Definitions

  • the invention relates to filters, methods for tuning and constructing such filter.
  • Filters are widely used in data transmission and in particular, telecommunications, for example in base stations, radar systems, amplifier linearization systems, point-to-point radio, and RF signal cancellation systems.
  • a specific filter is chosen or designed dependent on the particular application, there are certain desirable characteristics that are common to all filter realisations. For example, the amount of insertion loss in the pass-band of the filter should be as low as possible, while the attenuation in the stop-band should be as high as possible. Further, in some applications the frequency separation between the pass-band and stop-band (guard band) needs to be very small, which requires filters of high order to be deployed in order to achieve this requirement.
  • FIG. 1a shows a third order cavity combline filter according to the prior art, Figure 1b showing an equivalent circuit for such a filter.
  • the filter is designed to operate at a particular frequency and bandwidth.
  • tuning and coupling screws are provided.
  • the tuning screws vary the distance between the housing and the free end of the resonant post and change the frequency of operation of the filter.
  • the coupling screws are located in the gaps between the cavities and alter the coupling between the cavities and thereby the bandwidth of operation.
  • a first aspect of the present invention provides a filter comprising: a plurality of resonator members comprising an input resonator member and an output resonator member each of said plurality of resonator members being mounted on a surface within a conductive housing; an input feed line configured to transmit a signal to said input resonator member such that said signal excites said input resonator member, said plurality of resonator members being arranged such that said signal is transferred between said plurality of resonator members to an output resonator member; an output feed line for receiving said signal from said output resonator member and outputting said signal; and a conductive tuning member protruding between at least one of said feed lines and an inner surface of said conductive housing such that said conductive tuning member affects a capacitance of said at least one of said feed lines.
  • Filters can be designed to operate at certain frequencies and with certain bandwidths and quality factors. These properties may be changed at the design stage by changing not only the size and shape of the resonant member and/ or housing but also by changing the physical feed position of the input and output feed line. However, once these parameters are set, changing these properties and tuning the filter is more difficult.
  • the present invention recognises that the loaded quality factor of a filter, which is its quality factor when connected to other devices and is dependent on the frequency of operation, is affected by the position and impedance of the feed lines which are generally set at the design stage. The value of the loaded Q affects the bandwidth of the filter, the higher the loaded Q the narrower the bandwidth.
  • the lack of a loaded Q factor tuning mechanism is a missing link towards the achievement of a frequency agile and bandwidth tunable filter.
  • ⁇ ⁇ 0 4 ⁇ ⁇ 0 ⁇ Y 0 ⁇ G ⁇ C k 2 Y 0 ⁇ G + ⁇ 0 2 ⁇ C k 2 2
  • the loaded Q varies with characteristic admittance Y 0 , of the interconnecting line which cannot be changed, since it is set by external factors (connection to other equipment and standards) and with G which is the equivalent conductance of the resonator assembly.
  • G is frequency dependent and for the particular frequency of operation cannot be altered as the unloaded Q factor depends on it and this needs to be kept as high as possible and should not be changed in filter design. This leaves the capacitance C k , and changes in this will change the loaded Q factor. Thus, this can be used to vary the loaded Q and in this way tune the bandwidth.
  • the inventor realised that the loaded Q could be changed post manufacture by changing the capacitance of the feed line by the insertion of a conductive tuning member protruding between the feed line and an inner surface of the conductive housing.
  • a conductive tuning member affects the capacitance and therefore the impedance of the feed line which in turn affects the loaded Quality factor and the bandwidth of the filter.
  • the bandwidth of the filter can be changed after manufacture.
  • the filter comprises two conductive tuning members one protruding between said output feed line and an inner surface of said conductive housing thereby affecting a capacitance of said output feed line and one protruding between said input feed line and an inner surface of said conductive housing thereby affecting a capacitance of said input feed line.
  • the filter may be tuned at only one of the input or output feed lines, in general it is advantageous if the feed lines are balanced and thus, tuning of both input and output feed lines in conjunction with other can lead to both a tunable and efficient filter.
  • said conductive tuning member is a movable tuning member configured to move such that a distance that said protruding member extends from said inner surface of said conductive housing can be varied, said capacitance of said input or output feed line affected by said protruding member varying with said distance and thereby changing a bandwidth of said filter.
  • the tuning member can be configured in a number of ways, it may be advantageous if it is a movable member such that a distance that it extends from the inner surface can be changed, thereby changing the capacitance, impedance and bandwidth.
  • said tuning member comprises a screw extending from said inner surface of said conductive housing towards said input or output feed line.
  • One simple yet effective way or providing a movable conductive tuning member is to provide it as a screw, such that the distance can be altered by simply rotating the screw which will then retain its new position.
  • the filter may take a number of forms in some embodiments said filter is at least one of a radio frequency and a combline filter.
  • the present technique is particularly effective at tuning such filters.
  • said input and output feed lines run substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal access of said resonant members from an inner surface of said housing to abut against said input and output resonant members respectively, said conductive tuning member extending from a same inner surface of said housing or from an adjacent inner surface as said feed line extends from and wherein a plane that passes through said longitudinal access of said resonant member and said feed line passes through said tuning member.
  • the resonant members and feed lines may be arranged in a number of different ways, a suitable location of the tuning member will depend on the particular configuration. Where, for example, the feed lines abut the resonant member the tuning member may extend from the same inner surface or an adjacent inner surface as the surface that the feed line extends from, thereby providing an effective way of changing the capacitance of the feed line.
  • a first portion of said feed lines extends substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal access of said resonant members towards said respective resonant members from an inner wall of said housing running parallel to said longitudinal access and a second portion located towards but at a distance from said respective resonant members extends substantially parallel to said longitudinal access, said conductive tuning member extending from one of said inner walls of said housing on a same side of said resonant member as said feed line
  • the tuning member may be located close to the feed line either extending from the same inner wall or from an adjacent one in the same plane as the feed line.
  • the tuning member may extend from the same side wall or one of the upper or lower walls.
  • said feed lines run substantially parallel to a longitudinal access of said resonant members, said conductive tuning member extending from a surface of an inner wall of said housing, said feed line lying between said surface of said inner wall from which said conductive tuning member extends and said resonant member.
  • said plurality of resonant members are each mounted within a respective resonant chamber, said resonant chambers being formed by walls of said housing and partition walls within said housing, at least some of said partition walls not extending between opposing walls of said housing such that said resonant chambers are not completely isolated from each other by said partition walls.
  • the filter is generally formed to have resonant chambers with the resonant members each located within a chamber.
  • the chambers are connected via gaps in the separating walls allowing the signal to be coupled between chambers.
  • said housing contains a granular dielectric material such that said plurality of resonant members are surrounded by said granular dielectric material and in some cases said housing is at least substantially filled with said plurality of resonant members and said granular dielectric material.
  • One way of changing the frequency of operation of a filter and reducing its size is to surround the resonant member with a dielectric material rather than air.
  • This dielectric loading of the cavity increases the dielectric constant of the overall cavity as compared to the empty cavity, effectively reducing the value of the guided wavelength inside the cavity.
  • the overall size reduction of the filter is directly proportional to the value of the dielectric constant of the powder that is used to load the cavities of the particular filter. It is important to realise that the dielectric powder loading of a filter does not only reduce the size of the filter, but that the coupling coefficients between the internal resonator assemblies are not dependent on the value of dielectric constant of the powder.
  • the coupling coefficients remain the same, regardless of whether the cavity is empty or filled with a dielectric material of an arbitrary value, provided of course that the dielectric loss is not so extreme that that the electro-magnetic field in the cavity is absorbed by it.
  • the dielectric loading of filters does not change the inter-resonator couplings.
  • dielectric loading does influence the loaded Q factor and ultimately the bandwidth of the filter.
  • dielectric loading of empty cavities of, for example, an RF filter results in the reduction of the operating frequency of the filter in proportion to ⁇ r .
  • frequency tunability can be obtained by controlled dielectric loading; however, as this also affects bandwidth then the tuning of the bandwidth becomes important.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are particularly applicable to filters filled with dielectric powders where the frequency has been significantly changed and a change in bandwidth is required to allow the filter to operate within its required specifications.
  • the present technique allows filters that have granular dielectric material within them, and have a corresponding adjustment or tuning of the frequency, to have their bandwidth altered such that a suitable filter with the required specifications can be generated.
  • Embodiments of the present technique therefore provide a filter with frequency tunability using a dielectric power and bandwidth and loaded Quality tunability using a conductive tuning member.
  • the dielectric material has at least one of a relative dielectric constant in the range 2 to 10, more preferably in the range between 3 to 5 and a loss tangent in the range 4 x10 -4 to 4 x10 -5 .
  • the dielectric material is one of a manufactured dielectric powder while in others it is formed of granular fused quartz such as sand.
  • the latter is a cheap, stable and yet effective dielectric powder to use.
  • a second aspect of the present invention provides a method of adjusting a bandwidth of a bandpass filter, said bandpass filter comprising: a plurality of resonator members comprising an input resonator member and an output resonator member each of said plurality of resonator members being mounted on a surface within a conductive housing; an input feed line configured to transmit a signal to said input resonator member such that said signal excites said input resonator member, said plurality of resonator members being arranged such that said signal is transferred between said plurality of resonator members to an output resonator member; an output feed line for receiving said signal from said output resonator member and outputting said signal; and a conductive tuning member protruding between at least one of said feed lines and an inner surface of said conductive housing; said method comprising moving said conductive tuning member such that a distance that it protrudes from said inner surface of said conductive housing towards at least one feed line changes, a bandwidth of said filter changing in response to said change.
  • a third aspect of the present invention provides a method of constructing a filter with a desired bandwidth comprising: arranging a plurality of resonator members comprising an input resonator member and an output resonator member on a surface within a conductive housing in such a way that a signal exciting said input resonator is transferred between said plurality of resonator members to an output resonator member; introducing an input feed line into said housing to transmit a signal to said input resonator member such that said signal excites said input resonator member; introducing an output feed line into said housing to receive a signal from said output resonator member; introducing a conductive tuning member to protrude between at least one of said feed lines and an inner surface of said conductive housing, said protruding member affecting a capacitance of said at least one feed line; and adjusting a distance that said conductive tuning member protrudes from said inner surface of said housing towards said at least one feed line to attain a desired bandwidth for said filter.
  • said method comprises a further step performed prior to adjusting said distance that said conductive tuning member protrudes, of filling said housing with a granular dielectric material.
  • the present technique provides a filter particularly for use in radio frequency applications that comprises resonator assemblies or resonator members in resonant chambers coupled together.
  • a signal is input via a feed line to an input resonator member and then travels between the resonator members until it is output via an output resonator member to an output feed line.
  • the bandwidth of the filter may be tuned by varying a loaded quality factor Q of the filter using a conductive member arranged so as to change the capacitance of the feed line(s) and thereby the loaded quality factor and bandwidth.
  • the resonant chambers of the filter maybe loaded with a dielectric powder, this changes the frequency of resonance of the filter and allows filters to be made smaller and indeed to be frequency tuned using the powder.
  • the powder affects the bandwidth of the filter and thus, the change in bandwidth needs to be compensated for if a filter with the required specifications that operates at the required frequency is to be achieved.
  • the present technique provides an effective way of changing the loaded quality factor and bandwidth of the filter as required allowing a tunable filter filled with dielectric powder to be produced.
  • embodiments of the present invention are particularly applicable to filters filled with dielectric powders where the frequency has been significantly changed by the powder and a change in bandwidth is required to allow the filter to operate within its required specifications.
  • FIG. 1a shows the equivalent circuit of a third order combline filter, where the combline resonator assemblies are represented by parallel LC circuits, whereas the couplings (wall openings) between the resonator assemblies are represented by admittance inverters.
  • the equivalent circuit of an admittance inverter, together with two adjacent resonator assemblies is given in Fig. 1b .
  • ⁇ 0 ⁇ L 0 1 ⁇ 0 ⁇ C 0
  • (5) - (7) refer to the case of the empty cavity, i.e. when there is no dielectric powder present.
  • Z d and ⁇ d are the characteristic impedance and the length of the dielectric filled combline resonator assembly and ⁇ d is the resonant frequency of the dielectric filled resonator assembly.
  • Figure 2 shows an input/output resonator assembly and its equivalent circuit, the value of the loaded Q factor for such a resonator assembly being given by equation (4).
  • Q e ⁇ 0 2 ⁇ Y 0 ⁇ G ⁇ C k 2 Y 0 ⁇ G + ⁇ 0 2 ⁇ C k 2 2
  • this can be used to vary the loaded Q and in this way tune the bandwidth and allow a filter to be frequency tuned by being at least partially filled with dielectric powder while compensating for the undesirable and related changes in loaded Q and bandwidth by adjusting the capacitance of the feed line using a suitably located conductive tuning member.
  • Figures 3 , 8 , and 9 all show possible embodiments of input or output resonant assemblies having different structures.
  • FIG. 3 shows schematically an example embodiment of an input or output resonator chamber 10 where the tuning member 30 is a screw mounted on the same surface as the resonator member or post 30 shown simply as a block, close to the feed line 20.
  • the structure of Fig. 3 was designed and simulated for different values of intrusion z of the tuning member.
  • Fig. 4 presents the perspective view of the resonator assembly of Figure 3 shown in more detail.
  • the position of the input feed was initially set at a height of 3.74 mm and this arrangement yielded a loaded Q of about 54 when the tuning member was not present.
  • the bandwidth tunability screw with a diameter of 4 mm was then added, as illustrated in Fig. 4 , and its intrusion was varied from 0 to 1.5 mm.
  • Fig. 5 presents loaded Q factors for different values of the screw intrusion.
  • the intrusions of the screw in this figure are 0 mm, 0.9 mm and 1.5mm.
  • the loaded Q increases with increasing intrusion height, and stands at 95 for a screw intrusion of 1.5mm.
  • the intrusion of the screw also generates a small frequency shift, but this can be easily compensated for using a frequency tuning screw.
  • the higher the loaded Q the smaller the percentage bandwidth of the filter.
  • Figure 6 shows the insertion loses of a 5 th order bandpass Chebyshev filter which was initially designed for no screw intrusion and for operation in the frequency range 699-716 MHz, with a minimum return loss of 16 dB.
  • Figure 7 shows the return loss of the same filter.
  • a bandwidth tunability screw was inserted and for different intrusions, i.e. 0.9 mm and 1.5 mm, the filter was retuned using coupling and tuning screws only, without changes to the dimensions of the resonators and the wall openings.
  • the return loss of 16 dB is maintained for all three filters, while the percentage bandwidth is varied from 2.3 % to 1.1 % (corresponding to absolute bandwidths between 16.3 MHz and 8 MHz respectively) for screw intrusions between 0 mm and 1.5 mm.
  • Figures 8 and 9 show different structural alternatives of an input or output resonator chamber for use in a filter according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG 8 shows a resonator chamber 10 where the feed line 20 does not abut the resonator member 30 but extends towards it from a side wall.
  • the tuning screw 40 is located on the same side wall as the feed line 20 and can be extended by different amounts into the chamber 10 to change the capacitance of the feed line 20 and thereby the loaded quality factor and the bandwidth.
  • Figure 9 shows an alternative embodiment where the feed line 20 extends from the upper to lower surface of the housing adjacent to the resonator member 30 and the tuning member 40 extends into the housing by a varying amount between a side wall and the feed line 20.
