本申请实施例采用光电池代替普通光电二极管作为可见光的探测器,当LED可见光信号照射后,光电池会产生不断变化的直流电压,可以将它看做一个恒定的直流电压与一个交流电压的叠加,这部分恒定的直流电压经过电路处理就可以提供接收机需要的电源电压,得到一种新型的无源光电标签。
实际应用中,光电池可以包括:太阳能电池,例如,可以使用10mm×10mm×2mm的砷化镓太阳能电池,或者30mm×30mm×5mm的单晶硅太阳能电池。
在本申请实施例一实施方式中,如图2所示,业务分离单元102,具体包括:
用于隔离直流信号取出交流信号的第一电容C1,以及与第一电容C1
并连的用于分离出直流电压的低通滤波器。
在本申请实施例一实施方式中,低通滤波器包括:电感L1和第二电容C2,其中,
电感L1的一端连接光电池101,另一端连接第二电容C2及收发机单元102,第二电容C2的另一端接地。
具体的,业务分离单元102包括两个支路,一条支路为第一电容C1,它可以隔离直流信号,将交流信号取出送到收发机单元103进行处理;另一条支路包括由LC形成的低通滤波器,低通滤波器中,第二电容C2两端电压为直流电压,而频率较大的交流信号由电感L1阻断,对第二电容C2两端电压几乎没有影响,最后将第二电容C2两端的电压输入到收发机单元102,为其供电。
第二电容C2可以使用电容值最大的贴片电容。
在本申请实施例一实施方式中,如图2所示,收发机单元103具体包括:
电源管理模块1031,连接业务分离单元102的直流电压输出端,配置为处理直流电信号,得到稳定的电压源,为其它模块提供电源电压;
接收机模块1032,连接业务分离单元102的交流信号输出端,配置为处理交流信号,得到数字信号;
数字电路模块1033,连接接收机模块1032,配置为对数字信号进行编解码处理和数据控制,并生成要发送的信号;
振荡器模块1034,连接数字电路模块1033,配置为产生时钟振荡信号;
LED驱动电路模块1035,连接数字电路模块1033,配置为将要发送的信号转变为光信号,并驱动LED发射单元104发送该光信号。
在本申请实施例一实施方式中,电源管理模块1031包括稳压器,稳压器包括带隙基准、启动电路、误差放大器,作用是将收到的直流电信号处
理后得到稳定的电压源,为其他模块提供电源电压。一个具有好的稳定性、高电源抑制(PSR)、好的线性调整率与负载调整率以及低温度系数的电源管理,可以保证接收机的稳定工作;由于采用无源结构,在满足基本性能指标的同时,要尽量减小功耗。
接收机模块1032主要包括均衡电路、限幅放大电路、比较器电路,将输入的交流信号进行限幅放大,然后用比较器对信号进行处理,取出数字信号,供数字电路进一步的处理,设计中同样要注意电路低功耗的实现。
数字电路模块1033主要包括解码器单元、数字基带、存储器、编码器单元,主要作用是对接收机模块取出的数字信号进行编解码处理和数据控制,同时产生返回给读写器的信号。基于合理的通信协议的数字电路模块会具有更强的抗干扰性能和更低的误码率。
振荡器模块1034的作用是产生时钟振荡信号供数字电路工作使用,可以采用环形振荡结构或者弛豫型振荡结构。振荡频率的稳定性是振荡器模块最主要的参数,一个好的振荡器的振荡频率受电压、温度、工艺的影响较小,可以保证数字电路工作的精确性。
LED驱动电路模块1035采用数字电路模块返回给读写器的信号来驱动LED发射单元104,实现LED发射单元104的正常工作。由于LED驱动电路模块占整体功耗的比重最大,因此LED驱动电路模块低功耗的实现是整体标签低功耗实现的关键。
LED发射单元104以光信号的形式将信号返回给读写器,完成光信号的通信。为了将LED放入驱动电路进行仿真,需要将LED进行建模,将它的spice模型或veriloga模型放入电路进行仿真。
作为优选实施例,光电池可以采用外置的太阳能电池,太阳能电池可以有效地吸收可见光,并将光信号转换为电信号,产生变化的直流电压,通过业务分离单元的无源电路网络分离出直流电信号和交流电信号,分别
供给电源管理模块和接收机模块,实现接收光信号的功能。太阳能电池可由单晶硅、多晶硅、砷化镓等材料制作而成,综合考虑整体结构的体积、成本,以及转换光能的效率,太阳能电池在满足为接收机稳定供电的前提下,可以折衷选取满足需求的太阳能电池,例如:10mm×10mm×2mm的砷化镓太阳能电池,30mm×30mm×5mm的单晶硅太阳能电池等。需要特别指出的是,太阳能电池的体积占整体无源光电标签体积的比重最大,限制着标签的体积。而且光电池的大小以及其转换光能的效率也限制着它能够提供给标签内部电路的能量多少,也影响了整体光电标签的工作距离,因此本领域技术人员在进行光电池的选择时,可以根据多方面因素进行考虑。
本申请实施例中,业务分离单元102如图2中所示,其作用是将太阳能电池产生的变化的电压分离为直流电信号和交流电信号。具体实施如下:依据可见光通信需要的数据传输速率,选取合适的电容C1使交流电压信号可以几乎无衰减的进入到接收机;L1与C2组成低通滤波器,其作用在于取出直流电压信号供给电源管理模块,电感L1可以选取较大值,在频率较高时具有很大的阻抗,阻断交流电信号加在C2两端,电容C2选取大于设定值的贴片电容,一方面可以减弱交流信号的影响,另一方面可以储存大量的电荷,保证在可见光信号受到突然干扰而变化时仍可以提供较稳定的电压。
图2中的接收机模块1032可以采用传统可见光通信中的光接收机结构,从微弱的电信号中取出数字信号输入数字电路模块。
图2中的电源管理模块1031、数字电路模块1033、振荡器模块1034可按照传统的RFID无源标签内对应模块的电路结构进行设计,实现对应模块的功能。
图2中的LED驱动电路模块1035可以采用简单的串联结构,通过数
字电路模块返回给读写器的信号来驱动LED。作为优选实例,由于LED本身具有较大的结电容,因此可以在LED驱动电路上加入LED的释电回路,以此增加电路的工作带宽。另外,考虑到要尽量减小泄漏干扰,图1中的LED的波长与读写器可见光LED波长之间应距离足够远,实现波分隔离。作为一种优选实例,读写器的LED可选用可见光发射,而光电标签中的LED也可选用与读写器LED不同波长的光发射即可。
在本申请实施例一实施方式中,LED发射单元的波长与读写器可见光LED波长之间的距离可以大于设定值。LED发射单元可以使用与读写器LED不同波长的可见光发射。
数字电路模块1033的结构示意图如图3所示,主要包括编码器、解码器、数字基带电路以及存储器。接收机取出的数字信号进入解码器进行解码,解码后的信号经过数字基带电路处理并与存储器进行数据交流,得到需要返回读写器的数字信号。需要返回的数字信号经编码器编码,LED驱动电路将此信号转换为光信号返回到读写器。
此外,无源光电标签和读写器的光通信图如图4所示。当读写器的LED发射携带信息的可见光后,标签内的光电池一方面进行充电,另一方面将携带信息的光信号转变为电信号。当充电能量满足标签内部电路的功耗需求时,电路正常工作,将数字信号取出并处理,返回的数据经LED及其驱动电路变为携带信息的光信号。返回的光信号由读写器的光电探测器(PD)接收并进行下一步的处理。此处可以看出,若无源光电标签中LED发射光谱的峰值与读写器中PD接收光谱灵敏度的峰值对应相同的波长范围,就相当于提高了能源的利用率,这样有利于减小LED驱动电路的功耗,整体光电标签的功耗也会随之减少。
通过光电池来接收可见光信号,光电池的光接收探测能力不仅可以实现信号的的有效接收探测,而且光电池通过光能到电能的转换可以提供光
电标签工作的电源电压,形成了非接触式的新型无源光电标签。与现有的光电标签相比,新型无源光电标签成本较低,体积较小,具备更长的使用寿命,而且克服了无源射频标签电磁辐射大,对人体有害的缺点。
本说明书中的各个实施例均采用递进的方式描述,各个实施例之间相同相似的部分互相参见即可,每个实施例重点说明的都是其与其他实施例的不同之处。尤其对于装置实施例而言,由于其基本相似与方法实施例,所以,描述的比较简单,相关之处参见方法实施例的部分说明即可。
虽然通过实施例描述了本申请,本领域的技术人员知道,本申请有许多变形和变化而不脱离本申请的精神和范围。这样,倘若本申请的这些修改和变型属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本申请也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
本申请实施例提供的无源光电标签,包括用于接收光信号的光电池,用于将光电池接收到的光信号分成直流电压和交流信号的业务分离单元,用于在直流电压的供电下对交流信号中的光信号进行光电转换处理及电信号处理,并生成要发送的信号的收发机单元,以及用于通过光信号的形式发送要发送的信号的LED发射单元,该无源光电标签通过光电池实现供电和信号接收,不需要电源供电,减小了光电标签成本和体积,延长了光电标签的使用寿命。
