Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present application relates to an intercrossed technical field covering radio frequency technology and surface acoustic wave technology, especially to an anti-interference temperature signal receiving device and a signal processing method thereof.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A temperature measurement system, which is designed based on principles and characteristics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillator, generally utilizes identical receiving and transmitting frequency with different receiving and transmitting time periods. In principle, transceiving interference issues should have been avoided when the receiving and transmitting time periods are different, however, since receiving and transmitting local oscillator circuits utilize phase-locked hoop frequency synthesizer technology, a time interval from the time when the digital processing chipset transmits frequency to the time when the phase-locked hoop local oscillator outputs a working frequency is at least 500 microseconds, furthermore, it would take 20 microseconds for the receiving end to receive data, which would make a transmitting of a receiving frequency signal and a transmitting of the next transmitting frequency signal basically synchronous. The transmitting and receiving frequencies may interfere with each other, which would make the measured temperature inaccurate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and thoroughly hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the embodiments described herein are merely parts of but not exclusive embodiments of the present application. All alternative embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative works shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.


As shown in FIG. 1, the anti-interference temperature signal receiving device includes a digital signal processing chip, a transmitting phase-locked loop local oscillator, a fixed intermediate frequency oscillator, a first mixer, a first band-pass filter, a power amplifier, a transceiver module, a second band-pass filter, a low noise amplifier, a receiving phase-locked loop local oscillator, a second mixer, a receiving intermediate frequency filter, a second receiving local oscillator, a third mixer, and a power supply circuit. During the process of transmitting an actuating signal: a transmitting signal is transmitted in advanced by the digital signal processing chip to the transmitting phase-locked loop local oscillator, wherein the frequency of the transmitting signal is higher or lower than a reference signal frequency. The transmitting signal will be stable after processed by the transmitting phase-locked loop local oscillator. The stable transmitting signal, as well as an intermediate frequency signal generated by the fixed intermediate frequency oscillator would be transmitted to the first mixer. The first mixer will have the stable transmitting signal and the intermediate frequency signal transmitted by the fixed intermediate frequency oscillator mixed and generate a first intermediate signal which has a frequency consistent with the reference signal frequency. The first intermediate signal will be filtered by the band-pass filter to generate a first filtered intermediate signal which will be amplified by the power amplifier to generate a first amplified intermediate signal which would be transmitted as the actuating signal through the transceiver module. For example, the transmitting signal transmitted by the digital signal processing chip to the transmitting phase-locked loop local oscillator is a signal with a frequency of 755.5 MHZ; the intermediate frequency signal generated by the fixed intermediate frequency oscillator is a signal with a frequency of 320 MHZ; the first intermediate signal mixed by the transmitting signal and the intermediate frequency signal through the first mixer is a signal of a frequency of 435.5 MHZ, the reference signal transmitted by the digital signal processing chip to the receiving phase-locked loop local oscillator is a signal with a frequency of 435.5 MHZ, therefore, the frequency of the first intermediate signal is consistent with the reference signal frequency, which ensures that the transmitting and receiving are of identical frequency. During the process of receiving and processing a response signal and obtaining a temperature signal: the response signal returned by a sensor will be received by the transceiver module, transmitted to and filtered by the second band-pass filter to generate a filtered response signal which is a frequency signal with a bandwidth. After amplified by the low noise amplifier, the filtered response signal will be mixed with the reference signal transmitted by the digital signal processing chip to the receiving phase-locked loop local oscillator through the second mixer to generate a second intermediate signal which will be filtered by the receiving intermediate frequency filter to generate a second filtered intermediate signal. The second filtered intermediate signal and a low frequency signal transmitted by the second local oscillator are mixed by the third mixer to generate a third intermediate signal which is further transmitted to the digital signal processing chip for analysis and processing, obtaining the temperature data. The power supply circuit provides power for the whole anti-interference temperature signal receiving device.


As shown in FIG. 2, the transceiver module disclosed herein includes a transceiver switch 1, antenna selection switches 2 and an antenna 3. The antenna selection switches include a first antenna selection switch 2-1, a second antenna selection switch 2-2 and a third antenna selection switch 2-3. The number of the antenna selection switches is more than 3. The transceiver switch 1 is in parallel with multiple antenna selection switches for receiving different response signal. In order to select transceiving directions, the transceiver switch 1 is selected as a two-way control switch, and the antenna selection switches 2 are selected as one-way switches. Access for transmitting signal is different from that for receiving signal; the number of the antenna 3 is at least one.


The transmitting signal frequency transmitted in advanced by the digital signal processing chip to the transmitting phase-locked loop local oscillator is higher or lower than a reference signal frequency. Because a first intermediate signal, generated by the first mixer mixing an intermediate frequency signal generated by the fixed intermediate frequency oscillator and a stable transmitting signal output by the transmitting phase-locked loop local oscillator, has a frequency consistent with the reference signal frequency, it can be ensured that transmitting and receiving are performed at an identical frequency, while resolving a signal interference problem that occurs when the digital signal processing chip transmits the transmitting signal to the transmitting phase-locked loop local oscillator, and owing to a phase-locked loop characteristic and resulting in identical signal frequencies of a transmitting signal and a reference signal during synchronization. Therefore, the invention can increase accuracy of a temperature data measurement.


The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments, but not intended to limit the application. Any modifications, alternatives or improvements made within the principle and spirit of the present application should be interpreted as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
