Description

Fence gate formula filter
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of fence gate formula filter (Fence-gate filter), particularly relate to a kind of satellite frequency demultiplier (Low Noise Block down-converter that is mainly used in, LNB) less radio-frequency (Radio-Frequency, RF) mirror filter of circuit (image filter).
Background technology
Because the fast development of wireless telecommunications makes the research and development of communication element obtain very big business opportunity,, all cast considerable manpower and material resources and improved the communication quality of existing system in recent years no matter be industrial circle or academia.Because people constantly increase the demand of wireless communication frequency band, thus in the modern microwave communication system, particularly satellite and Mobile Communications system, its emission and receiving terminal often need the usefulness of high efficiency narrow-band bandpass filter as channel selection.With regard to filter, high efficiency promptly is meant high selectivity (selectivity) and is inserted into loss (insertion loss).The filter of high selectivity is fairly good to the inhibition ability of other wavestrip (side band), can dwindle the buffer zone (guard band) between adjacent channel, and the situation that frequency is used is more efficient.Yet existing widely used passive device more or less all contains the composition of loss, often causes the consume of transmission signal power, and promptly so-called insertion loss is lost if can reduce this, and the lifting of communication system medium sensitivity is had suitable benefiting.
Yet, from the viewpoint of Design of Filter, high selectivity and be inserted into that loss normally runs in the opposite direction.In traditional method for designing, can be by the exponent number that increases filter, just the number of resonator (resonator) promotes its selectivity, but often but must sacrifice the performance of passband, because (Quality Factor) is limited for the quality factor of resonator, if the resonator that passes through in the transmission path is many more, the passband loss that then causes is big more.Hence one can see that, and passband performance interior and that passband is outer checks and balance in fact, makes us at the different size designing filter time, and the between of having to is done some choice.
This shows that above-mentioned existing filter obviously still has inconvenience and defective, and demands urgently further being improved in structure and use.In order to solve the problem that filter exists, relevant manufacturer there's no one who doesn't or isn't seeks solution painstakingly, but do not see always that for a long time suitable design finished by development, and common product does not have appropriate structure to address the above problem, this obviously is the problem that the anxious desire of relevant dealer solves.
Because the defective that above-mentioned existing filter exists, the design people is based on being engaged in this type of product design manufacturing abundant for many years practical experience and professional knowledge, and the utilization of cooperation scientific principle, actively studied innovation, in the hope of founding a kind of fence gate formula filter of new structure, can improve general existing filter, make it have more practicality.Through constantly research, design, and after studying sample and improvement repeatedly, create the utility model that has practical value finally.
