Description

フェライト吸収型アイソレータFerrite absorption isolators
 本発明は、フェライト吸収型アイソレータ、特に、マイクロ波帯などで使用されるフェライト吸収型アイソレータに関する。 The present invention relates to a ferrite absorption isolator, and more particularly to a ferrite absorption isolator used in a microwave band or the like.
 一般に、アイソレータは信号を特定方向にのみ伝送し、逆方向には伝送しない特性を有し、携帯電話などの移動体通信機器の送信回路部に搭載されている。そして、フェライト吸収型アイソレータとしては、例えば、特許文献1,2に記載のものが知られている。この種のアイソレータは、直交する二つの線路(四つの開口を有している)に、振幅が等しく位相が1/4波長だけ異なる高周波電流が流れたとき、交点に回転する磁界(円偏波)が生じ、二つの線路の電磁波進行方向に応じて円偏波の旋回方向が逆転する現象を利用している。即ち、交点にフェライトを配置するとともに永久磁石によって静磁界を印加し、主線路を伝搬する電磁波の進行方向に応じて副線路からの反射波によって正の円偏波又は負の円偏波が生じる。正の円偏波が生じるとフェライトの磁気損失によって信号が吸収され、負の円偏波が生じると磁気損失は発生せずに信号はそのまま通過する。副線路の端部には信号を反射させるリアクタンス素子が接続される。 Generally, an isolator has a characteristic of transmitting a signal only in a specific direction and not transmitting in a reverse direction, and is mounted on a transmission circuit unit of a mobile communication device such as a mobile phone. And as a ferrite absorption type isolator, the thing of patent documents 1 and 2 is known, for example. This type of isolator is a magnetic field (circularly polarized wave) that rotates at the intersection when two high-frequency currents with the same amplitude and phase that differ by a quarter wavelength flow through two orthogonal lines (having four openings). ) Occurs, and the phenomenon that the turning direction of circularly polarized waves is reversed according to the electromagnetic wave traveling directions of the two lines is used. That is, a ferrite is placed at the intersection and a static magnetic field is applied by a permanent magnet, and a positive circularly polarized wave or a negatively circularly polarized wave is generated by a reflected wave from the sub line according to the traveling direction of the electromagnetic wave propagating through the main line. . When a positive circular polarization occurs, the signal is absorbed by the magnetic loss of the ferrite, and when a negative circular polarization occurs, the signal passes through without any magnetic loss. A reactance element that reflects a signal is connected to an end of the sub line.
 特許文献3に記載のアイソレータは、小型化するためになされたもので、図25及び図26に示すように、フェライト110上に三つの開口P1,P2,P3を有する接合導体115を形成し、接合導体115は、第1開口P1と第2開口P2との間に配置された主線路と、該主線路から分岐して第3開口P3に至る副線路とからなり、前記主線路は共振することがなく、第3開口P3にリアクタンス素子(コンデンサC又はインダクタL)を接続し、該リアクタンス素子はグランドに接続されるように構成されている。また、図26にアイソレータでは第1開口P1と第2開口P2にそれぞれインピーダンス整合用のコンデンサC111,C112が接続されている。 The isolator described in Patent Document 3 is made to reduce the size, and as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, a joining conductor 115 having three openings P1, P2, and P3 is formed on the ferrite 110, and The junction conductor 115 includes a main line disposed between the first opening P1 and the second opening P2, and a sub line that branches from the main line and reaches the third opening P3. The main line resonates. The reactance element (capacitor C or inductor L) is connected to the third opening P3, and the reactance element is connected to the ground. In the isolator shown in FIG. 26, impedance matching capacitors C111 and C112 are connected to the first opening P1 and the second opening P2, respectively.
 ところで、最近の携帯電話では、音声とデータを同時に送受信するために複数の周波数を同時に送受信するシステムが現れ、送信系の増幅器での相互変調歪等を防止するためにアイソレータには今まで以上に大きなアイソレーションを必要とされる。しかしながら、特許文献3に記載のアイソレータでは、この種のシステムに対してアイソレーションが不十分であることが問題点として浮かび上がってきた。 By the way, in recent mobile phones, a system that transmits and receives a plurality of frequencies simultaneously in order to transmit and receive voice and data at the same time has appeared, and in order to prevent intermodulation distortion and the like in a transmission amplifier, an isolator is more than ever. Large isolation is required. However, the isolator described in Patent Document 3 has emerged as a problem that the isolation is insufficient for this type of system.

The ferrite absorption isolator according to the second aspect of the present invention is
With ferrite,
A bonding conductor having a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, a fourth opening, and a fifth opening disposed in the ferrite;
A permanent magnet for applying a DC magnetic field to the ferrite;
With
The junction conductor includes a main line disposed between the first opening and the second opening, and three sub lines branched from the main line to reach the third opening, the fourth opening, and the fifth opening, respectively. Consists of
Two of the five openings are input / output ports, and reactance elements are connected to the remaining three openings, and the reactance elements are connected to the ground,
It is characterized by.
 前記第1及び第2の形態であるフェライト吸収型アイソレータにおいて、信号が順方向に伝搬する場合には入力用の開口からの入射波に対してリアクタンス素子が接続されている副線路からの反射波の位相が約90度ずれ、振幅が約半分となるように調整されている。また、信号が逆方向に伝搬する場合には入力用の開口からの入射波に対してリアクタンス素子が接続されている副線路からの反射波の位相が逆相となり、振幅が同等となるように調整されている。これにより、順方向では負の楕円偏波が、逆方向では直線偏波が発生する。負の楕円偏波は磁気共鳴点付近で透磁率がほぼゼロになるため、高周波エネルギーがフェライト外に集中するために低損失で伝搬する。一方、直線偏波は磁気共鳴点付近で大きな透磁率となるため、高周波エネルギーがフェライト内に集中し、磁気共鳴損のためにフェライトに吸収される。 In the ferrite absorption type isolators according to the first and second embodiments, when the signal propagates in the forward direction, the reflected wave from the sub line to which the reactance element is connected to the incident wave from the input opening Are adjusted so that their phases are shifted by about 90 degrees and the amplitude is about half. When the signal propagates in the opposite direction, the phase of the reflected wave from the sub line to which the reactance element is connected is opposite to the incident wave from the input opening so that the amplitude is equal. It has been adjusted. As a result, negative elliptically polarized waves are generated in the forward direction, and linearly polarized waves are generated in the reverse direction. Since the negative elliptical polarization has almost zero permeability near the magnetic resonance point, high-frequency energy concentrates outside the ferrite and propagates with low loss. On the other hand, since linearly polarized waves have a large magnetic permeability near the magnetic resonance point, high-frequency energy is concentrated in the ferrite and absorbed by the ferrite due to magnetic resonance loss.
 そして、前記アイソレータでは、複数の副線路を配置してその開口にリアクタンス素子を接続しているため、副線路ごとにアイソレーションが確保されることになり、全体としてのアイソレーションが大きくなる。 In the isolator, since a plurality of sub-lines are arranged and a reactance element is connected to the opening, isolation is ensured for each sub-line, and the isolation as a whole increases.
 本発明によれば、比較的大きなアイソレーションを確保できるフェライト吸収型アイソレータを得ることができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a ferrite absorption isolator capable of ensuring a relatively large isolation.

(Refer to the first embodiment, FIGS. 1 to 4)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the ferrite absorption isolator 1 </ b> A according to the first embodiment includes a ferrite 10 and a joint conductor 15 having four openings P <b> 1, P <b> 2, P <b> 3, P <b> 4 arranged on the surface of the ferrite 10. And a pair of permanent magnets 20 for applying a DC magnetic field to the ferrite 10, capacitors C1 and C2 as reactance elements, and a mounting substrate 30.
 接合導体15は、導電性金属による蒸着などで形成された薄膜あるいは導電性ペーストの塗布・焼付けにて形成された厚膜である。接合導体15の開口P1,P2の間に配置された主線路から分岐した2本の副線路は、主線路とほぼ直交する方向であって上方に延在されてフェライト10の裏面側から下面に回り込み、さらに表面側に短く回り込んでいる。2本の副線路の端部がそれぞれ開口P3及び開口P4とされている。そして、開口P3及び第4開口P4にはそれぞれコンデンサC1、C2の一端が接続される。本第1実施例において、主線路とは開口P1,P2間の導体を意味し、副線路とは主線路のほぼ中央部分から分岐して開口P3及び開口P4へ至る導体を意味する。 The joining conductor 15 is a thin film formed by vapor deposition using a conductive metal or a thick film formed by applying and baking a conductive paste. The two sub lines branched from the main line arranged between the openings P1 and P2 of the joint conductor 15 extend in the direction substantially orthogonal to the main line and extend upward from the back side of the ferrite 10 to the bottom surface. It wraps around and further wraps around to the surface side. The ends of the two sub-lines are an opening P3 and an opening P4, respectively. One ends of capacitors C1 and C2 are connected to the opening P3 and the fourth opening P4, respectively. In the first embodiment, the main line means a conductor between the openings P1 and P2, and the sub-line means a conductor branched from the substantially central portion of the main line to reach the openings P3 and P4.
 実装用基板30には、入力端子電極31、出力端子電極32、中継端子電極33,34、グランド端子電極41,42がそれぞれ形成されている。フェライト10と永久磁石20は同じ面積であり、フェライト10は両側面に永久磁石20が貼着された状態で実装用基板30上に搭載される。このとき、主線路の一端(開口P1)は入力端子電極31に接続され、他端(開口P2)は出力端子電極32に接続され、副線路の端部(開口P3,P4)は中継端子電極33,34にそれぞれ接続される。コンデンサC1は一端が中継端子電極33に接続され、他端がグランド端子電極41に接続される。コンデンサC2は一端が中継端子電極34に接続され、他端がグランド端子電極42に接続される。 The mounting substrate 30 is formed with an input terminal electrode 31, an output terminal electrode 32, relay terminal electrodes 33 and 34, and ground terminal electrodes 41 and 42, respectively. The ferrite 10 and the permanent magnet 20 have the same area, and the ferrite 10 is mounted on the mounting substrate 30 with the permanent magnets 20 attached to both side surfaces. At this time, one end (opening P1) of the main line is connected to the input terminal electrode 31, the other end (opening P2) is connected to the output terminal electrode 32, and the end portions (openings P3 and P4) of the sub line are relay terminal electrodes. 33 and 34, respectively. One end of the capacitor C <b> 1 is connected to the relay terminal electrode 33, and the other end is connected to the ground terminal electrode 41. One end of the capacitor C <b> 2 is connected to the relay terminal electrode 34, and the other end is connected to the ground terminal electrode 42.
 以上の構成からなるフェライト吸収型アイソレータ1Aにおいて、信号が順方向に伝搬する場合にはコンデンサC1,C2が接続されている副線路からの反射波が開口P1又は開口P2からの入射波に対して位相が約90度ずれ、振幅が約半分となるように調整されている。また、信号が逆方向に伝搬する場合にはコンデンサC1,C2が接続されている副線路からの反射波が開口P1又は開口P2からの入射波に対して位相が逆相となり、振幅が同等となるように調整されている。これにより、順方向では負の楕円偏波が、逆方向では直線偏波が発生する。負の楕円偏波は磁気共鳴点付近で透磁率がほぼゼロになるため、高周波エネルギーがフェライト10の外部に集中するために低損失で伝搬する。一方、直線偏波は磁気共鳴点付近で大きな透磁率となるため、高周波エネルギーがフェライト10の内部に集中し、磁気共鳴損のためにフェライト10に吸収される。 In the ferrite absorption isolator 1A having the above configuration, when a signal propagates in the forward direction, the reflected wave from the sub-line to which the capacitors C1 and C2 are connected is reflected with respect to the incident wave from the opening P1 or the opening P2. The phase is adjusted to be about 90 degrees and the amplitude is adjusted to about half. When the signal propagates in the opposite direction, the reflected wave from the sub line to which the capacitors C1 and C2 are connected has an opposite phase to the incident wave from the opening P1 or the opening P2, and the amplitude is equal. It has been adjusted to be. As a result, negative elliptically polarized waves are generated in the forward direction, and linearly polarized waves are generated in the reverse direction. Since the negative elliptical polarization has a permeability of almost zero near the magnetic resonance point, high-frequency energy is concentrated outside the ferrite 10 and propagates with low loss. On the other hand, since the linearly polarized wave has a large magnetic permeability near the magnetic resonance point, high-frequency energy is concentrated inside the ferrite 10 and is absorbed by the ferrite 10 due to magnetic resonance loss.
 第1実施例であるフェライト吸収型アイソレータ1Aの入力リターンロスを図4(A)に示し、アイソレーションを図4(B)に示し、挿入損失を図4(C)に示し、出力リターンロスを図4(D)に示す。フェライト10は飽和磁化が80mT、サイズは主面長さ1.0mm、主面高さ0.5mm、厚さ0.15mmのものを用いた。コンデンサC1,C2の容量はともに9pFである。入力端及び出力端の間のインピーダンスは7Ωであり、電気特性は入出力7Ωで正規化されている。824~849MHz帯で挿入損失が0.75dB、アイソレーションが12.9dBである。 The input return loss of the ferrite absorption isolator 1A according to the first embodiment is shown in FIG. 4A, the isolation is shown in FIG. 4B, the insertion loss is shown in FIG. 4C, and the output return loss is shown. As shown in FIG. The ferrite 10 used had a saturation magnetization of 80 mT, a size having a main surface length of 1.0 mm, a main surface height of 0.5 mm, and a thickness of 0.15 mm. Capacitors C1 and C2 have a capacitance of 9 pF. The impedance between the input terminal and the output terminal is 7Ω, and the electrical characteristics are normalized by the input / output 7Ω. In the 824 to 849 MHz band, the insertion loss is 0.75 dB and the isolation is 12.9 dB.
 ちなみに、図25に示したフェライト吸収型アイソレータ100Aの特性を、図4(A)~(D)のそれぞれに細線で示す。第1従来例であるアイソレータ100Aにおいては、フェライト110は飽和磁化が80mT、サイズは主面長さ0.8mm、主面高さ0.5mm、厚さ0.15mmのものを用いた。コンデンサCの容量は9pFである。入力端及び出力端の間のインピーダンスは10Ωであり、電気特性は入出力10Ωで正規化されている。824~849MHz帯で挿入損失が0.45dB、アイソレーションが6.6dBである。両者を比較すると、本第1実施例であるアイソレータ1Aがアイソレーションにおいて大きく向上している。これは、二つの副線路ごとにアイソレーションが確保されることになり、全体としてのアイソレーションが大きくなることによる。 Incidentally, the characteristics of the ferrite absorption isolator 100A shown in FIG. 25 are indicated by thin lines in FIGS. 4 (A) to 4 (D), respectively. In the isolator 100A as the first conventional example, a ferrite 110 having a saturation magnetization of 80 mT, a main surface length of 0.8 mm, a main surface height of 0.5 mm, and a thickness of 0.15 mm was used. Capacitor C has a capacitance of 9 pF. The impedance between the input end and the output end is 10Ω, and the electrical characteristics are normalized by the input / output 10Ω. In the 824 to 849 MHz band, the insertion loss is 0.45 dB and the isolation is 6.6 dB. When both are compared, the isolator 1A of the first embodiment is greatly improved in isolation. This is because the isolation is ensured for every two sub-lines, and the isolation as a whole increases.
 このフェライト吸収型アイソレータ1Aは、例えば、移動体通信機器の送信回路モジュールに組み込まれる。実装用基板30は送信回路モジュールにおけるパワーアンプを搭載するためのプリント配線基板であってもよい。この場合、接合導体15を備えかつ永久磁石20を貼着したフェライト10が送信モジュールの組立て工程に供給されることになる。この点は以下に示す実施例でも同様である。 The ferrite absorption type isolator 1A is incorporated in a transmission circuit module of a mobile communication device, for example. The mounting board 30 may be a printed wiring board for mounting a power amplifier in the transmission circuit module. In this case, the ferrite 10 provided with the joining conductor 15 and having the permanent magnet 20 attached thereto is supplied to the assembling process of the transmission module. This also applies to the embodiments shown below.
