Background technology
In the microwave engineering, superconducting microstrip resonator can be formed the flat superconducting filter (a kind of passive device) of different rank, use is used for selecting the signal of certain frequency in various microwave devices (as radar, mobile telephone base station, microwave communication device, radio astronomical telescope etc.).At the front end of various microwave receiving systems, often use filter to suppress signal frequency not, the signal frequency that needs is passed through smoothly.High temperature superconduction wave filter is a kind of planar device made from high temperature superconducting materia, it by several planar resonator by certain regularly arranged forming.For the band pass filter of manufacturing with common metal, relative bandwidth just is being narrow band filter below 5% usually.The relative bandwidth of high temperature superconduction wave filter can be worth little a lot than this, also compares difficulty but relative bandwidth is less than 0.5%, and reason is the interference of parasitic couplings.Relevant theory is pointed out: the coupling coefficient between the resonator should satisfy following relationship
M in the formula (1)
IjIt is the coupling coefficient between i resonator and j the resonator; FBW is a relative bandwidth, defines its ratio for passband width and centre frequency; G is a normalization electric capacity; J is a characteristic admittance.This formula shows that coupling coefficient M depends on relative bandwidth, also depends on the character of resonator self.Obviously, be that normalization electric capacity g or characteristic admittance J should be closely related with the geometry of planar resonator self.The coupling of two adjacent resonators generations is called adjacent coupled in filter, and this coupling is necessary.But also have coupling between non-conterminous two resonators, this class coupling might cause adverse effect to Filter Design, and this harmful non-adjacent coupling is exactly parasitic couplings (parasitical coupling).When carrying out the design of broadband flat superconducting filter, the parasitic couplings between the resonant element can be ignored.But the situation of arrowband flat superconducting filter is then different fully, and parasitic couplings has often caused destructive interference, and this contradiction is particularly outstanding when bandwidth is near 0.5%, and desirable solution is seen at the end so far.
Traditional planar resonator mainly contains two kinds of versions, i.e. form of straight lines and hair fastener form.The research of flat superconducting filter has in recent years obtained significant progress, and corresponding planar resonator also develops and a series of other forms.General designer is many from the area that reduces resonator or change purpose such as coupled modes and go out to send the topological structure of determining resonant element, and for example the folding line planar superconducting microstrip resonator (168 pages in 2000 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave TechnologyProceedings collected works) of Birmingham, GBR university design is exactly an example.
