Definitions
- the invention relates to a switch for the high frequency range according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such switches include an entrance gate and two Exit gates and cause one coupled into the entrance gate Radio frequency signal (RF signal) depending from a control signal, alternatively to one of the output gates can be switched.
- RF signal Radio frequency signal
- Such switches are used especially in radar technology used in and are used in so-called T / R modules Field of application also SPDT switch ("Single Pole Double Throw ").
- SPDT switches are for the high frequency range, e.g. B. designed the gigahertz (GHz) range.
- the article by G.H. Nesbit et. al. described switch for the high frequency range has one entrance and two exit gates as well as one active semiconductor element with which one at the entrance gate applied high-frequency signal either to one of the two output gates can be switched.
- the switch is connected to the entrance gate with a waveguide one input branch and two output branches connected, the output branches each one by switching diodes have switchable high-frequency filter.
- the Switching diodes are polarized in opposite directions, so that only a DC bias voltage is required to power the two switching diodes in opposite RF switching states, i.e. Passing or blocking state to switch.
- the invention has for its object a generic Switch to specify the most lossless possible Switching an RF signal with high power enables with the highest possible insulation in the locked Branch and between the exit gates is present and the can be produced in a cost-effective and reliable manner.
- a first advantage of the invention is that in the X-band range (about 10 GHz) a structure with a performance compatibility Greater than or equal to 20 watts with insertion loss in the connected branch with small equal to 1.0 dB, greater isolation in the blocked branch equal to 30 dB, insulation between the output gates 30 dB or more and a standing wave ratio VSWR at all gates less than or equal to 2: 1 is possible.
- a second advantage is that it is mechanically compact as well as robust construction in hybrid circuit technology is possible.
- a third advantage is that for switching required diodes, e.g. PIN diodes, not directly lie in the RF signal path. Because of that he can't blocking branch (switched through) with very low insertion loss a very high RF output, for example 25 W, lead.
- required diodes e.g. PIN diodes
- the figure shows an exemplary circuit arrangement, which on a substrate, e.g. B. a ceramic substrate for a frequency range of e.g. B. 8 GHz can be produced.
- the Arrangement contains a specified frequency range and the RF power to be switched adapted y-branched Waveguide, whose input branch EZ to the entrance gate TO is coupled and which is at a branch point P1 branches into the two output branches AZ1, AZ2.
- Everyone Output branch AZ1, AZ2 contains for the specified frequency range a switchable filter, e.g. a band or Low pass filter.
- the diodes exist D1 to D4 and D1 'to D4' are preferably made of PIN diodes for the specified HF range.
- Two diode quartets are created D1 to D4 and D1 'to D4'. Every diode quartet contains two diode pairs D1, D4 and D2, D3 or D1 ', D4' and D2 ', D3'. With each pair of diodes the associated diodes on opposite sides of the associated output waveguide. With every quartet of diodes are similar connections, e.g.
- Anodes connected to the associated output waveguide while the other connections (cathodes) at reference potential (Mass) lie.
- the diodes are opposite polarized so that depending on the switching voltage UB always a filter, e.g. B. in the output branch AZ1, in the Passband can be switched while the other Filters, e.g. B. in the output branch AZ2, in the locked state is switched.
- a filter e.g. B. in the output branch AZ1
- Filters e.g. B. in the output branch AZ2
- the RF power coupled into the EZ input branch is then advantageously almost lossless in the other output branch to the corresponding one Exit gate led.
- the switching voltage UB a DC voltage
- causes a direct current, which via filters L, C or L ', C' is supplied to the circuit points P2, P2 '.
- These are with the associated diode quartets over each a line S or S ', which at the same time a Filter determining component is coupled.
- the Switching points P2, P2 ' are grounded for the HF signal (capacitive short circuit).
- these circuit points can P2, P2 'via an inductive feed line (L, L') Control voltage for the diode quartets are applied.
- the arrangement described also has the advantage that by those present in the output branches AZ1, AZ2 switchable filter, the z. B. in a so-called quasi-lumped element design are executed in the RF signal on Input gate TO suppresses any harmonics present become.
- the frequency range of 8 GHz to 12 GHz is with the arrangement described an RF power of 20 watts or greater to be switched insertion loss of less than or equal in continuous operation 0.6 dB achievable (measured between an unlocked Exit gate and the entrance gate TO).
- the RF isolation in the blocked output branch greater than 35 dB.
- the RF isolation between the output gates T1, T2 is greater than 35 dB.
- T1, T2 is advantageous a very low standing wave ratio available, e.g. B. VSWR is less than or equal to 1.1: 1.
- the invention is not limited to the example described, but applicable to others.
- a specialist is familiar with each of them selected RF range a matched waveguide structure as well as corresponding switching diodes (diode quartets) to choose.
