Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coaxial RF connector for connecting a coaxial RF line to an RF housing according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention generally falls within the field of radio frequency signal transmission via coaxial connectors and cables.
  • the signal transmission between high-frequency modules is usually realized via corresponding cable connections via screwed connectors.
  • coaxial plug-in connectors are commonly used, which optimally have low signal reflections at the transition points between cable and plug connector as well as plug connectors and module housings.
  • FIG Fig. 1 An exemplary prior art transition is in the exploded view of FIG Fig. 1 shown in cross section. It shows a coaxial RF connector 100 with inner conductor 102 and outer conductor 101 for connection to a housing 300.
  • the connection element 200 likewise has inner 202 and outer conductor 201.
  • the space between inner conductor 202 and outer conductor 201 is filled with a glass material to ensure gas tightness.
  • the coaxial plug connector 100 is placed centered over the inner conductor 202 of the connection element 200.
  • the inner conductor 102 of the connector 100 has at its end via a corresponding spring contact ("tulip").
  • a discontinuity in the waveguide in the area between the connector and the housing Due to tolerances in the manufacturing processes of the components involved, there is a discontinuity in the waveguide in the area between the connector and the housing. This is from the enlarged view of the transition region according to Fig. 2 clearly visible.
  • the tulip is usually reset a small distance ⁇ 1 (relative to the outer conductor 101) in order not to be able to touch down.
  • the connection element 200 is inserted deeper into the housing 300 by a certain distance .DELTA.2 so as not to protrude.
  • This structure causes the capacitance of the waveguide to decrease in a short section, increasing the impedance of the line.
  • the impedance mismatch occurs, in particular in the range above 20 GHz to significant reflections that can be for the operation of the high-frequency package of disadvantage.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the known connector so to reduce the described impedance jump at the transition and the associated reflections.
  • a compensation element This is designed such that it extends at least in a circumferential angle range ⁇ 360 ° of the coaxial RF connector in the radial direction in the direction of the inner conductor towards as the outer conductor of the connector.
  • the compensation element does not touch the inner conductor.
  • the compensation element ensures that the outer conductor of the connector is brought closer to the inner conductor in the region of the transition. As a result of this measure, the capacity covering increases locally in the transition region, so that the discontinuity and the associated reflections can be reduced. As a result, the impedance of the waveguide in the transition region will differ as little as possible from the standard value (50 ohms or 75 ohms) of the line impedance.
  • the shape of the compensation element can be varied to a large extent, as far as the above basic rule is observed.
  • the compensation element may be formed as a sheet-like element with an opening for the inner conductor.
  • the aperture can be made circular in an advantageous embodiment similar to the circular structure of the coaxial connector and arranged concentrically.
  • the compensation element of the invention can be easily and inexpensively made of a thin metal sheet. It offers here passivated steel, since a variety of connectors is also made of this material. It is also possible to apply any other type of surface coating, such as electroplated gold, to a dielectric base material as needed.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the fact that the inventive use of the compensation element does not require a modification of the other components involved.
  • the invention is by no means limited to the above-mentioned gastight connection elements. If no hermetic termination of the housing is desired, a Teflon-based termination may be used instead of a glass material.
  • the compensation element is expediently attached to the housing before mounting the plug.
  • the 3 and 4 show the exploded view of a coaxial RF connector 10 in hermetically sealed housings according to the invention.
  • a coaxial connector 200 is soldered, which allows a hermetic closure of the housing.
  • the compensation element 400 according to the invention is present.
  • the latter is here designed as a thin metal sheet with a circular opening 401, which is positioned concentrically to the coaxial conductor structure.
  • the diameter of the circular aperture 401 of the compensation element 400 is chosen to be smaller than the inner diameter of the outer conductor 101 of the connector 100.
  • the inner diameter of the outer conductor 201 of the connection element 200 depends in particular on the dielectric constant of the material present between the inner conductor 202 and the outer conductor 201. When in the 3 and 4 In the embodiment shown, the inner diameters of the outer conductors of connection element 200 and plug connector 100 are approximately equal. It should be noted, however, that also embodiments with different inner diameters are according to the invention, since the effect of the compensation element according to the invention is also effective in such configurations.
  • Fig. 5 shows the RF connector according to the invention in a further embodiment in 3D representation.
  • the flat compensation element 400 is placed, wherein the inner conductor 202 of the connector is inserted through the circular opening 401 of the compensation element 400.
  • Connecting the coaxial connector 100 is applied by mating the inner conductor and with attached to the housing by means of two screw 105.
  • the connector 100 which forms one end of the coaxial line to be connected to the housing 300, may either be integral with the coaxial line or may be detachably connected thereto.
  • Fig. 6 shows a field of individual compensation elements 400, which are machined out of the same sheet by means of an etching process. Since the elements typically have only small dimensions, a large amount of such compensation elements can be obtained from a single sheet. A cost-effective, based on standard processes manufacturing is thus possible.
  • Fig. 7 shows four different designs for the design of the compensation element 400, in each case with respect to the cross section of the inner conductor of the connection element and outer conductor of the connector.
  • the position of the inner circumference of the outer conductor 101 of the connector and of the outer circumference of the inner conductor 202 of the connecting element is shown, as they appear in side view in the axial direction.
  • the execution according to a) corresponds to the in the Fig. 3 to 6 shown embodiments, ie circular aperture 401 in the compensation element 400, concentrically positioned to the structure of the coaxial line.
  • the embodiment according to b) shows a compensation element with an opening in the form of a triangle.
  • precisely one such circumferential angle range is provided present, which is exactly 360 °.
  • the embodiment according to c) again shows a circular opening in the compensation element, however, the circle is arranged eccentrically to the structure of the coaxial line. This results in a circumferential angle range ⁇ of more than 180 °, within which the compensation element 400 is closer to the center in the radial direction than the outer conductor 101.
  • the embodiment according to d) shows a compensation element 400, which in a large circumferential angle range has a circular profile with a radius greater than the inner diameter of the outer conductor 101, and deviates only in a small circumferential angular range of the circular course, within which there is a bulge in the direction has the center.
  • a circumferential angular range ⁇ results within which the compensation element 400 is located closer to the center in the radial direction than the outer conductor 101.
  • Fig. 8 the course of the input reflection factor over the frequency is shown, with (curve 12) and without compensation element (dashed curve 11). It can be seen clearly that the input reflection factor in the range of 20 GHz is significantly improved by the measure according to the invention.
  • Fig. 9 shows the simulation result in the time domain for the same back-to-back configuration. Shown is the course of the impedance over time. The goal is to keep the impedance curve as constant as possible in the range of the standard amount of 50 ohms. The smaller the deviation from this value over time, the better the matching over all frequencies.
  • the impedance curve of the uncompensated structure shows significant inductive peaks in the range of 55 ps and 250 ps to over 52 ohms, each associated with a transition.
  • the tips are significantly reduced, as in Fig. 9 can be seen in the course of the curve 13.
