Definitions
- the invention relates to a directional coupler in coaxial line technology.
- Directional couplers are used in high-frequency technology for separate measurement of the incoming and outgoing wave in a line.
- directional couplers are used, for. B. used to measure the standing wave ratio.
- the main focus is on a directional coupler in coaxial line technology.
- Such a directional coupler in coaxial line technology is, for. B. described in US 5,926,076.
- the directional coupler consists of a coaxial line with an inner conductor, a hollow cylindrical dielectric guided around the inner conductor and a hollow cylindrical outer conductor attached to the jacket of the hollow cylindrical dielectric and a printed circuit board on which the two decoupling units of the directional coupler are essentially attached.
- the coaxial line and printed circuit board with decoupling units are arranged at an adjustable distance from one another in a housing.
- a disadvantage of this arrangement is the comparatively high outlay with regard to a mechanical and also electrical connection between the coaxial line and the two decoupling units and their connections via a common spacing, fastening and storage in a common housing.
- the targeted and efficient dissipation of heat generated from the directional coupler circuit by means of resistors and heat dissipation rails is comparatively complex.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a directional coupler in coaxial line technology in which the mechanical and also electrical connection between the coaxial line and the connections of the Directional coupler, in particular the outcoupling connections, is realized with minimal additional equipment-related effort.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a directional coupler in coaxial line technology with the features of claim 1.
- the electrical connection between the inner and outer conductor of the coaxial line and the individual connections of the directional coupler takes place at the input and output of the coaxial line via a resistor network.
- the mechanical connection between the coaxial line and the individual connections of the directional coupler, which are positioned on a planar printed circuit board, is realized in that the coaxial line z. B. is designed semi-ring-shaped or U-shaped and thus aligned with its two connection surfaces parallel to the planar printed circuit board and thus via connecting lines or resistors belonging to the above-mentioned resistor networks, a comparatively simple mechanical connection between the inner and outer conductor of the coaxial line and the connections of the directional coupler is realized.
- the planar printed circuit board can be implemented using SMD technology.
- the arrangement of the resistors of the two resistor networks, the shielding and thus at the two ends of the coaxial line Lead the outer conductor of the coaxial line to ground potential are very important for the directional coupler characteristics and can be arranged relatively flexibly.
- FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of a directional coupler according to the invention in coaxial line technology
- Fig. 2 is a side view of a directional coupler according to the invention in coaxial line technology
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of a directional coupler according to the invention in coaxial line technology.
- the directional coupler according to the invention in coaxial line technology essentially comprises a coaxial line 1, which consists of an inner conductor 2 and, separately via a dielectric, an outer conductor 3.
- the coaxial line 1 is surrounded on its outer jacket by a plurality of ferrite core rings 4 arranged in a row.
- the coaxial line 1 is connected at its first connection surface 8 to the first connection 5 and the first coupling-out connection 6 of the directional coupler via a first resistor network 7 and at its second connection surface 9 to the second connection 10 and the second coupling-out connection 11 connected to the first resistor network 7 symmetrical second resistor network 12.
- the first resistance network 7 consists of a series circuit of a resistor R 71 and R 72 in the connecting line 73 between the first terminal 5 and the first coupling-out terminal 6 and a resistor R 74 in the connecting line 75 between the outer conductor 3 of the coaxial line 1 and the first Decoupling connection 6 and a direct connecting line 76 between the inner conductor 2 of the coaxial line 1 and the first connection 5.
- the second resistor network 12 consists symmetrically of the first resistor network 7 from a series connection of a resistor R 121 and R 122 in the connecting line
- the outer conductor 3 is connected to ground potential at the first connection surface 8 of the coaxial line 1 with a third resistor network 13.
- the third resistance network
- the outer conductor 3 on the second connection surface 9 of the coaxial line 1 is connected to a fourth resistor network 14 which is completely symmetrical to the third
- Resistor network 13 is executed, led to ground potential.
- the fourth against stand network 14 therefore consists of a parallel connection of several low-resistance resistors R 141 , R 142 , R 143 ,. , , , R 14 (n-1) , R 14n .
- the resistors R 71 , R 72 and R 74 of the first resistor network 7 and the resistors R 121 , R ⁇ 22 ' R a2 of the second resistor network 12 are designed to have a higher resistance than the low-resistance resistors R 131 , ..., R 13n of the third resistor network 13 and the low-resistance resistors R 141 , ..., R 14n of the fourth resistor network 14.
- the semi-annular or U-shaped design of the coaxial line 1 can be seen in the side view in FIG. 2 and in the top view in FIG. 3 of the directional coupler according to the invention in coaxial line technology.
- the bending of the originally linear coaxial line 1 into the ring-shaped or U-shaped configuration according to FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 is possible by using the semi-rigid technology in the inner conductor 2, dielectric and outsider 3 of the coaxial line 1.
- FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 also show the conical arrangement of the resistors R 131 , ..., R 13n of the third resistor network 13 and the resistors R 141 , ..., R 14n of the fourth resistor network 14 between the outer conductor 3 the coaxial line 1 and the planar printed circuit board 15 can be seen, the first and second connections 5 and 10 and the first and second coupling-out connection 6 and 11 further components, the z. B. are arranged in SMD technology contains. All resistors R 131 , .., R 13n and R 141 , ..., R 14n are, as can be seen from FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, soldered onto the circuit board.
- FIG. 2 also shows the connecting line 76 or 126 from the inner conductor 2 of the coaxial line to the first connection 5 or to the second connection 10 of the directional coupler, as well as the resistor R 74 of the first resistor network 7 or the resistor R 124, which is also made using conventional technology of the second resistor network 12, both in the conical arrangement of the resistors R 131 , ..., R 13n of the third resistor network 13 and the Resistors R 141 , ..., R 14n of the fourth resistor network 14 are recognized.
- FIG. 3 shows the resistors R 71 and R 72 of the first resistor network 7 and the resistors R 121 and R 122 of the second resistor network 12, which are also made using conventional technology and on the planar printed circuit board 15 is realized in the exemplary embodiment in SMD technology, are soldered on.
- a broadband directional coupler can be implemented without high expenditure for applications, in particular in the case of broadband amplifiers, for example between 30 and 500 MHz.
