Background technology
Developing rapidly of mobile communication makes traditional multi-access mode, as CDMA, and FDMA, TDMA etc. can not satisfy growing dilatation needs.Multi-beam antenna produces a plurality of fixing parallel wave beams that point to by Wave-packet shaping network, is used for covering whole user area, thereby reaches the purpose of dilatation.Wave-packet shaping network generally can be divided into two big classes: circuit class (being network class again) and quasi-optical lens class.Wherein, the circuit class is to constitute by transmission line connection power splitter and coupler.Producing the required phase shift of beam scanning can obtain by not isometric transmission line or special phase shifter, and the distribution of bore face amplitude is to be controlled by the merit branch rate of power splitter.Up to the present, two kinds of common circuit class Wave-packet shaping networks being arranged, is respectively Butler matrix and Blass matrix.The Butler matrix is present the most widely used circuit class Wave-packet shaping network.In general, compare with quasi-optical lens class, circuit class Wave-packet shaping network has more performance, but also has some shortcomings.Show as mainly that volume is huger, structure is complicated, when input branch road quantity more all the more so.At millimeter wave and submillimeter wave wave band,, will run into very big difficulty on the structural manufacturing process in single-mode system if contract than making the matrix form Wave-packet shaping network according to wavelength.Simultaneously, the complexity that mismachining tolerance also can limiting structure.In order to address these problems, we propose a kind of novel multimode Wave-packet shaping network, can well solve the problem that the traditional circuit class formation exists.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem: the purpose of this utility model provides a kind of millimeter wave frequency band multimode Wave-packet shaping network, realize the design of Ka frequency range and millimeter wave frequency band multimode Wave-packet shaping network with substrate integration wave-guide, and make it to have and the similar performance of classical matrix formula Wave-packet shaping network (as the Butler matrix), and volume compact (only be original half), cost of manufacture is low, produce in enormous quantities easily, easily and active circuit integrated.

The substrate integration wave-guide phase-shift network forms the substrate integration wave-guide with different in width by the position adjustments of plated-through hole, and its internal electromagnetic velocity of wave propagation of wide more substrate integration wave-guide is slow more, thereby realizes required phase-shift phase.This Wave-packet shaping network has 4 input ports and 4 output ports, can motivate the some groups of outputs with fixed skew and equal amplitude at delivery outlet respectively.
This Wave-packet shaping network has 4 input ports and 4 output ports.According to waveguide theory, can transmit the electromagnetic wave of different mode (as TE in guided wave structure formed at same section
10, TE
20...), and the transmission course of each pattern is relatively independent, is independent of each other.Utilize this principle,, the transmission coefficient of different transmission mode is regulated, finally produce the different phase differences and the output of constant amplitude at delivery outlet by the collision matrix analysis of network from different input port excitations.Simultaneously, adopt substrate integration wave-guide to realize the design of physical circuit, obtain better performance at Ka wave band and millimeter wave band.The Wave-packet shaping network that finally obtains is compared with traditional B utler matrix, and performance is approaching, and area only is original half.
Beneficial effect: the utlity model has following advantage:
1 :) when working in Ka frequency range and millimeter wave frequency band, have higher Q value and than low-loss with the form of planar circuit.Compare with the stereochemical structure of metal waveguide simultaneously, volume is little, in light weight, handling ease.
2 :) this Wave-packet shaping network compact conformation, only be half of traditional B utler matrix circuit area, but performance classes is seemingly with it.
