Definitions
- This invention is a passive radio frequency (RF) filter with coupled cavities specifically conceived for UHF TV broadcasting.
- RF radio frequency
- the most commonly used filters are band-pass filters featuring at least six resonance cavities and requiring high quality factor resonators to limit insertion losses.
- some filter configurations employ four band-pass resonators with two extra resonators acting as band stop.
- these systems are not completely reliable as regards adjustment and frequency response since they are not based on canonical electrical designs.
- the EP 1 045 470 A2 Patent describes a generalized filter according to classical configurations, the specific object of the invention being its peculiar capacitive coupling which can be adjusted between resonators 2 and 5.
- This invention consists of a filter made up of four resonators only, and featuring all the requirements for perfect filtering of a television channel.
- the main advantages of this invention are a reduction in loss with a given resonator quality factor, a greater mechanical and thermal stability, and a decrease in the size, weight and cost of the device.
- the filter which is the subject of the invention requires high accuracy and symmetry in the frequency response, and cannot be built by means of present-day techniques.
- the filter is made up of four cylindrical brass resonators (1) placed in the corresponding square cavities (2). Each resonator features a fixed part (3) and a mobile part (4).
- the mobile part (4) is driven by means of a small steel rod (5) controlled by a mechanical adjustment device made up of a control clamp (6) placed on steel spacing bars (7).
- the resonators are cascade-coupled by means of adjustable magnetic loops (8) placed between the cavities.
- the main electrical section of the filter is uniquely designed in that it has a sign reversal in the mutual coupling of the two middle resonators.
- the generalized coupling between the first and the fourth resonators is carried out in a dual way by means of the adjustable magnetic loop (12).
- the end resonators are electrically coupled to the connectors (13) by a highly efficient technique which has been carefully worked out and which employs adjustable probes (14) through connector rotation and locking.
- the shape of all the parts used for adjustment has been optimized by means of precise calculations and electromagnetic simulations so as to make coupling adjustment as easy as possible, with minimum variations within the design band.
- Filter thermal stability is ensured by the use of special materials such as INVAR steel, as well as by accurate calculations and simulations aimed at finding out the optimum shapes of the resonance structures.
- the whole device is held inside a screened case made in sheet-brass.
- All internal parts of the filter are silver-plated in order to improve its high-frequency characteristics.
- the filter which is the subject of the invention is particularly innovative as to adjustment simplicity and response quality, thanks to the unique coupling configuration.
- the electrical design of the invention permits precise adjustment with the generalized response attenuation poles placed at the frequencies of the main interferences, corresponding, in the case of analogue transmissions, to the frequencies of 3 rd Order IMD.
- global selectivity allowing for a reduction in desirable emissions is ensured, according to all current regulations worldwide.
- Fig. 4 shows the frequency response of a typical channel adjustment.
- a second-choice configuration will consist of a six-resonance cavity filter, featuring a cascade-coupled cavity in front of each input coupling.
- the filter will feature eight resonance cavities characterized by two cascade-coupled cavities in front of each input coupling.
