Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronically adjustable high-frequency bandpass filter (HF bandpass filter), which has a resonance structure formed from a stripline with at least one perturbation, the stripline forming a closed square loop and an integrated component with electronic at each corner adjustable capacity is arranged.
- HF bandpass filter electronically adjustable high-frequency bandpass filter
- Electronically adjustable high-frequency band-pass filters are required in many areas of high-frequency technology, for example in radar technology. Such filters are used e.g. in the receiving channel of
- bandpass filters Used in radar systems. These bandpass filters should have a small size, a low insertion loss and an amplitude variation that is as small as possible over the center frequency setting range.
- High-frequency bandpass filters can be implemented by a resonance structure formed from a stripline, the dimensions of which are matched to the desired filter parameters.
- an electronically adjustable HF filter is known, which has a resonance structure formed from a stripline with at least one perturbation for double-mode excitation.
- the stripline forms a closed square loop, in the corners of which, in one embodiment, a varactor diode with an electronically adjustable capacitance is arranged.
- the center frequency of the bandpass filter can be electronically adjusted between 1.5 and 1.62 GHz via these varactor diodes.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an electronically adjustable RF bandpass filter which has a low insertion loss and an amplitude variation that is as small as possible over the center frequency setting range and which can be implemented with a small overall size.
- the proposed RF bandpass filter has a resonance structure formed from a stripline with at least one perturbation, by means of which double-mode excitation is achieved.
- the strip conductor forms a closed square loop with a rectangular indentation on each side, an integrated component with an electronically adjustable capacitance being arranged at an inner corner of each indentation.
- Inner corners of the indentations are to be understood as the corners of the indentations which are in the inner region of the square loop, that is to say not on the sides of the square formed by the square loop.
- This configuration forms an electronically adjustable HF bandpass filter which, on the one hand, due to the special shape of the resonance structure and, on the other hand, due to the arrangement of the integrated components with electronically adjustable capacitance at the inner corners of the
- the HF filter can be implemented in a particularly space-saving manner.
- the HF filter can be implemented with low insertion loss and has a very low one Amplitude variation over the center frequency adjustment range of the filter.
- so-called PTICs passive tunable integrated circuits
- capacitance diodes in these components it is not the distance d of the depletion zone but the permeativity s r that changes with the applied voltage, since a ferroelectric material, in particular barium-strontium-titanate, is used as the dielectric material.
- the coupling-in and coupling-out from the resonance structure preferably take place in each case via a coupling structure made up of intersecting conductor track sections, one section of which runs parallel to one side and the other perpendicular to this side of the square loop.
- the vertical section extends into the respective rectangular indentation in order to realize a double-sided coplanar coupling.
- the dimensioning of the filter in particular the dimensions of the resonance structure or conductor tracks, as well as the choice of the suitable integrated components with electronically adjustable capacitance is carried out in an HF simulation program, over which the width of the conductor tracks, the outer dimensions of the square and the rectangular indentations are looped can be optimized for the desired parameters.
- the HF filter can thus be dimensioned for different frequencies or frequency ranges.
- the proposed HF bandpass filter can be used for all frequency-selective high-frequency applications, for example in radar systems in which an electronically adjustable center frequency of the bandpass filter is desired.
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of an exemplary
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of the layout of the inner area of the filter from FIG. 1 without the PTICs.
- Figure 1 shows a photo in plan view of the circuit board 1, on which the HF-
- the filter has a resonance structure formed by a strip conductor 2.
- the strip conductor 2 forms a closed square loop with rectangular indentations on each side, as can be seen from FIG.
- a perturbation 3 is formed, by means of which a double-mode excitation of the resonance structure is made possible, which leads to an enlarged pass bandwidth of the filter.
- a PTIC 4 the capacitance of which is electronically adjustable, is arranged at an inner corner of each rectangular indentation. To set the capacity, each of these PTICs 4 is connected to a central via 9, via which a direct voltage can be applied to the PTICs 4.
- the ground vias 8 to which the PTICs 4 are each connected can also be seen in FIG.
- the PTICs 4 are arranged symmetrically in the resonance structure.
- FIG. 1 also shows the adaptation network 6 for adapting the coupling structures 5 to the input or output line 7 with an impedance of 50 ohms.
- FIG. 2 again shows a plan view of the inner area of the RF filter of FIG. 1 without the PTICs 4.
- the contact surfaces or conductor tracks for the connection of the PTICs with the ground vias 8 and the via 9 for the direct voltage supply (DC) can be seen better.
- the resonance structure of the filter shown in FIG. 1 can, for example, have a side length of approximately 30 mm.
- the filter can thus be implemented in a very space-saving manner.
