Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
Example 1:
referring to fig. 1, the present application is a reconfigurable microwave filter circulator with a self-interference isolation adjustable function, having: an antenna end, a transmitting end and a receiving end,
a multi-order transmitting filter is connected between the antenna end and the transmitting end and comprises a plurality of LC resonators which are arranged in parallel, one ends of the LC resonators are grounded, and the other ends of the LC resonators are coupled with a high-impedance microstrip line in a mixed mode through a varactor;
the multi-order receiving filter comprises a plurality of LC resonators which are arranged in parallel, one ends of the LC resonators are grounded, and the other ends of the LC resonators are in mixed coupling with the high-impedance microstrip line through a varactor;
the multi-order transmitting filter and the multi-order receiving filter are both connected with an antenna end, an LC resonator R0 is arranged in parallel at the joint of the multi-order transmitting filter and the multi-order receiving filter, one end of the LC resonator R0 is connected with the antenna end, and the other end of the LC resonator R0 is grounded;
the LC resonator R0, the first-order LC resonator of the multi-order transmitting filter and the first-order LC resonator of the multi-order receiving filter are in mixed coupling through a varactor diode and a high-impedance microstrip line to form an integral framework of a filter circulator, and the integral framework is provided with a plurality of transmission zeros and supports space-time modulation;
the signal generated by the transmitting end is transmitted and coupled through a plurality of LC resonators and then flows to the receiving end, namely the signal S23, and the signal S23 is isolated.
As shown in fig. 1, the overall filter circulator structure proposed by the present application is formed by seven parallel LC resonators R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 to form a theme framework, where R1, R2, R3 are respectively a first-order LC resonator, a second-order LC resonator, and a second-order LC resonator in the multi-order receiving filter, and R4, R5, R6 are respectively a first-order LC resonator, a second-order LC resonator, and a second-order LC resonator in the multi-order transmitting filter, and coupling M01, M04, M12, M23, M14, M45, M56 between 7 LC resonators is implemented by a varactor and a high impedance microstrip line, and the hybrid coupling thereof not only introduces more transmission zeros for the circuit, but also supports a mechanism of space-time modulation, thereby providing a basic framework for implementing a space-time modulation based magnetic loop circulator. Three ports: the antenna end is 1 port, the receiving end is 2 ports, the transmitting end is 3 ports, three external coupling capacitors J0, J1 and J2 are respectively introduced into the antenna end, the receiving end and the transmitting end, and the external coupling capacitors J0, J1 and J2 are varactors so as to complete the matching effect on the external ports. In the application, when the time domain signals at M01, M04 and M14 modulate the nonlinear capacitance loaded by the time domain signals, the time reversibility of the loop is broken, and the nonreciprocal effect is formed, so that the design of the circulator is completed. The high-power signal generated by the transmitting end flows to the receiving end, the signal flow is S23 (J2-R6-R5-R4-M14-R1-R2-R3-J1), firstly, the signal flow generates an inherent isolation degree from transmitting to receiving under the effect of space-time modulation, and the original isolation is increased again due to the complexity and loss of a circuit because of the transmission coupling of the signal S23 among a plurality of resonators, so that the isolation degree based on a circulator architecture is increased for the first time, and the isolation degree is obviously enhanced to 26dB.
For a high-power transmitting end signal, the self-interference cancellation path 1 and the self-interference cancellation path 2 are introduced into a filtering circulator circuit structure, the self-interference cancellation path 1 is grafted between the resonators R3 and R6, the self-interference cancellation path 2 is grafted between the resonators R2 and R5, and two different paths respectively correspond to two different working frequency points f1 and f2.
First, the two paths of signals are extremely weak, and have two variables, namely the amplitude and phase of the signals, in order to cancel the original signal S23 in the loop by using the two paths of signals, two conditions must be satisfied: (1) the amplitude of the signal of the self-interference cancellation path 1 at the frequency point f1 must be the same as the amplitude of the signal S23 at the frequency point f 1; (2) the phase of the signal of the self-interference cancellation path 1 at the frequency point f1 must be 180 degrees different from the phase of the signal of S23 at the frequency point f 1; when the signal of the self-interference cancellation path 1 satisfies these two conditions, the signal of the f1 frequency point in the S23 signal will be cancelled, and similarly, the same principle is adopted for the self-interference cancellation path 2 at the frequency point f2. When the signals of the two self-interference cancellation paths satisfy the relationship of the signals at f1 and f2, the signals at the two frequency points of f1 and f2 are cancelled by the signal S23, so that a high isolation effect with two cancellation points is formed. It is noted that, since the isolation degree generated by the space-time modulation is already about 26dB, the signal amplitudes of the two corresponding self-interference cancellation paths are extremely small, so that the introduction of the two self-interference cancellation path circuits has no or little influence on other performances of the overall architecture of the filter circulator, which can be demonstrated by the subsequent test results.
As shown in fig. 2, the circuit structure of the self-interference cancellation path is specifically: the two self-interference cancellation path circuits realize the amplitude regulation and control of self-interference cancellation signals through four varactors of a loaded external capacitor CkBs, ckBs, ckBss, ckBss; the phase of the two self-interference cancellation signals is regulated and controlled by controlling the grounded varactor CBs, CBs, CBss, CBss, and the amplitude-phase control circuit based on the non-resonance point has flexible reconfigurable performance, can flexibly regulate and control the phase of the circuit signal, and supports arbitrary regulation of 0-360 degrees so as to meet the requirement of canceling any phase of the signal in S23. In the same way, because of the high reconfigurable performance, the working center frequency point also has an adjusting function, and the performance of high isolation can be reconfigured, so that the performance of high isolation can be switched between broadband isolation (41 dB isolation with the bandwidth of 28 MHz) and narrowband isolation (isolation with the peak value exceeding 63 dB) at will, thereby realizing an adjustable isolation effect and meeting different communication requirements.
The application is realized by combining a micro-strip technology based on a varactor, the substrate material is Rogowski 6010, and the thickness is 1.27mm. The capacitors of the resonators R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are all realized by varactors to meet the adjustment of resonant frequency, the coupling capacitors are also realized by varactors, varactors of MA46202 type are selected, and varactors J0, J1 and J2 are varactors of MA46203 type.
And CkBs in the self-interference cancellation path 1 and the self-interference cancellation path 2 circuits adopt varactors of the model MAVR-01020-1411. CBs and CBss are varactors of MA46204 type, wherein the inductor is a 2.2nH patch inductor. The resistor is used for isolating DC and radio frequency signals, a large resistor of 100Kohm is selected, and 100PF isolation capacitors are further arranged in the circuit structures of the self-interference cancellation path 1 and the self-interference cancellation path 2.
In the embodiment of the application, the bias states of all the varactors are controlled by the externally applied bias voltage, and the capacitance value of the varactors can be changed by adjusting the magnitude of the externally applied bias voltage, so that the flexible reconstruction of the filter performance is realized. Specifically, 2 varactors CkBs and 2 varactors CkBs are used for controlling the amplitude of the self-interference signal, 2 varactors CBs and 2 varactors CBss are used for controlling the phase of the self-interference signal, and the 8 varactors can be flexibly controlled by only 4 bias voltages due to the symmetry of the self-cancellation circuit structure.

In the application, the proposed reconfigurable isolation effect has three different cases, namely:
case1: isolation due to space-time modulation and circuit topology introduction;
case2: the high isolation of the broadband is realized due to the influence of the self-interference cancellation circuit;
case3: due to the influence of the self-interference cancellation circuit, the narrow-band high isolation is realized;

fig. 6 shows the corresponding S-parameter test effect, in particular: fig. 6 (a) shows the path from the receiving end to the transmitting end, and this index is not practical because in practice the receiving end is not signal-inputted; mainly, fig. 6 (b) shows the isolation from the transmitting end to the receiving end, which is higher than the other two isolation characteristics under the effect of no self-interference cancellation circuit, namely, two isolation effects from the receiving end to the antenna end and from the antenna end to the transmitting end in fig. 4 (b) and 4 (d), which is the first improvement of the isolation due to the design of the circuit structure; FIG. 6 (c) shows the isolation from the transmitting end to the receiving end, which is a wideband high isolation under the action of a self-interference cancellation circuit operating at two different frequency points; fig. 6 (d) shows the isolation from the transmitting end to the receiving end, which is a narrow-band high isolation under the action of the self-interference cancellation circuit operating at two identical frequency points; showing the highly reconfigurable characteristic of the isolation, and the reconfigurable characteristic of the center frequency.
The application is based on the self-interference cancellation technology, by controlling the amplitude and the phase of the self-interference cancellation circuit (self-interference cancellation path 1 and self-interference cancellation path 2), the self-interference signal cancels the introduced signal, thereby realizing high isolation, and the working frequency of the cancellation point of the self-interference cancellation circuit can be reconfigured due to the reconfigurability of the self-interference cancellation circuit, thereby completing the reconfigurability of the position of the cancellation point and realizing the reconfigurability isolation performance Specifically, the filter circulator of the present application may be divided into the following advantages: (1) based on the self-interference cancellation technology, the high isolation between the transmitting end and the receiving end is realized, and a microwave filter circulator with reconfigurable isolation is designed and realized; (2) the amplitude-phase control circuit generates self-interference cancellation signals, namely a self-interference cancellation path 1 and a self-interference cancellation path 2, the signals of the circuit can be reconstructed, on the basis of realizing high isolation, the reconfigurable characteristic of the isolation can be realized by adjusting the amplitude-phase control circuit, the flexible and variable isolation performance can be realized, and the working mode of switching between broadband isolation and narrowband isolation can be completed; (3) the filter is integrated in a circulator and the center frequency of the filter is reconfigurable, thereby producing a reconfigurable filter circulator with a third order filter response, the center frequency of which is freely adjustable.
