherein, the first and the fourth antennas are used for supporting DL 4x4MIMO of individual frequency bands on the LTE terminal. Its 2 receiving antennas are shared with the 5G NR antennas. The LTE frequency bands may include, for example, 1880-1920MHz, 2496-2690 MHz.

In one possible example, as shown in fig. 12, the antenna system further includes a first combiner and a second combiner, where a first port of the first combiner is used to connect the first antenna, a second port of the first combiner is used to connect a first receiving path in LTE4x4MIMO of the electronic device, and a third port of the first combiner is used to connect a corresponding P port in the multi-way selector switch; a first port of the second combiner is used for connecting the fourth antenna, a second port of the second combiner is used for connecting a second receiving channel in LTE4x4MIMO of the electronic device, and a third port of the second combiner is used for connecting a corresponding P port in the multi-path selector switch.

The LTE4 × 4MIMO is a downlink LTE receiving circuit, and may be defined as a third receiving path. Since LTE currently has 2 receptions. When LTE4x4MIMO is supported, third and fourth receive channels may be added.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic flow chart of a function control method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes an antenna system, a radio frequency circuit, and a multi-way selection switch, the multi-way selection switch includes 6T ports and 4P ports, the 6T ports include 2 first T ports and 4 second T ports, the electronic device supports a dual-frequency dual transmission mode, each first T port is fully connected to 4P ports, each second T port is connected to 3P ports of the 4P ports, the P ports connected to a plurality of second T ports supporting a signal receiving function of a same frequency band cover the 4P ports, and the P ports connected to each T port of the 4T ports in a signal receiving state are different from each other; the method comprises the following steps.

1401, the electronic device determines to perform a preset function, where the preset function includes a first function and a second function, the first function is a function of supporting alternate transmission of sounding reference signals SRS between transmitting antennas in a single transmission mode and transmitting 4-port SRS, and the second function is a function of supporting 4 antennas to receive data simultaneously.

1402, in the process of starting the first function, the electronic device adjusts the matching state between 3T ports and 4P ports currently occupied by the single frequency band where the second function is located according to the P port currently occupied by the single frequency band where the first function is located.

Specifically, the 3T ports may be 4 second T ports except for the first T port among the 4T ports.

The dual-frequency dual-transmission mode means that the electronic equipment can support transmission and reception of two frequency bands, but only can allow two-way transmission and 4-way reception of one frequency band in the same time period.

Specifically, the implementation method of the step 1402 may specifically be:

when the first function is realized, determining 1P port occupied by 1 first T port supporting the first function, and determining 3P ports occupied by 4 second T ports supporting the second function; if the 3P ports include the 1P port, a second T port occupying the 1P port is switched to another P port.

The electronic equipment executes the first and second functions and can meet the function requirements in a 5G NR FDD system.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the electronic device can realize the preset function in the 5G NR FDD system through the radio frequency system constructed based on the multi-way selection switch, and the multi-way selection switch is simplified in structure and high in control efficiency, so that the real-time performance and the efficiency of the electronic device for completing the preset function are improved.

The following describes in detail the switching process between the T port and the P port in the embodiment of the present application, taking the multiway switch shown in fig. 2 as an example. Since the 5G NR protocol currently defines that 4P ports can only operate in the same frequency band in the same time period, although the electronic device of the present application supports a dual-frequency dual transmission mode, an SRS process in the same time period only detects one frequency band, it is assumed herein that an Nx frequency band is detected, and it is assumed that 4T ports (a T1 port, a T3 port, a T4 port, and a T5 port) of the Nx frequency band in an initial state of the multi-way switch are sequentially connected to the 4P ports, that is, a first T port T1 of the 4T ports is connected to P1, a second T port T2 is connected to P2, a third T port T3 is connected to P3, and a fifth T port T5 is connected to P4, because the dual-frequency dual transmission mode is supported, two antennas can transmit in one detection period, so that 4 antennas need to be polled and a detection period needs to be 2; 4P ports are respectively connected with 4 antennas. When the electronic device determines that the SRS is enabled, since the electronic device supports the dual-frequency dual transmission mode, only one antenna transmits in one sounding period.

For example, in the first probing period, the electronic device may transmit and receive signals through the T1 and P1 paths (which are turned on in advance to be used as the transceiving paths) to perform the Nx band signal reception and the first antenna channel quality detection in the first probing period, and may also transmit and receive signals through the T2 and P2 paths (which are turned on in advance to be used as the transceiving paths) to perform the Nx band signal reception and the second antenna channel quality detection in the first probing period, since the P ports corresponding to T3 and T5 are not occupied by T1 and T2, the multi-way switch does not need to be switched in the first probing period.

In the second probing period, the electronic device may control T1 to switch from the initial state connection P1 to the connection P3 in the second probing period, so that T1 and P3 conduct transceiving Nx band signals for signal reception and channel quality probing of the third antenna, and may control T2 to switch from the initial state connection P2 to the connection P4 in the second probing period, so that T2 and P4 conduct transceiving Nx band signals for signal reception and channel quality probing of the fourth antenna, and since P3 corresponding to T3 is occupied by T1, in order to maintain the signal receiving function of T3, after the first probing period ends and before the second probing period starts, the multiplexer switches T3 to connect to P2, and switches T5 to P1.

To this end, the electronic device completes the SRS detection process, and T1 is connected to P3 for signal reception, T2 is connected to P4 for signal reception, T3 is connected to P2 for signal reception, and T5 is connected to P1 for signal reception.

The channel quality detection for the Ny frequency band is similar to the channel quality detection for the Nx frequency band, and is not described herein again.

Referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, where the electronic device 100 includes an antenna system 20, a radio frequency circuit 30, and the multi-way selector switch 10 according to any of the embodiments;

the multi-way selector switch 10 is configured to connect the radio frequency circuit 30 and the antenna system 20 to implement a preset function of the electronic device 100, where the preset function includes a first function and a second function, the first function is to support alternate transmission of the SRS between the transmitting antennas through the sounding reference signal SRS and to transmit the 4-port SRS, and the second function is to support simultaneous data reception of the 4 antennas.

In addition, as shown in fig. 17, 4 antennas in the antenna system described in the embodiment of the present application may also be multiplexed by a wireless charging receiver of the electronic device, specifically, the wireless charging receiver comprises a receiving antenna and a receiving control circuit, wherein the receiving antenna is matched with a transmitting antenna of a wireless charging transmitter (under the condition of same or similar frequency, the receiving antenna resonates, energy is transmitted in a wireless transmission mode in a radiation resonant magnetic coupling mode), the receiving control circuit converts the energy into direct current DC through a loop array antenna and outputs the direct current DC to a battery for charging, the receiving control circuit can dynamically adjust the frequency of the loop array antenna, and matching the frequency with the transmitting antenna of the wireless charging transmitter to realize the pairing charging, or, the wireless charging transmitter is interacted with the frequency variation range in real time to realize an exclusive encryption wireless charging mode.

The receiving antenna may be an antenna composed of at least 1 antenna of 4 antennas (in many cases, the antennas are gated by a switch).

For example: as shown in fig. 18, the receiving antenna is a loop array antenna formed by the above-mentioned 4 antennas, the 4 antennas specifically include an antenna 1, an antenna 2, an antenna 3, and an antenna 4, where the antenna 1 and the antenna 4 support LTE and 5G NR frequency bands, the antenna 2 and the antenna 3 support only 5G NR frequency band, a port of the antenna 1 and a port of the antenna 4 are used as ports of the loop array antenna, where adjacent antennas are connected by a gating circuit 170 having an isolation function, the gating circuit 170 includes a spacer 171 and a switch 172, the spacer 171 is a conductor, the switch 172 is further connected to a controller, and the electronic device can communicate with the switch 172 of each gating circuit 170 in a wireless charging mode to form a loop array antenna to receive energy. By adding the spacer 171 between the antennas, the gating circuit 170 reduces mutual coupling between multiple antennas of the electronic device in a normal communication mode, improves isolation between the multiple antennas, optimizes antenna performance, and can connect the multiple antennas in series to form a loop array antenna through the switch 171, so that the transmitting antenna can be better matched to transmit energy, and in addition, because the capabilities of the antenna 1 and the antenna 4 are stronger than those of the antenna 2 and the antenna 3, the loop array antenna can reduce energy transmission loss as much as possible.

The foregoing is an implementation of the embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the embodiments of the present application, and these modifications and decorations are also regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
