The described embodiments relate to a communication technology, and more particularly, to a full-band radio frequency device based on a frequency band B41, and a communication terminal.
Currently, as for the market is becoming wider and wider, requirements of the frequency band B41 become wider and wider, and the bandwidth of 2555 MHz-2655 MHz (megahertz) is not limited to be used in the Chinese market. In order to make the same product not only to be used in the Chinese market, but also to be used in the frequency band B41 to be met in other regions such as Japan and United States, a design of the full-band B41 (2496 MHz-2690 MHz) is required. In the previous designs, the main part uses the TRX SAW (transmitting and receiving filter) of the full-band B41, and the diversity part is uses the DRX SAW (receiving filter) of the full-band B41. The specific implementation circuit is shown in
The defects of the above-mentioned designs are as the following description. (1) The SAW package of the TRX part supporting the full-band B41 is 2016 size, and the SAW type of the DRX part is 1411 size. Both types are relatively large in size, and the size requirements of the layout are relatively high. With the integration of frequency bands of the projects is higher and higher, it is difficult to make it bigger, to place such a large device while ensuring good performance.
