Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a new antenna architecture used in a mobile phone for adjusting the antenna matching circuits operating in different function modes in different frequency bands. More specifically, a mobile phone having independent matching circuits corresponding to different RF circuits, which is capable of individually adjusting the matching circuits to optimize the mobile phone performance.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Owing to the rapid development of wireless communication systems, people can access resources, exchange information, and share experiences via a mobile phone or other wireless communication devices anytime and anywhere. Modern mobile phones with dual-band or multi-band capabilities have allowed users to access various wireless network resources and expand access capability for convenience. How to promote the dual-band mobile phones becomes a key point for modern information industry. In a typical multimode, multi-band wireless communication system, the same identical antenna and matching circuit are used to transceive various electromagnetic waves with different frequencies which may have completely different field patterns. Therefore, it has become an important issue to efficiently unify various access capabilities associated with various bands into one single antenna which will not interfere the operation of the antenna in one band with the other. In the following description, we will focus on dual band mobile phones to illustrate the idea. However, the same idea can be applied to any multi-band wireless communication device using a single antenna port to transmit/receive radiation signals.
- Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, where FIG. 1 shows a conventional dual-band
mobile phone 10 and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the conventional dual-bandmobile phone 10.Mobile phone 10 includes abaseband circuit 18, a radio frequency circuit 40, anantenna 20, aninput device 12, amonitor 14, amicrophone 36 and aspeaker 38. Thebaseband circuit 18 includes aprocessor 16 for controlling the operation of themobile phone 10. Theinput device 12 can be a button or other trigger devices for receiving control commands from a user and for transmitting them to theprocessor 16 which controls themobile phone 10 according to the user's manipulation. A graphic operation status with respect to themobile phone 10 can be shown on themonitor 14 through theprocessor 16. Themonitor 14 can be a liquid crystal device (LCD) or a touch panel with theinput device 12. Themicrophone 36 is used to receive sound waves from the user, to generate a corresponding audio signal 42 and to send the audio signal 42 to thebaseband circuit 18. Thespeaker 38 can transform asound signal 43 into sound waves, and let the user hear the corresponding sound. - In a dual-band mobile phone, the radio frequency circuit40 within the
mobile phone 10 includes two radio frequency (RF)signal circuits frequency circuit signal 22A can be used for processing CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) signals associated with a PCS (Personal Communication Services) band, where its frequency range is roughly 1900 MHz; the other radiofrequency circuit signal 22B can be used for processing AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) signals associated with a Cellular band, where its frequency range is roughly 900 MHz. TheRF circuits power controllers isolators duplexers circuits mobile phone 10, both theRF circuits matching circuit 26 by way of thediplexer 24, and then are electrically connected to theantenna 20. While one band of the dual-bandmobile phone 10 is in use, the RF circuit corresponding to that band is switched on; meanwhile, the other RF circuit operated in the other band within themobile phone 10 is turned off because themobile phone 10 temporarily cuts off power supply to it. - The wireless communication operation of the
mobile phone 10 describes as follows. If the band corresponding to theRF circuit 22A is in use, theRF circuit 22B is turned off. Sound from the user is received by themicrophone 36, transformed into audio signal 42, and then transmitted to thebaseband circuit 18. Thebaseband circuit 18 encodes, modulates the audio signal 42, and performs other necessary signal processes, so as to generate acommunication signal 44A. Then thesignal 44A is transmitted to apower controller 28A where it is up converted to the correct frequency and the power level is adjusted to meet the communication requirement. The adjustedcommunication signal 46A is sent to theduplexer 32A by way of theisolator 30A for ensuring the power from thepower controller 28A to theduplexer 32A rather than from theduplexer 32A, where theisolator 30A can greatly reduce the power reflected from theduplexer 32A for preventing from breaking thepower controller 28A. Thecommunication signal 46A is transmitted to the matching circuit 26A, and then to theantenna 20, where it is wirelessly broadcasted. In this way, the owner can broadcast desired message to a wireless network through themobile phone 10. Similarly, messages from the wireless network can be received by theantenna 20 of themobile phone 10, and then be passed through thematching circuit 26 and thediplexer 24 to the RF circuit 40. Thediplexer 24 functions similarly as a filter, capable of filtering of various RF band signals, and delivering these signals to corresponding RF circuits. For instance, suppose that theRF circuits antenna 20 by way of the matchingcircuit 26, thediplexer 24 filters off the signals within 1900 MHz and sends them to theRF circuit 22A. Meanwhile, theduplexer 24 filters off the signals within 900 MHz and sends them to theRF circuit 22B. A signal received by theRF circuit 22A is passed to thereceiving circuit 34A through theduplexer 32A, and then transmitted to thebaseband circuit 18 for modulating, decoding, or signal processing so as to generate thecorresponding sound signal 43 capable of being transformed into sound waves which can be played by thespeaker 38. In this way, themobile phone 10 can receive messages from network. Note that theduplexer 32A is similarly functioned as a filter as well. Although theRF circuit 22A is operated under the band of 1900 MHz, the signal emitted from theantenna 20 to the wireless network is substantially in the range of 1850 MHz and 1910 MHz. The signal sent back from the wireless network and received by theantenna 20 is substantially in the range of 1930 MHz and 1990 MHz. Hence, the 1930 MHz-to-1990 MHz signal can be filtered off by theduplexer 32A as the receivedsignal 49A and be passed to thereceiving circuit 34A. - Similarly, if the
RF circuit 22B is operated under the corresponding band, theRF circuit 22A stops operating. The user's message will pass themicrophone 36, thebaseband circuit 18, theRF circuit 22B, thepower controller 28B, theisolator 30B, theduplexer 32B, thediplexer 24, thematching circuit 26, and theantenna 20, and is wirelessly sent to the network. The received signal from the wireless network with the corresponding band, received by theantenna 20, will pass thematching circuit 26, thediplexer 24, theduplexer 32B, thereceiving circuit 34B, and thebaseband circuit 18, and will be played by themicrophone 36. Although theRF circuit 22B is operated under the band of 900 MHz, the signal emitted from theantenna 20 to the wireless network is substantially in the range of 824 MHz to 849 MHz. The signal sent back from the wireless network and received by theantenna 20 is substantially in the range of 869 MHz to 894 MHz. Hence, the 869 MHz-to-894 MHz signal can be filtered off by theduplexer 32B as the receivedsignal 49A and be passed to thereceiving circuit 34B. - For the RF circuit40 of the conventional
mobile phone 10, in general, thematching circuit 26 is composed of passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The phase between voltage and current can be changed and the output power is likely to be reduced when the signal is passing through thematching circuit 26. The field pattern of the transmitting signal, especially the near field, emitted from theantenna 20 changes as the phase between the voltage and the current changes. For this reason, the field pattern of the transmitting signal from theantenna 20 changes with the component parameters (e.g. a resistance, a capacitance, an inductance) of thematching circuit 26. From FIG. 2 and the above description, no matter which band is in use, the signal has to pass the samematching circuit 26. In other words, the same matching circuit need to be optimized for all frequency bands in use. However, different frequencies may require different matching circuits for optimal performance. This will result in a trouble of the design of antenna matching circuit. For example, while theRF circuit 22A is operating, the gain of the antenna pattern is probably so large that the power of the wireless signal transmitting from theantenna 20 is too strong. Modifying thematching circuit 26 to reduce the antenna gain pattern forRF circuit 22A may result in a lower or higher than expected gain pattern forRF circuit 22B. Too lower gain may degrade the quality communication, and too higher gain may lead to a violation of government regulations (eg. FCC regulations). Similarly, for the conventionalmobile phone 10, no matter which band is in use, the received or the transmitted signal has to pass the samematching circuit 26 and the antenna gain pattern of the received and transmitted signals may be affected simultaneously. - FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of another conventional
mobile phone 50. Themobile phone 50 can be a typical GSM (Global System for Mobile communication)/DCS dual-band mobile phone, which is operated at the GSM 900 MHz and DCS 1800 MHz. For simplicity, the identical labeled components of themobile phone 50 and those of themobile phone 10 have the same function. Themobile phone 50 also comprises amicrophone 36, abaseband circuit 18, aprocessor 16, aninput device 12, amonitor 14, anantenna 20, and amatching circuit 26. TheRF portion 45 comprises two RF circuits, 52A and 52B. Each circuit can transceive RF signals in different frequency bands. The two RF circuits also havepower controllers circuits switch 56 is similar to thediplexer 24 shown in FIG. 2, which is used for transmitting and receiving signals from theantenna 20 to either theRF circuit 52A or theRF circuit 52B based on the band selected. Theswitches RF circuit duplexers microphone 36, and then the electrical signal is coded, modulated, and processed by thebaseband circuit 18. If operated at the frequency band corresponding to theRF circuit 52B, the processed signal will pass through thepower controller 28B, theswitch 54B, theswitch 56, the matchingcircuit 26 and then finally be transmitted to the wireless network via theantenna 20. Alternately, in the case of receiving signal, the signal received by theantenna 20 will pass through the matchingcircuit 26, theswitch 56, theswitch 54B, the receivingcircuit 34B,baseband circuit 18 and is finally played by thespeaker 38. However, the different transceived signals in different bands have to pass theidentical matching circuit 26. Thus the field pattern for each transceived signal can not be individually adjusted and this phone will have the same disadvantage as themobile phone 10. - It is therefore a primary objective of the present invention to provide a mobile phone and a related method to solve the problem mentioned above.
- To summarize briefly, the claimed invention provides a mobile phone comprising of independent matching circuits to individually adjust the antenna gain patterns of the transceived signals in different frequency bands. In this way, the mobile phone can be optimized to meet various requirements, which can not only keep good communication quality, but also reduce unwanted transmitted electromagnetic power.

mobile phone 60. Themobile phone 60 can be a CDMA/AMPS/PCS dual-band, tri-mode mobile phone. Themobile phone 60 comprises abaseband circuit 68, anRF circuit 90, anantenna 70, amicrophone 86, aspeaker 88, aninput device 62, and amonitor 64. Thebaseband circuit 68 has aprocessor 66 for controlling operation of themobile phone 60. The user inputs control instruments to theprocessor 66, which is displayed on themonitor 64 such as an LCD for showing the operation state of themobile phone 60. Themobile phone 60 has anRF circuit 72A for cellular CDMA/AMPS mode and anRF circuit 72B for PCS mode. Within theRF circuit power controllers circuits diplexer 74, andduplexers power controllers isolators circuits diplexer 24, and theduplexers - The difference between the present invention and the prior art is that independent matching circuits are individually implemented to adjust the field patterns of the corresponding transceived signals. As shown in FIG. 4, within the
RF circuits circuits RF circuit 72A, themicrophone 86 transforms the received sound sent out by the user intoaudio signal 92. Theaudio signal 92 is transformed intocommunication signal 94A through thebaseband circuit 68. Meanwhile, theRF circuit 72B is suspended. Thepower controller 78A will adjust the power of thecommunication signal 94A intocommunication signal 96A. Thematching circuit 76A adjusts the phase and amplitude of the current and voltage of thecommunication signal 96A to generate transmittingsignal 98A. Finally, the transmittingsignal 98A is wirelessly sent to a wireless network by theantenna 70 through theduplexer 82A and thediplexer 74. - Alternately, wireless signal from the wireless network is received by the
antenna 70 of themobile phone 60, and is transformed into receivingsignal 99A by way ofdiplexer 74, andduplexer 82A. The matching circuit 77A adjusts the phase and amplitude of the current and voltage of the receivingsignal 99A to form receivingsignal 99B. Thesignal 99B through the receivingcircuit 84A is processed by thebaseband circuit 68 to generate audio signal 93A that is transformed into sound waves and is played by thespeaker 88. The amplitude and phase between current and voltage are the key parameters in determining the radiation efficiency as well as the near field radiation pattern. The purpose of the matching circuit is to alter these parameters so as to optimize the antenna performance. In conventional phone designs, this matching circuit is placed between the antenna and the diplexer which can change the current and voltage at the antenna feeding point directly. However, the same purpose can be achieved with different matching circuits placed at different locations. As shown in FIG. 4, thematching circuit 76A can be used to adjust the phase and amplitude of the transmitting current and voltage at theantenna port 70 while the matching circuit 77A can be used to adjust the same parameters of the received signal. Because the transmitted and received signals are in different frequency bands, each signal path will have very different signal characteristics. Unlike the conventional design where single matching circuit is used to match the antenna to all frequency bands, in this invention, different matching circuits can be used to optimize the performance of the corresponding band. The same principle is suitable to theRF circuit 72B of themobile phone 60. - From above description, the individual matching circuits implemented on different transceiving loops are capable of adjusting the field pattern without interfering with each other. Because the
matching circuit 76A is located between theduplexer 82A and thepower controller 78A, the equivalent impedance along the receiving loop (i.e. the loop from theduplexer 82A to the receivingcircuit 84A) is not changed. Equivalently, the field pattern gain of the receiving loop is also not changed. In this way, on one hand, the field pattern of the transmitting loop is capable of being properly controlled for reducing the transmitting power of electromagnetic wave, on the other hand, the field pattern of the receiving loop of theantenna 70 remains to ensure the quality of signal-receiving. - Similarly, the field patterns under various frequency bands are not interfered with each other. As shown in FIG. 4, the matching circuits for matching the field pattern are located between the
diplexer 74 and thebaseband circuit 68. Even if either element parameter of the matching circuits is adjusted, the other matching circuits for the other bands remain the same. For example, if the field pattern of the signal-transmitting through theRF circuit 72B is changed, due to the element parameter adjustment of thematching circuit 76B, both the field pattern of the signal-transceiving through theRF circuit 72A and that of the signal-receiving through theRF circuit 72B are not changed. Therefore, the field patterns associated with various frequency bands are capable of being individually adjusted, improving the prior art defect that each field pattern of signal-transceiving is changed as the element parameter of the matching circuit is altered. Moreover, within themobile phone 60, the matchingcircuits duplexers isolators isolators matching circuits - Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows a block diagram of a second embodiment of the dual-band
mobile phone 100. For simplicity, elements that have the same function as that described in FIG. 4 are provided the same item numbers used in the above description of themobile phone 60. Differing from themobile phone 60, themobile phone 100 constitutes thematching circuits circuits antenna 70 passively receives the radio signal and does not actively transmit electromagnetic waves, not threatening users health. Consequently, it is not necessary to adjust the field pattern of the signal-receiving, and the corresponding matching circuit can be omitted. For example, thematching circuit 76A can consist of capacitors C1, C2 and an inductor L1, functioning to adjust the phase and amplitude of the voltage and current. For matching the antenna, the capacitance of the capacitors C1, C2 or the inductance of the inductor L1 are adjusted. - Please refer to FIG. 6, which shows a block diagram of a third embodiment of the
mobile phone 110. Similar to themobile phone 50 shown in FIG. 3, themobile phone 110 can be a GSM/DCS dual-band mobile phone. For simplicity, elements that have the same function as that described in FIG. 5 are provided the same item numbers used in the above description of themobile phone 100. TheRF circuit 134 of themobile phone 110 has twoRF circuits switches power controllers circuits switches power controllers circuits switch 126 functions as theswitch 56 shown in FIG. 3 for distributing signal from theantenna 70 to the twoRF circuits individual matching circuits - In contrast to prior art, the present invention mobile phone has independent matching circuits corresponding to different RF circuits, and is capable of individually adjusting the field pattern of the transceived signal of the mobile phone. When adjusting either matching circuit, only the field pattern of transceived signal corresponding to the adjusted matching circuit is changed, but the transceived signal corresponding to the other matching circuits remains the same. Consequently, the designer is capable of adjusting optimal field pattern depending on different transceived signal requirements, which are operated on different frequency bands. So, the mobile phone can not only keep good quality for received signal, but also adjust the transmitted electromagnetic power to the probable level at the same time. According to the present invention, the technique is employed to the single-band mobile phone as well, for adjusting the field pattern of signal-transmitting and that of signal receiving for the same frequency band. Furthermore, the present invention technique is also capable of being applied to other wireless apparatuses, which also belongs to the scope of the present invention.
- Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the method and the device may be made while retaining the technique of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
