Description

Microstrip double-branch directional coupler and radar level measurement system
Cross Reference to Related Applications
This application is a divisional application. The original application has the application number of 201811222931.0, the application date of 2018, 10 and 19, and the invention is named as a microstrip double-branch directional coupler and a radar level measurement system.
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of level measurement technologies, and in particular, to a microstrip dual-branch directional coupler and a radar level measurement system.
Background
Radar level gauges use the special properties of electromagnetic waves for level sensing. Electromagnetic waves can penetrate through space steam, dust and other interference sources, and are easy to reflect when encountering obstacles. Transmit-reflect-receive is the basic principle of operation of radar level gauges. The antenna of the radar sensor emits electromagnetic wave signals in the form of beams, and the reflected signals are still received by the antenna. The time of travel of the electromagnetic wave signal from transmission to reception is proportional to the distance of the sensor from the surface of the medium.
As shown in fig. 1, in the field of radar level measurement, a single antenna is often used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals due to limitations in structure, installation, sealing, explosion prevention, and the like. In the radar level gauge shown in FIG. 1, a single antenna 32 is used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals, and a single chip radar sensor 30 may achieve isolation of a transmitting channel and a receiving channel by means of a directional coupler 31.
A branch line directional coupler is a commonly used directional coupler. As shown in fig. 2, a 3dB microstrip dual-branch directional coupler is composed of a main line, a sub line and two coupled branch lines. AB is a main line, DC is a secondary line, AD and BC are branch lines, the length and the interval of the two branch lines are quarter wavelength (lambda/4), and the characteristic impedance of the AB main line and the DC secondary line are all
Figure BDA0003084377260000011
The characteristic impedance of the AD branch line and the BC branch line is z0Characteristic impedance of each port is z0. When the port (1) has input and other ports are matched, the port (2) and the port (3) have equal-amplitude out-of-phase output, 90-degree phase difference exists between the port (2) and the port (3), no signal is output from the port (4), and the port (4) is an isolated port. The 3dB microstrip double-branch directional coupler has good symmetry, and four ports are arbitraryWhich one of the ports may be used as an input port.
With the continuous increase of the frequency of electromagnetic waves, when the radar level gauge develops from a centimeter wave band to a millimeter wave band, the isolation of the directional coupler is reduced due to the fact that the size of the 3dB microstrip double-branch directional coupler is reduced, and the measurement accuracy of the radar level gauge is affected.

According to the results of the HFSS test, it can be shown that the isolation around the center frequency can be improved by using the circular microstrip dual-branch directional coupler.
With the increase of the frequency of the electromagnetic wave (millimeter wave), it is difficult to find an existing device as a load to realize matching of the coupling port of the directional coupler, and therefore, the present example skillfully solves the port impedance matching problem of the microstrip branch line directional coupler 200 by connecting the coupling port to another receiving channel (second receiving channel) of the radar signal transceiving apparatus 100. On the other hand, by adopting the circular microstrip double-branch directional coupler, the input port lead and the isolation port lead are not parallel wires any more but are right-angled wires, so that the distance between an input signal channel and an output signal channel is increased, the mutual interference between an input signal and an output signal is reduced, and the isolation of the directional coupler is improved.
