Description of the invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a communication module, and more particularly to a communication module having a dual system and a method for defining an operation mode thereof. [Prior Art] ^ The wireless communication technology has matured, and the application range of wireless networks has extended to mobile phones, digital cameras, digital video players, games and game consoles and other consumer electronic products. At present, the demand for electronic products equipped with 4 communication functions continues to rise. The λ-breaking wireless communication function is generally supported by three functional blocks: the radio frequency responsible for transmitting and receiving signals, the secondary frequency and modulation, the intermediate frequency and the fundamental frequency responsible for data processing and storage. At this stage, there are two technologies, such as single-chip (Soc) and system-in-package (Sip), which can package the wireless signal processing mechanism of the standard into a single component, which not only reduces the power consumption and board area. It also has the advantage of simplifying the design complexity of the device, which helps the back-end products to shorten the development time. Among the above two technologies, the system single-chip technology needs to face a lot of problems, such as wisdom, design, verification, process packaging and testing, and the system-packaged communication module has a flexible process, which is easy to meet the needs of customization. . Through the development of the module, the module is moving towards multi-functional integration, and multiple communication systems are integrated into the single-module system. For example, a wireless local area network (J WIAN) and a wireless personal network (WPAN, for example, Bluetooth Bluet〇〇th) dual system can simultaneously support the connection between the information device and the device and the Internet. In the case of the design side of the device, the dual wireless communication function can use one or two independent antennas to send and receive two types of wireless signals. Since the two signal transmission paths are different, they must pass through different lines and The dual-system communication module with 'this' is generally a module product that provides i-mode S and internal lines to match the usage of the client. In addition to the front-end antenna usage mode, the module's transmission interface type 'Pulse frequency is also determined based on customer demand. Therefore, the production must produce a variety of modular products of different specifications to meet the client's design. #总ί The communication module is responsible for the manufacturing and marketing of the producers. For the back-end operators, the modules can only be fixed, ° and 11 loose, and they are quite inelastic. In view of this, the inventor of the present invention has proposed the present case to improve the lack of the prior art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to provide a dual system communication module and/or operation mode ambiguity method, which is composed of an internal path distribution circuit and an external circuit to form a duplex antenna circuit or When the independent antenna circuit can control the transmission of the RF signal along a predetermined path, the same communication module can be applied to different operation modes, thereby reducing the burden of manufacturing control and increasing the flexibility of the application design. Revealing a dual-system communication module that is suitable for interfacing with an external circuit to cope with processing - the first - RF signal and the second RF signal - where the external circuit is a dual-antenna circuit or is independent Antenna circuit. The dual system communication module includes a first setting unit and a path allocating circuit. The first setting unit is coupled to the external circuit to transmit the first shot 3: radio frequency signal. The path distribution circuit is coupled to the first system path and the second system n field inside the first-set green road. The p-circuit is a duplex antenna circuit or an independent antenna. The electric-system field 2 control circuit controls the first-axis number to transmit between the first-set and the third-order: and control the second RF signal in the first setting.埠一, 弗一糸 system control between transmission. The module wireless device has the dual system communication independent fa邛 circuit, and the wireless device includes a duplex antenna or a second second H-channel dual-system communication module for transmitting and receiving the first-frequency signal and the The definition method of the tilting method includes the following steps: First, # # 作 疋 方法 方法 方法 方法 方法 方法 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The antenna circuit is either an independent day or a table circuit to determine the dual-mode operation mode. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Explain it. Heart [Implementation] First of all, please refer to the first, _, -闽_ ^ ^· her β, the last two pictures 'The two pictures are the same as the printing and printing, and one of the first communication modules is ^ every _ The version of the version is only intended to be a package that is not intended to be a front view, a side view, or a pin layout. The dual system communication module iq is used for the wireless communication 03 line communication function. Through the internal integration of the body coffee = and the line 'to achieve the frequency synthesis of the RF signal; material; 1 virtual management Γί, ! codec, frequency hopping and packet processing and other major wireless signals. As shown in the brother-, second, and third figures, the dual-system communication module κ can be permeable (_dlng) or metal-shielded. In the illustration, the dual-system communication module has a 64-pin package. In actual application, the SMT process can be used on the circuit board to work with the antenna, peripheral circuits and back-end application module temples. Achieve the function of the device. The top view of the pin layout shown in the third figure, wherein the size, length or width and the number of the (4) are for possible implementation, and the values indicated in the third figure are in millimeters (mm). However, the third, ^ (4) is for the purpose of this (four) description, and therefore does not limit the scope of the invention's scope of protection. The invention spirit disclosed in this case can still be equally changed. As shown in the figure, the dual system communication module 1 () has the operation functions of the - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In a specific embodiment, the first communication system 101 and the second communication system 102 are respectively a wireless local area network (WLAN) system and a wireless personal network (wpan, for example, Bluetooth) system to support the devices, and The connection between the device and the network. The main difference between the present invention and the existing module product is that the dual system communication module 10 can be elastically coupled to the duplex antenna circuit or the independent antenna circuit by using the same internal circuit structure, using a single duplex antenna or two independent antennas. To send and receive wireless signals, existing module products must match the two antenna circuits with different internal circuit architectures. 1360303 / Please refer to the fourth and fifth figures, which are the two-system, unified tfi module - the system architecture diagram of the specific embodiment of the invention, the fourth and fifth, the dual system communication The modules 10 are respectively disposed in the wireless device 4, and the switches are operated in the duplex antenna mode and the independent antenna mode. The dual-system communication module 10 has a first setting 埠110 for transmitting the first RF signal TRX1 and the second RF signal TRX2, and is coupled to the external circuit 41〇' 430 of the first setting 璋110. The dual system communication module 10 can be set to operate in a duplex antenna mode, or operate in an independent antenna mode. Lu Two different specifications of the signal must be processed through their respective systems. As shown in the figure, the first RF signal TRX1 read into the dual system communication module 10 is transmitted along the first system path E1 to the first communication system 101 (shown in the first figure), and the second RF signal TRX2 is along the line. The second system path E2 is transmitted to the second communication system 102 (shown in the first figure). In the duplex antenna mode and the independent antenna mode, the first RF signal TRX1 and the second RF signal TRX2 must be transmitted along the path to the first communication system and the second communication system 102, respectively. The dual system communication module 1 has a path distribution circuit Φ connected between the first setting 埠110 and the first system path E1 and the second system path B2 to control the RF signals TRX1 and TRX2 to follow the above path. In this embodiment, the first setting 埠110 includes three pins, which are a pin P2, a pin P5, and a pin P8. The path distribution circuit ln includes an RF signal distribution circuit 113 and a coupling circuit component 1150. The RF signal distribution circuit 113 is coupled to the pin of the first setting port 110; P.2 and the first system path E1 and the second system path E2. The coupling circuit component 115 is coupled between the pins P5 and P8 of the first setting unit 110, the RF signal distribution circuit U3, and the second system path E2. The RF signal distribution circuit 113 = the first-radio signal TRX1 and the second-signal TRX2 are combined and can be shared with the external circuit 430; f = = path 115 (shown in the fifth figure). In the legend, the combination of 丄:: frequency signal distribution, the other end _ connection: the path between the two towns Ε2, the inductance L1 minus the foot creep is reduced to the inductance L2 and _ signal points the road li3 wheel path. In the following, the action modes of the two modes in the legend will be detailed. The dual-system communication module 1〇 application is the fourth figure, and the scale needs to be set to the external circuit of the first setting, = = the antenna circuit, included in The duplex antenna of pin p2: 唼P5, P8 is empty. And the first radio frequency signal TRX1 and the second beating signal ΤίΟα fed by the duplex antenna 31 are spoofed by the pure circuit m妓, so that the frequency signal TRX1 is transmitted to the first system path m, and the second shot is transmitted. Turning to the second system path E2; and reversing, the first RF signal TRX transmitted by the first system 杈耵1 and the second RF signal TRX2 of the second system path Ε2 are coupled via the RF signal distribution circuit 113. The two signals are transmitted along the same path to the duplex antenna 3丨. As shown in Fig. =, the first RF signal TRX1 is transmitted along path A, and the second sharp TRX2 is transmitted along path b. The RF signal distribution circuit 113 can be coupled to the high frequency signals of the two communication systems. The related circuit architecture is a conventional technique, and there are various embodiments, and thus will not be described herein. When the dual-system communication module 10 is applied as the independent antenna module of the fifth figure, the external circuit 430 coupled to the first setting unit 110 is formed into two 1360303 independent antenna circuits, including a first coupling coupled to the pin p2.
