Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transition from a waveguide to a stripline, wherein extending on a substrate stripline protrudes through an opening in the waveguide and a belonging to the strip line grounding line is contacted with the waveguide wall.
- Such a transition from a waveguide to a stripline is known from US 5,202,648.
- the strip line runs on top of the substrate, and the associated ground line consists of a deposited on the opposite side of the substrate conductive surface which is contacted with the waveguide wall.
- a weak point of such executed transitions between a waveguide and a stripline is often too low reflection attenuation and too high transmission loss.
- EP-A2-0 920 071 describes a transition from a waveguide to a stripline formed in a multilayer substrate.
- the junction may be enclosed within a hermetically sealed housing that includes a metal base, a first portion of the multi-layer substrate, a metal ring, and a metal cover.
- the multilayer substrate has at least a first and a second dielectric layer, between which a first conductive layer is arranged.
- the multi-layer substrate further includes the waveguide.
- the walls of the waveguide are coated with an electromagnetically reflective material so that signals may propagate through reflection by the waveguide to the first dielectric layer.
- vias are arranged to form an approximate outline around a protruding portion of the first dielectric layer.
- a stripline is disposed on a second, separate portion of the multilayer substrate from the top of the first dielectric layer and connected to a T-shaped antenna disposed over the waveguide and within the waveguide extension.
- the invention has for its object to provide a transition of the type mentioned, the one Has the highest possible reflection loss and the lowest possible insertion loss.
- the ground line belonging to the strip line consists of a plurality of ground planes stacked in the substrate, all of which are contacted to each other by means of plated-through holes in the substrate.
- the multi-layer ground line causes a more favorable field conversion of the stripline to the waveguide, which sets a high reflection loss and low transmission loss for the transition.
- a plated-through in the substrate is provided at the acting as an antenna, projecting into the waveguide end of the strip line, the transition is broadband.
- the substrate is fixed with at least one screw on a support on the waveguide wall, wherein the screw is passed through the ground surface and produces an electrical contact between these and the support.
- a low transmission loss is achieved by the fact that the at least one screw rests with its head on one of the lateral next to the strip line on the substrate top applied ground surfaces and that between the screw head and the mass surface, a conductive tape is clamped, which is connected to the waveguide wall.
- at least one conductive elastic body may be inserted between at least one of the two ground faces located laterally of the strip line and a projection of the waveguide wall projecting beyond the ground faces.
- a conductive elastic body can be pressed between the head of the at least one screw and the projection of the waveguide wall.
- a stripline 2 runs on a multilayer substrate 1 (multi-layer substrates).
- a tongue 5 located on the substrate 1 in the Waveguide 3 protrudes.
- the extending on the tongue 5 end of the strip line 2 acts as an antenna 6 for coupling the waveguide array to the stripline or vice versa.
- ground planes 7 and 8 are applied to the substrate upper side next to the strip line 2, and in addition a plurality of ground planes are stacked within the multilayer substrate, all of which have the same ground potential.
- the cross-section B-B shown in FIG. 3 through the waveguide 3 into the substrate 1 shows the multilayer ground surfaces 9 within the substrate 1.
- the longitudinal section AA shown in Figure 2 shows the two symmetrical ground planes 7 and 8 on both sides of the strip line 2. These ground surfaces 7 and 8 on the substrate top are electrically conductively connected to the other within the substrate 1 stacked ground surfaces 9 through a plurality of plated through holes 10 , The locations and distances of the vias 10 are selected so that field propagation into the spaces between the ground planes of the multilayer substrate 1 is prevented. Because this could disrupt the function of arranged in the individual substrate layers circuits.
- the ground surfaces 9 of the substrate 1 preferably protrude into the waveguide 3 by a few tenths of a millimeter in order to increase the positional tolerance of the substrate 1 relative to the waveguide 3.
- the field configuration under the stripline 2 in the waveguide 3 is closely related to the position of the ground surfaces 9 together. If the position of the substrate 1 is now slightly changed, the field remains unchanged due to the positional tolerance of the ground surfaces 9.
- a penetration depth of the ground surfaces 9 in the waveguide 3 of 0.5 - 1.0 mm makes sense.
- the multilayer substrate 1 forms a larger virtual mass, thereby creating a field configuration that is better converted into a waveguide wave.
- the field is namely formed by the greater extent of the mass (because of the many stacked mass surfaces) in the direction of the broad side of the waveguide 3 more intense in a field component of the fundamental mode of the waveguide.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show that through-plating 11 is provided at the end of the antenna 6 of the stripline 2 running on the substrate tongue 5.
- This plated-11 at the end of the antenna 6 of the strip line leads to a broadening of the frequency band of the transition from the waveguide 3 to the stripline 2. Due to the thicker structure of the substrate 1, the feedthrough 11 at the end of the antenna 6 increases, resulting in a more favorable conversion of the stripline field contributes to the waveguide field.
- the substrate 1 is fixed by means of at least one screw - in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, two screws 12 and 13 - on a support 14 extending from the waveguide wall below the opening 4.
- the screws are 12 and 13 with their heads on the side adjacent to the strip line 2 applied ground surfaces 7 and 8 and thus provide between the ground surfaces 7 and B and the stacked ground surfaces 9 in the substrate 1 and the waveguide wall 14 an electrical contact.
- This contacting can, as shown in Figure 2, take place by means of conductive bands 15 and 16 which at one end between the heads of the screws 12 and 13 and the conductive surfaces 7 and 8 and at its other end in the parting plane 17 of two half-shells existing waveguide 3 are clamped.
- FIG 3 Another variant for the contacting of the mass surfaces 7, 8 and screws 12, 13 with the waveguide wall is shown in FIG 3.
- the waveguide 3 above its opening 4 a wall projection 18 which extends over the ground surfaces 7 and 8 on the upper side of the substrate 1 protrudes.
- a wall projection 18 which extends over the ground surfaces 7 and 8 on the upper side of the substrate 1 protrudes.
- one or more conductive elastic body 19 are clamped.
- one or more conductive elastic bodies 20 can be pressed.
