Technical Field

Background
Electronic devices are an indispensable part of people's daily lives, but as the variety of electronic devices increases, a series of problems also occur. Different electronic devices have different operating frequencies and therefore cannot share a common communication channel, and only a separate communication channel can be established for each device, but this greatly increases the communication cost. Therefore, in order to reduce the communication cost, a duplexer is often used to solve the above-mentioned problems.
A diplexer is a passive device that can implement frequency division multiplexing and is typically reciprocal, i.e., the device itself has no input or output concept. When the duplexer works, the frequencies on the two ports are multiplexed to one port, and signals on the two ports occupy disjoint frequency bands, so that the signals on the two ports can coexist on the third port and cannot interfere with each other, and a common communication channel can be shared through the duplexer. The diplexer generally multiplexes the frequencies of two ports to one port, or may multiplex to more than two ports, and the three-port to one-port multiplexer is called a triplexer, and the four-port to one-port multiplexer is a quadruplex.
There are many kinds of diplexers currently applied to mobile communication terminals, and there are waveguide diplexers, coaxial diplexers, dielectric diplexers, and SAW diplexers in common. The waveguide duplexer is the duplexer which is applied to the communication field at the earliest, has wider application, but has large volume, high cost and very difficult tuning; the coaxial duplexer has lower power loss and good practicability, but the application in electronic equipment is difficult due to the larger volume, and based on the defect, the improved spiral coaxial duplexer has the advantages that the size is greatly reduced, and the quality factor Q value of the coaxial duplexer is also reduced; the dielectric duplexer is composed of a dielectric filter, the dielectric constant of the dielectric material is tens of times higher than that of an air medium, miniaturization can be realized, the performance of the duplexer is improved, and the dielectric duplexer is widely used at present; the SAW duplexer is a transduction type passive band-pass filter which is made by utilizing the piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric quartz crystal oscillator material and the physical characteristics of acoustic surface wave propagation, can inhibit the interference of the problems of higher harmonic waves, mirror image information, emission leakage signals, various parasitic clutters and the like of electronic equipment, and can realize the filtering of amplitude-frequency characteristics and phase-frequency characteristics of any required precision.

The design of the high-pass filter is obtained by inversely transforming the inductance 1 and the capacitance 2 elements in the low-pass filter structure, so that the size of the whole device is reduced in order to reduce the number of the inductance 1 elements in the circuit, the design of the circuit adopts a parallel-series resonance mode, five inductances 1 are changed into two inductances 1 after transformation, and simultaneously the structures of the parallel inductances 1 and the capacitance 2 obtain transmission zero points, so that the transmission of signals is prevented by generating larger parallel impedance when resonance is performed under the condition of low frequency, and the five-order elliptic function high-pass filter is formed.
The inductance value and the capacitance value of the high-pass filter can be determined through calculation of the equation, and the values of all devices in the high-pass filter are as follows, and the capacitance C5 is as follows: 1.95pF, capacitance C6:28.99pF, capacitor C7:1.18pF, capacitance C8:10.59pF, capacitance C9:2.17pF, inductance L3:4.1nH, inductance L4:4.64nH. Preferably, these values reduce the insertion loss of the high pass filter, ensuring that the signal passes as completely as possible; the return loss of the high-pass filter is increased, and the return of signals to the input port is reduced as much as possible; the performance of the transmission zero point is optimized, and the isolation degree of the duplexer is improved.
The frequency response results of the high-pass filter are shown in fig. 8, the transmission poles are 1.569GHz and 2.435GHz respectively, the transmission zeros are 0.462GHz and 0.718GHz respectively, the positions of the transmission poles can ensure that the high-pass filter works normally under the frequency of 1.8GHz, meanwhile, the transmission zeros can prevent signal transmission under the low frequency, and the high-pass filter can realize five-order high-pass frequency response, and has high sensitivity and good performance. The 1.8GHz frequency band wireless communication plays a significant role in the field of automatic power distribution, and domestic radio frequency application is mainly divided into three bands: 0.223-0.235GHz, 1.427-1.525GHz and 1.785-1.805GHz, wherein 0.223-0.235GHz is transmitted by a power grid company with 25kHz as a frequency point; a part of frequency points in 1.427-1.525GHz are used as microwaves by part of power grid companies; only some sporadic bands of 1.785-1.805GHz are applied. The coverage range of the power wireless broadband private network is basically identical with the power supply range of the 110kV transformer substation, and a TD-LTE wireless communication network based on 1.8GHz is built in China, so that the power wireless broadband private network is a wireless broadband with the largest power industry standard, and covers the scenes of open areas of dense urban areas and suburban areas, emergency exercise points and the like. Therefore, the 1.8GHz high-pass filter with optimized performance has a great application prospect in the power wireless communication technology, and can further enlarge the coverage range of the area and improve the stability of power grid communication.
