Definitions
- the invention relates to a multimode microwave filter comprising at least one resonant cavity as well as input-output means, and microwave energy coupling means enabling the different resonance modes to be excited inside the resonant cavity.
- a filter finds its utility in particular at the output of a power amplification stage, in radio transmission equipment for example. For certain applications, it is sought to produce a filter with a relatively wide passband, very selective, and with low losses in the useful band.
- a multimode filter also comprises means for coupling energy between modes, these means being most often adjustable so as to adjust the transfer of energy between said modes. Also conventionally, there are provided adjustable frequency tuning means of the resonant cavity. These two tuning and coupling functions are often performed using screws, pistons, or other tuning mechanisms or variable adjustment.
- a disadvantage of these conventional means is precisely their adjustment, often delicate, which requires a lot of time in the factory and which therefore costs o expensive.
- FIG. 1 Such a filter known from the prior art is shown in FIG. 1.
- This waveguide filter 19 does not have transmission zeros. Consequently, it is necessary to generate a large number of poles in order to obtain the desired selectivity, that is to say the rejection of the frequencies outside the 5 transmission band of the filter.
- the disadvantage is that the high number of poles considerably increases the insertion losses.
- the filter of FIG. 1 is produced over a length of waveguide 19 with its inlet 9 and outlet 11 flanges. A large number of cylindrical bars or rods 13 are placed perpendicular to the long side of the guide. It is obvious from their number that the factory setting is tedious.
- a second filter known from the prior art is described for example in the article “Four-Pole Dual Mode Elliptic Filter Realized in Circular Cavity Without Screws” by Luciano Accatino et al., IEEE Trans. MTT, V.44, no.12, pp 2680-2686, December 1996.
- This filter consists of a length of circular guide 20 disposed between an input waveguide 10 and an output waveguide 12.
- the input and output waveguides are coupled to the circular guide by planar transitions 24 and 26 with rectangular openings 28 and 30 respectively.
- an iris 22 In the middle of the guide is placed an iris 22 with a rectangular opening 29 whose axes are parallel to the axes of the rectangular openings 28 and 30 of the plane transitions 24 and 26.
- this filter is that the coupling between the modes, and the agreement of the filter, are obtained using rectangular irises 25 of thickness E, which therefore behave like rectangular guide sections.
- the axes of these rectangular or iris guide sections are oriented with a non-zero angle with respect to the axes of the rectangular inlet 10 and outlet 12 guides in a plane perpendicular to the axis of propagation Z in the filter; it is these angles of rotation of the irises around the Z axis which make it possible to obtain the desired agreement and coupling between the modes of the filter.
- There is no screw or external adjustment of this filter There is no screw or external adjustment of this filter.
- the realization is delicate, because the irises must be positioned with very high precision according to arbitrary angles resulting from the electromagnetic simulation programs. Mass production would therefore seem to pose major problems.
- the filter bimode consists, as in the previous example, of a length of circular waveguide 20 arranged between an input waveguide 10 and an output waveguide 12.
- the input waveguides and outlet are coupled to the circular guide by planar transitions 24 and 26 with o rectangular openings 28 and 30 respectively.
- This document is cited because it teaches another microwave filter without tuning or coupling adjustment screws.
- the coupling between the two orthogonal modes is obtained by the iris 22, having an elliptical opening 29 whose major axis is inclined at 45 ° relative to the axes x - x 'of the opening 28 and the axis yy' of the opening 30 of the plane transitions 24 and 26.
- the angle is critical, but it is easier to obtain with precision.
- the coupling of the modes depends significantly on the exact shape of the ellipse 29 and the thickness E of the iris, but the ellipse considerably complicates the calculations of simulation and computer-aided design.
- Another object of the invention is a filter having characteristics which lend themselves to simplified industrial production while retaining optimized operating characteristics.
- the resonator of the invention has an increased ease of assembly and no adjustment.
- a quadrimode microwave filter having a plurality of transmission zeros, said filter comprising at least one rectangular quadrimode rectangular resonant cavity 16, a waveguide of input access 10, and an output access wave guide 12; this (s) cavity (s) (16, 19, 7) being coupled to the inlet and outlet guides (and between them if they are several) by rectangular parallelepiped irises (15, 17, 18, .. .) characterized in that all the faces of the cavities (16, 19, ...) and of the irises (15, 17, 18, 7) are either parallel or perpendicular to each other.
- said access guides are rectangular, and all the faces of the cavities (16, 19, ...) of the irises (15, 17, 18, ...) and of the access guides 10,12 are either parallel or perpendicular to each other.
- the resonance frequencies of the electromagnetic propagation modes are determined by the dimensions of said at least one resonant cavity 16, and the distribution of electromagnetic energy between the different modes is carried out only by the dimensions and the arrangement of said irises.
- the dimensions of said entry and exit access guides 10, 12 are chosen to attenuate all the electromagnetic modes except the fundamental TE 10. According to an advantageous characteristic, the dimensions of said access guides 10, 12 are the same. According to another advantageous characteristic, the entry mode and the exit mode are the same. According to a preferred embodiment, the irises 15, 17 are eccentric along the two transverse axes (X, Y) of said filter.
- the couplings, between them and with the input and output modes, of the different resonant modes of said at least one resonant cavity 16 are obtained only by the irises 15 17, to the exclusion of any screw or another tuning or coupling mechanism.
- FIG. 5 which schematically shows and seen in front plan the example of the filter of FIG. 4 according to the invention
- - Figure 6 which shows schematically and seen in plan from above the example of the filter of Figure 4 according to the invention
- FIG. 10 which shows schematically and in perspective an example of a multi-cavity filter including at least one microwave quadrimode cavity according to the invention
- FIG. 13 which shows the simulations of the reflection and transmission coefficients of a multi-cavity filter according to the invention, as drawn in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12.
- Figure 4 shows schematically and in perspective an example of a quadrimode microwave filter according to the invention.
- the filter includes at least one rectangular quadrimode parallelepiped resonant cavity (16), an input access waveguide (10), and an output access waveguide (12).
- the single cavity (16) is coupled to the rectangular inlet and outlet guides (and between them if there are more than one) by rectangular parallelepiped irises (15, 17).
- all the faces of the cavities (16) and of the irises (15, 17) are either parallel or perpendicular to each other.
- the access guides are rectangular, and all the faces of the cavities (16), of the irises (15, 17) and of the access guides (10,12) are either parallel, either perpendicular to each other.
- the computer simulation of the electromagnetic equations inside the structure of the filter is particularly easy and reliable, making it possible to calculate with precision the dimensions necessary to obtain the desired performances.
- the reliability of the calculations allows a good prediction of the bandwidth frequencies, as well as the transmission and reflection coefficients of the structure. It only remains to machine the structure in the mass of a good conductive material, for example copper, or brass. Machining is also facilitated by the geometric simplicity of the structure. Since the electromagnetic characteristics of the structure are easily and precisely predictable from simulation calculations, no subsequent adjustment is necessary to obtain the desired performance.
- the choice of an extremely simple geometry allows a simple and reliable simulation, making it possible to calculate precise machining dimensions, which is also facilitated by the simple geometry.
- the inlet / outlet access guides can of course be circular guides, or even coaxial or other accesses, the invention does not relate to the geometry of the inlet and outlet of the filter, but to the filter itself, as as defined in the claims.
- the use of rectangular guides further simplifies the simulation calculations, and therefore leads us to prefer this kind of access.
- the rectangular access guides have the same dimensions for the exit as for the entry.
- Figures 5 and 6 show the same example of a filter according to the invention as Figure 4, seen respectively from the front and from above. These figures have the same references as Figure 4 and represent the same elements, so they do not elicit further explanation.
- a practical realization of a model of a filter according to the invention, using these dimensions, makes it possible to obtain a filter operating in the Ku band around 14 GHz. All dimensions are given in millimeters.
- a block of conductive material for example brass
- the hollows of the different cavities and the irises are machined from side and other of this central plane in the two blocks, possibly with access guides.
- the two blocks are then assembled to form a single one with the hollows of the cavities, irises, and possibly the access guides, enclosed inside.
- FIG. 7 shows transmission measurements obtained on a model of a filter according to the invention, produced according to the above dimensions.
- the curve represents the ratio of the electromagnetic energy at the output of the filter compared to the energy presented at the input of the filter, in dB, as a function of the frequency in GHz.
