平衡式三頻帶通濾波器 Balanced three-band pass filter

本發明是有關於一種濾波器,特別是指一種平衡式三頻帶通濾波器。 The present invention relates to a filter, and more particularly to a balanced three-band pass filter.

近年隨著無線通訊技術的蓬勃發展,單一的電子產品,不但要能滿足多種通訊系統的應用,還要越加輕薄短小,但這也使得電子產品中的元件密度越來越高,雜訊和干擾的問題也更嚴峻。 In recent years, with the rapid development of wireless communication technology, a single electronic product, not only to meet the application of a variety of communication systems, but also to be lighter and thinner, but this also makes the density of components in electronic products higher and higher, noise and The problem of interference is also more serious.

參閱圖1,習知例如美國專利公告號:5,825,263之說明書所揭露的一種帶通濾波器9,包含一第一濾波單元91及一第二濾波單元92。 Referring to FIG. 1, a band pass filter 9 is disclosed in the specification of the U.S. Patent No. 5,825,263, which includes a first filtering unit 91 and a second filtering unit 92.

該第一濾波單元91包括一第一輸入端911及一第一輸出端912。該第二濾波單元92包括一第二輸入端921及一第二輸出端922。且當該第一輸入端911及該第二輸入端921接收一對差模訊號(兩個相位相差180度的訊號)時,該第一輸出端912及該第二輸出端922也輸出一對相關於該對差模輸入訊號的差模濾波訊號(兩個相位也相差180度);而當該第一輸入端911及該第二輸入端921接收一對共模訊號(兩個同相位的訊號)時,該第一輸出端912及該第二輸出端922也輸出一對相關於該對共 模輸入訊號的共模濾波訊號(兩個相位同相)。 The first filtering unit 91 includes a first input end 911 and a first output end 912. The second filtering unit 92 includes a second input end 921 and a second output end 922. When the first input terminal 911 and the second input terminal 921 receive a pair of differential mode signals (two signals with a phase difference of 180 degrees), the first output terminal 912 and the second output terminal 922 also output a pair. The differential mode filtering signal (the two phases are also 180 degrees apart) related to the pair of differential mode input signals; and the first input terminal 911 and the second input terminal 921 receive a pair of common mode signals (two in phase The first output terminal 912 and the second output terminal 922 also output a pair related to the pair The common mode filter signal of the analog input signal (both phases are in phase).

該對差模濾波訊號及該對共模濾波訊號都能從一通帶通過,所以不具有共模訊號拒斥的功效,因此於實際應用時,還需要加上一平衡不平衡轉換器(Balun)8,而該平衡不平衡轉換器8可以將具有相差的該兩個差模濾波訊號轉換成同相加總輸出,並將同相的該兩個共模濾波訊號轉換成具有180度的相差而相消,因此達到共模訊號拒斥的效果。 The pair of differential mode filtering signals and the pair of common mode filtering signals can pass through a passband, so there is no common mode signal rejection effect, so in the actual application, a balance unbalance converter (Balun) is also needed. 8. The balun 8 can convert the two differential mode filtered signals having phase differences into an in-phase summing output, and convert the two common mode filtered signals in phase to have a phase difference of 180 degrees. Eliminate, so the effect of common mode signal rejection is achieved.

然而,該種帶通濾波器9的缺點在於:必須額外結合該平衡不平衡轉換器8才能達到共模訊號拒斥的效果,因此增加額外的路徑傳輸損耗、體積及成本,故不符現今電子產品的需求。 However, the band-pass filter 9 has the disadvantage that the balun 8 must be additionally combined to achieve the common mode signal rejection effect, thereby increasing the extra path transmission loss, volume and cost, so that it does not conform to the current electronic products. Demand.

因此,本發明之目的,即在提供一種不需要額外加上一平衡不平衡轉換器,就能達到共模訊號拒斥的平衡式三頻帶通濾波器。 Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a balanced three-band pass filter that achieves common mode signal rejection without the need for an additional balun.

於是本發明平衡式三頻帶通濾波器,包含一基板、一接地面、一第一諧振單元至一第四諧振單元及兩貫孔。 Therefore, the balanced three-band pass filter of the present invention comprises a substrate, a ground plane, a first resonant unit to a fourth resonant unit, and two through holes.

該基板具有間隔相疊的一第一表面及一第二表面。 The substrate has a first surface and a second surface that are spaced apart from each other.

該接地面設置於該基板的該第一表面。 The ground plane is disposed on the first surface of the substrate.

該第一諧振單元至該第四諧振單元設置於該基 板的第二表面且彼此相間隔,且該第二諧振單元及該第三諧振單元介於該第一諧振單元及該第四諧振單元之間,該第一諧振單元及該第二諧振單元部分平行間隔以相互耦合,該第三諧振單元及該第四諧振單元部分平行間隔以相互耦合,該第二諧振單元及該第三諧振單元部分平行間隔以相互耦合,且該第一諧振單元至該第四諧振單元的每一者包括兩分別位於一對稱平面的兩相反側的諧振器。 The first to sixth resonance units are disposed on the base a second surface of the board and spaced apart from each other, and the second resonating unit and the third resonating unit are interposed between the first resonating unit and the fourth resonating unit, the first resonating unit and the second resonating unit portion Parallelly spaced to be coupled to each other, the third resonating unit and the fourth resonating unit are spaced apart in parallel to be coupled to each other, the second resonating unit and the third resonating unit are partially spaced apart to be coupled to each other, and the first resonating unit is coupled to the Each of the fourth resonating units includes two resonators on opposite sides of a plane of symmetry, respectively.

並且,該第一諧振單元設置有兩用以接收訊號的輸入埠,該第四諧振單元設置有兩用以輸出訊號的輸出埠。 Moreover, the first resonating unit is provided with two input ports for receiving signals, and the fourth resonating unit is provided with two output ports for outputting signals.

該等貫孔沿著該對稱平面設置,且該第二諧振單元是經由其中一個貫孔電連接到該接地面,該第三諧振單元是經由另一個貫孔電連接到該接地面。 The through holes are disposed along the plane of symmetry, and the second resonant unit is electrically connected to the ground plane via one of the through holes, and the third resonant unit is electrically connected to the ground plane via another through hole.

該平衡式三頻帶通濾波器於差模操作時,該對稱平面等效成一完美電牆,該第一諧振單元及該第四諧振單元的該等諧振器透過該完美電牆等效電連接到該接地面,每一諧振器諧振於一第N諧振頻率,該第N諧振頻率對應一第N通帶,其中,參數N為從1遞增的奇數,該等輸入埠接收的一對差模訊號通過該等通帶耦合至該等輸出埠。 When the balanced three-band pass filter is operated in a differential mode, the plane of symmetry is equivalent to a perfect electric wall, and the resonators of the first resonating unit and the fourth resonating unit are electrically connected to each other through the perfect electric wall. The ground plane, each resonator resonates at an Nth resonant frequency, the Nth resonant frequency corresponds to an Nth passband, wherein the parameter N is an odd number increasing from 1 and the pair of differential mode signals received by the inputs 埠The passbands are coupled to the output ports.

在共模操作時,該第一諧振單元及該第四諧振單元在該對稱平面因為未連接到該接地面,故允許共模訊號的存在,相對的,該等貫孔連接該第二諧振單元及該第 三諧振單元的共模訊號,因而破壞了原本可能存在於該第二及第三諧振單元的共模訊號(或言之,該等貫孔將該第二諧振單元及該第三諧振單元的共模訊號短路到該接地面)。當該等輸入埠用以接收一對共模訊號時,激發於該第一諧振單元的共模訊號在耦合至該第二諧振單元時會被電連接於該第二諧振單元的該貫孔破壞,殘存的共模訊號再耦合至該第三諧振單元時會被另一個該貫孔更進一步地破壞,因而耦合至該第四諧振單元,乃至於抵達等輸出埠的共模訊號已經微乎其微,亦即,該等輸入埠接收到的該對共模訊號實質地不耦合至該等輸出埠。 In the common mode operation, the first resonating unit and the fourth resonating unit allow the presence of the common mode signal because the symmetry plane is not connected to the ground plane. In contrast, the through holes are connected to the second resonating unit. And the first The common mode signal of the three resonant units, thereby destroying the common mode signals that may exist in the second and third resonant units (or, in other words, the common holes of the second resonant unit and the third resonant unit The analog signal is shorted to the ground plane). When the input signals are used to receive a pair of common mode signals, the common mode signal excited by the first resonant unit is electrically connected to the through hole of the second resonant unit when coupled to the second resonant unit. When the remaining common mode signal is coupled to the third resonant unit, it is further destroyed by the other through hole, and thus coupled to the fourth resonant unit, so that the common mode signal arriving at the output port is negligible. That is, the pair of common mode signals received by the inputs are substantially not coupled to the output ports.

In the present specification, the resonant frequency of the fundamental mode of each of the resonators 31, 41, 51, 61 The rate is the first resonant frequency, the first high-order mode resonant frequency is the third resonant frequency, and the second high-order mode resonant frequency is the The fifth resonant frequency, and so on.

以駐波的觀點來說明,當該等輸入埠32用以接收該對差模訊號時(以下稱之為差模操作),該八個諧振器31、41、51、61中的任一者位於該對稱平面XPOS的一端是電連接到該接地面2,而另一端則是開路的自由端,所以該八個諧振器31、41、51、61可視為八個四分之一波長共振的諧振器,換句話說,每一諧振器31、41、51、61的自由端到該對稱平面XPOS的一電性長度為一個四分之一波長的奇數倍,l=[(1/4)×λ]×N,其中,參數l是該電性長度,參數λ代表一個波長的電性長度。 In the view of the standing wave, when the input ports 32 are used to receive the pair of differential mode signals (hereinafter referred to as differential mode operation), any of the eight resonators 31, 41, 51, 61 One end of the symmetry plane XPOS is electrically connected to the ground plane 2, and the other end is an open end free end, so the eight resonators 31, 41, 51, 61 can be regarded as eight quarter-wave resonance The resonator, in other words, an electrical length of the free end of each of the resonators 31, 41, 51, 61 to the plane of symmetry XPOS is an odd multiple of a quarter wavelength, l = [(1/4 ×λ]×N, where the parameter l is the electrical length and the parameter λ represents the electrical length of one wavelength.

由於N是從1遞增的正奇數,因此該平衡式三頻帶通濾波器於差模操作時確實可產生三個通帶。 Since N is a positive odd number that is incremented from 1, the balanced three-band pass filter does produce three passbands during differential mode operation.

並且,該第一諧振單元3及該第二諧振單元4之間的耦合係數、該第三諧振單元5及該第四諧振單元6之間的耦合係數及該第二諧振單元4及該第三諧振單元5之間的耦合係數均正相關於每一通帶的頻寬。 And a coupling coefficient between the first resonating unit 3 and the second resonating unit 4, a coupling coefficient between the third resonating unit 5 and the fourth resonating unit 6, and the second resonating unit 4 and the third The coupling coefficients between the resonant units 5 are all positively related to the bandwidth of each pass band.

當該較佳實施例於共模操作時,激發於該第一諧振單元3的一共模訊號在耦合至該第二諧振單元4時會被電連接於該第二諧振單元4的該貫孔7破壞,殘存的共模訊號再耦合至該第三諧振單元5時會被另一個該貫孔7 更進一步地破壞,因而耦合至該第四諧振單元6,乃至於抵達等輸出埠62的共模訊號已經微乎其微,換句話說,該等貫孔7將該第二諧振單元4及該第三諧振單元5的該共模訊號短路到該接地面2,而使該等輸入埠32接收到的該對共模訊號實質地不耦合(於本較佳實施例小於百分之一)至該等輸出埠62。 When the preferred embodiment is in the common mode operation, a common mode signal excited by the first resonating unit 3 is electrically connected to the through hole 7 of the second resonating unit 4 when coupled to the second resonating unit 4. When the residual common mode signal is coupled to the third resonating unit 5, the other through hole 7 is Further destroying, thus being coupled to the fourth resonating unit 6, so that the common mode signal arriving at the output 埠62 is already negligible, in other words, the through holes 7 the second resonating unit 4 and the third resonating The common mode signal of unit 5 is shorted to the ground plane 2 such that the pair of common mode signals received by the input ports 32 are substantially uncoupled (less than one percent in the preferred embodiment) to the outputs埠62.

更詳細地說明,於共模操作時,該第一及第四諧振單元3、6的每一諧振器31、61的一電性長度為二分之一波長的整數倍,l’=[(1/2)×λ]×k,其中,參數l’是該電性長度,參數λ代表一個波長的電性長度,參數k=1、2、3、...;不同地,該第二及第三諧振單元4、5的每一諧振器41、51因為經由相對應的該貫孔7實體電連接到該接地面2,所以會破壞電性長度為二分之一波長的整數倍的共模諧振訊號,因此,共模操作時該等諧振器31、61所對應的第二諧振頻率、第四諧振頻率及第六諧振頻率(f 2f 4f 6...)的訊號耦合至該等諧振器41、51後會被破壞或無法存在,換言之,來自該第一諧振單元3的該共模訊號幾乎無法耦合到該第二諧振單元4,而再耦合至第三諧振單元5的該共模訊號在被再度破壞之後更形微弱,由於第二諧振單元4與第三諧振單元5的雙重共模拒斥的效果,該等輸入埠32接收的一對共模訊號實質地不耦合至該第四諧振單元6與該等輸出埠62。 Explaining in more detail, during the common mode operation, an electrical length of each of the resonators 31, 61 of the first and fourth resonating units 3, 6 is an integer multiple of one-half wavelength, l' = [( 1/2)×λ]×k, where the parameter l′ is the electrical length, the parameter λ represents the electrical length of one wavelength, the parameters k=1, 2, 3, ...; differently, the second And each of the resonators 41, 51 of the third resonating units 4, 5 is physically connected to the ground plane 2 via the corresponding through hole 7, so that the electrical length is broken by an integral multiple of one-half of the wavelength. The common mode resonant signal, therefore, the signals of the second resonant frequency, the fourth resonant frequency, and the sixth resonant frequency ( f 2 , f 4 , f 6 ...) corresponding to the resonators 31, 61 during common mode operation The coupling to the resonators 41, 51 may be destroyed or may not exist. In other words, the common mode signal from the first resonating unit 3 is hardly coupled to the second resonating unit 4, and is coupled to the third resonating unit. The common mode signal of 5 is weaker after being re-damaged due to the double common mode rejection of the second resonating unit 4 and the third resonating unit 5. Such input port 32 receives a common mode signal is not substantially coupled to the resonance unit 6 and the fourth port 62 such an output.

其中,每一諧振器31、41、51、61的該第一線 段至該第三線段311~313、411~413、511~513、611~613的特性阻抗與該第一至第五諧振頻率f 1~f 5之間的關係滿足以下條件: The characteristic impedance of the first line segment to the third line segment 311~313, 411~413, 511~513, 611~613 of each resonator 31, 41, 51, 61 and the first to fifth resonances The relationship between the frequencies f 1 to f 5 satisfies the following conditions:

其中,Z 1是該等第一線段311、411、511、611的特性阻抗,Z 2是該等第二線段312、412、512、612的特性阻抗,而Z 3是該等第三線段313、413、513、613的特性阻抗。 Where Z 1 is the characteristic impedance of the first line segments 311, 411, 511, 611, Z 2 is the characteristic impedance of the second line segments 312, 412, 512, 612, and Z 3 is the third line segment Characteristic impedance of 313, 413, 513, 613.

為了設計方便,於本較佳實施例,該十二條線段311、411、511、611、312、412、512、612、 313、413、513、613的電性長度實質地相等,而只需要改變該等特性阻抗Z 1Z 2Z 3,就能調整以上四式所示的該等諧振頻率比f 2/f 1f 3/f 1f 4/f 1f 5/f 1For the convenience of design, in the preferred embodiment, the electrical lengths of the twelve line segments 311, 411, 511, 611, 312, 412, 512, 612, 313, 413, 513, 613 are substantially equal, but only By changing the characteristic impedances Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , the resonant frequency ratios f 2 / f 1 , f 3 / f 1 , f 4 / f 1 , f 5 / f shown in the above four equations can be adjusted. 1 .

於本較佳實施例,該第一諧振頻率f 1、該第三諧振頻率f 3及該第五諧振頻率f 5分別設計在1.57GHz、3.5GHz與5.25GHz,以分別對應涵蓋GPS L1系統(1.557~1.593GHz)、WiMAX(3.4~3.7GHz)及WLAN(5.15~5.35GHz)這三個通訊頻帶。該基板1是型號Duroid 6010之微波基板,板厚為0.635毫米、介電係數為10.2、損耗正切(loss tangent)為0.0023。 In the preferred embodiment, the first resonant frequency f 1 , the third resonant frequency f 3 , and the fifth resonant frequency f 5 are designed at 1.57 GHz, 3.5 GHz, and 5.25 GHz, respectively, to respectively cover the GPS L1 system ( 1.557~1.593GHz), WiMAX (3.4~3.7GHz) and WLAN (5.15~5.35GHz) three communication bands. The substrate 1 is a microwave substrate of the model Duroid 6010 having a plate thickness of 0.635 mm, a dielectric constant of 10.2, and a loss tangent of 0.0023.

首先,我們依所需的諧振頻率比f 3/f 1f 5/f 1決定該等阻抗值Z 1Z 2Z 3First, we determine the impedance values Z 1 , Z 2 and Z 3 according to the required resonant frequency ratios f 3 / f 1 and f 5 / f 1 .

由於N為正奇數,所以前述f 2/f 1f 4/f 1的公式所代表的偶數的第二及第四諧振頻率f 2f 4不存在,故我們只需要考量f 3/f 1f 5/f 1的這兩個公式,因此選定參數K 1K 2分別為1.89、1.67;第一諧振頻率(1.57GHz)所對應之電性長度θ 01為40.3度,其中, Since N is a positive odd number, the even second and fourth resonant frequencies f 2 and f 4 represented by the above formulas of f 2 / f 1 and f 4 / f 1 do not exist, so we only need to consider f 3 / f 1 and f 5 / f 1 of the two formulas, so the selected parameters K 1 and K 2 are 1.89, 1.67, respectively; the electrical length θ 01 corresponding to the first resonant frequency (1.57 GHz) is 40.3 degrees, wherein

此設計中,為顧及實作上之精確度限制,我們取Z 1=21.6Ω、Z 2=36Ω及Z 3=68Ω,該等第一線段311、411、511、611的線寬各自為2.31mm,該等第二線段312、412、512、612的線寬各自為1.04mm,且該 等第三線段313、413、513、613的線寬各自為0.23mm。 In this design, in order to take into account the accuracy limit of the implementation, we take Z 1 = 21.6 Ω, Z 2 = 36 Ω, and Z 3 = 68 Ω, and the line widths of the first line segments 311, 411, 511, and 611 are each 2.31 mm, the line widths of the second line segments 312, 412, 512, 612 are each 1.04 mm, and the line widths of the third line segments 313, 413, 513, 613 are each 0.23 mm.

接下來,我們可進一步設計該第一至第三耦合間隙34、56、45之間的耦合間距與耦合長度(耦合間距定義為平行於該對稱平面XPOS方向的寬度、耦合長度定義為垂直於該對稱平面XPOS方向的長度),以及每一輸入埠32及每一輸出埠62到該對稱平面XPOS的該直線距離D1。 Next, we can further design the coupling pitch and the coupling length between the first to third coupling gaps 34, 56, 45 (the coupling pitch is defined as the width parallel to the XPOS direction of the symmetry plane, and the coupling length is defined as perpendicular to the The length of the symmetry plane XPOS direction), and the linear distance D1 of each input 埠32 and each output 埠62 to the symmetry plane XPOS.

首先,設定該第一諧振頻率、第三諧振頻率及第五諧振頻率所對應的第一通帶、第三通帶及第五通帶之比例頻寬(△)分別為8%、10%與6%(同理,為了安全起見,此值取的比前述實際規格所需GPS、WiMAX、WLAN的三個頻寬2.3%、8.57%與3.8%略高),同時選擇四階Butterworth函數為濾波器所要之響應,其低通濾波器原型的各元件參數值可參閱Pozar微波工程之書,所需之耦合係數和該直線距離D1之外部品質因素可計算如下。 First, the ratios (Δ) of the first passband, the third passband, and the fifth passband corresponding to the first resonant frequency, the third resonant frequency, and the fifth resonant frequency are set to be 8%, 10%, respectively. 6% (Same reason, for the sake of safety, this value is slightly higher than the three frequencies of GPS, WiMAX, and WLAN required by the above-mentioned actual specifications by 2.3%, 8.57%, and 3.8%), and the fourth-order Butterworth function is selected. For the response of the filter, the values of the components of the low-pass filter prototype can be found in the Pozar Microwave Engineering book. The required coupling factor and the external quality factor of the linear distance D1 can be calculated as follows.

該第一及第四諧振單元3、6在該第一通帶及第三通帶工作時所需之外部品質因數Qdd=g0×g1/△,可分別算得Qdd為9.57、7.65及12.76,該第一及第二諧振單元3、4或該第三及第四諧振單元5、6之間的耦合係數M34,56=△/√(g0×g1)可分別算得為0.067、0.084及0.05,而該第二及第三諧振單元4、5之間的耦合係數 M45=△/√(g2×g3)為0.043、0.054及0.032。得知該等耦合係數M34,56、M45後可決定所需的耦合間距與耦合長度,而由算得之外部品質因數,可決定該直線距離D1。 The external quality factor Q dd =g0×g1/Δ required for the first and fourth resonating units 3 and 6 to operate in the first passband and the third passband can be calculated as Q dd of 9.57, 7.65 and 12.76, respectively. The coupling coefficient M 34,56 =Δ/√(g0×g1) between the first and second resonating units 3, 4 or the third and fourth resonating units 5, 6 can be calculated as 0.067, 0.084, respectively. 0.05, and the coupling coefficient M 45 = Δ / √ (g2 × g3) between the second and third resonance units 4, 5 is 0.043, 0.054, and 0.032. After knowing the coupling coefficients M 34 , 56 , M 45 , the required coupling pitch and coupling length can be determined, and the calculated linear distance D1 can be determined by the calculated external quality factor.

參閱圖4,我們先以電磁模擬軟體(HFSS)模擬差模工作時的該外部品質因數Qdd與該直線距離D1,再輔以圖3選出饋入位置(該直線距離D1)之值。另一方面,我們在固定耦合長度(如圖2所示)的情況下,以軟體模擬差模耦合係數M34,56、M45與該第一至第三耦合間隙耦34、56、45各自的耦合間距的關係。 Referring to Fig. 4, we first simulate the external quality factor Q dd and the linear distance D1 when the differential mode is operated by the electromagnetic simulation software (HFSS), and then select the value of the feeding position (the linear distance D1) by referring to FIG. On the other hand, in our case the fixed coupling length (FIG. 2), the simulation software to differential mode coupling coefficient M 34,56, M 45 each of the first to third coupling gap coupled 34,56,45 The relationship of the coupling pitch.

參閱圖5,顯示算得之所需耦合係數M34,56即可決定該第一諧振單元3與該第二諧振單元4之間的耦合間距G12,且該第三諧振單元5與該第四諧振單元6之間的耦合間距等於該耦合間距G12=1mm。 Referring to FIG. 5, the calculated coupling coefficient M 34, 56 is calculated to determine the coupling pitch G12 between the first resonating unit 3 and the second resonating unit 4, and the third resonating unit 5 and the fourth resonating The coupling pitch between the units 6 is equal to the coupling pitch G12 = 1 mm.

參閱圖6,顯示算得之所需耦合係數M45即可決定該第二諧振單元4與該第三諧振單元5之間的耦合間距G22=0.4mm。 Referring to FIG. 6, the calculated coupling coefficient M 45 is determined to determine the coupling distance G22=0.4 mm between the second resonating unit 4 and the third resonating unit 5.
