Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of filters in the field of wireless communication, in particular to a ceramic waveguide filter.
Background
The ceramic waveguide filter is a frequency selective device which is formed by cascading a plurality of ceramic waveguide resonators by using a specific ceramic material as a carrier. With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the market has increasingly strict requirements on the performance and volume of communication base station equipment. The ceramic waveguide filter has wide application prospect in the future due to the compact volume and relatively high Q value performance. Like other forms of filters, ceramic waveguide filters have difficulties such as complex structure and limited mode in realizing capacitive coupling compared with inductive coupling. The current commonly used implementation schemes mainly include:
(1) multi-ceramic module scheme: a plurality of ceramic resonant blocks are welded in a combined mode, and a specially-shaped coupling window is etched on the combined face to achieve capacitive coupling. The disadvantages are the need for assembly and welding, the cumbersome procedure and the introduction of additional assembly tolerances, which affect product consistency.
(2) Single ceramic module scheme: a deep blind hole is arranged on a coupling part of the ceramic resonant block to reverse the coupling polarity to generate capacitive coupling. The disadvantage is that the processing and electroplating of deep blind holes are difficult.
In view of the above, the prior art is obviously inconvenient and disadvantageous in practical use, and needs to be improved.

Fig. 1 and 2 show the structure of a ceramic waveguide filter according to the present invention, and the ceramic waveguide filter 10 includes a plurality of ceramic waveguide resonators 11, and every two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators 11 are connected and coupled to each other by a coupling bridge 13. The ceramic waveguide resonator 11 is preferably a ceramic cuboid module, which is formed by sintering and grinding, and the coupling bridge 13 is preferably also made of a ceramic material. The ceramic waveguide resonators 11 are connected in pairs and exposed to each other through the coupling connection bridges 13 to form mutual energy coupling between the ceramic waveguide resonators 11, thereby realizing the frequency selective characteristic of the ceramic waveguide filter 10. An inclined through hole 15 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic waveguide filter 10 is formed at the coupling bridge 13 between at least two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators 11, so that capacitive coupling is generated between the two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators 11, thereby realizing the frequency response characteristic of the ceramic waveguide filter 10, as shown in fig. 3.
Preferably, a slanted via hole 15 is formed at the coupling bridge 13 between two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators 11 at the middle of the ceramic waveguide filter 10, as shown in fig. 1 and 2. I.e. the entire ceramic waveguide filter 10 is provided with only one inclined through hole 15. Of course, the ceramic waveguide filter 10 may be provided with a plurality of inclined through holes 15. That is, all or a part of the coupling bridges 13 between two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators 11 are provided with an inclined through hole 15, respectively.
In this embodiment, the ceramic waveguide filter 10 includes six ceramic waveguide resonators 11, which are ceramic dielectric rectangular blocks and are distributed in an array. A sunken blind hole 12 is formed in the center of the upper surface of each ceramic waveguide resonator 11 and used for adjusting the resonant frequency of each ceramic waveguide resonator in design. The ceramic waveguide resonators 11 and the coupling bridges 13 constitute the entire ceramic filter 10. The ceramic waveguide filter 10 is formed by processing a monolithic ceramic material, and the middle part of the ceramic waveguide filter is partially divided by two penetrating cross-shaped dividing grooves 14, so that the ceramic waveguide filter does not need to be assembled and welded, and is easy to process and electroplate.
Preferably, the entire surface of the ceramic waveguide resonator 11 is covered with a conductive coating, and a high-conductivity metal layer such as silver plating or copper plating is generally used to improve the performance.
The ceramic waveguide filter 10 of the present invention can be mixed and cascaded with more ceramic waveguide resonators 11 to form a filter of any order. The ceramic waveguide filter 10 realizes the capacitive coupling of the filter by arranging the inclined through hole 15 at the coupling connecting bridge 13 between the two ceramic waveguide resonators 11, and compared with the existing method for realizing the capacitive coupling by a deep blind hole or an etching coupling window and the like, the invention has the advantages of simple structure, no need of assembly welding, and easy processing and electroplating.
In this embodiment, the tilt axes of the tilt vias 15 are located on the central connecting line of two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators 11, and the tilt axes may be moved in parallel as needed, that is, the tilt axes of the tilt vias 15 are parallel to the central connecting line. It is noted that the farther the tilt axis of the tilt via 15 is from the center line of the ceramic waveguide resonator 11, the smaller the capacitive coupling is generated.
In this embodiment, the inclined through-hole 15 has a circular cross-section to facilitate machining. In fact, the cross section of the inclined through hole 15 may be square, oval, irregular, or the like. Preferably, the inner surface of the inclined through hole 15 is also covered with a conductive plating layer, and a high-conductivity metal layer such as silver plating or copper plating is generally used to improve the performance.
Preferably, the ceramic waveguide filter 10 of the present invention can adjust the magnitude of the capacitive coupling amount by adjusting the width of the coupling bridge 13, the aperture of the inclined through-hole 15, and/or the inclination angle of the inclined through-hole 15.
(1) If the width of the coupling bridge 13 is increased, the amount of capacitive coupling is reduced. As shown in fig. 4, as the width of the coupling bridge 13 increases, the amount of capacitive coupling gradually decreases (a negative value represents that the coupling polarity is capacitive, and an absolute value represents the magnitude of the coupling amount). Thus, different amounts of inductive coupling can be obtained by adjusting the width dimension of the coupling bridges 13.
(2) If the aperture of the inclined through-hole 15 is increased within a predetermined interval range, the amount of capacitive coupling increases. As shown in fig. 5, the amount of capacitive coupling gradually increases as the aperture increases within a predetermined range of intervals. Thus, different amounts of inductive coupling can be obtained by adjusting the aperture of the inclined through-hole 15.
(3) If the inclination angle of the inclined through hole 15 is increased, the capacitive coupling amount is increased. As shown in fig. 6, as the tilt angle increases, the amount of capacitive coupling gradually increases, and the increase is more significant than the former two. Thus, different amounts of inductive coupling can be obtained by adjusting the angle of inclination of the inclined through-hole 15.
In the specific implementation process, the above parameters need to be adjusted comprehensively by combining the actual design size and the engineering implementation difficulty to obtain the required capacitive coupling amount, so as to implement the designed filter frequency response characteristic.
In summary, the ceramic waveguide filter of the present invention includes a plurality of ceramic waveguide resonators, and every two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators are connected to each other through a coupling bridge, so as to realize the frequency selection characteristic of the ceramic filter. An inclined through hole penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface of the ceramic waveguide filter is arranged at a coupling connection bridge between two adjacent ceramic waveguide resonators to generate required capacitive coupling, so that the frequency response characteristic of the ceramic filter is realized. Preferably, the present invention can adjust the magnitude of the capacitive coupling amount by adjusting the width of the coupling bridge, the aperture of the inclined through-hole and/or the inclination angle of the inclined through-hole. Therefore, compared with the existing method for realizing capacitive coupling of the deep blind hole or the snake-shaped window and the like, the ceramic waveguide filter has the advantages of simple structure, no need of assembly welding, and easiness in processing and electroplating.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
