Definitions
- the invention relates to a strip line coupler for integrated high-frequency circuits with a plurality of coupled strip conductor tracks in a spiral shape with a closely adjacent course, the length of which is divided into two coupler halves and each coupler half is applied to a dielectric substrate.
- a coupler is known from US Pat. No. 3,999,150.
- the invention has for its object to provide a simple stripline coupler with good insulation in its construction.
- FIG. 1 shows a top view of one half of a coupler with a quadruple stripline structure.
- the four conductor tracks L1, L2, L3 and L4 are applied on a dielectric substrate S1, for example Al2O3 ceramic on the front in strip line technology in a closely adjacent course to one another in a rectangular spiral shape.
- the back of the substrate S1 is metallized over the entire surface.
- metallized contacting areas 1 to 7 for contacting with connection elements (not shown in the figure) are applied, which, for example, with a pincer-shaped end region, enclose the substrate on the long side and rest in contact on the metallization areas.
- the conductor tracks L1 and L3 are guided to the contacting area 1, the conductor tracks L2 and L4 via a connecting line 10 to the contacting area 3.
- the line ends of the conductor tracks L2 and L4 are connected via the plated-through holes 8 and 9 and a connecting line 15 applied to the rear of the substrate within a recess 17 of the metallization.
- the line ends located in the inner region of the spiral are plated through-holes 11, 12, 13 and 14 to the rear of the substrate S1, the entire surface metallization of the rear surface having a corresponding cutout 16 in the area of these holes.
- the second coupler half is constructed in accordance with the conductor structure shown in FIG. 1.
- the substrate S2 carrying the second coupler half is placed with its metallized side on the metallized side of the first substrate S1 and connected in a contacting manner (cf. the illustration in FIG. 2).
- the outer ends of the conductor tracks are on the right-hand side and, in the same way as in the first half of the coupler, are led to the contacting areas 5 and 7.
- a bundle is defined as the number of conductor tracks of the coupler. In the exemplary embodiment shown, these are four conductor tracks, but any other number is also possible. This distance s between adjacent conductor bundles is equal to the distance of the conductor paths within a conductor bundle.
- Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a coupler with 2-fold stripline structure in a planar arrangement.
- the two halves of the coupler are wound in a spiral Instead of back to back arranged planar, ie adjacent on the same side of a substrate S3, the back of which is metallized over the entire surface.
- the conductor tracks L5, L6 and L7, L8 of the two coupler halves which are applied in a rectangular spiral shape, are wound in the same direction, counterclockwise in the exemplary embodiment.
- the line ends located in the inner region of the spiral are connected to one another via bond connections 18, 19, this again taking place in such a way that the outer strip conductor L5 or L7 of one coupler half is connected to the inner strip conductor L6 or L8 of the other coupler half.
- the total lengths of both strip conductors of the coupler are therefore the same.
- the distance s between the two coupler halves is equal to the distance between the conductor tracks within a conductor track bundle.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Streifenleitungskoppler für integrierte Hochfrequenzschaltkreise mit mehreren gekoppelten Streifenleiterbahnen in Spiralform mit eng benachbartem Verlauf zueinander, die in ihrer Länge in zwei Kopplerhälften aufgeteilt sind und jede Kopplerhälfte auf einem dielektrischen Substrat aufgebracht ist. Ein solcher Koppler ist durch die US-PS 3 999 150 bekannt.The invention relates to a strip line coupler for integrated high-frequency circuits with a plurality of coupled strip conductor tracks in a spiral shape with a closely adjacent course, the length of which is divided into two coupler halves and each coupler half is applied to a dielectric substrate. Such a coupler is known from US Pat. No. 3,999,150.
Ferner ist eine Kopplerstruktur mit seitengekoppelten mehrfachen Streifenleitungen in der DE-OS 28 39 874 beschrieben. Eine solche Kopplerstruktur besitzt jedoch eine unzureichende Isolation, bedingt durch die unterschiedliche Länge der spiralförmig angeordneten Leiterbahnen. Dabei kann bei entsprechend großer Wicklungszahl der äußere Streifenleiter erheblich länger sein als der innere Streifenleiter. Durch die unterschiedlichen Streifenleiterlängen entstehen an den Koppler-Ein/Ausgängen unerwünschte Reflexionen, welche die Isolation insbesondere im hohen Frequenzbereich stark herabsetzen.Furthermore, a coupler structure with side-coupled multiple strip lines is described in DE-OS 28 39 874. However, such a coupler structure has insufficient insulation due to the different lengths of the spirally arranged conductor tracks. With a correspondingly large number of windings, the outer strip conductor can be considerably longer than the inner strip conductor. Due to the different stripline lengths, undesired reflections occur at the coupler inputs / outputs, which greatly reduce the insulation, especially in the high frequency range.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen in seinem Aufbau einfachen Streifenleitungskoppler mit guter Isolation zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a simple stripline coupler with good insulation in its construction.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Streifenleitungskoppler der eingangs beschriebenen Art und gemäß den kennzeichnenden Mermale der Ansprüche 1 oder 3 gelöst.This object is achieved with a stripline coupler of the type described in the introduction and in accordance with the characterizing features of

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer Draufsicht eine Hälfte eines Kopplers mit 4-facher Streifenleiterstruktur. Dabei sind auf einem dielektrischen Substrat S1, beispielsweise Al₂O₃ -Keramik auf der Vorderseite die vier Leiterbahnen L1, L2, L3 und L4 in Streifenleitungstechnik in eng benachbartem Verlauf zueinander in rechteckförmiger Spiralform aufgebracht. Die Rückseite des Substrats S1 ist ganzflächig metallisiert. Entlang der Längsseite des Substrats S1 sind metallisierte Kontaktierungsflächen 1 bis 7 zur Kontaktierung mit Anschlußelementen (in der Fig. nicht dargestellt) aufgebracht, die mit ihrem beispielsweise zangenförmig ausgebildeten Endbereich das Substrat an der Längsseite umschließen und kontaktierend auf den Metallisierungsflächen aufliegen. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Leiterbahnen L1 und L3 an die Kontaktierungsfläche 1, die Leiterbahnen L2 und L4 über eine Anschlußleitung 10 an die Kontaktierungsfläche 3 geführt. Die Verbindung der Leitungsenden der Leiterbahnen L2 und L4 erfolgt dabei über die Durchkontaktierungen 8 und 9 und eine an der Rückseite des Substrats innerhalb einer Aussparung 17 der Metallisierung aufgebrachten Verbindungsleitung 15.1 shows a top view of one half of a coupler with a quadruple stripline structure. The four conductor tracks L1, L2, L3 and L4 are applied on a dielectric substrate S1, for example Al₂O₃ ceramic on the front in strip line technology in a closely adjacent course to one another in a rectangular spiral shape. The back of the substrate S1 is metallized over the entire surface. Along the long side of the substrate S1, metallized
Die im Innenbereich der Spirale liegenden Leitungsenden sind über Durchkontaktierungen 11, 12, 13 und 14 zur Rückseite des Substrats S1 durchkontaktiert, wobei im Bereich dieser Durchkontaktierungen die ganzflächige Metallisierung der Rückseite eine entsprechende Aussparung 16 aufweist.The line ends located in the inner region of the spiral are plated through-
Die zweite Kopplerhälfte ist entsprechend der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Leiterstruktur aufgebaut. In einer um 180° um die parallel zur Schmalseite des Substrats verlaufende Mittelachse M gedrehten Lage wird das die zweite Kopplerhälfte tragende Substrat S2 mit seiner metallisierten Seite auf die metallisierte des ersten Substrats S1 aufgelegt und kontaktierend verbunden (vgl. hierzu die Darstellung in Fig. 2). Bei dem in der Figur unten liegenden Substrat S2 befinden sich die äußeren Leitungsenden der Leiterbahnen an der rechten Seite und sind in entsprechender Weise wie bei der ersten Kopplerhälfte an die Kontaktierungsflächen 5 und 7 geführt. Durch die Drehung des zweiten Substrats S2 um 180° gegenüber dem ersten Substrat S1 ergibt sich für die im Innenbereich der Spirale liegenden Leitungsenden eine solche Lage, daß die den Leitungsenden zugehörigen Durchkontaktierungen 11 bis 14 beider Kopplerhälften einander in umgekehrter Reihenfolge gegenüberliegen. Das bedeutet also, daß die Leiterbahn L1 der ersten Kopplerhälfte mit der Leiterbahn L4 der zweiten Kopplerhälfte verbunden ist und in entsprechender Weise die Leiterbahnen L2, L3 und L4 der ersten Kopplerhälfte mit den Leiterbahnen L3, L2 und L1 der zweiten Kopplerhälfte verbunden sind. Durch die derart vorgenommene Verbindung der Leiterbahnen der beiden Kopplerhälften wird erreicht, daß insgesamt jede der vier spiralförmig aufgewickelten Leiterbahnen gleich lang ist, wodurch sich eine hohe Isolation ergibt.The second coupler half is constructed in accordance with the conductor structure shown in FIG. 1. In a 180 ° around the parallel to the narrow side of the central axis M, the substrate S2 carrying the second coupler half is placed with its metallized side on the metallized side of the first substrate S1 and connected in a contacting manner (cf. the illustration in FIG. 2). In the case of the substrate S2 in the figure below, the outer ends of the conductor tracks are on the right-hand side and, in the same way as in the first half of the coupler, are led to the contacting areas 5 and 7. The rotation of the second substrate S2 by 180 ° with respect to the first substrate S1 results in a position for the line ends lying in the inner region of the spiral such that the
Durch die Aufteilung der Leiterbahnen in zwei Kopplerhälften, die masseseitig zusammengefügt sind, ergibt sich auch ein sehr platzsparender Aufbau des Kopplers. Dieser Vorteil wird zusätzlich noch verbessert durch den geringen gegenseitigen Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Leiterbahnbündeln. Ein Bündel ist dabei definiert als Anzahl der Leiterbahnen des Kopplers. Dies sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel vier Leiterbahnen, jedoch ist auch eine beliebig andere Anzahl möglich. Dieser Abstand s zwischen benachbarten Leiterbahnbündeln ist gleich dem Abstand der Leiterbahnen innerhalb eines Leiterbahnbündels.The division of the conductor tracks into two coupler halves which are joined together on the ground side also results in a very space-saving construction of the coupler. This advantage is further improved by the small mutual distance between two adjacent conductor bundles. A bundle is defined as the number of conductor tracks of the coupler. In the exemplary embodiment shown, these are four conductor tracks, but any other number is also possible. This distance s between adjacent conductor bundles is equal to the distance of the conductor paths within a conductor bundle.
Fig. 3 zeigt in einer schematischen Darstellung einen Koppler mit 2-facher Streifenleiterstruktur in planarer Anordnung. Dabei sind die beiden spiralförmig aufgewickelten Kopplerhälften statt Rückseite an Rückseite planar angeordnet, d. h. benachbart auf der selben Seite eines Substrats S3, dessen Rückseite ganzflächig metallisiert ist. Die in rechteckförmiger Spiralform aufgebrachten Leiterbahnen L5, L6 und L7, L8 der beiden Kopplerhälften sind in derselben Richtung aufgewickelt, im Ausführungsbeispiel entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn. Die im Innenbereich der Spirale liegenden Leitungsenden sind über Bondverbindungen 18, 19 miteinander verbunden, wobei dies wiederum in der Weise erfolgt, daß der äußere Streifenleiter L5 bzw. L7 der einen Kopplerhälfte mit dem inneren Streifenleiter L6 bzw. L8 der anderen Kopplerhälfte verbunden ist. Damit sind die Gesamtlängen beider Streifenleiter des Kopplers gleich. Der Abstand s zwischen den beiden Kopplerhälften ist gleich dem Abstand der Leiterbahnen innerhalb eines Leiterbahnbündels.Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a coupler with 2-fold stripline structure in a planar arrangement. The two halves of the coupler are wound in a spiral Instead of back to back arranged planar, ie adjacent on the same side of a substrate S3, the back of which is metallized over the entire surface. The conductor tracks L5, L6 and L7, L8 of the two coupler halves, which are applied in a rectangular spiral shape, are wound in the same direction, counterclockwise in the exemplary embodiment. The line ends located in the inner region of the spiral are connected to one another via
