The motor paste of the first intermediate electrode, the input end electrode and the output end electrode can be gold electrode or silver palladium electrode. Since the working frequency in the embodiment of the application is generally about 30GHz, gold electrodes can be selected. Meanwhile, the length of the first intermediate electrode can be generally 0.6-1.2 mm, and the working frequency range of the temperature compensation attenuator can be correspondingly adjusted by adjusting the length of the first intermediate electrode. Wherein, the substrate 100 can be 96 ceramics with the thickness of 0.25mm, the length and the width of the substrate 100 can be 3.0mm, and the width of the substrate can be 1.7mm. The electrode paste of the grounding terminal 300 may be silver palladium electrode, so as to play a role of the grounding terminal of the microwave microstrip line.
In addition, in the embodiment of the application, the attenuation of the temperature compensation attenuator is 2dB at 18-32 GHz, the first thermistor and the second thermistor are thick film thermistors with negative temperature coefficients, the resistance values of the first thermistor and the second thermistor are all preferably 15 ohms, and the effective lengths of the first thermistor and the second thermistor are preferably 0.10 mm. Meanwhile, for moisture and oxidation prevention, the first intermediate electrode and the upper parts of the two thermistors may be covered with a resin.

As shown in fig. 3, illustratively, at least two thermistors 200 include a third thermistor, a fourth thermistor, and a fifth thermistor, and at least one intermediate electrode 400 includes a second intermediate electrode and a third intermediate electrode.
The two ends of the second intermediate electrode are respectively and electrically connected with one end of the third thermistor and one end of the fourth thermistor, and the two ends of the third intermediate electrode are respectively and electrically connected with the other end of the fourth thermistor and one end of the fifth thermistor.

The widths of the two intermediate electrodes and the three thermistors can be selected to be 0.25-0.37 mm, preferably 0.25mm. The width is generally preferably the width of the 50 ohm microstrip line, but is not limited to the width of the 50 ohm microstrip line, and the width of the microstrip line can be appropriately adjusted according to the thermal sensitive material selected. The motor paste of the second intermediate electrode, the third intermediate electrode, the input end electrode and the output end electrode can be gold electrodes or silver palladium electrodes. In the embodiment of the application, the working frequency is generally about 30GHz, so that a gold electrode is selected. The lengths of the second intermediate electrode and the third intermediate electrode can be the same or different, and the working frequency range of the temperature compensation attenuator can be adjusted.
Meanwhile, the lengths of the second intermediate electrode and the third intermediate electrode can be generally selected to be 0.6-1.1 mm, the lengths of the second intermediate electrode and the third intermediate electrode can be selected to be 1.0mm, the third thermistor and the fifth thermistor can be selected to be Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors with the resistance value of 28 ohms, and the fourth thermistor can be selected to be Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors with the resistance value of 38.5 ohms. The third thermistor, the fourth thermistor and the fifth thermistor can be processed by adopting a thick film process, and the resistance value of the thick film thermistor can be accurately adjusted by laser group adjustment, but if the group adjustment is excessive, the microwave frequency characteristic is affected, so that the group adjustment is as little as possible, or the group adjustment is not performed, and the desired resistance value is realized directly by the thick film process. The substrate 100 may be 96 ceramic with a thickness of 0.25mm, the length of the substrate 100 may be 3.0mm, and the width of the substrate 100 may be 1.7mm.

The effective length of the third thermistor, the fourth thermistor and the fifth thermistor is preferably 0.12 mm. Meanwhile, for the purpose of moisture resistance and oxidation resistance, resin can be covered above the two middle electrodes and the three thermistors.
Illustratively, the resistance of the third thermistor is equal to the resistance of the fifth thermistor.
In this embodiment of the present application, the resistance of the third thermistor and the resistance of the fifth thermistor may be set equal, so as to form a temperature compensation attenuator with two symmetrical sides, where the input end and the output end are also symmetrically set and may be replaced with each other.
Fig. 4 is a graph of attenuation versus frequency for different temperature conditions of the temperature compensated attenuator according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the middle curve is the test result of the temperature compensation attenuator of 6dB at normal temperature of 25 ℃; when the temperature is increased to 85 ℃, the attenuation amount is reduced, namely, the attenuation amount is reduced when the temperature is normal; when the temperature is reduced to-40 ℃, the attenuation amount is increased, namely, when the temperature is reduced to minus temperature, the attenuation amount is increased, so that the attenuation amount of the temperature compensation attenuator is reduced along with the increase of the temperature, and along with the decrease of the temperature, the attenuation amount is increased, and the attenuation amount is opposite to the temperature drift characteristic of the whole system circuit, so that the loss of the whole circuit caused by temperature drift in the working environment can be effectively compensated, and the stability of the whole system is improved.
Exemplary, embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device including a temperature compensated attenuator.
In the embodiment of the application, the temperature compensation attenuator can be installed in electronic equipment, and a multi-stage microstrip line is formed by at least two thermistors and a grounding end, so that the effect of temperature compensation can be realized without too many electronic devices, and the cost is lower.
