Definitions

  • the invention relates to an RF coupler or RF power divider, in particular narrow-band RF coupler or RF power divider according to the preamble of claim 1, known from the US 2005/0017821 A1 ,
  • Ring couplers are often used for this purpose.
  • Such ring couplers are for example from prong Brunswig " High Frequency Technology ", Springer-Verlag, 6th edition, 2000 known, from page 192.
  • ring couplers are often implemented in microstrip technology.
  • high-frequency couplers are also known in which the degree of coupling is generally set via front-end or longitudinally coupled lines. For higher coupling levels, as necessary for a power divider, these distances are often very low or even too low to be economically manufactured.
  • a directional coupler for example is constructed in suspended substrate technology.
  • a coupling path in stripline technology is provided on a substrate on one side, which are connected to two also in stripline technology formed first and second terminals on the substrate in combination.
  • a second coupling path is arranged, which lead to a third and fourth output or connection.
  • the two coupling paths are arranged at least partially overlapping.
  • EP 1 291 959 A1 can also be connected at the two opposite ends of the two coupling paths also each capacitors, the second connection point is in each case to ground.
  • the coupler is constructed in Koplanartechnik.
  • the two coupling lines are each arranged with their two connection points on a common side of the substrate, wherein the coupling paths extend in the smallest possible distance parallel to each other.
  • a directional coupler has become known, which in turn is also constructed in suspended substrate technology. It is in this prior art directional coupler to a broadband directional coupler with at least two coupled in cascade coupling sections of different coupling loss, in which the coupling sections with loose coupling of frontally coupled strip conductors and the Coupling sections with fixed coupling consist of broadside coupled strip conductors.
  • couplers known from the prior art are often designed in microstrip technology. Due to the relatively high attenuation of the microstrip line and their sensitivity to variations in the dielectric constant, the disadvantages of these couplers are the high space requirements and the relatively large electrical losses and the high cost of high-quality printed circuit board material.
  • the main disadvantages of the directional coupler in coplanar technology are ultimately in the required minimum distances between the longitudinally coupled interconnects and the extent also limited coupling factor. Furthermore, the coupling factor is highly tolerance-dependent (etching tolerances and variations in the dielectric constants of the substrate material exert an adverse influence). Furthermore, a coplanar coupler is not optimal in terms of electrical losses.
  • a high-frequency coupler or power divider which comprises on a substrate on one side two formed coupling links. Both coupling lines are provided at the beginning and at the end with connecting conductors, which lead to staggered terminals. In addition, capacitors for coupling both coupling paths are provided and formed between the two coupling paths.
  • this directional coupler is formed on a substrate so that the one coupling path on one side of the substrate and the coupled therewith second coupling path is formed on the opposite side of the substrate.
  • a through connection through the substrate is provided in each case on one side of the coupling path in order to produce an electrical-galvanic connection of a connecting line to an opposite coupling surface.
  • a microwave coupler which also has four ports and two coupling links, between the two coupling links - which are kept relatively short - from the beginning to the end capacitors are provided for coupling between the coupling links.
  • a disadvantage of all types of couplers mentioned above is that, in particular when used for a modern telecommunications system, they do not have the requisite required properties of a high-frequency coupler, for example with sufficient coupling factor, sufficient directivity or symmetry or can not be realized or only with considerable development effort.
  • a generic coupler or power divider is from the US 2005/0017821 A1 known.
  • two first connecting lines are provided, which lead to a beginning and to an end of a first coupling path.
  • a second, coupled to the first coupling path coupling path is provided, leading to the beginning and the end of two further connection lines.
  • the aforementioned two coupling paths are formed on the substrate on two opposite sides, wherein the entire arrangement rests with the lower coupling path on a lower substrate.
  • a further coupler is known to be known, for example, includes grounded interdigital capacitors, which serve to improve the electrical property.
  • the RF coupler or power divider according to the invention has a number of positive advantages that offset conventional solutions.
  • the high-frequency coupler according to the invention has a narrowband design.
  • the coupler according to the invention or power divider has at the respective opposite end or connection areas to the respective coupling path capacitors, as in principle also from the EP 1 291 959 A1 are known. In deviation, however, are not discrete Reactants or capacitors used, but so-called interdigital capacitors. Although reveals the US 2004/0113717 A1 a coupler with grounded interdigital capacitors, but here a second substrate is provided without vias.
  • a power divider or coupler is realized with very little space, the electrical parameters are relatively freely adjustable or preselected within wide limits. Above all, it has low electrical losses.
  • the power divider or coupler according to the invention is also characterized by its high directivity. Above all, the fact that the coupler or power divider according to the invention - which is usually installed in a housing - also in the region of the lower coupling path a distance from the housing, i. has a housing wall, in this case no fixed dielectric is provided immediately adjacent, can be realized and achieve a lower ⁇ , which has a positive impact on the electrical properties of the coupler or power divider reflected. As a result, the coupler or power divider according to the invention has further advantages over the generic state of the art.
  • the coupler or power divider according to the invention is also comparatively robust with respect to housing tolerances. This is especially evident in the choice of different cover distances. This robustness to housing tolerances also opens the possibility to reuse individual designs in other applications.
  • the coupler according to the invention is also comparatively robust to etching tolerances as well as to fluctuations in the Dielectric constant of the substrate material. Furthermore, basically no further wiring or concentrated components are necessary, although they could basically be used if necessary. Finally, all leads are provided on the same side of the substrate side, which is to be regarded as advantageous.
