Description

A Microstrip Bandpass Filter with Sector Open Structure

技术领域technical field

本实用新型属于微波/毫米波器件技术领域，涉及微波/毫米波集成电路，具体涉及一种用于微波/毫米波集成电路中的微带带通滤波器。The utility model belongs to the technical field of microwave/millimeter wave devices, relates to microwave/millimeter wave integrated circuits, in particular to a microstrip bandpass filter used in microwave/millimeter wave integrated circuits.

背景技术Background technique

滤波器具有选频功能，通过需要的频率信号，抑制不需要的频率信号。对于射频收发端系统来说，滤波器更是广泛使用的无源器件之一，它的性能好坏将直接影响到整个系统性能的优劣。随着毫米波技术在无线通讯和雷达系统中应用的不断增多，对电路尺寸小、制作简单的毫米波带通滤波器的需求也日益增加。由于微带在平面制图和制版上的方便，且易于和别的电路集成，所以微带带通滤波器在毫米波频段得到了广泛的应用。The filter has a frequency selection function, passing the required frequency signal and suppressing the unwanted frequency signal. For the RF transceiver system, the filter is one of the widely used passive devices, and its performance will directly affect the performance of the entire system. With the increasing application of millimeter-wave technology in wireless communication and radar systems, the demand for millimeter-wave bandpass filters with small circuit size and simple fabrication is also increasing. Due to the convenience of microstrip in planar drawing and plate making, and easy integration with other circuits, microstrip bandpass filters have been widely used in the millimeter wave frequency band.

常见的微带带通滤波器结构有平行耦合微带线滤波器、发夹型滤波器、交指滤波器和微带类椭圆函数滤波器等，这些结构都是通过耦合线实现的。发夹式、梳状型和交指型等结构对加工工艺要求高，很少在毫米波上使用。传统的平行耦合结构的微带带通滤波器存在下述不足：1、为了改善带外抑制，只有增加滤波器的级数，从而使得滤波器的长度大大增加，不利于在毫米波集成电路中的小型化；2、随着频率增大，为了达到一定的滤波效果，平行耦合滤波器的耦合缝隙可能太小，这样对加工工艺要求高；3、它的输入、输出端不在同一条直线上，使得它在实际工程应用中受到一定的限制。Common microstrip bandpass filter structures include parallel coupled microstrip line filters, hairpin filters, interdigitated filters, and microstrip elliptic function filters, etc., and these structures are realized through coupled lines. Structures such as hairpin, comb, and interdigitated require high processing technology and are rarely used on millimeter waves. The traditional microstrip bandpass filter with parallel coupling structure has the following deficiencies: 1. In order to improve out-of-band rejection, only the number of stages of the filter is increased, so that the length of the filter is greatly increased, which is not conducive to millimeter-wave integrated circuits. 2. As the frequency increases, in order to achieve a certain filtering effect, the coupling gap of the parallel coupling filter may be too small, which requires high processing technology; 3. Its input and output ports are not on the same straight line , making it subject to certain restrictions in practical engineering applications.

This filter has a simple form, a compact structure, and a high degree of out-of-band suppression. It can be used not only in microwave/millimeter wave integrated circuits, but also in submillimeter wave bands with higher frequencies; at the same time, the input and output microstrip lines of this filter are on the same straight line, which is convenient for practical application in engineering.

The main transmission line 1 is composed of a main transmission line input end and a main transmission line output end. The coupled microstrip line 2 is composed of a main microstrip line and an auxiliary microstrip line, wherein the main microstrip line of the coupled microstrip line 2 is divided into two sections: one section of the main microstrip line is connected to the input end of the main transmission line, and the other section of the main microstrip line is connected to the input end of the main transmission line. The microstrip line is connected to the output end of the main transmission line, and a gap is formed between two sections of the main microstrip line. The central line of the main transmission line 1 and the central line of the main microstrip line of the coupled microstrip line 2 are on a straight line. The secondary microstrip line of the coupling microstrip line 2 is parallel to the main microstrip line. The fan-shaped open branch 3 is a quarter-wavelength terminal open line whose terminal is a fan-shaped structure, and the starting ends of the two fan-shaped open branches 3 are vertically connected to the center point of the secondary microstrip line.

图2(a)所示为一段平行耦合微带传输线，可以证明单个耦合微带单元能够等效成如图2(b)所示的一个导纳倒置转换器和接在两边的两段电角度为θ、特性导纳为Y₀的传输线段的组合。Figure 2(a) shows a section of parallel coupled microstrip transmission line, it can be proved that a single coupled microstrip unit can be equivalent to an admittance inversion converter as shown in Figure 2(b) and two sections of electrical angle connected on both sides is the combination of transmission line segments with θ and characteristic admittance Y ₀ .

其中，Z_0e和Z_0o分别表示耦合线段的偶模阻抗和奇模阻抗。所以，将耦合单元看作倒置转换器，且其两端各有一段电长度为θ，特性导纳为Y₀的传输线是可以的。Among them, Z _0e and Z _0o represent the even-mode impedance and odd-mode impedance of the coupled line segment, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to regard the coupling unit as an inverted converter, and each of its two ends has a transmission line with an electrical length of θ and a characteristic admittance of Y ₀ .

其中：in:

${A A}_{11} = = [\begin{matrix} ((J J / / {Y Y}_{00} + + {Y Y}_{00} / / J J)) sin sin θ θ cos cos θ θ,, & j j ((J J {sin sin}^{22} θ θ / / {Y Y}_{00}^{22} - - {cos cos}^{22} θ θ / / J J)) \\ - - jJ jJ {cos cos}^{22} θ θ + + j j {Y Y}_{00}^{22} {sin sin}^{22} θ θ / / J J & ((J J / / {Y Y}_{00} + + {Y Y}_{00} / / J J)) sin sin θ θ cos cos θ θ \end{matrix}],,$

A₁₁＝[(J/Y₀+Y₀/J)sinθcosθ-X(Jsin²θ/Y₀ ²-cos²θ/J)](J/Y₀+Y₀/J)sinθcosθA ₁₁ ＝[(J/Y ₀ +Y ₀ /J)sinθcosθ-X(Jsin ² θ/Y ₀ ² -cos ² θ/J)](J/Y ₀ +Y ₀ /J)sinθcosθ

-(Jsin²θ/Y₀ ²-cos²θ/J)(Y₀ ²sin²θ/J-Jcos²θ)-(Jsin ² θ/Y ₀ ² -cos ² θ/J)(Y ₀ ² sin ² θ/J-Jcos ² θ)

A₁₂＝j(Jsin²θ/Y₀ ²-cos²θ/J)[2(J/Y₀+Y₀/J)sinθcosθ-X(Jsin²θ/Y₀ ²-cos²θ/J)]A ₁₂ ＝j(Jsin ² θ/Y ₀ ² -cos ² θ/J)[2(J/Y ₀ +Y ₀ /J)sinθcosθ-X(Jsin ² θ/Y ₀ ² -cos ² θ/J) ]

A₂₁＝j[Xsinθcosθ(J/Y₀+Y₀/J)+2(Y₀ ²sin²θ/J-Jcos²θ)][sinθcosθ(J/Y₀+Y₀/J)]A ₂₁ ＝j[Xsinθcosθ(J/Y ₀ +Y ₀ /J)+2(Y ₀ ² sin ² θ/J-Jcos ² θ)][sinθcosθ(J/Y ₀ +Y ₀ /J)]

A₂₂＝-[Xsinθcosθ(J/Y₀+Y₀/J)+(Y₀ ²sin²θ/J-Jcos²θ)](Jsin²θ/Y₀ ²-cos²θ/J)A ₂₂ ＝-[Xsinθcosθ(J/Y ₀ +Y ₀ /J)+(Y ₀ ² sin ² θ/J-Jcos ² θ)](Jsin ² θ/Y ₀ ² -cos ² θ/J)

其中，Y₀为传输线的特性导纳，耦合段长度为L＝λ_g/4，θ＝90°，λ_g为带通滤波器的中心频率处的波长。根据所需带宽和通带中心频率，求出的导纳倒置转换器参量J，并且通过计算出奇偶模特性阻抗值，可求得耦合微带线的宽度W以及间距S。通过调整扇形的半径、角度以及支节长度来改变主传输线上对地的传输零点，这些参数由上式中等效并联导纳jX确定。Among them, Y ₀ is the characteristic admittance of the transmission line, the length of the coupling section is L=λ _g /4, θ=90°, and λ _g is the wavelength at the center frequency of the bandpass filter. According to the required bandwidth and the center frequency of the passband, the admittance inversion converter parameter J is obtained, and the width W and the spacing S of the coupled microstrip line can be obtained by calculating the odd-even mode characteristic impedance value. The transmission zero point on the main transmission line to the ground is changed by adjusting the radius, angle and length of the branch. These parameters are determined by the equivalent parallel admittance jX in the above formula.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

设计中心频率为34GHz，对30GHz有很好抑制的具有扇形开路结构的微带带通滤波器。把整个微带带通滤波器结构制作在Rogers公司的聚四氟乙烯介质基片Duriod5880上，基片相对介电常数ε_r＝2.22，基片厚度d＝0.254mm，滤波器电路尺寸为2.3x3.67mm²(不包括50欧姆微带和波导到微带过渡的尺寸)。为了便于装配，扩大了基片的尺寸大小，如图5所示。为了进行测试，在滤波器的两个端口采用了微带到波导的对极鳍线过渡5，把介质基片及电路装配到腔体内，信号通过微带-波导转换5由波导输入输出。扇形开路带通滤波器仿真测试结果如图6所示，扇形开路结构的微带带通滤波器在30GHz处有一个传输零点，对30GHz能够实现很好的抑制，可达32dB，而34GHz的信号则无损耗的通过。The design center frequency is 34GHz, and the microstrip bandpass filter with fan-shaped open circuit structure has good suppression to 30GHz. The entire microstrip bandpass filter structure is fabricated on the PTFE dielectric substrate Duriod5880 of Rogers Company, the substrate relative permittivity ε _r =2.22, the substrate thickness d=0.254mm, and the filter circuit size is 2.3x3 .67mm ² (dimensions not including 50 ohm microstrip and waveguide to microstrip transition). In order to facilitate assembly, the size of the substrate is expanded, as shown in Figure 5. In order to test, the two ports of the filter adopt the microstrip-to-waveguide antipolar fin-line transition 5, assemble the dielectric substrate and the circuit into the cavity, and the signal is input and output from the waveguide through the microstrip-waveguide conversion 5. The simulation test results of the fan-shaped open circuit band-pass filter are shown in Figure 6. The microstrip band-pass filter with the fan-shaped open circuit structure has a transmission zero at 30 GHz, which can achieve a good suppression of 30 GHz, up to 32 dB, while the 34 GHz signal pass without loss.

为了满足工程应用中的需要，通过改变两个扇形支节的半径和角度、耦合微带线的长度和间距可以实现不同的频率响应，我们在仿真中证实了这种结构的滤波器不仅可以在毫米波集成电路中使用，还可以用于频率更高的亚毫米波波段上。在仿真当中，我们还采用了其他一些低介电常数和低损耗正切角的介质基片，比如熔融石英，氟晶云母等，通过选择基片的最佳厚度能达到理想的滤波效果。In order to meet the needs of engineering applications, different frequency responses can be achieved by changing the radius and angle of the two fan-shaped branches, the length and spacing of the coupled microstrip line, and we have verified in the simulation that the filter with this structure can not only be used in It is used in millimeter wave integrated circuits and can also be used in submillimeter wave bands with higher frequencies. In the simulation, we also used some other dielectric substrates with low dielectric constant and low loss tangent angle, such as fused silica, fluorine crystal mica, etc. The ideal filtering effect can be achieved by selecting the optimal thickness of the substrate.
