Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Übergang von einem Hohlleiter auf eine Streifenleitung, wobei die auf einem Substrat verlaufende Streifenleitung durch eine Öffnung in den Hohlleiter hineinragt und eine zu der Streifenleitung gehörende Masseleitung mit der Hohlleiterwandung kontaktiert ist.The present invention relates to a transition from a waveguide to a stripline, wherein extending on a substrate stripline protrudes through an opening in the waveguide and a belonging to the strip line grounding line is contacted with the waveguide wall.
Ein derartiger Übergang von einem Hohlleiter auf eine Streifenleitung ist aus der US 5,202,648 bekannt. Dabei verläuft die Streifenleitung auf der Oberseite des Substrats, und die zugehörige Masseleitung besteht aus einer auf der gegenüberliegenden Substratseite aufgebrachten leitenden Fläche, die mit der Hohlleiterwandung kontaktiert ist. Eine Schwachstelle derartig ausgeführter Übergänge zwischen einem Hohlleiter und einer Streifenleitung ist eine oft zu geringe Reflexionsdämpfung und auch eine zu hohe Durchgangsdämpfung.Such a transition from a waveguide to a stripline is known from US 5,202,648. In this case, the strip line runs on top of the substrate, and the associated ground line consists of a deposited on the opposite side of the substrate conductive surface which is contacted with the waveguide wall. A weak point of such executed transitions between a waveguide and a stripline is often too low reflection attenuation and too high transmission loss.
In EP-A2-0 920 071 (D1) ist ein Übergang von einem Wellenleiter auf eine Streifenleitung beschrieben, der in einem Mehrlagensubstrat ausgebildet ist. Der Übergang kann in ein hermetisch abgeschlossenes Gehäuse eingeschlossen sein, das eine Metallbasis, einen ersten Teil des Mehrlagensubstrats, einen Metallring und eine Metallabdeckung umfasst. Das Mehrlagensubstrat weist wenigstens eine erste und eine zweite dielektrische Schicht auf, zwischen denen eine erste leitende Schicht angeordnet ist. Das Mehrlagensubstrat beinhaltet weiterhin den Wellenleiter. Die Wände des Wellenleiters sind mit einem elektromagnetisch reflektierenden Material beschichtet, so dass sich Signale durch Reflexion durch den Wellenleiter zu der ersten dielektrischen Schicht ausbreiten können. Wenigstens in der ersten dielektrischen Schicht sind Durchkontaktierungen so angeordnet, dass sie einen näherungsweisen Umriss um einen hervorstehenden Bereich der ersten dielektrischen Schicht bilden. Sie bilden so eine Erweiterung des Wellenleiters, die Signale durch die erste dielektrische Schicht führt. Ein Streifenleiter ist auf einem zweiten, von dem ersten getrennten Teil des Mehrlagensubstrats auf der Oberseite der ersten dielektrischen Schicht angeordnet und mit einer T-förmigen Antenne, die über dem Wellenleiter und innerhalb der Wellenleitererweiterung angeordnet ist, verbunden.EP-A2-0 920 071 (D1) describes a transition from a waveguide to a stripline formed in a multilayer substrate. The junction may be enclosed within a hermetically sealed housing that includes a metal base, a first portion of the multi-layer substrate, a metal ring, and a metal cover. The multilayer substrate has at least a first and a second dielectric layer, between which a first conductive layer is arranged. The multi-layer substrate further includes the waveguide. The walls of the waveguide are coated with an electromagnetically reflective material so that signals may propagate through reflection by the waveguide to the first dielectric layer. At least in the first dielectric layer, vias are arranged to form an approximate outline around a protruding portion of the first dielectric layer. They thus form an extension of the waveguide, which carries signals through the first dielectric layer. A stripline is disposed on a second, separate portion of the multilayer substrate from the top of the first dielectric layer and connected to a T-shaped antenna disposed over the waveguide and within the waveguide extension.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Übergang der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der eine möglichst hohe Reflexionsdämpfung und eine möglichst geringe Durchgangsdämpfung aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a transition of the type mentioned, the one Has the highest possible reflection loss and the lowest possible insertion loss.
Gemäß Anspruchs 1 besteht die zu der Streifenleitung gehörende Masseleitung aus mehreren im Substrat übereinander geschichteten Masseflächen, die alle mittels Durchkontaktierungen im Substrat miteinander kontaktiert sind. Die mehrlagige Masseleitung bewirkt eine günstigere Feldkonvertierung von der Streifenleitung auf den Hohlleiter, womit sich für den Übergang eine hohe Reflexionsdämpfung und eine geringe Durchgangsdämpfung einstellt.According to claim 1, the ground line belonging to the strip line consists of a plurality of ground planes stacked in the substrate, all of which are contacted to each other by means of plated-through holes in the substrate. The multi-layer ground line causes a more favorable field conversion of the stripline to the waveguide, which sets a high reflection loss and low transmission loss for the transition.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Dadurch, daß an dem als Antenne wirkenden, in den Hohlleiter hineinragenden Ende der Streifenleitung eine Durchplattierung im Substrat vorgesehen ist, wird der Übergang breitbandiger.The fact that a plated-through in the substrate is provided at the acting as an antenna, projecting into the waveguide end of the strip line, the transition is broadband.
Um eine gute Kontaktierung zwischen der Masseleitung und der Hohlleiterwandung herstellen zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, daß auf dem Substrat zu beiden Seiten neben der Streifenleitung Masseflächen aufgebracht sind und daß diese Masseflächen über Durchkontaktierungen mit den anderen im Substrat übereinander geschichteten Masseflächen kontaktiert sind. Vorteilhafterweise wird das Substrat mit mindestens einer Schraube auf einer Auflage an der Hohlleiterwand fixiert, wobei die Schraube durch die Massefläche hindurchgeführt ist und zwischen diesen und der Auflage einen elektrischen Kontakt herstellt.In order to produce a good contact between the ground line and the waveguide wall, it is expedient that on the substrate on both sides of the strip line ground planes are applied and that these ground surfaces are contacted via vias with the other layered in the substrate ground surfaces. Advantageously, the substrate is fixed with at least one screw on a support on the waveguide wall, wherein the screw is passed through the ground surface and produces an electrical contact between these and the support.
Eine geringe Durchgangsdämpfung erreicht man dadurch, daß die mindestens eine Schraube mit ihrem Kopf auf einer der seitlichen neben der Streifenleitung auf der Substratoberseite aufgebrachten Masseflächen aufliegt und daß zwischen dem Schraubenkopf und der Massenfläche eine leitendes Band eingeklemmt ist, das mit der Hohlleiterwand verbunden ist. Alternativ dazu kann zwischen mindestens einer der beiden seitlich der Streifenleitung befindlichen Masseflächen und einem über die Masseflächen hinausragenden Vorsprung der Hohlleiterwandung mindestens ein leitender elastischer Körper eingesetzt sein. Außerdem kann zwischen dem Kopf der mindestens einen Schraube und dem Vorsprung der Hohlleiterwandung ein leitender elastischer Körper eingepreßt werden.A low transmission loss is achieved by the fact that the at least one screw rests with its head on one of the lateral next to the strip line on the substrate top applied ground surfaces and that between the screw head and the mass surface, a conductive tape is clamped, which is connected to the waveguide wall. Alternatively, at least one conductive elastic body may be inserted between at least one of the two ground faces located laterally of the strip line and a projection of the waveguide wall projecting beyond the ground faces. In addition, between the head of the at least one screw and the projection of the waveguide wall, a conductive elastic body can be pressed.
Anhand mehrerer in der Zeichnung dargestellter Ausführungsbeispiele wird nachfolgend die Erfindung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:
- Figur 1 ein perspektivische Darstellung eines Übergangs von einem Hohlleiter auf eine Streifenleitung,
- Figur 2 einen Längsschnitt A-A durch den Übergang und
Figur 3 einen Querschnitt B-B durch den Übergang.

- Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section AA through the transition and
- Figure 3 shows a cross section BB through the transition.
Wie der perspektivischen Prinzipskizze in Figur 1 zu entnehmen ist, verläuft auf einem Mehrlagen-Substrat 1 (Multi-Layer-Substrate) eine Streifenleitung 2. In einer Seitenwand eines Hohlleiters 3 befindet sich eine Öffnung 4, durch die eine am Substrat 1 befindliche Zunge 5 in den Hohlleiter 3 hineinragt. Das auf der Zunge 5 verlaufende Ende der Streifenleitung 2 wirkt als Antenne 6 zur Ankopplung des Hohlleiterfeldes an die Streifenleitung bzw. umgekehrt.1, a stripline 2 runs on a multilayer substrate 1 (multi-layer substrates). In a side wall of a
Wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 detaillierter dargestellt, sind auf der Substratoberseite neben der Streifenleitung 2 zwei Masseflächen 7 und 8 aufgebracht, und zusätzlich sind innerhalb des Mehrlagen-Substrats mehrere Masseflächen übereinandergeschichtet, die alle das gleiche Massepotential haben. Der in der Figur 3 dargestellte Querschnitt B-B durch den Hohlleiter 3 in das Substrat 1 zeigt die mehrlagigen Masseflächen 9 innerhalb des Substrats 1.As shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, two
Der in der Figur 2 dargestellte Längsschnitt A-A zeigt die beiden symmetrischen Masseflächen 7 und 8 zu beiden Seiten der Streifenleitung 2. Diese Masseflächen 7 und 8 auf der Substratoberseite sind mit den anderen innerhalb des Substrats 1 übereinander geschichteten Masseflächen 9 durch mehrere Durchkontaktierungen 10 elektrisch leitend verbunden. Die orte und Abstände der Durchkontaktierungen 10 sind so gewählt, daß eine Feldausbreitung in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Masseflächen des mehrlagigen Substrats 1 verhindert wird. Denn dadurch könnte die Funktion von in den einzelnen Substratlagen angeordneten Schaltungen gestört werden.The longitudinal section AA shown in Figure 2 shows the two
Die Masseflächen 9 des Substrats 1 ragen vorzugsweise um einige zehntel Millimeter in den Hohlleiter 3 hinein, um die Lagetoleranz des Substrats 1 gegenüber dem Hohlleiter 3 zu erhöhen. Die Feldkonfiguration unter der Streifenleitung 2 im Hohlleiter 3 hängt eng mit der Lage der Masseflächen 9 zusammen. Wird nun die Lage des Substrats 1 leicht verändert, so bleibt aufgrund der Lagetoleranz der Masseflächen 9 das Feld unverändert. Bei einer Betriebsfrequenz von z.B. 10 GHz ist eine Eindringtiefe der Masseflächen 9 in den Hohlleiter 3 von 0,5 - 1,0 mm sinnvoll.The ground surfaces 9 of the substrate 1 preferably protrude into the
Das mehrlagige Substrat 1 bildet eine größere virtuelle Masse, wodurch eine Feldkonfiguration entsteht, die besser in eine Hohlleiterwelle überführt wird. Das Feld wird nämlich durch die größere Ausdehnung der Masse (wegen der vielen übereinandergestapelten Masseflächen) in Richtung der Breitseite des Hohlleiters 3 intensiver in eine Feldkomponente des Grundwellentyps des Hohlleiters geformt.The multilayer substrate 1 forms a larger virtual mass, thereby creating a field configuration that is better converted into a waveguide wave. The field is namely formed by the greater extent of the mass (because of the many stacked mass surfaces) in the direction of the broad side of the
Den Figuren 2 und 3 ist zu entnehmen, daß am Ende der auf der Substrat-Zunge 5 verlaufenden Antenne 6 der Streifenleitung 2 eine Durchplattierung 11 vorgesehen ist. Diese Durchplattierung 11 am Ende der Antenne 6 der Streifenleitung führt zu einer Verbreiterung des Frequenzbandes des Überganges vom Hohlleiter 3 auf die Streifenleitung 2. Durch den dickeren Aufbau des Substrats 1 vergrößert sich auch die Durchkontaktierung 11 am Ende der Antenne 6, was zu einer günstigeren Konversion des Streifenleitungsfeldes in das Hohlleiterfeld beiträgt.FIGS. 2 and 3 show that through-plating 11 is provided at the end of the antenna 6 of the stripline 2 running on the
Das Substrat 1 ist mittels mindestens einer Schraube - in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel in Figur 2 sind es zwei Schrauben 12 und 13 - auf einer unterhalb der Öffnung 4 von der Hohlleiterwandung ausgehenden Auflage 14 fixiert. Dabei liegen die Schrauben 12 und 13 mit ihren Köpfen auf den seitlich neben der Streifenleitung 2 aufgebrachten Masseflächen 7 und 8 auf und stellen somit zwischen den Masseflächen 7 und B und den übereinander geschichteten Masseflächen 9 im Substrat 1 und der Hohlleiterwandung 14 einen elektrischen Kontakt her. Dadurch, daß zusätzlich ein Kontakt zwischen den auf der Oberseite des Substrats 1 aufgebrachten Masseleitungen 7 und 8 und der Hohlleiterwandung hergestellt wird, wird die Durchgangsdämpfung des Überganges verringert. Diese Kontaktierung kann, wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, mittels leitender Bänder 15 und 16 erfolgen, die an einem Ende zwischen den Köpfen der Schrauben 12 und 13 und den leitenden Flächen 7 und 8 und an ihrem anderen Ende in der Trennebene 17 des aus zwei Halbschalen bestehenden Hohlleiters 3 eingeklemmt werden.The substrate 1 is fixed by means of at least one screw - in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, two
Eine andere Variante für die Kontaktierung der Massenflächen 7, 8 und Schrauben 12, 13 mit der Hohlleiterwandung zeigt die Figur 3. Hier weist der Hohlleiter 3 oberhalb seiner Öffnung 4 einen Wandvorsprung 18 auf, der über die Masseflächen 7 und 8 auf der Oberseite des Substrats 1 hinausragt. Zwischen den Masseflächen 7 und 8 auf der Substratoberseite und dem wandvorsprung 18 sind ein oder mehrere leitende elastische Körper 19 eingeklemmt. Auch können zwischen den Köpfen der Schrauben 12 und 13 und dem Wandvorsprung 18 ein oder mehrere leitende elastische Körper 20 eingepreßt werden.Another variant for the contacting of the
