It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third" and "fourth", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used for distinguishing different objects, and are not used for describing a specific order. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, of the embodiments of the present application, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The scheme provided by the application can be used in a terminal with a short-range wireless communication function used in daily life of people, and in an application scenario when the position of a signal source transmitting a short-range wireless signal in a space needs to be determined, for convenience of understanding, first, some terms and application architectures related to the embodiments of the application are briefly introduced below.

Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation is one of the conversion schemes for converting analog signals into data values, and represents an information Keying Phase Shift scheme by using a combination of complex waves having a Phase offset. BPSK uses a reference sine wave and a phase-inverted wave, and allows one to be 0 and the other to be 1, thereby allowing simultaneous transmission of information of 2 values (1 bit).

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation is a digital modulation scheme. It is divided into absolute phase shift and relative phase shift. Since the absolute phase shift method has a phase ambiguity problem, the relative phase shift method DQPSK is mainly used in practice. The method is widely applied to wireless communication at present and becomes a very important modulation and demodulation mode in modern communication.

Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a carrier-free communication technology that uses non-sinusoidal narrow pulses on the nanosecond to picosecond scale to transmit data. By transmitting very low power signals over a wide frequency spectrum, UWB can achieve data transmission rates of hundreds of mbits/s to Gbit/s over a range of about 10 meters.

For example, the signal generating module may be a baseband module (baseband), and when signal transmission is required, the signal transmitting apparatus needs to generate a signal to be modulated through the baseband module.

The signal to be modulated comprises at least one target symbol, and the target symbol comprises a transmission time period and an idle time period. Please refer to fig. 4, which illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a target symbol according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, a target symbol 401 includes a transmission period 402 and an idle period 403, where data can be transmitted in the transmission period 402, and phase selection information for selecting a function signal to be input to a mixer by a subsequent carrier oscillator can be transmitted in the idle period 403.

For example, in the process of performing the mixing modulation, different phase selection information is set for each idle time period in the target symbol, before a transmission time period corresponding to the idle time period comes, the function signal input to the mixer module 304 by the oscillator module 303 is switched to the phase signal corresponding to the phase selection information, and when the transmission time period comes, the mixer module 304 adopts the phase signal corresponding to the phase selection information, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the mixing modulation.

Optionally, the signal to be modulated includes a plurality of target symbols, each target symbol is divided into two partitions, and each partition includes a transmission time period and an idle time period.

As shown in fig. 5, the signal transmission method includes the following steps.

Step 501, adding phase selection information in an idle time period in a signal to be modulated to generate the signal to be modulated.

The signal to be modulated comprises at least one target symbol, and the target symbol comprises a transmission time period and an idle time period.

Optionally, the signal transmitting device may generate a signal to be modulated through its own signal generating module, where a signal format of the signal to be modulated includes at least one target symbol, and the target symbol includes a transmission time period and an idle time period. For example, the signal generating module may be a baseband module (baseband), and when signal transmission is required, the signal transmitting apparatus needs to generate a signal to be modulated through the baseband module. The structure of the signal to be modulated can refer to the description in fig. 4, and is not described herein again.

Step 502, according to the phase selection information in the idle period, determining the phase signal input from the oscillator module to the mixer module in the signal transmitting apparatus.

The phase selection information carried in the idle period may be bit information added in the process of generating the signal to be modulated. In this application, the signal transmitting apparatus may determine the phase signal input from the carrier oscillator to the mixer based on the added bit information. That is, after the signal transmitting apparatus generates the signal to be modulated, the signal transmitting apparatus may determine, according to the phase selection information carried in the idle period, a phase signal that the carrier oscillator needs to input to the mixer in the corresponding transmission period in the target symbol.

Step 503, performing mixing modulation according to the phase signal and the signal to be modulated to obtain a target modulation signal.

Optionally, the signal transmitting device transmits the target function signal to the mixer through the carrier oscillator, transmits the generated signal to be modulated to the mixer through the signal generating module, and performs mixing modulation on the signal to be modulated and the mixer.

Step 504, transmitting the target modulation signal.

Optionally, the signal transmitting device transmits the target modulation signal through the antenna module.

In summary, the signal transmitting apparatus according to the embodiment of the present application includes a signal generating module, a mixer, a carrier oscillator, and an antenna module, and generates a signal to be modulated, where the signal to be modulated includes at least one target symbol, and the target symbol includes a transmission time period and an idle time period; determining a phase signal input to a mixer by a carrier oscillator according to phase selection information carried in the idle time period; and performing mixing modulation according to the phase signal and the signal to be modulated to obtain a target modulation signal. According to the method and the device, the phase signal input by the carrier oscillator is determined through the phase selection information carried in the idle time period, so that different modulation modes are realized based on the phase selection information carried in the idle time period, signal modulation of other modes is realized under the condition that the structure of a transmitter of the current UWB protocol is not changed, and the signal transmission rate is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, taking the phase signal as a cosine function signal or a sine function signal as an example, under the condition that the transmitter structure of the current UWB protocol is not changed, QPSK modulation is implemented, and the rate of signal transmission is improved.

Referring to fig. 6, a flowchart of a method for transmitting a signal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The method can be applied to various terminals in the scenario shown in fig. 1, which may be a signal transmitting device comprising a signal generating module, a mixer, a carrier oscillator and an antenna module, wherein the mixer corresponds to the mixer module in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the carrier oscillator corresponds to the oscillator module in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the method is performed by the signal transmitting device. As shown in fig. 6, the signal transmission method includes the following steps.

Step 601, generating a signal to be modulated, where the signal to be modulated includes at least one target symbol, and the target symbol includes a transmission time period and an idle time period.

Optionally, in the signal transmitting apparatus, when signal transmission is required, the signal transmitting apparatus generates a signal to be modulated through its own signal generating module, where a signal format of the signal to be modulated includes at least one target symbol, and in the UWB communication protocol, a structure of one target symbol may be as shown in fig. 3, and in this application, the generated signal to be modulated may include at least one target symbol.

The process of generating the signal to be modulated may be to generate the signal to be modulated by adding phase selection information in an idle period of a target symbol of a first transmission signal, where the first transmission signal is any one of UWB ultra-wideband signals. For example, the first modulation signal is an HPRF PRF-249.6 MHz modulation signal defined in the 802.15.4z protocol, in which phase selection information is added to an idle period, so that the phase signal in the carrier oscillator can be subsequently converted based on the added phase selection information. Optionally, the first modulation signal may also be in other signal formats defined by the 802.15.4a and 802.15.4z protocols, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the phase selection information may be bit information, for example, represented by 0 and 1, and when the signal to be modulated is generated, 0 is added to an idle time period in the first modulation signal to implement generation of the signal to be modulated, or 1 is added to an idle time period in the first modulation signal to implement generation of the signal to be modulated.

Optionally, in the signal to be modulated, the set transmission time period may be used to transmit a pulse signal, and the set idle time period may be used to prevent multipath interference and interference between multiple users.

Step 602, when the phase selection information carried in the idle period is the first information, determining that the phase signal input by the carrier oscillator to the mixer is a cosine function signal.

Step 603, when the phase selection information carried in the idle period is the second information, determining that the phase signal input by the carrier oscillator to the mixer is a sine function signal.

Optionally, when the phase selection information carried in the idle period is the first information, it is determined that the phase signal input by the carrier oscillator to the mixer is a cosine function signal. When the phase selection information carried in the idle period is the second information, it is determined that the phase signal input to the mixer by the carrier oscillator is a sine function signal. Wherein the first information may be 0 in the above bit information. That is, if the phase selection information added in the idle period is 0, in this step, it may be determined that the phase signal of the carrier oscillator input to the mixer is a cosine function signal.

Similarly to the above table 1, in the case where the above bit information is 0 and 1, respectively, the phase signals are a cosine function signal and a sine function signal, respectively, thereby implementing QPSK modulation. For example, when the phase selection information carried in the idle period is 0, the signal transmitting apparatus may determine that the phase signal input to the mixer by the carrier oscillator is cos (wt), and when the phase selection information carried in the idle period is 1, the signal transmitting apparatus may determine that the phase signal input to the mixer by the carrier oscillator is sin (wt). Thereby enabling the mixer to select different phase functions.

Optionally, in this application, the target symbol may be further divided into two partitions, each partition includes a transmission time period and an idle time period, and the signal transmitting device may further determine, according to phase selection information carried in each idle time period in each partition, each phase signal input by the carrier oscillator to the forward mixer in the transmission time period in each partition. That is, if the target symbol is divided into two partitions in the protocol, and each partition contains a transmission time period and an idle time period, the signal transmitting device may further determine, according to phase selection information carried in each idle time period in each partition, a respective phase signal input to the mixer by the carrier oscillator in the transmission time period in each partition. When different information is added in the idle period, the function signals input by the carrier oscillator are different.

Still taking as an example that the signal to be modulated adds phase selection information in the idle period in the above-mentioned HPRF PRF-249.6 MHz modulation signal, please refer to fig. 7, which shows a schematic structural diagram of a target symbol according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, one target symbol 700 includes two partitions, a first partition 701 and a second partition 702, a first transmission period 701a and a first idle period 701b are included in the first partition 701, and a second transmission period 702a and a second idle period 702b are included in the second partition 702. If the phase selection information added in the first idle period 701b is 0 and the phase selection information added in the second idle period 702b is 1, the signal transmitting apparatus may further determine that the phase signal input to the forward mixer by the carrier oscillator in the first transmission period 701a in the first partition 701 is a cosine function signal and the phase signal input to the forward mixer in the second transmission period 702a in the first partition 701 is a sine function signal according to the phase selection information carried by each idle period in each partition.

And step 604, before the transmission time period is reached, switching the function signal input to the mixer by the carrier oscillator to a phase signal.

Optionally, in the process of performing mixing modulation, before a transmission time period in the target symbol comes, a function signal input by the carrier oscillator to the mixer is switched to a phase signal, and when the transmission time period comes, the mixer uses the corresponding phase signal, so that accuracy of the mixing modulation is ensured.

In a possible implementation manner, the switching point information may be set in an idle period, for example, the idle period further includes switching point information, the switching point information is located at a midpoint of the idle period, and the switching point information is used for indicating a time when the carrier oscillator performs function signal switching. For example, in fig. 7, each of the first idle period and the second idle period has its own switching point information (I/Q switching point), and each of the switching point information may be located at a midpoint of the respective idle period, and when a midpoint (I/Q switching point) in the first idle period before the second transmission period is reached, the function of the carrier oscillator output to the mixer is switched to sin (wt) branch, so as to achieve the effect of switching different function signals.

Step 605, performing mixing modulation according to the phase signal and the signal to be modulated to obtain a target modulation signal.

Optionally, the signal transmitting device performs mixing modulation on the phase signal and the signal to be modulated in the mixer to obtain the target modulation signal. Corresponding to the above implementation manner, the phase selection information added in the idle time periods in different partitions is different, and in this step, the signal transmitting device modulates the signal to be modulated according to the respective phase signal of each partition in the signal to be modulated.

Optionally, the signal transmitting device further includes a digital-to-analog converter, and the digital-to-analog converter converts the signal to be modulated from a digital signal to an analog signal before performing mixing modulation according to the phase signal and the signal to be modulated to obtain the target modulation signal; and performing mixing modulation according to the phase signal and the analog signal to obtain a target modulation signal.

Optionally, taking a UWB transmitting device as an example, please refer to fig. 8, which illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a signal transmitting device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the signal transmitting apparatus 800 includes a baseband module 801, a digital-to-analog converter 802(DAC), a mixer 803, a carrier oscillator 808, and an antenna module 805. As shown in fig. 8, the baseband module 801 generates a signal to be modulated in a digital signal waveform, the digital signal waveform is converted into an analog signal waveform by the DAC, and the analog signal is input to the mixer for mixing. The carrier oscillator 808 performs phase selection through phase selection information carried in an idle time period to realize switching of different function signals, so that a mixing signal adopted in the mixer realizes two signals in orthogonal phases, thereby realizing QPSK signal modulation of a signal to be modulated, and finally, the signal is transmitted through the antenna module, and the QPSK signal modulation and transmission processes of UWB signals are completed.
