DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The basic idea of the disclosure is that: equipment with lead wires is reused as a receiving antenna to receive FM signals.
The disclosure will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments hereinafter.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for receiving signals according to the disclosure; as shown in FIG. 1, the method for receiving signals includes the following steps.
Step 101, equipment with lead wires in a mobile terminal is reused as a receiving antenna to receive FM signals;
specifically, existing equipment with lead wires in the mobile terminal is reused as an antenna for receiving FM signals to receive FM signals; herein, as long as equipment which is connected with a mainboard of the mobile terminal through a lead wire in the mobile terminal can be called equipment with lead wires, such as a Speaker, a motor, a flexible circuit board used for connecting signals of a plurality of circuits, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) and the like; a large amount of experiments show that, a length of the lead wire of equipment with lead wires has great influence on receiving performance of FM signals, and the length is directly relative to an FM signal receiving efficiency of a receiving antenna, so as to influence the receiving performance of the FM signals; in a practical application, when the length of the lead wire is generally greater than 30 mm, debugged performance of the FM signal receiving antenna can be received; and if the length of the lead wire reaches 60 mm, then the debugged performance of the FM signal receiving antenna is better.
In the related art, a Speaker of a mobile terminal is only used for playing audio; FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of connection between a Speaker and a circuit on a mainboard of a mobile terminal in the related art; as shown in FIG. 2, two lead wires of the Speaker are respectively connected with a positive input end (Spk+) and a negative input end (Spk−) relative to audio playback on the mainboard of the mobile terminal; and the connection mode generally has two modes, i.e., welding and crimping, wherein the welding mode is more reliable.
According to a signal receiving principle of the antenna, as long as a metal which can be excited an induction current, such as a metal piece, a metal wire or the like, can serve as an antenna; and a Speaker is taken as an example to show how to receive FM signals by utilizing the Speaker as a receiving antenna; on the basis of the Speaker serving as the speaker, a lead wire is pulled from the Spk+ or the Spk−, and finally the lead wire is connected with a base electrode (b) of a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to realize reusing of the Speaker: the Speaker not only serves as a speaker of the mobile terminal and but also serves as an FM signal receiving antenna of the mobile terminal with the lead wire together; when the Speaker and the lead wire serve as the FM signal receiving antenna, the lead wire connected with the LNA, on the Spk+ or the Spk−, has a metal wire, so the Speaker and the lead wire thereof can receive the FM signals and the FM signals flow into an antenna matching network from the Spk+ or the Spk−; in addition, a magnetic core coil in the Speaker can further enhance an receiving effect of the FM signals.
Because of reusing the Speaker, an impedance of the circuit in which the Speaker serves as a speaker and an impedance of the FM signal receiving circuit in which the Speaker and the lead wire serve as the receiving antenna for the FM signals are very close in an FM signal frequency band, so that the circuit in which the Speaker serves as the speaker can shunt the FM signals received by the receiving antenna to cause great attenuation of the FM signals entering the FM signal receiving circuit and reduce the receiving effect of the FM signals; therefore, the circuit in which the Speaker serves as the speaker needs to be improved, that is, two magnetic beads are added on the basis of FIG. 2 to prevent the FM signals from entering the circuit in which the Speaker serves as the speaker, thereby preventing the great attenuation of the FM signals entering the FM signal receiving circuit; FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a circuit improved on a circuit in which a Speaker serves as a speaker according to the disclosure; as shown in FIG. 3, a magnetic bead R1 is added between an inductor L3 and the Spk+, and a magnetic R2 is added between an inductor L4 and the Spk−; the magnetic bead is different from a resistor: the magnetic bead has hardly any resistance in a situation of direct current and has a high impedance at a high frequency, and the resistance of the magnetic bead changes along with the change of the frequency, while the resistance of the resistor is the same no matter in the situation of the direct current or at the high frequency; in a practical application, the used magnetic beads are preferably the magnetic beads having the impedance of below 0.5 ohms in the situation of the direct current and having the impedance of above 1500 ohms at the high frequency (such as 100 MHz).
Step 102, receiving performance of the receiving antenna is debugged;
specifically, in order to make the receiving performance of the receiving antenna reach optimal, the antenna matching network needs to debug the receiving performance of the receiving antenna; two debugging methods are provided: the first debugging method is that one inductor is connected in series and simultaneously one inductor is connected in parallel, and the inductor in parallel is grounded; and the second debugging method is that one inductor is connected in series and simultaneously one capacitor is connected in parallel, and the capacitor in parallel is grounded; and by changing the values of the capacitance and the inductance, the playback effect of the FM signals is audited and verified to realize the debugging of the receiving performance of the receiving antenna;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a receiving circuit of FM signals according to the disclosure, which includes schematic diagrams of a circuit for debugging receiving performance of a receiving antenna and a circuit for increasing a signal-to-noise ratio of FM signals received by the antenna; as shown in FIG. 4, the first debugging method is adopted, the antenna matching network receives FM signals received by the Speaker serving as the receiving antenna, because the FM signals have direct-current components, if a blocking processing is not performed, a short circuit can be caused by the direct-current components so as to burn out the Speaker, the blocking processing is performed on the FM signals by a capacitor C7 in the antenna matching network circuit; the FM signals reach an inductor L5 after passing through the capacitor C7, and then reach an inductor L6 and a capacitor C8 respectively; and the receiving performance of the receiving antenna is debugged by adjusting the values of the inductor L5 and the inductor L6.
Step 103, the signal-to-noise ratio of the FM signals received by the antenna is increased;
specifically, in order to further improve the quality of the FM signals, the FM signals are further debugged by utilizing an LNA circuit, that is, the FM signals received by the antenna are amplified to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the FM signals; as shown in FIG. 4, the FM signals reach the capacitor C8, and the capacitor C8 performs the blocking processing on the FM signals passing through the inductor L5, so as to prevent that a base electrode (b) of a triode VT5 is short circuit to ground (direct current); the FM signals which have been subjected to the blocking processing of the capacitor C8 reach the triode VT5; the triode VT5 amplifies the FM signals so as to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the FM signals; the FM signals amplified by the triode VT5 flow to a capacitor C12 from a collector electrode (c) of the triode VT5, and the capacitor C12 performs the blocking processing on the FM signals and then transmits the FM signals to an FM chip; a resistor R3, a resistor R4 and a resistor R5 are direct-current bias resistors of a triode VT5 amplifying circuit, a capacitor C9 is a bypass capacitor, and an inductor L7, a capacitor C10 and a capacitor C11 are a choke inductor and filter capacitors for supplying power to the LNA circuit respectively.
Step 104, the FM signals are demodulated, and audio signals obtained by demodulating are transmitted to the Speaker for playing;
specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the FM signals finally flow into the FM chip through an FM signal input pin of the FM chip; since a noise ratio in the amplified FM signals is high, the FM signals need to be demodulated by the FM chip, that is, the FM chip performs detection on the received FM signals to filter a noise part in the FM signals and obtain the audio signals used for playing from the FM signals; the audio output positive pin of the FM chip is connected with the Spk+ of the speaker, the audio output negative pin of the FM chip is connected with the Spk− of the speaker, and the FM chip transmits the audio signals to the Speaker for playing through the audio output positive pin and the audio output negative pin; and
the FM chip in the embodiment can exist independently and can also be integrated with other chips; for example, the FM chip can be integrated with a baseband processing chip of a mobile terminal, a WiFi chip, or a Bluetooth chip, and also can be integrated with the FM chip, the WiFi chip and the Bluetooth chip together.
