Definitions
- the present invention relates to a receiver of radiofrequency signals.
- receivers of radiofrequency signals use a complex circuit structure, typically of the superheterodyne type.
- Said receivers comprise a mixer, an oscillator for generating the heterodyne signal and a PLL circuit adapted to stabilize the receiver frequency.
- receivers are often integrated in the onboard computer or located in a more suitable position for receiving signals inside the vehicle and communicating with the onboard computer.
- the data received by the receiver are transmitted to the computer inside the motor vehicle for displaying simple information messages or alert conditions on a dedicated display.
- phase detector adapted to compare two signals at different frequencies and to emit a signal with a phase proportional to the phase difference of the two signals at different frequencies.
- said receivers absorb significant levels of current and actuate a consequent energy dissipation.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a receiver of radiofrequency signals which is circuit-wise simpler than known ones and has a lower current absorption than known ones.
- said object is achieved by a receiver of at least one radiofrequency modulated signal deriving from an antenna external to the receiver, said receiver comprising a first stage for the low noise amplification of the radiofrequency modulated signal and a demodulation stage of the radiofrequency modulated signal, characterized by comprising a SAW filter adapted to act as a pass band filter about a predetermined frequency for the signal deriving from the first stage, a logarithmic amplifier adapted to amplify the signal deriving from the SAW filter, a peak detector of the output signal of the logarithmic amplifier, means adapted to control the gain of the first stage for the amplification of the radiofrequency signal as a function of the output signal of the peak detector, said output signal of the logarithmic amplifier and said output signal of the peak detector being in input to the demodulation stage.
- a SAW filter adapted to act as a pass band filter about a predetermined frequency for the signal deriving from the first stage
- a logarithmic amplifier adapted to amplify
- the receiver is particularly suitable for receiving signals with pulse position modulation (PPM) or with pulse width modulation (PWM).
- PPM pulse position modulation

- FIG. 9 schematically shows a package with the receiver of FIG. 1 and a microcontroller made in a substrate of ceramic material according to a variant of the embodiment of the invention.
- the receiver comprises a preamplifier stage 103 of a radiofrequency signal received by an antenna 101 , a filtering stage 104 , an amplification stage 105 and a signal demodulation stage 106 .
- the signal deriving from antenna 101 is at the input to the low noise preamplifier stage 103 comprising, as better seen in FIG. 2 , a pass band filter 201 tuned to the reception frequency; the filter 201 also has the function of impedance adapter.
- the output signal of filter 201 is transmitted to a circuit block 202 comprising a radiofrequency transistor Q 1 controlled by the output signal to a circuit 203 ; the output signal from transistor Q 1 flows through a low value resistance R, preferably about 100 Ohm, such as to have a constant impedance at the input of the next stage.
- the transistor Q 1 is preferably a common emitter bipolar transistor.
- the circuit block 202 represents a low noise amplifier stage the gain G of which is controlled by the circuit 203 .
- the circuit 203 is controlled by signal Vopeak deriving from a peak detector 402 belonging to receiver 1 .
- Circuit 203 comprises a transistor Q 2 , preferably a common emitter bipolar transistor with the emitter terminal connected to ground GND.
- the base terminal of transistor Q 2 is driven by signal Vopeak filtered by the low pass filter R 70 *C 50 .
- the signal on the collector terminal of transistor Q 2 drives the base terminal of transistor Q 1 and varies the base bias current of the transistor Q 1 for varying, in particular for decreasing, the gain G of transistor Q 1 proportionally to the signal intensity on the antenna; therefore, circuit 203 forms an automatic gain control block.
- the transistor Q 2 acts so as to reduce the gain G of the transistor Q 1 ; the gain G of the bipolar transistor Q 1 is inversely proportional to the amplitude of signal Vopeak.
- the output signal of the stage 103 is at the input of a SAW filter 302 of the stage 104 , better shown in FIG. 3 , which must select the signals in a channel between 300 and 600 kHz, i.e. it must filter the signals in a pass band from 300 to 600 kHz and must ensure a constant group delay time Tg, where the group delay time indicates the variation of the passage time of a signal through the pass band Bsaw of the SAW filter.
- the impedance adapter circuits 301 and 303 arranged at the input and at the output of the SAW filter 302 , are configured for obtaining a constant group delay time Tg on the whole pass band Bsaw of the SAW filter 302 .
- FIG. 4 shows the variation of the band and of the group delay time Tg as a function of the frequency for filter SAW of FIG. 3 .
- the output signal of filter SAW 302 is amplified by a fixed gain amplifier 304 .
- the constancy of the group delay time Tg allows a correct amplification of the rising and falling edges of the radiofrequency modulated signal, such as for example when the modulated signal is a signal with pulse width modulation (PWM) or with pulse position modulation (PPM) where for example the radiofrequency pulses have rising and falling edges in the order of 100 nanoseconds.
- PWM pulse width modulation
- PPM pulse position modulation
- the output signal of amplifier 304 is at the input of a logarithmic amplifier 401 , shown in FIG. 5 , belonging to stage 105 and adapted to amplify the input signal.
- the logarithmic amplifier 401 is a temperature-compensated amplifier and performs a high gain by the series of multiple amplification stages Ai . . . An.
- FIG. 6 shows a diagram of the waveform of the output voltage Vodet as a function of the input signal level In of the logarithmic amplifier 401 at different frequencies.
- the output signal Vodet of the logarithmic amplifier is transmitted to a demodulation stage for demodulating the information.
- the same output signal Vodet of the logarithmic amplifier 401 is transmitted to a peak detector 402 adapted to detect the peaks of the output signals of the logarithmic amplifier 401 .
- the peak detector 402 comprises an operational amplifier 403 having the output signal of the logarithmic amplifier 401 at the non-inverting input terminal, having the output connected with the anode of a diode 404 having the cathode connected with the inverting input terminal and with the terminal of a resistance R 2 having the other terminal connected with the terminal of a capacitor C 1 in turn connected to ground GND; the time constant related to capacitor C 1 has a small value, about one microsecond.
- the voltage Vopeak at the terminals of capacitor C 1 is the output of the peak detector.
- the output signal Vopeak is transmitted to a comparator adapted to carry out the signal demodulation and is used by the circuit 203 for controlling the radiofrequency transistor 202 .
- the resistance R 2 has a low value, preferably 22 Ohm, and serves for stabilizing the circuit operation compensating the signal propagation delays by means of the operational amplifier.
- signals Vodet and Vopeak are transmitted to the demodulation stage 106 for digitally reconstructing the information contained in the received modulated signal, as better shown in FIG. 7 .
- the comparator 501 carries out a demodulation in case of signal modulated with amplitude modulation ASK (Amplitude shift Keying) or also an OOK (On-Off Keying) modulation; the comparator 501 receives the signal Vodet at the non-inverting input thereof, while at the inverting input thereof there is the average value of signal Vodet mediated by a circuit comprising a resistance R 3 connected with a capacitor C 2 in turn connected to ground GND and with the inverting input.
- the output signal of comparator 501 is the signal Infask.
- the output signal Vopeak is transmitted as the signal RSSI.
- the comparator 502 carries out a demodulation in the case of signal modulated with pulse position modulation PPM or with pulse with modulation PWM; the comparator 504 receives the signal Vodet at the non-inverting input thereof, while at the inverting input thereof there is a reference signal derived by the resistive divider consisting of resistances R 4 and R 5 and the signal Vopeak is present across the series of the resistances R 4 and R 5 .
- the values of resistances R 4 and R 5 and of capacitor C 1 determine the decay time constant of the output voltage Vopeak; said time constant, generally of the order of few milliseconds, takes on a major importance if the signals received are affected by sudden amplitude variations, as in the signals used for transmitting the tire pressure.
- the output signal of comparator 502 is the signal Infppm.
- the signals Infask, Infppm and RSSI are the output signals of the demodulation stage 106 and of the receiver 1 .
- the receiver according to the present invention is more suitable in data transmission reception systems arranged in vehicles, preferably motor vehicles.
- the transmitters may be located in various parts of the motor vehicle, for example next to the battery or in the tires for transmitting data on the tire temperature or the tire pressure.
- the receiver is adapted to receive said data and transfer them to a central computer for displaying alarms or messages on a display.
- the signal transmitted starts after a given period of time by the triggering of the oscillations with the generation of a first pulse that represents the beginning of the message and has a width W typically of 3 microseconds.
- Other subsequent pulses are then generated, the temporal positions thereof, i.e. the periods of time between one pulse and the next one, represent the content of the information to be transmitted.
- the receiver according to the invention is particularly suitable for receiving data modulated according to a pulse position modulation.
- a package 600 also called package LTCC
- receiver 1 shown in FIGS. 1-6 is made in a substrate of ceramic material 601 using the LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) technology, as shown in FIG. 8 .
