Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bandpaßfilter aus n Hohlleiter-Resonatoren (n ≥ 2), von denen die jeweils benachbarten über ein gemeinsames Koppelblech mechanisch miteinander verbunden und elektrisch über Koppelschlitze gekoppelt sind und der erste sowie der n-te Resonator durch je ein Endblech verschlossen sind.The invention relates to a bandpass filter made of n waveguide resonators (n ≥ 2), each of which is adjacent via a common coupling plate mechanically connected and are electrically coupled via coupling slots and the the first and the nth resonator each closed by an end plate are.

Solche Bandpaßfilter sind bekannt, haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß die einzelnen Rohrabschnitte über aufwendige und teure Flansch-Konstruktionen miteinander verbunden bzw. verschlossen sind, zumal solche Bandnaßfilter von in den normalen Fernsehbändern (f < 1 GHz) arbeitenden (digitalen) Fernsehsendern genutzt werden und daher sehr groß sind.Such bandpass filters are known, but have the disadvantage that that the individual pipe sections over complex and expensive flange constructions connected or are closed, especially since such wet band filters from in the normal television bands (f <1 GHz) working (digital) TV channels are used and are therefore very large.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Bandpaßfilter mit einer im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik kostengünstigeren Verbindungskonstruktion für die Resonatoren zu schaffen.The invention has for its object a bandpass filter with a cheaper compared to the prior art To create a connecting structure for the resonators.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß jeder der Rohrabschnitte aus einem längsgeschweißten Blech besteht, daß die Endbleche und das mindestens eine Koppelblech an ihrem Umfang Laschen haben, die auf den jeweiligen Rohrabschnitt bzw. die benachbarten Rohrabschnitte umgebogen und mit diesem/diesen verschweißt sind, und daß die Stöße zwischen den Endblechen sowie dem mindestens einen Koppelblech einerseits und dem jeweiligen Rohrabschnitt andererseits verlötet sind.According to the invention the object is achieved in that everyone the pipe sections consist of a longitudinally welded sheet, that the end plates and the at least one coupling plate have tabs on their circumference, which on the respective pipe section or the adjacent pipe sections bent and are welded to this / these, and that the joints between the end plates and the at least one coupling plate on the one hand and the respective pipe section on the other are soldered.

Ein solches Bandpaßfilter ist kostengünstig herzustellen, trotzdem stabil und weist einen geringen Übergangswiderstand zwischen den einzelnen Rohrabschnitten auf. Die hohe Stabilität wird durch das Verschweißen der Rohrabschnitte mit den Koppelblechen bzw. mit dem Endblech und dem Koppelblech erreicht. Der niedrige Übergangswiderstand zwischen den einzelnen Rohrabschnitten und den quer zur Mittelachse angeordneten Blechen (Endbleche und Koppelbleche) wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Bleche und der jeweilige Rohrabschnitt an den Stößen verlötet sind. Teure Flansche sind nicht mehr erforderlich. Die gleichen Vorteile ergeben sich auch bei einem Dualmode-Bandpaßfilter mit nur einem Resonator, der dann keine Koppel- sondern nur zwei Endbleche hat.Such a bandpass filter is inexpensive to manufacture, nevertheless stable and has a low contact resistance between the individual pipe sections. The high stability is achieved by welding the pipe sections to the Coupling plates or reached with the end plate and the coupling plate. The low contact resistance between the individual Pipe sections and those arranged transversely to the central axis Sheets (end sheets and coupling sheets) achieved that the sheets and the respective pipe section the bumps are soldered. Expensive flanges are no longer required. The same advantages also result from a dual-mode bandpass filter with only one resonator that then has no coupling plates but only two end plates.

Diese Technik ist bei Bandpaßfiltern aus Hohlleitern beliebigen Querschnitts anwendbar. Sie läßt sich auch auf Bandpaßfilter mit koaxialen Resonatoren übertragen.This technique is arbitrary for bandpass filters made of waveguides Cross-section applicable. It can also be used on bandpass filters transmitted with coaxial resonators.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Ein- und Auskoppelanschlüsse mit dem zugehörigen Rohrabschnitt verschweißt, insbesondere punktverschweißt und die Stöße verlötet (Anspruch 2). Dies ist eine kostengünstige, aber trotzdem stabile Verbindungstechnik.According to a preferred embodiment, the inputs and Coupling connections welded to the associated pipe section, especially spot welded and the joints soldered (Claim 2). This is an inexpensive, however nevertheless stable connection technology.

Vorteilhaft verläuft die gemeinsame mechanische Längsachse der Resonatoren im wesentlichen vertikal und ist das Filter wahlweise fest oder schwimmend mit einem Filterträger verbindbar (Anspruch 3). In vertikaler Ausrichtung ist das Filter den geringsten Spannungen ausgesetzt, was unerwünschte Deformationen und damit Verstimmungen des Filters verhindert. Dies wird durch die Maßnahme unterstützt, daß das Filter im Betrieb schwimmend mit dem Filterträger verbunden ist. Durch die schwimmende Befestigung des Filters wird eine Deformation des Filters infolge unterschiedlicher Dilatationen der Tragestruktur und des Filters weitgehend ausgeschlossen. Wäre das Filter fest mit dem Filterträger verbunden, könnte es, wenn das Filter mit hohen HF-Leistungen beaufschlagt wird und sich erwärmt, durch unterschiedliche Wärmedehnungen des Filters und der Tragestruktur zu mechanischen Spannungen und damit zu Deformationen des Filters kommen, was eine Verstimmung zur Folge hätte. Zum Transport wird das Filter jedoch vorzugsweise fest mit einem Filterträger verbunden.The common mechanical longitudinal axis advantageously runs of the resonators is essentially vertical and is the filter either fixed or floating, can be connected to a filter holder (Claim 3). In a vertical orientation, that is Filters exposed to the slightest tension, which is undesirable Deformations and thus detuning of the filter prevented. This is supported by the measure that the filter is connected to the filter carrier during operation is. Due to the floating attachment of the filter is a deformation of the filter due to different Extensions of the carrying structure and the filter largely locked out. If the filter were fixed with the filter holder connected, it could be if the filter has high RF powers is acted upon and warmed up by different Thermal expansion of the filter and the support structure mechanical stresses and thus deformations of the Filters come, which would result in an upset. To the However, the filter is preferably fixed with a transport Filter carrier connected.

Bevorzugt ist das Filter statisch bestimmt mit dem Filterträger verbunden. Hierzu kann z.B. der Rohrabschnitt eines der Resonatoren an seinem Umfang mit Befestigungslaschen versehen sein, deren jeweiliger horizontaler Schenkel mit dem Filterträger über eine Schraube verbindbar ist, die ein wendbares Distanzstück durchgreift, das beidseits je einen Ansatz zur Aufnahme in einer Bohrung des horizontalen Schenkels des Befestigungswinkels hat, wobei der eine Ansatz die Bohrung nur teilweise, der andere Ansatz die Bohrung vollständig durchgreift (Anspruch 4). So kann die Befestigung des Filters besonders leicht von der Transport- in die Betriebsstellung und umgekehrt von der Betriebs- in die Transportstellung gebracht werden.The filter is preferably statically determined with the filter carrier connected. For this, e.g. the pipe section one of the resonators on its circumference with fastening tabs be provided, the respective horizontal leg can be connected to the filter carrier via a screw, which passes through an reversible spacer, each on both sides an approach for inclusion in a horizontal bore Has leg of the bracket, one approach the hole only partially, the other approach the hole completely penetrates (claim 4). So the attachment of the filter is particularly easy to move from the Operating position and vice versa from operating to Transport position are brought.

Jede Befestigungslasche kann mit dem Rohrabschnitt des betreffenden Resonators über eine an dessen Außenwand parallel zu seiner Mittelachse befestigte Profilschiene verbunden sein (Anspruch 5). Mit dieser Maßnahme kann die Deformation des Filters weiter minimiert werden. Zudem kommt so die relativ hohe Steifigkeit der Endplatte und des Koppelbleches zur Wirkung, in welche auftretende Biegekräfte über die Profilschiene eingeleitet werden.Each mounting bracket can be connected to the pipe section of the concerned resonator via a parallel on its outer wall attached to its central axis rail be (claim 5). With this measure, the deformation of the filter can be further minimized. Also comes so the relatively high rigidity of the end plate and the coupling plate to the effect in which bending forces occur be introduced via the profile rail.

Zum Frequenzabgleich des Filters können in den Koppelschlitzen Abgleichschieber angeordnet sein, von denen jeder als in den betreffenden Schlitz geführter Schlitten ausgebildet ist, von denen zumindest einer eine die gegenüberliegenden Schlitzränder kontaktierende Kurzschlußbrücke trägt und über eine radiale, in einer zur Ebene des Koppelblechs parallelen Ebene angeordnete Stange von außen verstellbar ist (Anspruch 6). Besteht die Stange aus Metall, dann erfolgt die nötige Abschirmung nach außen durch jeweils eine federnde Kontaktbuchse, die mit der Resonatorwand löttechnisch verbunden ist.The frequency can be adjusted in the coupling slots Alignment slide should be arranged, each of which formed as a slide guided in the slot in question is, of which at least one is the opposite Shorting bridge contacting slot edges carries and over a radial, in one to the level of the coupling plate parallel level rod adjustable from the outside is (claim 6). If the rod is made of metal, then the necessary external shielding is carried out by a resilient contact socket that connects to the resonator wall is connected by soldering.

Vorteihaft bestehen zumindest die Rohrabschnitte, das (die) Koppelblech(e) und die Endbleche aus einem Werkstoff mit kleinem thermischen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten. Der Werkstoff kann beispielsweise Invar sein.Advantageously, there are at least the pipe sections, the (the) Coupling plate (s) and the end plates made of one material small coefficient of thermal expansion. The material can be Invar, for example.

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Bandpaßfilter besteht aus vier Rundhohlleiter-Resonatoren 1, 2, 3 und 4. Jeder Rohrabschnitt 1, 2, 3 und 4 besteht aus einem rollierten, parallel zur Mittelachse des Filters verschweißten Blech. Die gemeinsame mechanische Längsachse der Resonatoren verläuft im wesentlichen vertikal. So ist das Filter im wesentlichen spannungsfrei abgestützt. Der Resonator 1 hat oben ein Endblech 5 und der Resonator 4 hat unten ein Endblech 6. Die einzelnen Rohrabschnitte sind über Koppelbleche 7 miteinander verbunden. Die Endbleche 5 und 6 sowie die Koppelbleche 7 haben umgebogene Laschen 8, die mit dem/den an das jeweilige Blech angrenzenden Rohrabschnitt(en) verschweißt sind. Dies gewährleistet eine mechanische Stabilität des Bandpaßfilters. Die Stöße zwischen den Enblechen 5, 6 sowie zwischen den Koppelblechen 7 einerseits und den jeweiligen Rohrabschnitten 1, 2, 3, 4 andererseits sind umlaufend verlötet, um größtmögliche Kontaktsicherheit zu gewährleisten.The bandpass filter shown in Fig. 1 consists of four Round waveguide resonators 1, 2, 3 and 4. Each pipe section 1, 2, 3 and 4 consists of a rolled, parallel sheet metal welded to the central axis of the filter. The common mechanical longitudinal axis of the resonators runs in essentially vertical. So the filter is essentially supported without tension. The resonator 1 has a top End plate 5 and the resonator 4 has an end plate 6 below individual pipe sections are with each other via coupling plates 7 connected. The end plates 5 and 6 and the coupling plates 7 have bent tabs 8, which with the / the to the respective sheet metal adjacent pipe section (s) welded are. This ensures mechanical stability of the Bandpass filter. The joints between the metal sheets 5, 6 and between the coupling plates 7 on the one hand and the respective Pipe sections 1, 2, 3, 4 on the other hand are circumferential soldered to ensure the greatest possible contact security.

Fig. 2 zeigt beispielhaft die Verbindungstechnik zwischen dem Koppelblech 7 und den Rohrabschnitten 3 und 4. Dargestellt ist eine der umgebogenen Laschen 8 des Koppelblechs 7, die am Umfang des Rohrabschnitts 4 anliegen und mit diesem verschweißt sind. An den mit Pfeilen markierten Stellen sind die Rohrabschnitte 3 und 4 mit dem Koppelblech 7 verlötet, und zwar innen und außen.Fig. 2 shows an example of the connection technology between the coupling plate 7 and the pipe sections 3 and 4. Shown is one of the bent tabs 8 of the coupling plate 7, which abut the circumference of the tube section 4 and with this are welded. At the points marked with arrows are the pipe sections 3 and 4 with the coupling plate 7 soldered, inside and outside.

Ein Einkoppelanschluß 9 befindet sich am Umfang des Rohrabschnitts 3 und ein Auskoppelanschluß 10 am Umfang des Rohrabschnitts 2. Die Anschlüsse 9 und 10 sind mit den zugehörigen Rohrabschnitten 3 und 2 punktverschweißt. Die Stöße sind umlaufend verlötet.A coupling connection 9 is located on the circumference of the pipe section 3 and a coupling-out connection 10 on the circumference of the pipe section 2. Ports 9 and 10 are associated with the Pipe sections 3 and 2 spot welded. The bumps are soldered all around.

Am Umfang der einzelnen Rohrabschnitte 1, 2, 3 und 4 befinden sich Abgleichelemente, hier in Form von Abgleichschrauben 15.Located on the circumference of the individual pipe sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 adjustment elements, here in the form of adjustment screws 15.

Das Bandpaßfilter hat eine mit dem Rohrabschnitt 1 verbundene Befestigungskonstruktion 13 zur Aufhängung des Filters in der Öffnung einer Befestigungsplatte 11. Die Befestigungskonstruktion 13 umfaßt Profilschienen 12, welche ggf. auftretende Biegemomente und Belastungen im wesentlichen in die Bleche 5 und 7 einleiten.The bandpass filter has one connected to the pipe section 1 Mounting structure 13 for hanging the filter in the opening of a mounting plate 11. The mounting structure 13 comprises profile rails 12, which may occurring bending moments and loads essentially in Introduce the sheets 5 and 7.

Fig. 3 bis 5 zeigen die Aufhängung des Filters in einer vergrößerten Darstellung. Mit der Profilschiene 12 ist eine Lasche 31 verbunden. Die Lasche 31 hat eine Bohrung 32, deren Mittelachse mit der Mittelachse einer Bohrung 33 der Befestigungsplatte 11 zusammenfällt. Eine Schraube 34 durchgreift die Bohrung 32 und greift in ein Gewinde der Bohrung 33 ein. Zwischen der Schraube 34 und der Lasche 31 ist ein Distanzstuck 37 angeordnet. Das Distanzstück 37 hat beidseitig, d.h. unten und oben, je einen in die Bohrung 32 der Lasche 31 passenden Ansatz 35 bzw. 36. Die Ansätze 35 und 36 haben eine unterschiedliche Höhe. In Fig. 3 durchgreift der Ansatz 36 die Bohrung 32 teilweise, so daß ein Spalt zwischen diesem Ansatz 36 und der Befestigungsplatte 12 verbleibt. Damit ist bei angezogener Schraube 34 die Lasche 31 und damit das Filter fest zwischen dem Distanzstück 37 und der Befestigungsplatte 11 eingespannt. Das Distanzstück 37 befindet sich so in Transportstellung.3 to 5 show the suspension of the filter in one enlarged view. With the rail 12 is one Tab 31 connected. The tab 31 has a bore 32, whose central axis with the central axis of a bore 33 Mounting plate 11 coincides. A screw 34 passes through the bore 32 and engages in a thread of the bore 33 a. Between the screw 34 and the tab 31 is a Spacer 37 arranged. The spacer 37 has on both sides, i.e. below and above, one each in the bore 32 of the Tab 31 matching approach 35 or 36. Approaches 35 and 36 have different heights. In Fig. 3, the Approach 36 partially bore 32 so that a gap between this approach 36 and the mounting plate 12th remains. This is the tab when screw 34 is tightened 31 and thus the filter firmly between the spacer 37 and the mounting plate 11 clamped. The spacer 37 is in the transport position.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Betriebstellung des Distanzstückes 37. Dieses ist im Vergleich zu Fig. 3 gewendet. Der Ansatz 35 durchgreift die Bohrung 32 vollständig, so daß ein schmaler Spalt zwischen dem Distanzstück 37 und der Lasche 31 verbleibt und das Filter schwimmend mit der Befestigungsplatte 11 verbunden ist. Dies gewährleistet, daß das Filter trotz ggf. unterschiedlicher, z.B. temperaturbeeinflußter Dilatationen von Rohrabschnitten und Befestigungsplatte 11 spannungsfrei aufgehängt ist.4 shows the operating position of the spacer 37. This is turned in comparison to FIG. 3. The Approach 35 passes through the bore 32 completely, so that a narrower Gap between the spacer 37 and the tab 31 remains and the filter floating with the mounting plate 11 is connected. This ensures that the filter despite possibly different, e.g. temperature-influenced dilatations of pipe sections and mounting plate 11 tension-free is hung.
