It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the waveguide transmission hole 101 is circular, and therefore, the rear side opening of the waveguide transmission hole 101 is also circular along the circular waveguide opening 103, and the circular waveguide opening 103 can be used for connecting with the microwave frequency converter to be tested so as to output the circular waveguide measurement signal to the microwave frequency converter. The two waveguide steps 110 are symmetrically disposed on the upper and lower walls of the waveguide transmission hole 101, wherein the waveguide step 110 located on the upper side extends downward, and the waveguide step 110 located on the lower side extends upward. The 1 st step 111 of the waveguide step 110 is arranged close to the front side port edge of the waveguide transmission hole 101, the lower side surface of the 1 st step 111 of the waveguide step 110 relatively positioned on the upper side, the upper side surface of the 1 st step 111 of the waveguide step 110 relatively positioned on the lower side and the front side port edge of the waveguide transmission hole 101 jointly enclose to form an annular runway-shaped rectangular waveguide port 102, and the rectangular waveguide port 102 can be used for being connected with a signal source so as to transmit a test signal to a microwave frequency converter through a signal transmission waveguide. When a test signal is input into the rectangular waveguide port 102 through a signal source, the test signal is a rectangular waveguide, and the measurement signal is gradually converted into a circular waveguide measurement signal through two symmetrically arranged step structures in the process of being transmitted from the rectangular waveguide port 102 to the circular waveguide port 103 along the signal transmission waveguide, and is transmitted to the microwave frequency converter to be tested from the circular waveguide port 103.

Based on two oppositely arranged and symmetrically arranged stepped structures, on one hand, the impedance of the waveguide can be gradually changed in the process of transmitting a measuring signal from the rectangular waveguide port 102 to the circular waveguide port 103, so that impedance matching is realized at the front end and the rear end of the signal transmission waveguide, the phenomena of reflection, ringing, ground bounce, crosstalk and the like of the measuring signal in the transmission process can be effectively avoided, the attenuation condition of the measuring signal can be effectively reduced, the integrity of the measuring signal is improved, and the accuracy of the test data of the microwave frequency converter is further improved; on the other hand, the two stepped structures are symmetrically arranged on the hole wall of the waveguide transmission hole 101, the waveguide transmission hole 101 reserves a large adjustment space for size adjustment of the stepped structures, and the signal transmission waveguide can be compatible with transmission of measurement signals of a high frequency band and a low frequency band by adjusting the size of the stepped structures, so that the signal transmission waveguide can be suitable for testing of a microwave frequency converter of a full frequency band (the working frequency band is 10.7-12.75 GHz), and can also be suitable for testing of a microwave frequency converter of a single frequency band (the working frequency band is 12.2-12.75 GHz, 11.7-12.75 GHz or 10.7-11.7 GHz, and the like), so that the frequency division band of the microwave frequency converter is not required to be tested, the operation difficulty of the test of the microwave frequency converter can be reduced to a certain extent, the test operation process of the microwave frequency converter is simplified, and the accuracy of test data of the microwave frequency converter can be further improved.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5-6, in the present embodiment, the lengths of the 1 st step 111 and the 2 nd step 112 … … in the mth step decrease in the left-right direction. It should be noted that, by sequentially decreasing the lengths of the 1 st step 111 and the 2 nd step 112 … … M in the left-right direction, on one hand, the size of the space enclosed by the two M-th steps and the hole wall of the waveguide transmission hole 101 can be gradually increased from front to back, so that the mode of the measurement signal can be gradually changed, and the measurement signal can be changed and transmitted under the conditions of small reflection and little attenuation; on the other hand, as the size of the 1 st step 111 and the 2 nd step 112 … … M in the left-right direction becomes smaller, the interruption susceptance generated at the discontinuity of the waveguide by the test signal can be offset and corrected by using the hole wall of the waveguide transmission hole 101 and the size change of the 1 st step 111 and the 2 nd step 112 … … M in the left-right direction, so that the phenomena of reflection, ringing, ground bounce, crosstalk and the like of the test signal in the transmission process can be further reduced, the attenuation condition of the test signal can be further reduced, the integrity of the test signal is improved, and the accuracy of the test data of the microwave frequency converter can be further improved.
Referring to fig. 1 and 5-6, in the present embodiment, the length of the 1 st step 111 in the left-right direction is smaller than the radial dimension of the waveguide transmission hole 101. It should be noted here that, by setting the length of the 1 st step 111 in the left-right direction to be smaller than the radial dimension of the waveguide transmission hole 101, the length of the 1 st step 111 and the 2 nd step 112 … … in the left-right direction to be smaller than the radial dimension of the waveguide transmission hole 101, on the basis, on one hand, a space for the measurement signal to be transmitted can be reserved, that is, a sufficient space is reserved between the two mth steps and the hole wall of the waveguide transmission hole 101, so that while effective and small attenuation transmission of the test signal is ensured, transformation of the measurement signal is effectively realized through a step structure, and impedance matching is realized at the front end and the rear end of the signal transmission waveguide; on the other hand, the smooth hole wall of the waveguide transmission hole 101 and the two mth steps together enclose a space for transmission and transformation of the measurement signal, so that the reflection phenomenon of the measurement signal during transmission in the signal transmission waveguide can be further reduced, the attenuation condition of the measurement signal can be further reduced, the integrity of the measurement signal is improved, and the accuracy of the test data of the microwave frequency converter is further improved.
Referring to fig. 2-4, in the present embodiment, M is 5.

Referring to fig. 3-4 and 6, in the present embodiment, the rectangular waveguide port 102 and the circular waveguide port 103 are spaced apart by a distance of 44.00 mm. It should be noted that, when the distance between the rectangular waveguide port 102 and the circular waveguide port 103 is smaller than 44.00mm, the size of the signal transmission waveguide is small, which is not favorable for accurately ensuring the impedance matching degree between the front end and the rear end of the signal transmission waveguide, i.e. for ensuring the integrity of the measurement signal; on the other hand, the processing difficulty of the signal transmission waveguide is greatly increased, the structural strength is reduced, and the performance ratio of the signal transmission waveguide is reduced to a certain extent. When the distance between the rectangular waveguide port 102 and the circular waveguide port 103 is greater than 44.00mm, the size of the signal transmission waveguide is relatively long, which increases the risk of loss of the measurement signal during transmission to some extent. Therefore, by setting the distance between the rectangular waveguide port 102 and the circular waveguide port 103 to 44.00mm, smooth transmission and conversion of the measurement signal can be ensured on the basis of ensuring the impedance matching degree between the front end and the rear end of the signal transmission waveguide to ensure the integrity of the measurement signal, and the risk of loss of the measurement signal in the transmission process can be effectively reduced, so that the signal transmission waveguide has high use performance.
