Abstract

Temp. compensation is provided for a hollow resonator. The cavity resonator (1), typically of brass, contains a ceramic rod (2) for tuning. The compensating element (6) is a thin walled ceramic tube, typically a few tenths of a millimetre wall thickness, attached to a metal carrier (7). The latter is normally a screw to allow accurate positioning for optimum temp. compensation. The tube gives a high ratio between compensation effect and electrical detuning of the resonator. Also the small active volume of the ceramic tube projecting into the cavity results in low losses and a negligible deterioration in quality. The effects of distortion only arise above 10GHz as the thin walls are not suited to dielectric conduction.

Description

Mikrowellen-Netzwerk mit einer TemperaturkompensationMicrowave network with temperature compensation

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Netzwerk mit frequenzbestimmenden Resonanzkreisen, die Kompensationselemente zur Kompensation des .Temperaturkoeffizienten enthalten.The invention relates to a network with frequency-determining Resonance circles, the compensation elements to compensate for the temperature coefficient contain.

Bei Oszillatoren, Resonatoren , Frequenzdiskriminatoren, Filtern und ähnlichen Netzwerken mit toleranzbehafteten Temperaturkoeffizienten besteht das Problem, in einfacher Weise eine sehr genaue Temperaturkompensation der frequenzbestimmenden Schwingkreise zu erreichen. Bei der Temperaturkompensation durch Verbindung von Materialien verschiedener Längenausdehnung, z.B. mit Bimetallstreifen, oder mit Materialien verschiedener Wärmeausdehnung ist, abgesehen von einem zum Teil hohen mechanischen Aufwand, kein Ausgleich von TK-Toleranzen möglich. Dasselbe trifft für die Kompensation mit Keramiken verschiedener Temperaturkoeffizienten zu. Die Lösung, Frequenzkonstanz durch Materialien kleinster Wärmeausdehnung zu erreichen, wie Hohlraumresonatoren für Oszillatoren, Filter usw. aus Superinvar oder LC-Resonanzkreise mit Invarspulen erfordert hohe Herstellungskosten und besitzt für viele Anwendungen nicht die ausreichende Temperaturabhängigkeit.With oscillators, resonators, frequency discriminators, filters and There are similar networks with temperature coefficients subject to tolerances Problem, in a simple way, a very precise temperature compensation of the frequency-determining To achieve resonant circles. With temperature compensation by connecting Materials of different length expansion, e.g. with bimetal strips, or with Materials of different thermal expansion is, apart from a partly high one mechanical effort, no compensation of TK tolerances possible. Same thing happens for compensation with ceramics of different temperature coefficients. the Solution, frequency constancy through materials with minimal thermal expansion to achieve such as cavity resonators for oscillators, filters, etc. from superinvar or LC resonance circuits with invar coils requires high manufacturing costs and possesses insufficient temperature dependence for many applications.

(Aktenz.: P 27 40 294.4) ist eine Lösung für die Kompensierung positiver oder negativer Temperaturkoeffizienten angegeben, wonach die Kompensationselemente aus wenigstens einem dielektrischen oder magnetischen Körper mit positivem oder negativem Temperaturkoeffizienten bestehen, die im magnetischen oder elektrischen Feld des Resonanzkreises derart einstellbar angeordnet sind, daß der Temperaturkoeffizient des Resonanzkreises einschließlich gegebenenfalls angeschlossener aktiver und passiver Bauteile durch Frequenzverstimmung beliebig genau kompensierbar ist.In the main patent ... ... (file: P 27 40 294.4) is a solution specified for the compensation of positive or negative temperature coefficients, after which the compensation elements consist of at least one dielectric or magnetic Bodies with positive or negative temperature coefficients exist in the magnetic or the electric field of the resonance circuit are arranged adjustable in such a way that the temperature coefficient of the resonance circuit including any connected Active and passive components can be compensated for as precisely as required by means of frequency detuning is.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Netzwerk nach dem Hauptpatent hinsichtlich der Temperaturkompensation insbesondere für einen Hohlraumresonator zu verbessern.The invention is based on the object of the network according to the main patent with regard to temperature compensation, especially for a cavity resonator to improve.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung in der Weise gelöst, daß die Kompensationselemente aus einem dünnwandigen, hohlzylindrischen Teil (Röhrchen) aus keramischem Material bestehen, das in einem Führungselement befestigt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in such a way that the Compensation elements made from a thin-walled, hollow-cylindrical part (tube) consist of ceramic material which is fastened in a guide element.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist vorgesehen, daß die Wandstärke des Röhrchens einige Zehntel Millimeter beträgt, daß das keramische Material eine N 470-Keramik ist. und daß das Führungselement aus einem metallischen Gewindestift besteht, mit dem das Röhrchen durch Weichlöten oder Kitten verbunden ist.In an advantageous embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the wall thickness of the tube is a few tenths of a millimeter, that the ceramic Material is an N 470 ceramic. and that the guide element consists of a metallic There is a threaded pin with which the tube is connected by soft soldering or cement is.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated below with the aid of one in the drawing Embodiment explained in more detail.

Es zeigen Fig. 1 einen Halbleiteroszillator mit einem Hohlraumresonator und einem in diesen eintauchenden Kompensationselement und Fig. 2 das Kompensationselement in einer Einzeldarstellung.1 shows a semiconductor oscillator with a cavity resonator and a compensation element immersed in this, and FIG. 2 shows the compensation element in a single representation.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Halbleiteroszillator enthält als frequenzbestimmendes Element einen Hohlraumresonator 1, der mit einem in eine stirnseitige Bohrung des Resonatortopfes eingesetzten Keramikstift 2 in seiner Frequenz einstellbar ist. Im Innenraum des Resonators ist auf der bodenseitigen Platte 8 ein Halbleiterelement 3, beispielsweise ein Transistor angeordnet, dessen Spannungszuführungen 5, beispielsweise I)urchführungskondensatoren oder -filter, in die Bodenplatte 8 eingesetzt sind. Sowohl das aktive Element 3 mit seiner Ankopplung wie auch der Resonator 1, der beispielsweise aus Messing besteht, der Keramikftift 2 und auch die Leistungsauskopplung 4 bestimmen die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Oszillatorfrequenz, und zwar einerseits durch die unterschiedlichen temperaturabhängigen Längen- und Lageänderungen, andererseits durch die temperaturabhängige Impedanzänderung des aktiven Elementes. Die Temperaturkompensation erfolgt mit einem in den Innenraum des Hohlraumresonators 1 eintauchenden, in seiner Eintauchtiefe einstellbaren Kompensationselement 6 aus dielektrischem Material. Mit ihm kann die Frequenz des Oszillators sehr fein innerhalb eines ausreichenden Frequenzbereichs geändert werden.The semiconductor oscillator shown in Fig. 1 contains as a frequency-determining Element has a cavity resonator 1, which is connected to a bore in the end face of the Resonator pot inserted ceramic pin 2 is adjustable in frequency. In the interior of the resonator, a semiconductor element is on the bottom plate 8 3, for example a transistor arranged, the voltage supply lines 5, for example I) bushing capacitors or filters into which the base plate 8 is inserted. Both the active element 3 with its coupling and the resonator 1, the for example made of brass, the ceramic pin 2 and also the power output 4 determine the temperature dependence of the oscillator frequency, on the one hand due to the different temperature-dependent changes in length and position, on the other hand due to the temperature-dependent change in impedance of the active element. The temperature compensation takes place with a dipping into the interior of the cavity resonator 1 in its Immersion depth adjustable compensation element 6 made of dielectric material. With it, the frequency of the oscillator can be very fine within a sufficient Frequency range can be changed.

Das Kompensationselement 6 besteht aus einem dünnwandigen Röhrchen aus N 470-Keramik, das in einem metalli- schen Schraubfuß 7 befestigt, beispielsweise weichgelötet oder gekitten ist. Die Wandstärke des Röhrchens beträgt einige Zehntel Millimeter.The compensation element 6 consists of a thin-walled tube made of N 470 ceramic, which is in a metallic between screw foot 7 attached, for example, is soldered or cemented. The wall thickness of the tube is a few tenths of a millimeter.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung des Kompensationselementes 6 hat folgende Vorteile: Es ergibt sich ein hohes Verhältnis von Kompensationswirknng zu elektrischer Verstimmung des Resonators, d.h. eine den Zusammenhang zwischen der Frequenzverstimmung und dem Temperaturkoeffizienten darstellende Kennlinie verläuft mit großer Steigung. Dies wird einerseits durch ein großes Verhältnis des negativen Temperaturkoeffizienten der Keramik (TK = - 470 10#6/K) zur Dielektrizitätszahl bestimmt, andererseits durch die geringe Wandstärke des Kermikröhrchens und die dadurch bedingte hohe Wirksamkeit wegen einer guten Felddurchdringung der Keramik, die ansonsten wegen der relativ hohen Dielektrizitätszahl von ca. 50 nämlich nur beschränkt möglich ist. Durch das geringe Volumen der in den Resonator eintauchenden verlustarmen Keramik ergibt sich nur eine vernachlässibare Verminderung der Resonatorgüte. Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung des Kompensationselementes besteht darin, daß Störresonanzen (Eigenrsonanzen) des Kompensationselementes erst oberhalb 10 GHz auftreten, da der dünnwandige Querschnitt des Keramikröhrchens zur dielektrischen Leitung einer Welle ungeeignet ist.The embodiment of the compensation element 6 according to the invention has the following Advantages: There is a high ratio of compensation effect to electrical Detuning the resonator, i.e. the relationship between the frequency detuning and the characteristic curve representing the temperature coefficient has a steep slope. On the one hand, this is due to a large ratio of the negative temperature coefficient of the ceramic (TK = -470 10 # 6 / K) for the dielectric constant, on the other hand by the small wall thickness of the ceramic tube and the resulting high effectiveness because of the good field penetration of the ceramic, otherwise because of the relatively high dielectric constant of approx. 50 is only possible to a limited extent. By the low volume of the low-loss ceramic immersed in the resonator results only a negligible reduction in the resonator quality. Another benefit of the embodiment of the compensation element according to the invention is that interference resonances (Eigenrsonanzen) of the compensation element only occur above 10 GHz, since the thin-walled cross-section of the ceramic tube for dielectric conduction of a wave is unsuitable.
