为了使本领域技术人员更好地理解本申请实施例提供的技术方案,下面先介绍本申请提供的技术方案的应用场景。
参见图2,该图为本申请提供的射频收发信机的应用场景示意图。
在无线通信通信系统中,射频收发信机01支持MIMO功能,射频收发信机01包括多个接收天线和多个发射天线。其中,多个接收天线支持同时接收多个用户设备(User Equipment,UE)发送的信息,多个发射天线支持同时向多个UE02发送信息。在一些实施例中,UE02的具体类型包括但不限于手机、智能终端、多媒体设备、流媒体设备、车载设备、智能穿戴设备等。
射频收发信机01与上级的网络模块通过光纤进行通信。在一些实施例中,上级的网络模块为BBU03,BBU03一般设置在机房,一个BBU可以连接一个或者多个射频收发信机01。
继续参见图1所示的射频收发信机01的箱体内部结构,该架构对各部分电路的布局有严格的约束,其布局架构特点为:
作为对外接口的光模块接口20和电源接口30设置在箱体底部;
基带电路103与光模块接口20间的高速信号通过PCB级传输线连接,考虑到PCB级传输线的传输损耗的影响,基带电路102与光模块接口20间有严格的距离要求,也即要求基带电路102需位于箱体底部靠近光模块接口20处,由于基带电路103发热功率大,因此还需要设置散热组件60为光模块接口20降温;
中频电路102与基带电路103拉远布局,中频电路102与基带电路103之间通过PCB级传输线连接,为了降低PCB级传输线上的传输损耗,需要引入具有中继功能的时钟数据恢复电路(Clock Data Recover,CDR)电路104(A)和104(B),CDR电路的成本较高;
基带电路102与光模块接口20的相对位置被约束,基带电路102占据整个箱体的底部,因此电源模块50只能设置箱体顶部,电源接口30与电源模块50间通过汇流组件40连接。
由于以上的布局架构需要基带电路103位于箱体底部靠近光模块接口20处,这对对射频收发信机内部的硬件布局造成了约束。此外,由于基带电路103发热功率大,工作时发热会造成周边温度升高,导致离基带电路103较近的光模块接口20受到炙烤,为了保证光模块接口20和光模块正常工作,需要引入散热组件60,因此还增加了硬件成本,占用了布局空间,并且即使设置了散热组件,仍然可能影响光模块接口20和光模块工作时的稳定性。
为了解决以上技术问题,本申请提供了一种射频收发信机、射频收发信机用连接组件以及射频收发系统,该射频收发信机的箱体内包括连接组件,连接组件包括板端连接器、线缆和至少一个光模块接口。板端连接器用于连接基带电路。线缆的第一端用于连接至少一个光模块接口,线缆的第二端用于连接板端连接器。至少一个光模块接口中的每个光模块接口,用于外接一个光模块。通过连接组件实现光模块接口与基带电路之间的电连接,由于线缆可以具备一定的长度,因此光模块接口与基带电路之间可以间隔一定的距离,克服了光模块接口与基带电路之间通过PCB板级传输线连接时电路模块布局的约束,使得PCB上的电路布局能够更加灵活。由于光模块接口与基带电路可以间隔开,且与PCB不接触,使得光模块接口所处位置的温度受到基带电路发热的影响较小,因此可以采用自然散热方式,除去用于对光模块接口进行散热的散热组件,降低了硬件成本,减少了空间占用,保障了光模块接口和光模块工作时的稳定性。

射频收发信机箱体内的射频功率放大电路、中频电路和基带电路可以设置于同一块PCB上,或者设置于不同的PCB,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定,以下实施例中以射频功率放大电路、中频电路和基带电路设置于同一块PCB上为例进行说明。
参见图3,该图为本申请实施例提供的一种射频收发信机的示意图。
射频收发信机包括箱体,箱体内包括PCB10和连接组件70。PCB10上设置有基带电路103。
基带电路103用于合成待发射的第一基带信号,并对接收的第二基带信号进行解码。关于基带电路103的具体实现方式与功能,为较为成熟的技术,本申请实施例在此不再具体说明。

每个光模块接口20用于外接光模块(optical module)。光模块通常由光电子器件、功能电路和接口等部分组成,光模块可以将由线缆702传输的电信号转换为光信号后,通过光纤传输至上级网络模块,以及将上级网络模块通过光纤传输的光信号转换为电信号后通过线缆702以及板端连接器703传输至基带电路103。
本申请实施例提供的射频收发信机通过连接组件实现光模块接口与基带电路之间的电连接,由于线缆可以具备一定的长度,因此光模块接口与基带电路之间可以间隔一定的距离,克服了光模块接口与基带电路之间通过PCB板级传输线连接时电路模块布局的约束,使得PCB上的电路布局能够更加灵活。由于光模块接口与基带电路可以间隔开,且与PCB不接触,使得光模块接口所处位置的温度受到基带电路发热的影响较小,因此可以采用自然散热方式,除去用于对光模块接口进行散热的散热组件,降低了硬件成本,减少了空间占用。
下面结合射频收发信机的具体实现方式进行说明,以下说明中的射频收发信机的一种典型的应用场景为用于第五代移动通信技术(5th generation mobile networks,5G)无线通信系统中。
参见图4,该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种射频收发信机的示意图。

射频收发信机的天线接口位置一般对应于射频功率放大电路所在的位置,当射频功率放大电路对应位置设置有天线接口时,多根天线可以形成至少一个天线阵列,射频功率放大电路通过天线接口与至少一个天线阵列连接,此时射频功率放大电路通过连接的至少一个天线阵列接收或者发送信号,即此时射频功率放大电路启动工作。本申请实施例中的第一射频功率放大电路101(A)和第二射频功率放大电路101(B)中的至少一个启动工作。
本申请以下说明中的连接组件70设置于PCB10的后方,即PCB10的背面一侧。
参见图5,该图为本申请实施例提供的一种射频收发信机用连接组件的示意图。
图5中的射频收发信机用连接组件70包括固定板202、限位装置204、线缆702、板端连接器703和至少一个光模块笼子201。
图5以连接组件包括两个光模块笼子201为例进行说明,光模块笼子201内还包括输入输出(Input/Output,IO)连接器(图中未示出)。
每个光模块笼子201用于外接一个光模块。
IO连接器位于光模块笼子201内,IO连接器的第一端用于连接光模块,IO连接器的第二端用于连接线缆702的第一端。
IO连接器用于实现线缆702的第一端和光模块之间的数据传输。
当光模块插接入光模块笼子201后,光模块的第一端与光模块笼子201中的IO连接器连接,光模块的第二端通过光纤连接上级网络模块。
光模块可以将由线缆702传输的电信号转换为光信号后,通过光纤传输至上级网络模块,以及将上级网络模块通过光纤传输的光信号转换为电信号后通过线缆702以及板端连接器703传输至基带电路。
线缆702的第一端连接各光模块笼子201,线缆702的第二端连接板端连接器703。
限位装置204用于对线缆702进行限位。在一种可能的实现方式中,限位装置204用于将线缆702的第一端侧固定于固定板202,避免线缆702第一端侧发生移动,提升了线缆702和各光模块笼子201连接的稳定性;在另一种可能的实现方式中,限位装置204对线缆702的第一端进行粗定位,限位装置204的宽度大于线缆70的直径,此时线缆702穿过限位装置204,线缆702仅可以在小范围内进行挪动。
限位装置204可以设置一个或者多个,本申请实施例对限位装置204的具体数量不做限定。
光模块笼子201设置在固定板202上,固定板202上还设置有第一定位孔203。利用螺钉或销钉等紧固件与第一限位孔203结合,以将固定板202固定在射频收发信机的箱体内的底部。本申请实施例对第一定位孔203的具体数量不做限定。
板端连接器703上还设置有第二定位孔7031,第二定位孔7031用于限制板端连接器703和箱体之间的相对位置,以及用于限制板端连接器703和PCB之间的相对位置。
本申请实施例中的光模块笼子201以及固定板202固定在射频收发信机的箱体底部,本申请实施例对具体固定位置不做限定。
线缆702为低损耗的传输线缆,并且具备良好的电磁屏蔽性能,由于线缆702可以具备一定的长度,因此光模块笼子201和基带电路之间可以实现远距离连接,即将基带电路与光模块接口的布局约束解耦,使得基带电路的布局可以更加灵活,当基带电路与光模块接口之间存在一定的距离时,基带电路的发热不会影响光模块接口的正常工作,即不会影响光模块笼子与光模块的正常工作,一方面以提升了光模块笼子和光模块的稳定性,另一方面还可以去除散热组件,降低了硬件成本,节省了布局空间。
继续参见图1所示的布局架构,该架构存在的问题还包括:引入了具有中继功能 的CDR电路104(A)和104(B),提升了硬件成本,占用了额外的箱体空间;电源模块50拉远放到箱体的顶部,而电源接口30位于箱体的底部,需要使用外置的汇流组件40将二者连接,汇流组件40的使用同样增加了成本,并且还会造成电源损耗增大、电源泄露等问题,影响可靠性。下面说明本申请技术方案解决以上问题的方式。
利用图5所示的连接组件后,将基带电路与光模块接口的布局约束解耦,因此可以将基带电路与光模块接口拉远布局,将基带电路与中频电路拉近布局,具体可以参见图4所示的实现方式,将基带电路与中频电路共同设置于PCB10的第二区域内。此时基带电路103与中频电路102近距离布局,基带电路103与中频电路102之间即使通过PCB走线实现连接,也能够满足低传输损耗的要求,因此可以去除起中继功能的CDR电路,以降低成本,并且节省了占空的布局空间。
并且由于基带电路103与光模块接口的位置解耦且基带电路103上移设置,此时射频收发信机的箱体底部可以空余出足够的空间,可以用于设置电源模块50,也即电源模块50可以布局在靠近电源接口30的位置,因此可以去除汇流组件,缩短电源传输路径,可以减小损耗、避免电源泄露,提升了电源的可靠性。
下面具体说明该连接组件的设置方式。
参见图6,该图为本申请实施例提供的图4中区域A的示意图。
图6示出了箱体内未安装PCB10时,图4中区域A的放大场景。图6中的B区域对应图4中的第三区域,用于设置第二射频功率放大电路101(B)。
图6中的C区域为压线槽,图5所示连接组件的线缆702沿压线槽的轨迹嵌入压线槽内,一方面能够限制线缆的移动,另一方面能够对线缆进行保护。实际应用中,线缆702的嵌入形式及折弯形状及方向不限于附图中所示方式。
箱体包括了限位槽801和第三定位孔802。
限位槽801内用于设置板端连接器703。
本申请实施例对第三定位孔802的具体数量不做限定。在一种可能的实现方式中,第三定位孔802的数量与板端连接器703上设置的第二定位孔7031的数量相同。在另一种可能的实现方式中,第三定位孔802的数量与板端连接器703上第一部分第二定位孔7031的数量相同,也即第三定位孔802的数量小于第二定位孔7031的数量。

信号端面7033包含信号端子,用于和PCB上的信号端子进行连接,进而实现与基带电路的连接。
板端连接器703的非信号端面7032与箱体上的限位槽801通过第二紧固件7034实现扣连,本申请实施例对第二紧固件7034的数量和类型不做具体限定,例如第二紧固件7034可以设置两个,具体类型为销钉。
第二紧固件7034同时插入第二定位孔7031和第三定位孔802,此时第二紧固件7034对非信号端面7032与限位槽801进行宽松的限位,实现了对板端连接器703的初 步约束,板端连接器703可以在限位槽801上进行小范围移动,以便于根据需求调整板端连接器703的位置。
实际应用中,多个第二定位孔7031中的第一部分第二定位孔7031中插入第二紧固件7034,以对板端连接器703与限位槽801之间的相对位置的进行限定。
当在箱体内安装PCB时,利用紧固件通过PCB上的安装孔和箱体内设置的第五定位孔803将PCB与箱体进行紧固安装,此时该紧固件可以为销钉或者螺钉等,本申请实施例在此不做具体限定。
然后将PCB与板端连接器703的信号端面7033进行固定与连接,下面具体说明。
继续参见图5,当板端连接器703的非信号端面7032限位槽801扣接时,第一部分第二定位孔7031被占用,用于插接以上说明中的第二紧固件7034,进而限制板端连接器703在限位槽801内的移动范围,剩余的第二部分第二定位孔7031空余未被占用。未将板端连接器703与限位槽801直接固定是为了在后续进行PCB与板端连接器703的定位时,能够对板端连接器703的位置进行调节。
剩余的第二部分第二定位孔7031用于对PCB与信号端面7033之间的相对位置进行限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,PCB上设置有第三紧固件,PCB上的第三紧固件与板端连接器703上未被占用的第二定位孔7031结合,以限制PCB相对于板端连接器703的移动范围。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,PCB上设置有第四定位孔,PCB上的第四定位孔与连接组件703上未被占用的第二定位孔7031对齐后,使用第三紧固件同时插入以上两个定位孔,以限制所述板端连接器相对于PCB的移动范围。。本申请实施例对第四定位孔的数量不做具体限定。
本申请实施例对第三紧固件的具体类型不做限定,例如可以为销钉或者螺钉。

在一些实施例中,信号端面7033的信号端子与PCB的信号端子通过压接的方式连接,为了确保信号端面7033的信号端子与PCB的信号端子之间连接的可靠性,以上的第三紧固件为螺钉,通过螺钉将两侧的信号端子紧固。
在另一些实施例中,信号端面7033的信号端子与PCB的信号端子通过插接的方式实现连接,例如信号端面7033的信号端子为公端,PCB的信号端子为母端,或者信号端面7033的信号端子为母端,公端与母端之间对应插接。
在又一些可能的实现方式中,PCB上设置基带电路的区域内还设置有至少一个第五定位孔,板端连接器还包括至少一个第六定位孔7035。第五定位孔和第六定位孔7035用于和螺钉结合,以将板端连接器和PCB固定,当通过螺钉紧密固定板端连接器和PCB固定后,使得信号端面7033上的信号端子和PCB上的信号端子能够紧密连接。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的射频收发信机通过连接组件实现光模块接口与基带电路之间的电连接,由于连接组件的线缆可以具备一定的长度,克服了光模块接口 与基带电路之间通过PCB板级传输线连接时电路模块布局的约束,使得PCB上的电路布局能够更加灵活。由于光模块接口与基带电路可以间隔开,且与PCB不接触,使得光模块接口所处位置的温度受到基带电路发热的影响较小,因此可以采用自然散热方式,除去用于对光模块接口进行散热的散热组件,降低了硬件成本,减少了空间占用。又因基带电路可以与中频电路近距离布局,此时即使通过PCB板走线也能够满足损耗要求,因此可以除去起中继作用的CDR电路,以降低硬件成本。此外,电源模块可以布局在靠近电源接口的位置,可以去除现有技术中的汇流组件,缩短电源传输路径,可以减小损耗、避免电源泄露,提升了电源的可靠性。

中频电路102将第一基带信号转换为第一中频信号后传输至第一射频功率放大电路101(A),以及将第一射频功率放大电路101(A)发送的第二中频信号转换为第二基带信号。
第一射频功率放大电路101(A)用于将第一中频信号转换为第一射频信号,以及将接收到的第二射频信号转换为第二中频信号。
此时图8所示的射频收发信机支持连接的天线的数量为图4所示的射频收发信机的一半,可以应用于无线通信业务需求量较小的场景,并且由于光模块接口与基带电路103之间间隔了以上的空闲区域,光模块接口所处位置温度受到基带电路的影响较小,因此可以采用自然散热方式,去除现有技术中的散热组件,降低了硬件成本,减少了空间占用。
该空闲区域可以作为预留的改造区域,例如当无线通信业务需求量增加时,在该空闲区域上相应设置第二射频功率放大电路101(B)。

此时图10所示的射频收发信机支持连接的天线的数量为图4所示的射频收发信机的一半,可以应用于无线通信业务需求量较小的场景,并且由于光模块接口与基带电路103之间间隔了第二射频功率放大电路101(B),光模块接口所处位置温度受到基带电路的影响较小,因此可以采用自然散热方式,去除现有技术中的散热组件,降低了硬件成本,减少了空间占用。
对于以上的图7A至图10所示的各射频收发信机,还可以进一步将基带电路103与中频电路102进行近距离布局,此时即使通过PCB板级传输线也能够满足损耗要求,因此可以去除起中继作用的CDR电路,以降低硬件成本。此外,电源模块可以布局在靠近电源接口的位置,因此可以去除现有技术中的汇流组件,缩短电源传输路径,可以减小损耗、避免电源泄露,提升了电源的可靠性。

参见图11,该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种射频收发信机的示意图。
PCB10沿竖直方向设置于光模块接口上方,且PCB10沿竖直方向的最下侧高于光模块接口预设高度H。本申请实施例对预设高度不做具体限定,实际应用中,预设高度应满足使基带电路103对光模块接口周围的温度的影响较小。
图11所示射频收发信机与图1所示射频收发信机的区别在于:将原先设置于PCB顶端的电源模块50下移以使电源模块与电源接口30靠近,将PCB上移设置,以使光模块接口与PCB上的基带电路103之间存在足够的间隔。
由于光模块接口与基带电路103之间存在足够的距离间隔,光模块接口所处位置温度受到基带电路的影响较小,因此可以采用自然散热方式,去除现有技术中的散热组件,降低了硬件成本,并且图10所示的PCB各模块的布局与图1所示的PCB各模块的布局维持相同,便于对现有的射频收发信机进行改造,降低了硬件改造的成本。此外,电源模块50可以布局在靠近电源接口30的位置,可以去除现有技术中的汇流组件,缩短电源传输路径,可以减小损耗、避免电源泄露,提升了电源的可靠性。

射频收发信机01和BBU03之间通过光纤进行通信,射频收发信机01支持MIMO功能,一方面,射频收发信机01通过光纤获取BBU发送的光信号,通过光模块将光信号转换为高速电信号,经由内部的基带电路和射频功率放大电路进行处理后,通过多个发射天线向多个用户设备进行发送;另一方面,射频收发信机01能够通过多个接收天线接收多个用户设备发送的射频信号,经由内部的射频功率放大电路和基带电路进行处理后转换为高速电信号,再通过光模块将高速电信号转换为光信号后通过光纤传输至BBU03。
关于射频收发信机01的具体实现方式以及工作原理可以参见以上实施例中的相关说明,本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的射频收发信机通过连接组件实现光模块接口与基带电路之间的电连接,由于线缆可以具备一定的长度,因此光模块接口与基带电路之间可以间隔一定的距离,克服了光模块接口与基带电路之间通过PCB板级传输线连接时电路模块布局的约束,使得PCB上的电路布局能够更加灵活。由于光模块接口与基带电路可以间隔开,且与PCB不接触,使得光模块接口所处位置的温度受到基带电路发热的影响较小,因此可以采用自然散热方式,除去用于对光模块接口进行散热的散热组件,降低了硬件成本,减少了空间占用。
进一步的,还可以将基带电路与中频电路近距离布局,此时基带电路与中频电路之间即使通过PCB走线实现连接,也能够满足低传输损耗的要求,因此可以去除起中继功能的CDR电路,以降低成本,并且节省了占空的布局空间。并且由于基带电路与光模块接口的位置解耦且基带电路上移设置,此时射频收发信机的箱体底部可以空余出足够的空间用于设置,可以用于设置电源模块,也即电源模块可以布局在靠近电源接口的位置,因此可以去除汇流组件,缩短电源传输路径,可以减小损耗、避免电源泄露,提升了电源的可靠性。
本申请实施例中的射频(Radio Frequency,RF)指可以辐射到空间的电磁频率,频率范围从300kHz至300GHz,本申请实施例不做具体限定。
应当理解,在本申请中,“至少一个(项)”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,用于描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系。
以上仅是本申请的具体实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本申请的保护范围。
