Definitions

  • the invention relates to microwave filters and more particularly to a microwave filter, with dielectric resonator, tunable over a large bandwidth.
  • microwave transmission equipment for military equipment for example, increasingly has to work successively on several tuning frequencies.
  • civilian fixed frequency transmission equipment can also be produced from standard tunable elements, tuning to the fixed working frequency being determined on site by adjusting these standard tunable elements.
  • the technical problem solved by the invention is the production of such tunable elements, in particular microwave filters, so that they keep determined characteristics in a tuning bandwidth as large as possible to cover with a given standard element. , a wide frequency band, without the characteristics of the element being degraded in this tuning band, in particular the response curve of the filter, the overvoltage coefficient, the coupling etc ...
  • the subject of the invention is a microwave filter with dielectric resonator, tunable over a large bandwidth, which satisfies these conditions.
  • a microwave filter with a dielectric resonator comprising a waveguide and at least one dielectric resonator coupled to the guide, is mainly characterized in that each resonator is double and comprises a first cylinder, made of dielectric material, fixed relative to the guide and having a planar end, and a second cylinder, of dielectric material, of dimensions equal to or close to those of the first cylinder, movable relative to the guide and having a planar end facing that of the first, the dielectric materials constituting the cylinders having dielectric constants of the order of 15 to 40, the distance between the two facing planar ends being variable and allowing the tuning of the filter in a bandwidth of the order of 5 to 15% of the central frequency d tuning of the filter according to the dielectric constants of the chosen materials.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a tunable notch filter according to the invention respectively in top view, cover removed, and in section, cover closed.
  • FIG. 3 represents a tunable bandpass filter according to the invention.
  • a microwave filter is calculated as a function of a certain number of parameters including the working frequency, the width of the transmission or cut-off band, depending on whether they are band-pass filters or tape cutter.
  • the bandwidth determines the number of poles of the filter, and this number determines the number of resonators arranged along the direction of propagation as well as their spacing.
  • the resonators can be made of a dielectric material with a high dielectric constant but whose dimensions are stable as a function of the temperature. If this were not the case, the characteristics would be highly dependent on the temperature; what to avoid as much as possible.
  • the material must be of high dielectric constant for the effect of the resonator to be sufficient while keeping the dimensions fairly small, which makes it possible to limit the bulk of the materials.
  • the tuning frequency is adjusted for each resonator by a dielectric element, of dimensions close to those of the fixed element facing it, arranged at a variable distance from the first, the assembly forming the resonator.
  • the displacement of this second element modifies the tuning frequency and makes it possible to cover a wide band.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a notch filter according to the invention; respectively in top view, cover removed, and in section, cover closed.
  • the housing 1 contains a coaxial line 2.
  • An input plug 3 and an output plug, 4, are fixed to the housing, the coaxial line 2 being connected to these two plugs.
  • Each resonator comprises a fixed element 5, consisting of a dielectric patch, placed at a certain distance from the coaxial line (these fixed elements being the only ones visible on the first view) glued to the bottom of the housing on a patch or a support washer such that 6.
  • mobile dielectric elements 8 roughly similar to the first come opposite the fixed dielectric elements such as 5.
  • Adjustment supports such as 9, associated with nuts 10, accessible on the outside of the cover 7, make it possible to vary the depression of these mobile dielectric elements, and therefore the distance d between the fixed element 5, and the mobile element, 8 forming the resonator.
  • the adjustment supports can be of any kind, metallic, dielectric, since they do not influence the propagation in the line from which they are quite far apart.
  • the line length s between resonators is a function of the wavelength: where n is an integer.
  • Such a filter works in the following manner.
  • the input plug is directly connected to the coaxial line 2, and excites the line following the coaxial TEM mode.
  • the housing is only used to position relative to this line the resonators which disturb the field lines by the effect of the plug circuits brought in series on the transmission line: the coupling of the resonator to this coaxial line of characteristic impedance, Z , brings back to the frequency.
  • the cross section of the dielectric patch d may be equal to, less than or greater than that of the fixed patch, the elements remaining roughly similar and of similar dimensions, as indicated above, the penetration necessary for a given variation of the tuning frequency can be adjusted.
  • the relative dimensions of these two elements are therefore not always critical. Similarly, the axial alignment of these two elements does not have to be achieved with great precision.
  • the movable tuning element made of a dielectric material like the fixed element, has a great influence on the characteristics of the resonator thus produced with the fixed element and the mobile element.
  • the frequency variation that can be obtained is of the order of 10% of the central frequency of the strip for a small stroke, of the same order as the stroke of the metal screws in agreement with the prior devices for which the frequency variation could only be of the order of 1% of the central frequency.
  • FIG. 3 represents a bandpass microwave filter, tunable over a large bandwidth, according to the invention.
  • the filter is made with dielectric resonators, the number of which determines the number of poles of the filter before a strong dielectric constant.
  • the propagation mode is a TM 11 mode, guided in the microwave circuit formed by a box provided with its cover.
  • the filter comprises a housing 10, an input dipole 30 and an output dipole 40. It also includes resonators, four in the figure, consisting of a fixed dielectric element, and a movable dielectric element.
  • the mobile elements are carried by rods also made of dielectric material, a5; accessible outside the housing by adjustment screws 90, blocked by nuts 100.
  • the input signal excites the magnetic dipole mode of the dielectric resonator closest to the input line. Transmission is carried out step by step by coupling the magnetic field lines from a dielectric resonator to the next resonator by evanescent waves, up to the output line.
  • the coupling coefficient between two consecutive resonators is a function of the distance S which separates you.
  • each resonator is in practice made up of the fixed dielectric element 5, of the mobile dielectric element which faces it, 8, and of the dielectric support rod to which the latter is linked.
  • the tuning frequency of this resonator depends on the distance d which separates the facing elements.
  • D the diameter of the cylinders and h their height
  • the variation in the tuning frequency will be all the greater the lower the height of the movable cylinder.
  • the variation in tuning frequency with respect to the center frequency of the tuning band can be of the order of 10% to 15%.
  • the dimensions of the dielectric material elements and the spacing of the resonators are chosen so that the overvoltage coefficient remains high. This is how D / s should, if possible, vary between 0.3 and 1.
  • the dielectric material chosen to constitute the resonators has as large a dielectric constant as possible, the limitation being generally imposed by the temperature resistance, so that the resonators can have as small a volume as possible taking into account the required performance (high working frequencies in the frequency bands 3.8 to 4.2 GHz and 6.4 to 7.1 GHz).
  • the variation in tuning frequency with respect to the central frequency of the band does not always need to be of the order of 10%.
  • this variation of the tuning frequency does not have to exceed 5%, it is possible to very significantly reduce the bandwidth variations due to modifications of the tuning frequency, for this the dielectric constant of the mobile elements is chosen between 15 and 20 and no longer of the order of 40, on the other hand the dielectric constant of the fixed elements remains of the order of 40; thus the disturbance brought into the electromagnetic field around the fixed elements of the resonators by the approach of the mobile elements is reduced.
  • each resonator then comprises a fixed dielectric element and a mobile dielectric element separated by a variable distance to modify the tuning frequency.
