In each pin field unit, a group of vertical arrays 54 (for example, three vertical rows of four pins) are sequentially arranged from one side edge of the pin field annular array 51 inwards along the parallel direction (or vertical direction) of the Y axis. The end of the vertical row array 54 is further periodically arranged by pins 50 to form the crisscross array, for example, 9 pins for each of three vertical rows and 9 pins for each of three horizontal rows form the crisscross array.

The larger the diameter of the tuning screw 14, the greater the length that extends into the resonant cavity, and the lower the resonant frequency.
The order of assembly of the filter of this embodiment is:
Firstly, the periodic pin arranging wall 5 is pressed into the pin arranging seat 4 to form a complete pin arranging whole, and then the pin arranging whole, the grounding feed probe 61, the coupling reinforcing block 62, the PCB symmetrical probe 7 and the resonant column 8 are welded into the PCB grounding plate 2 through the processes of reflow soldering and the like, so that the core part of the filter structure is formed; at the same time, the input/output connector 12 is soldered into the input/output PCB 11 by a reflow soldering process or the like to form an input/output PCB whole, and then the PCB 11 whole is assembled into the metal cover plate 9 together with the debugging screw 14, the metal gasket 15, the fastening nut 16 and the like to form a cover plate whole; finally, the core part and the cover plate of the filter structure are integrally fastened together in contact with the outer cavity 3 through the fastening screw 1, the fastening screw 10 and the fastening screw 14, and the input/output PCB 11 and the ground feed probe 61 in the core part of the filter structure are soldered together (as shown in fig. 6), thereby completely constituting the entire filter structure.
The filter structure of the present invention actually includes two identical filters 101, namely, a first filter and a second filter, each having four single resonators 18 therein, as shown in fig. 2.
The implementation principle of the filter is as follows:
Referring again to fig. 5, the periodic pin header 5 is first soldered with the PCB ground plane 2 of the RF 4. In theory, periodic pin header 5 forms an artificial magnetic conductor surface (AMC) 103 in the top view of the front side (i.e., the top of the pin header structure), while an artificial electromagnetic soft surface (electromagnetic soft surface) 104 is formed on the pin header side. Wherein with respect to the artificial magnetic conductor surface (ARTIFICIAL MAGNETIC Conduct, AMC): the ideal magnetic conductor surface has high impedance and zero reflection phase. Since an ideal magnetic conductor does not exist in nature, a conductor surface that achieves high impedance and zero reflection phase characteristics similar to a surface by artificially modulating a metamaterial structure is called an artificial magnetic conductor surface.
Artificial electromagnetic soft surface: the electromagnetic soft surface is one of metamaterials, and has two characteristics, namely, the incident reflection phase of the plane wave with TE polarization is zero, and the incident reflection phase of the plane wave with TM polarization is 180 degrees; the other is electromagnetic wave energy propagation in a specific polarization direction that can block its surface. These two characteristics may be referred to as a reflection phase bandgap characteristic and a surface wave bandgap characteristic, respectively. Electromagnetic soft surfaces are also not present in nature, but can be achieved by modulating artificial metamaterials and are therefore also artificial electromagnetic soft surfaces.
When the height of the outer cavity 3 is higher than the height between the top of the pin-array wall 5 and the PCB grounding plate 2 and is not more than one fourth of the working wavelength, at this time, the metal cover plate 9 is fastened to the outer cavity 3, and as an air or medium gap with the thickness of not more than one fourth of the wavelength is left between the metal cover plate 9 and the pin-array wall 5, a band gap structure 102 (shown in fig. 4-5) is formed, the band gap structure 102 forms an electromagnetic band gap with enough broadband for electromagnetic waves, and electromagnetic waves with various polarization directions cannot be transmitted in the gap within the bandwidth range of the band gap, namely, the electromagnetic waves are completely cut off in the gap; in addition, due to the artificial electromagnetic soft surface 104 formed on the side of the pin header, the electromagnetic soft surface has a characteristic of blocking the propagation of electromagnetic waves in all polarization directions, so that the electromagnetic waves cannot penetrate the side of the pin header. Thus, electromagnetic waves can only be reflected back into and be trapped in the cavity portion enclosed by the pin header, either in the gap at the top of the pin header or at the sides of the pin header. When the size of the metal resonant pillars 8 in each single cavity 18 (as the box enclosed by the dashed lines in fig. 2) in the cavity is adjusted to a suitable size according to the specific resonant frequency of the resonant cavity, the single cavity 18 enclosed by the pin header 5, the PCB ground plane 2 and the metal cover plate 9 resonates at the operating frequency to form a resonant cavity. The energy is transferred between the resonant cavities through the coupling device, the coupling enhancing block 62 plays a role of enhancing the energy coupling between the resonant cavities, and the input-output grounding feed probe 61 transmits the signals of the first resonant cavity 18 and the last resonant cavity 18 to the connector 12 of the input-output PCB in a capacitive coupling mode, and the connector 12 is connected with the outside, so that a complete filter structure is formed. The coupling means here refers to a coupling enhancement block 62, the coupling between the cavities of the cavity filter is typically magnetic, and the introduction of a grounded metal coupling enhancement block 62 can enhance the magnetic field amplitude at the coupling location, thereby enhancing the coupling between the cavities.
In the filter, when a useful signal is in the passband of the filter, the signal can pass through the filter unimpeded, while on a frequency band far away from the resonance frequency, energy is greatly attenuated by the filter and cannot pass through the filter, which is also the reason that the filter can effectively filter out-of-band clutter.
Fig. 11 shows a cell bandgap simulation of a periodic pin 50, ground plate 2 and cover plate 9. The curve in the figure shows that the forbidden band is formed at 4-7GHz, so that the requirement that the filter works at 5-6GHz WIFI frequency band can be met, and most electromagnetic energy is bound in the cavity from electromagnetic energy in the single cavity in the right figure, and little energy can be radiated outwards through the periodic pin 50, the grounding plate 2 and the cover plate 9.
Fig. 12 is a graph of WIFI 36 channel filter results based on an array process design. The curve is an input-output response curve of the filter, and reflects the conditions of insertion loss, out-of-band rejection and return loss of the filter. Wherein the peak-up curve reflects insertion loss and out-of-band rejection, and the peak-down curve is the return loss curve. The invention realizes the WIFI filter with good performance, wherein the insertion loss is smaller than 1.3dB, the out-of-band rejection of 5.3-5.8GHz is smaller than 43dB, and the return loss is smaller than 20 dB.
It will be appreciated that in the above embodiments, the number and arrangement of the pins may be adjusted, and accordingly, the metallized vias 20 on the PCB ground plane and the corresponding vias on the pin header may be adjusted accordingly. The number and shape of the pins of each element can be properly adjusted. The number, structure and arrangement of the feed probes, the coupling reinforcing blocks, the symmetrical probes, the resonant columns, the input/output connectors and/or the debugging screws can be adjusted according to the requirement of the specific filter filtering performance.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
