The invention is further described below for better clarity:
the embodiment is as follows: fig. 1 shows a single multi-channel filter switch, which includes five metal cavities, namely a first metal cavity 10, a second metal cavity 11, a third metal cavity 12, a fourth metal cavity 13, and a fifth metal cavity 14; four coaxial resonators and a four-mode dielectric resonator are sequentially arranged in the five metal cavities, namely a first 1 coaxial resonator, a second 2 coaxial resonator, a third 3 coaxial resonator, a fourth 4 coaxial resonator and a dielectric resonator 5;
the first, second, third and fourth metal cavities are internally provided with a first PCB, a second PCB, a third PCB and a fourth PCB in sequence, each PCB is provided with a switch circuit which is respectively connected with the first, second, third and fourth coaxial resonators and used for regulating and controlling the coaxial resonators to resonate at different resonant frequencies in the on and off states;
the first, second, third and fourth coaxial resonators are respectively connected with the first 6, second 7, third 8 and fourth 9 ports, and the external quality factor of the filter is controlled by adjusting the positions of the connection points of the resonators and the ports;
the four coaxial resonators are respectively provided with a coupling metal rod mutually coupled with the dielectric resonators, and the coupling metal rods of the first and second coaxial resonators are only coupled to two modes in the four-mode dielectric resonators to form a first filter; coupling metal rods of the third coaxial resonator and the fourth coaxial resonator are only coupled to the other two modes in the four-mode dielectric resonator to form a second filter; therefore, the whole structure comprises two filters, and the performances are hardly influenced by each other;
when the switch circuit is closed, the resonant frequency of the coaxial resonator in each filter is close to the resonant frequency of the four-mode dielectric resonator, and an on-state band-pass filtering response is formed; when the switch circuit is opened, the capacitance effect of the switch circuit is loaded on the coaxial resonator, and the resonant frequency of the coaxial resonator is changed, so that the difference between the resonant frequency of the coaxial resonator and the resonant frequency of the dielectric resonator is large, a band-pass filter cannot be formed, and the isolation effect of an off state is realized; therefore, the whole structure comprises two switchable filter pass bands, and a single multi-path filtering switch is realized.
The coupling probe arranged on the coaxial resonator is parallel to the dielectric resonator and is close to the dielectric resonator; by taking the horizontal central line of the dielectric resonator as a reference, the coupling metal rods arranged on the first coaxial resonator and the second coaxial resonator are positioned at the positions of 90 degrees of the coupling metal rods arranged on the third coaxial resonator and the fourth coaxial resonator, so that the first coaxial resonator and the second coaxial resonator and the third coaxial resonator and the fourth coaxial resonator can respectively excite two modes on the dielectric resonator without mutual influence, and the good isolation effect of the two-way filter is realized.
Fig. 2 and fig. 3 are graphs of experimental results of the single multipath filter switch of the present embodiment, and from fig. 2, when the single multipath filter switch is in an on state, good filtering performance is achieved, the center frequency of the passband is 2.56GHz, the in-band return loss is greater than 18dB, the bandwidth with the return loss greater than 18dB is 1.8%, and the simulated insertion loss is 0.4dB; the isolation of the two filter switch channels is better than 30 dB; it can be seen from fig. 3 that in the off state, the off isolation of each switch is greater than 25dB, and the isolation between the two switches is greater than 60dB. In general, each path of the single multi-path filter switch realizes a good filter switch effect, and good isolation is realized between the two paths.
