Description

Cross coupling filter
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a filter, and more particularly, to a cross-coupled filter.
Background
Recent filter demand trends are toward miniaturization and demand for high quality, and particularly, communication components used in a small base station for 5G communication are smaller in size and more in demand than those used in previous macro base station products. Therefore, components used in the interior of the product must be high-quality, small-sized and lightweight, and have a structure suitable for mass production.
The filters currently used in small base stations are typically dielectric waveguide filters and conventional metal coaxial filters. The dielectric waveguide filter can be made smaller and lighter in weight and can be manufactured at a low cost, but is inferior in loss and harmonic characteristics to a metal coaxial filter. Compared with a dielectric waveguide filter, the traditional metal coaxial filter has good loss and harmonic characteristics, but the reduction of size and weight in design characteristics reaches a certain limit, the number of internal components also reaches a limit, and the purpose of reducing manufacturing cost cannot be achieved.
If the application number is: CN201710149229.5 discloses a filter of frame structure type, in which both sides of a rectangular frame are open, and a partition wall divides the inside of the frame into two spaces. Perpendicular to this partition wall, there is an integral resonator. The resonator is bent into an L-shape or a T-shape to reduce the space requirement, but such a form has a limitation in downsizing the filter, and it is difficult to satisfy the design requirement of the filter for a minute volume.
In the above-described structure, in order to form cross coupling, a sheet-like or wire-like conductor is added between non-adjacent resonators in the form of an open circuit or a short circuit, and it is necessary to fix an insulator to a frame or weld a conductor in the form of a wire to the resonators. Such a structure incurs processing cost and processing tolerance, and the frequency drift of the filter is large according to the environmental temperature when the frame and the resonator are of an integral structure.
As also described in application No.: CN 201910044005.7 discloses a filter in which resonators are bent multiple times to achieve miniaturization of the filter and cross-coupling can be achieved without additional structural members. However, this structure still has the following disadvantages: 1. although the resonator is advantageous for miniaturization by being bent many times, the insertion loss in the electrical performance of the filter is deteriorated due to a relatively low Q value; when a product is manufactured by opening the die, the size of the part is relatively smaller than that of a common filter, the part is bent, and the possibility of deformation exists during die-casting forming; 2. the harmonic characteristics of the frequency multiplication of 2 need to be improved.
As described in application No.: CN 201810540869.3 patent discloses a miniaturized filter, in which resonators are bent multiple times to achieve miniaturization of the filter, and the resonant rods are comb-shaped, extend in the same direction, and achieve cross coupling through coupling windows without additional structural members. However, this structure still has the following disadvantages: 1. although the resonator is advantageous for miniaturization by being bent many times, the insertion loss in the electrical performance of the filter is deteriorated due to a relatively low Q value; 2. in order to enhance the coupling amount between the resonant units of each layer, a window on the shielding layer needs to be opened greatly, which brings certain limit to increasing the bandwidth; 3. the initial direction of the resonator is single, and the transformation of the coupling form is limited.
Therefore, there is a need to provide a new filter with a small size and a light weight to solve the problems of the filter such as the deterioration of insertion loss and suppression degree in electrical performance, the possibility of deformation at the time of die casting, and the need for improvement of 2-fold harmonic.

Detailed Description
The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the cross-coupled filter disclosed by the present invention includes a resonant structure 1, where the resonant structure 1 specifically includes a plurality of rows of resonant units and a plurality of columns of resonant units, and each row of resonant units and each column of resonant units further include a plurality of resonators 12. In practice, as shown in fig. 12, the resonant structure 1 may be an integral frame structure (i.e. the resonator is added with the frame 6 and connected into an integral form), and the frame-integrated resonant structure 1 has the advantages of simple assembly, good assembly tolerance consistency and capability of maintaining stable product quality. Or a split structure without a frame, as shown in fig. 1 and 17, the multiple rows of resonance unit split bodies of the resonance structure 1 are fixed in a frame 6 (for example, by fixing members such as screws).
In addition, the multiple rows of resonant cells of the resonant structure 1 can be located on the same plane, i.e., on the same layer, when implemented, and the structure can greatly reduce the size of the filter in the height direction. It is also possible to arrange several rows of resonator elements in layers, i.e. not in the same plane. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, each row of resonant units is vertically fixed in the frame 6, and the multiple rows of resonant units are arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 (i.e., in the front-rear direction of the frame 6); as shown in fig. 6, 9, 10, and 15, the plurality of rows of resonant units are located on the same plane.
As shown in fig. 5, 8 and 9, the minimum resonance structure a of the filter of the present invention is a 4-order filter, and specifically, the minimum resonance structure a is composed of two rows of adjacent resonance units and two columns of adjacent resonance units, where each row of resonance units and each column of resonance units have two resonators. In the implementation, the filter may be directly the minimum resonance structure a, that is, the filter is a 4-order filter, or the minimum resonance structure a is formed in other multi-order (e.g., 6-order, 8-order, etc.) filters higher than 4-order, and the position of the minimum resonance structure a in the filter is not limited, specifically, in two adjacent rows of resonance units, two adjacent resonators in any one row of resonance units and two adjacent resonators in the other row and the two adjacent resonators in the same column respectively form the minimum resonance structure.
In practice, the coupling polarity, arrangement, etc. between other resonators 12 in the filter except for the minimum resonant structure a may not be limited in the present invention.
In addition, the shape design of the resonators 12 and their arrangement within the frame 6 determine the manner of coupling between the resonators 12. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, each resonator 12 is a cylindrical structure as a whole, and specifically includes a resonant head 121, a resonant middle 122, and a resonant tail 123, where the resonant head 121 is a portion of the resonator 12 with the strongest electric coupling strength, and conversely, the resonant tail 123 is a portion of the resonator 12 with the strongest magnetic coupling strength. Preferably, the width of the resonance head 121 is wider than the widths of the resonance middle 122 and the resonance tail 123, so that the volume of the resonator 12 can be further reduced under the same frequency requirement. Of course, resonator structures having multiple bends are equally applicable to the present invention.
The plurality of rows of resonators 12 are arranged along a signal transmission path in the frame 6, and the signal transmission path may be U-shaped or S-shaped, or a curved path formed by a plurality of consecutive U-shaped or S-shaped resonators. The coupling manner of two adjacent resonators 12 on the signal transmission path is determined by the shape and mutual arrangement position of the two. It should be explained that the coupling of a general TEM (transverse electromagnetic mode) mode filter is the coexistence of electric coupling and magnetic coupling, and when the coupling amount of one of the two couplings is much larger than that of the other, the larger one is called dominant coupling, and the mode of dominant coupling in the filter of the present invention can be determined by the arrangement position of the two coupled resonators. If the coupling amount of the two is mainly generated by the resonance head, the main coupling is mainly electric coupling, if the coupling amount of the two is mainly generated by the resonance tail, the main coupling is magnetic coupling, and if the magnitude difference between the electric coupling amount and the magnetic coupling amount is not large, the electromagnetic hybrid coupling is realized.
When the resonators in the same row are transversely arranged, the resonators in the same column are longitudinally arranged, and signals can be transmitted along one direction (namely, transversely or longitudinally); when the resonators in the same row are longitudinally arranged, the resonators in the same column are transversely arranged, and signals can also be transmitted along one direction firstly.
As shown in fig. 18a, the filter is a 4-order filter, and specifically includes a first cover plate 2, a second cover plate 3, and a minimum resonance structure, where, as shown in fig. 18b, the minimum resonance structure is composed of two rows of resonance units and two columns of resonance units, that is, includes 4 resonators, which are respectively defined as 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d, and at this time, the same row is a resonator arranged in the transverse direction, the same column is a resonator arranged in the longitudinal direction, and signals are transmitted along the longitudinal direction first. The two resonators 12 in the same row of the minimum resonant structure are mainly electrically coupled or magnetically coupled. In the minimum resonance structure shown in fig. 18a, the resonators 12a and 12d in the same row are mainly electrically coupled, and the resonators 12b and 12c in the same row are mainly magnetically coupled.
For convenience of description, two resonators 12 in the same row in this embodiment are defined as one group. And two adjacent resonators 12 in the same column are electromagnetically and mixedly coupled, and the coupling polarities of the two groups of resonators 12 in the two rows of resonance units are opposite. The coupling polarities include the above-mentioned electric coupling and magnetic coupling, that is, the coupling polarities of the two groups of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units, one group of coupling modes is mainly electric coupling, and the other group of coupling modes is mainly magnetic coupling. In addition, at least one cross coupling is formed in the two rows of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units, as shown in fig. 18 c.
As shown in fig. 5, 8 and 9, in a specific embodiment, when the resonators arranged in the same row are arranged in the transverse direction, the resonators arranged in the same column are arranged in the longitudinal direction, and signals are transmitted along the transverse direction first, the two resonators 12 in the same row of the minimum resonant structure a are mainly electrically coupled or magnetically coupled, and for convenience of description, the two resonators 12 in the same row in this embodiment are defined as a group. And two adjacent resonators 12 in the same column are electromagnetically and mixedly coupled, and the coupling polarities of the two groups of resonators 12 in the two rows of resonance units are opposite. The coupling polarities include the above-mentioned electric coupling and magnetic coupling, that is, the coupling polarities of the two groups of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units, one group of coupling modes is mainly electric coupling, and the other group of coupling modes is mainly magnetic coupling. In addition, at least one cross coupling is formed in the two rows of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the resonance tails 123 of two resonators 12 in the same row of the minimum resonance structure a are connected or opposite to each other, or the resonance heads 121 are arranged oppositely to each other, and when the resonance tails 123 are connected or opposite to each other, the coupling formed is mainly magnetic coupling; when the resonant heads 121 are oppositely arranged, the coupling is mainly electrical coupling. The two resonators 12 in the same column are arranged in parallel or approximately in parallel, but the directions of the resonance heads 121 or the resonance tails 123 of the two resonators are opposite, and if the resonance head 121 of one resonator 12 faces to the left, the resonance head 121 of the other resonator faces to the right, of course, the two resonators 12 in the same column are not limited to the arrangement structure in which the resonators face opposite directions, as long as the electromagnetic hybrid coupling of the two resonators can be realized. And the coupling polarities of the two groups of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units are opposite, specifically, if the resonance heads 121 of the two resonators 12 (i.e., one group of resonators) in one row are arranged oppositely to form a mainly electric coupling, and the resonance tails 123 of the two resonators (i.e., the other group of resonators) in the other row are connected or opposite to form a mainly magnetic coupling, the two groups of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units are not limited to the arrangement structure described herein, as long as the two adjacent groups of resonators in the two adjacent rows are distributed in a structure in which the mainly electric coupling and the mainly magnetic coupling are alternated.
In addition, the other resonators 12 in the filter may be extended according to the coupling manner between the resonators 12 in this embodiment, and extended to have a filter structure with at least two rows and at least two columns of resonators 12. Specifically, two adjacent resonators 12 in the same row are mainly electrically coupled or magnetically coupled; two adjacent resonators 12 in the same column are coupled by electromagnetic mixing, the coupling polarities of two adjacent resonators 12 in the same row are opposite and/or the coupling polarities of two adjacent resonators 12 in two adjacent rows are opposite, and at least one cross coupling is formed in the resonators 12 in multiple columns of the multiple rows of resonance units.
As shown in fig. 12 and fig. 15, in another specific alternative embodiment, when the resonators arranged in the same row are arranged in the transverse direction and the resonators arranged in the same column are arranged in the longitudinal direction, and the signal starts to transmit along the longitudinal direction, the electromagnetic hybrid coupling between two resonators 12 in the same column of the minimum resonant structure a, that is, the electric coupling and the magnetic coupling of two adjacent resonators 12 reach the value of forming the electromagnetic hybrid coupling. Two adjacent resonators 12 in the same row are mainly electrically coupled or magnetically coupled, and for convenience of description, two resonators 12 in the same row are defined as a group in this embodiment. And the coupling polarities of the two groups of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units are opposite. In addition, at least one cross coupling is formed in the two rows of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units.
Specifically, two resonators 12 in the same column are arranged in parallel or approximately in parallel, but the resonant heads 121 or the resonant tails 123 of the two resonators are oriented oppositely; the resonance tail parts 123 of the two resonators in the same row are connected or the resonance head parts 121 are oppositely arranged; the arrangement of the two groups of resonators 12 of the two rows of resonance units is the same as the above explanation, and is not described herein.
Similarly, the other resonators 12 in the filter may also be extended according to the coupling manner between the resonators 12 in this alternative embodiment, so as to extend into a filter structure having at least two rows and at least two columns of resonators 12. Specifically, two adjacent resonators 12 in the same column are all electromagnetically mixed and coupled; the adjacent two resonators 12 in the same row are mainly electrically coupled or magnetically coupled, and the coupling polarities of the two adjacent groups of resonators 12 in the same row are opposite and/or the coupling polarities of the two adjacent groups of resonators 12 in two adjacent columns are opposite, and at least one cross coupling is formed. The cross-coupling generates a transmission zero on the left and right sides of the bandwidth, respectively, and the number of cross-couplings can be increased to increase the number of zeros according to the number of resonators 12. The cross coupling between the resonators 12 of the present invention can be achieved without additional structural members, but additional structural members (such as metal rods, insulators, and other supporting members, not shown) can be added between two adjacent resonators 12 forming the cross coupling according to circumstances, so as to further increase the amount of cross coupling.
Further, the filter further includes a cover plate disposed on the resonance structure, a closed filtering cavity is formed between the cover plate and the resonance structure, in implementation, the cover plate may include a first cover plate 2 and a second cover plate 3 respectively covering end surfaces on two sides of the resonance structure, the structures of the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are substantially the same, the structure of the first cover plate 2 is specifically described herein, and the second cover plate 3 is not described in detail, which can refer to the description of the first cover plate 2 below. As shown in fig. 11, the first cover plate 2 includes a plurality of protrusions 21 disposed on a lower end surface thereof, i.e., a surface adjacent to the resonant structure 1, at least one shielding wall 23, and at least one connection post 24. The protruding portion 21 extends from the lower end surface of the first cover plate 2 toward the direction close to the resonant structure 1, and the position of the protruding portion 21 on the first cover plate 2 corresponds to the position of the resonant head 121 of the resonator 12, that is, the protruding portion 21 is disposed on the lower end surface of the first cover plate 2 corresponding to the position of the resonant head 121 of the resonator, so that the distance between the first cover plate 2 and the resonant head 121 of the resonator 12 is shortened, because the closer to the resonator 12, the larger the distributed capacitance is, the lower the resonant frequency is, so that the length of the resonator can be effectively shortened, and the size of the filter can be relatively reduced, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the filter.
The first cover 2 is formed with a plurality of recesses 22 corresponding to the protrusions 21, and the recesses 22 are formed at positions on the first cover 2 corresponding to the positions of the resonance tails 123 of the resonators 12, that is, the recesses 22 are formed at positions on the lower end surface of the first cover 2 corresponding to the positions of the resonance tails 123 of the resonators 12, so that the space between the resonance tails 123 and the first cover 2 is enlarged.
The shielding wall 23 is disposed between two adjacent resonators 12 for adjusting the coupling strength between the two resonators 12, although the coupling strength between the resonators 12 can be adjusted by the distance between the resonators 12, this may result in a larger filter volume, and the provision of the shielding wall 23 does not affect the filter volume based on the adjustable coupling strength between the resonators 12.
The connecting column 24 is disposed between two adjacent resonators 12 in the same row and connects the first and second cover plates 2 and 3. The provision of the connecting studs 24 improves the harmonic characteristics of the filter. The attachment posts 24 are implemented on either the first cover plate or the second cover plate.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the frame 6 may further include a plurality of tuning screws 7, which pass through the upper end surface of the frame 6 and extend into the upper side of the corresponding resonator 12 at the lower end thereof, for adjusting the resonant frequency of the resonator 12; and a coupling adjusting screw 8 which penetrates through the upper end surface of the filter frame 6 and the lower end of which extends into the space between two adjacent resonators 12 and is used for adjusting the coupling amount between the resonators 12.
The signal input port 4 and the signal output port 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the above-mentioned signal transmission path, and the arrangement positions thereof may be different according to the difference of the signal transmission path.
The following description will be made of the structure of the cross-coupled filter of the present invention in terms of several embodiments.

The structure of the lower resonant structure 1 will be described in detail below.
As shown in fig. 3, the filter formed by the resonant structure 1 of embodiment 1 of the present invention is a 6-order filter, which includes two rows of resonant units, where the two rows of resonant units are not on the same plane, and specifically, are layered along the front-back direction of the frame 6. Each row of resonance units is vertically arranged in the frame 6 (i.e. in the up-down direction of the frame 6), and each row of resonance units includes 3 resonators 12, i.e. 6 resonators 12 are arranged in the frame, and for convenience of description, the 6 resonators are defined as resonator 12a and resonator 12b … … resonator 12f, where resonator 12a to resonator 12c are in a row, and resonator 12d to resonator 12f are in a row.
