For understanding and description, the following describes in detail a filtering power divider based on a copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line provided by the embodiment of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1-7, the 6-18GHz power divider based on a copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line and implanted with a filtering function provided by the present invention includes a dielectric substrate 15, a copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16, a copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line, a filter 23 based on a branch-node loading multimode resonator, and a broadband wilkinson power divider 24 based on an LC network. The copper-based micro-coaxial line-microstrip line transition structure 16 is surface-mounted on the dielectric substrate 15 with the metal grounding via array 17.
Wherein the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line comprises a metal outer wall 11, a conductor inner core 12 and a dielectric strip 14 for supporting the inner core, and the cavity between the metal outer wall 11 and the inner core 12 is filled with air, so that the transmission loss is greatly reduced; the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16 consists of a metal sheet, a metal outer wall 11 and a conductor inner core 12; the two sections of coupling lines 18, the one section of high-impedance ratio open line 20 and the two short-circuit branches 19 connected with the input/output ports of the filter based on the branch loading multimode resonator are designed based on copper-based micro-coaxial transmission lines; the quarter-wavelength transmission line, the inductance L and the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line design of the broadband Wilkinson power divider 24 based on an LC network are also based on the structure, and an 0402 packaging element is adopted for the isolation resistor and the isolation capacitor; the filter power divider comprises three ports, namely an input port 1, a first output port 2 and a second output port 3, and the impedance of the three ports is matched to a 50 ohm microstrip line. The wideband wilkinson power divider 24 based on LC network includes an input end and two output ends, the input end is directly connected with the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16 to form the input port 1 of the filtering power divider, the output end is connected with the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16 through the filtering branches to form the output ports 2 and 3 of the filtering power divider, and the metal outer wall 11, the inner core 12 and the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16 of the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line are axisymmetric structures. The filter 23 based on the stub-loaded multimode resonator and the broadband wilkinson power divider 24 based on the LC network are both symmetrical structures.
When the device is used, radio frequency signals are input from the input port 1, firstly, a power distribution structure divides one path of radio frequency signals into two paths of signals with equal amplitude and the like, and a filtering resonance structure selectively passes the radio frequency signals. Based on a 3D copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line structure, the filtering structure and the Wilkinson power dividing structure are integrally designed, so that the device has the filtering function and the power dividing function, the size of the device can be reduced, the miniaturization is realized, meanwhile, good performance is maintained, and the miniaturization and the integration of a radio frequency communication system are facilitated. The designed copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16 is more convenient to cooperatively design with the traditional process; in addition, the lumped element is designed by the process, so that the circuit size is greatly reduced, and interference caused by introducing other forms of capacitance and inductance is also reduced.
The copper-based micro-coaxial metal outer wall 11, the conductor inner core 12 and the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16 are symmetrical structures.
The copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16 is a widening gradual-change structure, and the metal outer wall 11 and the conductor inner core 12 are widened synchronously.
The characteristic impedance of the quarter-wavelength transmission line of the broadband Wilkinson power divider based on the LC network is determined by the width and thickness of the copper-based micro coaxial transmission line conductor inner core, and the thickness is 60um, 100um and 260 um; the lumped element inductances are all designed based on copper-based micro-coaxial technology; the isolation resistors and capacitors are designed with corresponding pads 21,22 according to the size standard, and the pads are positioned on the conductor inner core.
The filter based on the branch loading multimode resonator is respectively connected with the two output ports 2 and 3 of the Wilkinson power divider, so that the collaborative design of the multimode resonator and the power divider is realized.
The short-circuit branches 19, the two coupled lines 18 and the high-impedance-ratio open line 20 of the filter are all quarter-wavelength transmission lines, the center frequency of which is 12GHz.
More specifically, the short circuit branch of the filter is formed by connecting a copper-based micro-coaxial metal outer wall 11 with a conductor inner core 12; the coupling line is formed by two adjacent inner cores 12 in the metal outer wall 11 of the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line, the coupling coefficient is determined by the distance between the inner core conductors 12 and the metal outer wall 11, and the side wall of the metal outer wall is windowed to obviously enhance the coupling strength of the coupling line; the open line comprises two sections of quarter-wavelength transmission lines with different characteristic impedance, so that the resonance mode is increased, and the transmission bandwidth is widened.
The copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line has a periodic arrangement of release holes 13 and dielectric support strips 14.
More specifically, the metal outer wall 11 has periodic release holes 13, the conductor core is wrapped in the metal outer wall 11, and the conductor core is supported by periodically arranged dielectric strips 14 passing through the conductor core.
The short circuit branch 19 and the open circuit line 20 in the filter 23 based on the branch loading multimode resonator are respectively realized by connecting and separating the copper-based micro coaxial transmission line inner core 12 and the metal outer wall 11, and the metal outer wall of the terminal of the short circuit branch 19 is not provided with a release hole 13 in order to ensure good grounding.
The basic structure of this embodiment is a copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line, which is processed using electrochemical additive technology. The rectangular micro-coaxial line manufacturing process based on the research institute has 9 layers, and each layer has a thickness of 60-100 um. It should be noted that although circular coaxial lines have lower losses than rectangular coaxial lines, air-filled circular coaxial lines are not easily processed, and rectangular coaxial lines are more suitable for such a layer-by-layer sequential processing manufacturing process.
The copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line has the height of only 860um, can be regarded as a quasi-planar structure, and transmits electromagnetic waves which are TEM waves, and has extremely low loss. And release holes which are periodically arranged are needed to be added in the processing process of the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line so as to release photoresist used in the manufacturing process. The number of the release holes 13 is not too large or too small, electromagnetic leakage is caused by too large, incomplete photoresist removal is caused by too small, residues are caused, the quality and the transmission performance of the transmission line are affected, and the characteristic impedance of the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line is determined by the width and the thickness of the conductor inner core.
The coupling line 18 portion of the multimode resonator-based filter, the metal outer wall 11 side wall of which needs to be windowed, is loaded based on the dendrites, thereby enhancing coupling. It should be noted that the support columns that are periodically arranged cannot be too many or too few, the coupling strength is reduced due to the too many support columns, and the stability and the firmness of the structure are affected due to the too few support columns, so that the use of the whole device is affected.
More specifically, the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line conductor core 12 coincides with and remains parallel to the metal outer wall axis 11. The copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line is supported by periodically arranged dielectric strips 14, the dielectric support strips 14 penetrate through the conductor inner core, and two ends of the dielectric support strips are embedded in the metal outer wall 11. In addition, the dielectric support bars 14 should be periodically arranged at appropriate intervals, and too dense arrangement can cause too high electromagnetic loss, too sparse arrangement can cause insufficient support to the conductor core 12, and influence the structure and strength of the device.
In order to make the whole structure more compact and miniaturized, the embodiment of the invention bends the short-circuit line 19 and the open-circuit line 20, and reduces the whole size of the broadband filtering power divider on the premise of ensuring the transmission effect as much as possible.
After the copper-based micro-coaxial portion is processed, the entire structure needs to be attached to the processed dielectric substrate. The bottom surface of the metal outer wall 11 of the copper-based micro-coaxial part and the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 15 are on the same horizontal plane, then metal sheets are extended to the two ends of the dielectric substrate at the position of the copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line-microstrip line transition structure 16, and the manufacturing of the 6-18GHz copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line filter implantation power divider with the microstrip transition structure is completed. The metal material used in the design of this embodiment is copper, and the dielectric substrate material is Rogers 5880.
As shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, the characteristics of the implanted power divider of the 6-18GHz copper-based micro-coaxial transmission line filter with the microstrip transition structure are simulated. Simulation results show that the return loss of the transition structure is better than 30dB in the range of 6-18 GH; the ultra-wideband filtering power divider has a center frequency of 11.95GHz, a 3dB working bandwidth of 11.90GHz, a working frequency covering 6.0-17.9GHz, a minimum insertion loss in a passband of 0.4665dB, a return loss of better than 14.5dB in the range of 6.2-17.9GHz, an isolation of better than 16.99dB in the passband, and a majority of areas in the passband of better than 20dB.
