A kind of orthomode transducer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of microwave passive component, relate in particular to a kind of microwave frequency band orthogonal mode transducer.
Background technology
Microwave communication is current one of conventional wireless communication means in the world, be widely used in transfer of data, radio and television transmission,The field such as satellite communication, mobile communication. Orthomode transducer is the outdoor three-port network device of wireless transmission product, is in feedbackIn electric system, realize the device of orthogonally polarized signal duplex transmission (separating with synthetic). Orthomode transducer junction chamber is outer bipolarChange antenna and two outdoor units (ODU), two transceiver channels share an antenna, tool by orthomode transducerThere is the function of polarization separation. The main task of orthomode transducer is to differentiate that on public port, two orthogonal main mould independent signals also willThe basic mode of their supply single signal ports, requires to reach public port coupling and between two independent signals, has higher intersectionPolarization taste.
Although common orthomode transducer generally only shows as three physical ports, in electrical equipment principle, be four port devices.Refer to Fig. 1, it is the equivalent circuit diagram of orthomode transducer. Public port (or claiming main mould port) is positioned at electric port 3,4Place, and electric port one and respectively corresponding two basic modes (TE10 mould and the TE01 mould) port of electric port 2. Public port and feedLoudspeaker join, and are generally square wave guide or circular waveguide, and it provides two electrical equipment ports, distribute to respectively two independently orthogonal modes,All the other two ports are made up of waveguide port or the coaxial port of standard, only transmission basic mode separately.
Orthomode transducer connects antenna and ODU unit, and its existence will inevitably bring loss to increase, and standing-wave ratio is raised, fromAnd the performance of deterioration machine system, so the design of orthomode transducer will make orthomode transducer exactly under assigned work conditionMeet system requirements. Orthomode transducer has the function of polarization separation, in theory, when design, need to ensure orthomode transducerStructurally full symmetric. As shown in Figure 2, two mutually orthogonal polarized signal V, H transmit from top to bottom from circular waveguide,In the bottom of circular waveguide, one adaptation is set, V polarization is divided into two-way V1, V2 respectively to port one and 3 transmission, in like manner HPolarization is also divided into two-way H1, H2 respectively to port 2 and 4 transmission. Obviously, the orthogonal mode of full symmetric conversion in this structureDevice, complex structure, takes up space large, particularly two paths of signals V1, V2(or H1, H2) when synthetic again, need larger skyBetween. As shown in Figure 3, this is also a kind of orthomode transducer that current purposes is comparatively many, and the Fig. 2 that compares has several advantages, knotStructure compactness, take up space little, can entirety process, polarization V and H need not separate and synthesize, but intrinsic shortcoming still exists, thatBe exactly that the axle center of port 2 and the axle center of port 3 must intersect vertically, port 2 about common circle waveguide and axle center (orThe axle center of port 3) full symmetric. For such orthomode transducer symmetrical configuration certainly will will cause when the Project Realization structureSplit complicatedly, or requirement on machining accuracy height can bring cost to increase, thereby is unfavorable for batch production.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of simple and compact for structure, orthomode transducer of being beneficial to batch production.

Detailed description of the invention
Please refer to Fig. 4 ~ Fig. 7, its structural representation that is orthomode transducer of the present invention. This orthomode transducer comprises thisBody 1 and cover plate 2.
On this body 1, be provided with groove 3 and step waveguide group 4, the front end of this groove 3 is positioned at this body 1 edge and forms public affairsPort 31 altogether, this step waveguide group 4 is connected with the end of this groove 3. This groove 3 is in order to the public passage as signal transmission.The section of this groove 3 is square or circular, is square in the present embodiment. This step waveguide group 4 comprises the platform of multiple notch cuttypesRank, the quantity of its step optionally transmitting signal wave band and determine. In the present embodiment, this step waveguide group 4 oneself and this groove3 end junctions sequentially comprise first step, second step, the 3rd step and the 4th step, wherein, and in the present embodiment,This first step and second step are defined as these step waveguide group front end 41, the three steps and the 4th step and are defined as this step and leadRipple group rear end 42. One coupling window 6 is also set on this body 1, and this coupling window 6 is across end and the step ripple of this groove 3Lead the front end 41 of group 4, and run through the bottom of this body 1 downwards.
One power feed hole 5 that runs through this cover plate 2 is set on this cover plate 2. In the time that this cover plate 2 is closely fastened with this body 1, shouldGroove 3 and this step waveguide group 4 form wave-guide cavity wave, and this power feed hole 5 is just right with the end 42 of step waveguide group 4. This groove3 are regular cylinder with this coupling window 6. The intersect vertical axis of the axis of this groove 3 and this coupling window 6. Definition shouldThe plane at the axes intersect place of the axis of groove 3 and this coupling window 6 is symmetrical plane, this groove 3 and this step waveguideGroup 4 forms wave-guide cavity wave about this symmetrical plane symmetry, and this step waveguide group 4 is about this symmetrical plane symmetry; And this feedbackElectricity hole 5 is also about this symmetrical plane symmetry.
Below describe the mode of operation of this orthomode transducer in detail.
First be the separation of polarized signal. The first polarized signal enters this wave-guide cavity wave by public port 31, along groove 3 to platformThe rear end 42 of rank waveguide group 4, and match this power feed hole 5, thus form the first branched bottom; Wherein, this first polarization letterNumber be cut off at these coupling window 6 places, this step waveguide group 4 is for completing the signal between public passage and the first branched bottomCoupling. The second polarized signal enters this wave-guide cavity wave by public port 31, the front end 41 along groove 3 to step waveguide group 4,And match this coupling window 6, thereby form the second branched bottom; Wherein, this second polarized signal is in this step guided wave group 4Rear end 42 be cut off, the signal between public passage and the second branched bottom is by before coupling window 6 and this step waveguide group 4Hold 41 partial couplings and obtain. Above, realized the height isolation transmission of the two-way polarized signal in this wave-guide cavity wave.
Then be polarized signal He road along separate routes, it is by the first branched bottom in orthomode transducer and the second branched bottomGe Yi road polarized signal closes road in public passage. Wherein, the matching effect by this step waveguide group 4 is by the first branched bottomIn the first polarized signal match in public passage and transmit, and the second polarized signal is at the rear end of step waveguide group 4 42 quiltsCut-off. In addition, the matching effect of the front end 41 by this coupling window 6 and step waveguide group 4 is by the second branched bottomTwo polarized signals match in public passage and transmit, and the first polarized signal is in this coupling window 6 places cut-off. It is step rippleLead group 4 for completing the Signal Matching between public passage and the first branched bottom, and between public passage and the second branched bottomSignal be coupled and obtain from the front end 41 of this step waveguide group 4 by coupling window 6.
