With the continuous development of electromagnetic spectrum resources, millimeter waves have become research hotspots in the fields of radar, communication, navigation and the like due to the characteristics of high resolution, large information capacity, good anti-interference performance, wide available spectrum range and the like, and have great application value and market application prospect. The millimeter wave power amplifier is an important component in a millimeter wave system, and the output power of the millimeter wave power amplifier has an important influence on the system performance; in general, millimeter wave high power amplifiers have two main forms: a vacuum tube power amplifier and a solid state power amplifier; compared with a vacuum tube power amplifier, the solid-state power amplifier has the advantages of larger bandwidth, better linearity and simple structure, can be improved by several orders of magnitude in the aspects of size, weight, low-voltage power supply requirement and the like, but is limited by the characteristics of the existing semiconductor physical device, and the power level of a single solid-state device is limited. Therefore, in order to achieve high power output, power combining techniques in combination with multiple solid state power amplifiers is an efficient way.
Dividing one path of signal into a plurality of paths by using a power synthesis technology, respectively amplifying the paths of signals, and synthesizing and outputting the amplified paths of signals, thereby realizing the multiplication of output power; in the high power synthesis technology, the most critical is the single mode guided wave transmission system requiring multipath, broadband, low loss and high power capacity and various microwave elements based on the guided wave system, such as power divider, synthesizer, microstrip to waveguide transition, etc., generally, the single mode bandwidth of the microwave element is smaller than that of the guided wave system. Therefore, the premise of promoting the broadband is to research a novel single-mode guided wave transmission system.
The hollow metal guided wave system has advantages in high-frequency broadband and low-loss power synthesis, and is mainly realized by rectangular waveguide and ridge waveguide at present; the adoption of the rectangular waveguide can realize the full waveguide bandwidth, the relative bandwidth is about 40 percent, such as the Ku frequency band (12-18 GHz); if the double-ridge waveguide is adopted, the bandwidth of 6-18GHz can be realized. The broadband microwave and millimeter wave high-power synthesizer based on the rectangular waveguide has a simple structure, but the bandwidth is limited by the single-mode bandwidth; the double-ridge waveguide has broadband characteristics, but the structure is inconvenient to process, the power handling capability is poor, and the loss is large; based on the technical scheme, the invention provides a novel T waveguide-based power divider/combiner.

The invention aims to provide a novel T waveguide-based power distribution/synthesis device, which is suitable for the field of broadband millimeter wave high-power waveguide multi-path power distribution/synthesis. The invention provides a novel T waveguide structure, wherein a single-mode working bandwidth of the novel T waveguide structure is larger than that of a rectangular waveguide, and the novel T waveguide structure has a tighter size than that of the rectangular waveguide under the same working frequency, is simpler than a double-ridge waveguide structure, is easy to process and has smaller processing loss; and the power divider/combiner is constructed in a binary combination manner based on the novel T waveguide structure.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:
a novel T-waveguide based power splitter/combiner comprising: n-level 180-degree waveguide power divider and 2n+1 waveguide-microstrip transition structures, the n-level 180-degree waveguide power dividers are cascaded by adopting a binary structure, and the waveguide-microstrip transition structures are correspondingly connected to 1 power synthesis port and 2nA power distribution port, n is a positive integer not less than 2; the 180-degree waveguide power divider is characterized in that the 180-degree waveguide power divider is formed by adopting T-shaped waveguides, and the waveguide-microstrip transition structure is arranged at the electromagnetic field wave crest of a T-shaped waveguide main mode.
Furthermore, the T waveguide-microstrip transition structure is an E-plane microstrip probe structure.
Further, the 180-degree waveguide power divider is provided with a resistance diaphragm and is located at the center of an H-plane of a main transmission T-shaped waveguide branch port of the 180-degree waveguide power divider, so as to improve the isolation between two output ports of the 180-degree waveguide power divider.
Furthermore, when the novel T-waveguide-based power divider/synthesizer works as a divider, TEM mode signals excite TE in the T-shaped waveguide through the waveguide-microstrip transition structure10The mode signal is divided into 2 by an n-stage 180-degree waveguide power dividernEach path of signal is coupled into a TEM mode signal for output after passing through the waveguide-microstrip transition structure again, so that power equal-amplitude in-phase distribution is realized; when the power divider/synthesizer based on the novel T waveguide works as a synthesizer, 2nThe TEM mode signal passes through the waveguide-microstrip transition structure in T-shaped waveIn-lead exciter 2nRoad TE10And the mode signals are synthesized into 1 path through an n-level 180-degree waveguide synthesizer, and the path of signals are coupled into TEM mode signals to be output after passing through a waveguide-microstrip transition structure again, so that power equal-amplitude in-phase synthesis is realized.
It should be noted that: the T-shaped waveguide in the invention is shown in FIG. 2 and defined as: any section perpendicular to the propagation direction is a T-shaped waveguide.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention provides a power divider/synthesizer based on a novel T waveguide, which is characterized in that a 180-degree waveguide power divider is formed based on the novel T waveguide, and a binary waveguide power divider/synthesizer is formed by a plurality of stages of 180-degree waveguide power dividers; compared with the traditional power divider/synthesizer based on the rectangular waveguide or the double-ridge waveguide, the invention has the advantages that: 1. TE (transverse transition) pair-master mode of T waveguide10The mode has the effect of widening the wide side of the rectangular waveguide, so that the cut-off wavelength of the main mode is increased, and the single-mode transmission bandwidth of the T waveguide is wider than that of the rectangular waveguide; 2. under the same working frequency, the size of the T waveguide is smaller than that of the rectangular waveguide, and the structure is more compact; 3. the T waveguide is simple in structure, in the processing process, the T waveguide only needs to be cut once, the double-ridge waveguide needs to be cut twice, the more times of cutting are, the larger the loss is, and therefore the T waveguide has lower loss and better circuit realizability than the double-ridge waveguide; based on the technical scheme, the power divider/synthesizer based on the novel T waveguide is particularly suitable for the field of broadband millimeter wave high-power synthesis.
