Description

Non-contact adjustable negative group time delay circuit based on dielectric resonator and construction method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microwave engineering, in particular to a non-contact adjustable negative group time delay circuit based on a dielectric resonator and a construction method thereof.
Background
In modern communication systems, group delay effects caused by complex circuit interconnect structures are one of the important causes of signal distortion. To avoid signal distortion caused by group delay, a negative group delay circuit is often employed as an equalizer to compensate for group delay variations. The negative group delay refers to the abnormal electromagnetic propagation phenomenon that the group delay is negative, namely the output signal is earlier than the input signal. The parameter of the group delay refers to the negative derivative of the phase with respect to the angular frequency, and the phase of the negative group delay characteristic has a positive change rate with the frequency, and the parameter reflects the dispersion condition of the signal phase in the circuit. Einstein's relativity states that there is nothing in the vacuum environment to exceed the speed of light, negative group delay and speed of light propagation appear to be contrary to conventional wisdom, but Garrett and Mccummbe theoretically demonstrate that: the negative group velocity of waves when anomalous dispersion is present in the medium is present and follows the causal law, which is verified under relatively severe conditions.
In recent years, the negative group delay phenomenon has been implemented in electronic circuits and widely used in various communication systems. Various structures have been adopted abroad to implement a negative group delay circuit or filter, such as a defective microstrip structure, a defective ground structure, a 3-dB hybrid coupler, a transmission line, etc., however, the structures in these researches can only implement fixed center frequency and negative group delay, and therefore, the negative group delay circuit with configurable center frequency and group delay values in the research and design has important practical significance for improving the performance of a microwave system. At present, most tunable negative group delay circuits adopt contact methods of loading variable resistors, variable capacitance diodes, pin diodes and the like to realize an adjustable function, and research and design for realizing a non-contact adjustable negative group delay circuit based on a space coupling angle are lacked.
