It may be provided through one case 180. When the terminal insertion hole 210 is formed from the top surface of the first case 180, a through hole is formed in the second case 181, and the depth of the terminal insertion hole 210 may be adjusted in consideration of this.

The portion having the smallest diameter in the terminal insertion hole 210 is defined as the first insertion hole 212, the portion having the next diameter is the second insertion hole 214, and the portion having the largest diameter is the third insertion hole 216. do.

Dielectric bush 220 is in the form of a two-stage cylinder. The dielectric bush 220 has a through hole 226 penetrating the center of the rotation shaft. The dielectric bush 220 is inserted into and fixed to the first insertion hole 212 and the second insertion hole 214. The dielectric bush 220 may be made of Teflon material. In one embodiment, one body is configured in the form of a two-stage cylinder, but is not limited thereto, and may be assembled to have a two-stage cylinder form with different diameters.

The pin member 230 is in the form of a two-stage cylinder in which the pin portion 232 and the terminal body portion 234 are integrally formed in the longitudinal direction. In one embodiment, the socket body 236 is formed in the terminal body 234. The fin member 230 may be gold plated on a BeCu (Beryllium Copper) material. The pin portion 232 is inserted into and fixed to the through hole 226 of the dielectric bush 220. The outer circumferential surface of the pin portion 232 is formed with a wedge-shaped protrusion 235 so that the pin portion 232 does not fall in the opposite direction in which the pin portion 232 is inserted. The annular stepped portion formed at the boundary between the pin portion 232 and the terminal body portion 234 is assembled to abut one side of the dielectric bush 220. The terminal body part 234 is formed to be shorter than the depth of the third insertion hole 216, and a hollow socket part 236 is formed therein. The terminal body portion 234 is formed with a cone-shaped opening 238 that decreases in diameter from the inlet. In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the terminal body portion 234 in the region where the cone-shaped opening 238 is formed is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the central axis, for example. The first annular groove 237 is formed inside the opening 238 having a cone shape, and the separation of the elastic connector 240 inserted therein can be prevented. A spring 250 may be inserted between the innermost inner surface of the opening 238 and the tip of the insertion portion of the elastic connector 240 to further provide a force for pushing the elastic connector 240 out of the opening 238. .

The elastic connector 240 extends from the pinned contact portion 244 and the pinned socket contact portion 244 of the cylindrical structure inserted into the socket portion 236, the truncated cone shape inserted corresponding to the opening 238 of the cone shape. An impedance matching portion 246 is integrally formed in the longitudinal direction. The elastic connector 240 may be gold plated on the BeCu material. In the middle of the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical structure is formed a wedge-shaped annular projection 242 protruding from the outer peripheral surface. The annular protrusion 242 is accommodated in the first annular groove 237 when the elastic connector 240 is inserted into the socket 236 to prevent the elastic connector 240 from being separated from the socket 236.

The angle of the pin socket contact portion 244 is formed 5 degrees to 10 degrees larger than the angle of the cone-shaped opening portion 238 of the socket portion 236 with respect to the central axis. In addition, the elastic connector 240, the elastic connector 240 is inserted into the socket portion 236, the cross-shaped cut portion 248 is formed locally along the central axis from the outer surface exposed to the outside. The depth of the incision 248 extends through the truncated cone shape to the cylindrical structure of the elastic connector 240. In one embodiment, the cutout 248 is illustrated as a cross shape, but is not limited thereto. The cutout 248 may have a straight shape or a plurality of slots.

The elastic connector 240 touches the cone-shaped opening 238 of the socket 236 in a state where the elastic connector 240 is inserted into the socket 236 so that the cross-shaped cutout 248 is not retracted. Protrudes from the bottom surface 188 of the first case 180, and has a length in which the elastic connector 240 is inserted while pressing the opening 238 of the socket portion 236 when the cavity filter 18 is mounted. Can be.

The outer edge of the outer surface of the elastic connector 240 is an area electrically connected to the electrode pad formed on the PCB board 130 to which the cavity filter 18 is assembled while the elastic connector 240 is retracted. This outer edge is defined by the electrode edge 249. In one embodiment, the electrode corner 249 is formed in a round shape in the range of R0.1 to R0.5, even if the elastic connector 240 is retracted to form a shallow cone shape in which the outer surface is concave in the plane. 249 is provided to have a uniform contact area with the electrode pad formed on the PCB board 130. The cavity filter 18 is actually assembled with the PCB board 130 and may have various height deviations. Even if the elastic connector 240 is retracted by forming the electrode edges 249 in a round shape, the cavity filter 18 may be uniform. It can have one contact area.

The angle of the opening 238, the angle of the pin socket contact 244, the length of the elastic connector 240 and the round size of the electrode edge 249 may be defined by one side or the second case 181 of the first case 180. It is preferable to select based on when the assembly reference plane and the PCB board 130 are combined. In more detail, when the PCB board 130 is coupled, the elastic connector 240 is pushed up and slides along the opening 238 of the socket 236, and the cross-shaped cutout 248 is lifted up. When the cutout 248 is retracted, the angle of the pin socket contact portion 244 of the elastic connector 240 decreases, and the contact area between the opening 238 and the pin socket contact portion 244 changes. In addition, as the outer surface of the elastic connector 240 is retracted in the form of a shallow cone, the area where the electrode edge 249 contacts the electrode pad of the PCB board 130 is also changed. In addition, the spring 250 inserted into the socket 236 pushes the elastic connector 240 toward the PCB board 130 and the force including the reaction force from the pin socket contact 244 acts on each contact. Each contact surface is elastically deformed.

Design specifications of the socket portion 236, the elastic connector 240 and the spring 250 to determine the contact area is preferably selected in consideration of the impedance of the terminal portion (20). That is, it is preferable to determine the design specification that the change of the impedance along the signal path of the terminal portion 20 including the contact resistance determined by the contact area and the contact pressure is minimized. In particular, in the case of a mobile communication antenna signal in which a high frequency is transmitted, the signal quality may be deteriorated if the characteristic impedance of the signal line is not constant. Impedance mismatching of the signal path in multi-gigahertz signals can increase the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), which can degrade signal quality due to signal reflection and distortion.

Consideration for maintaining the impedance of the terminal unit 20 uniformly is also necessary in selecting the size of the first insertion hole 212 to the third insertion hole 216 and the size of the terminal body portion 234. The third insertion hole 216 is spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the terminal body portion 234 with a predetermined air gap, and between the first and second insertion holes 212 and 214 and the pin portion 232, for example, Teflon. The dielectric bush 220 of the material is mediated. The pin part 232 and the terminal body part 234 of the pin member 230 have a stepped diameter, and the diameter and the depth of the second insertion hole 214 are considered in this regard, the pin member 230 and the terminal insertion hole 210. It is preferable to select so that the impedance of the liver remains constant.

The dielectric constant of the Teflon material is about twice that of air. In consideration of this, the diameter of the third insertion hole 216 is larger than that of the first and second insertion holes 212 and 214. For example, instead of Teflon, if the dielectric bush 220 is made of PEEK material having a dielectric constant about three times that of air, the diameter of the third insertion hole 216 is larger than that of Teflon.

5A to 5D illustrate the shapes of the electrode corners 249 and the impedance matching unit 246 of the elastic connector 240 in contact with the electrode pads of the PCB board 130 in various forms. These shapes and sizes can be selected by performing numerical analysis in consideration of the distance from the third insertion opening 216 or by evaluating the VSWR of the terminal unit 20 using, for example, a network analyzer.

5A illustrates an example in which the impedance matching part 246 protrudes vertically at a position away from the pin socket contact part 244, and the electrode edge 249 is an example in which a fine round of R0.1 is formed. 5B is an example in which the inclination angle of the pin socket contact portion 244 of the elastic connector 240 is maintained and extends to the electrode edge 249. 5C illustrates a case in which the impedance matching unit 246 is formed to have an inclined surface in which the diameter decreases again in a position deviating from the pin socket contact portion 244. FIG. 5D illustrates an example in which a diameter of the electrode edge 249 is relatively large rounded to R0.5, having an inclined surface that decreases again in diameter at a position away from the pin socket contact portion 244. 5E illustrates a case in which the spring 250 is omitted, a force (contact pressure) for pushing the electrode pad of the elastic connector 240 and the PCB board 130 in contact with the elastic connector 240 is cross-cut in the elastic connector 240. It is an example showing the case where the part 248 is formed by the reaction force from the pin-socket contact part 244 as it retracts.

A second annular groove 270 may be formed outside the third insertion hole 216 to receive the star washer 260 that surrounds the signal line, surrounds the cylindrical portion, and is inserted to secure the ground connection.

The elastic connector 340 includes a circular spring portion 344 and two plate-like protrusions 342 projecting perpendicularly to the circumference from two points 346 adjacent to the circumference of the circular spring portion 344 on one side. The width of the elastic connector 340 is formed so that the plate-like protrusion 342 can be inserted into the socket 336. The elastic connector 340 may be formed of a BeCu material and may be gold plated, and the two plate-shaped protrusions 342 may be spaced apart from each other, and the circular spring part 344 may be deformed into an ellipse when an external force acts in the center direction thereof. It is formed to act as a leaf spring.

That is, when the two plate-like protrusions 342 of the elastic connector 340 are inserted into the socket portion 336, the two plate-like protrusions 342 are opened to each other so that the end portions of the two plate-like protrusions 342 are in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the socket portion 336 to maintain the inserted state. Can be. In addition, the circular spring portion 344 is in close contact with the cone-shaped opening 338, the position opposite the plate-shaped protrusion 342 protrudes by a predetermined distance from the bottom surface 188 of the first case 180. When the cavity filter 18 is mounted, the electrode pad is elastically deformed in an ellipse shape as the electrode pad presses the circular spring part 344, and the pin member 330 and the electrode pad are electrically connected to each other, even when external vibration is applied. It serves to provide sufficient contact pressure to press the contact site so that there is no change.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the push ring type elastic connector 340 is inserted into the socket 336, and the two plate-shaped protrusions 342 inserted into the cylindrical holes inside the socket 336 are soldered. It is preferred to be connected by soldering and joined to the pin assembly 32. Preferred embodiments of assembling the elastic connector 340 and the pin member 330 according to an embodiment are as follows.

After a certain amount of solder is inserted into the socket portion 336 with the plurality of pin members 330 prepared so that the openings 338 of the socket portion 336 of the pin member 330 are upward, the solder may melt. After the fin member 330 is heated, the elastic connector 340 is inserted. The elastic connector 340 inserted into the socket 336 is held until the solder cools and hardens. When the solder is hardened, the coupling between the elastic connector 340 and the pin member 330 is completed. Cavity filter 18 handles high frequency signals at the Giga Hertz level, and in delivering signals in these frequency bands, it is desirable to minimize the portion where mechanical contact may be incomplete.

The mobile communication base station antenna in which the cavity filter 18 is used is important to ensure extremely low noise characteristics in the operating frequency band. Accordingly, there is a need to minimize passive intermodulation distortion (PIMD) caused by not only mechanical connection parts of various RF connection elements, but also metal contact parts and inside dissimilar metal coated parts. In particular, a radio frequency signal having high frequency and high energy may cause an intermediate frequency by mixing between multiple frequencies by nonlinearity of voltage and current at these contacts or the like. The signal quality of the antenna may be greatly degraded by the intermediate frequency which is close to the frequency of the main signal among the induced intermediate frequencies. This PIMD can be minimized by reliably joining the plate-like protrusions 342 inserted into the socket portion 336 by soldering.

The pin assembly 32 employing the push ring type elastic connector according to an embodiment of the present invention is electrically and physically connected by soldering as described above, and the cavity filter 18 is installed in the form of a circular leaf spring. It is characterized in that it is connected to the electrode pad of the PCB substrate. In particular, the circular spring portion 344 provides a stable mechanical connection with the electrode pad, and because the impedance fluctuations of the signal line is small, the signal reflection performance is implemented in a simple component structure.

Referring to FIG. 9, the elastic connector 340 according to an embodiment may be press sheet metal formed from a spring plate and undergo heat treatment to form a state in which a plurality of elastic connectors 340 are easily bent and separated while one side is attached. Can be made. Since the circular spring portion 344 is in contact with the opening 338 of the socket portion 336 and the electrode pad, fine blanking is performed so that the burrs of the corner portion can be generated only inside the circular portion by fine blanking. It is desirable to.

The diameter of the circular spring portion 344 is selected based on the outer diameter of the terminal body portion 334. The circular spring portion 344 has two points in close contact with the cone-shaped opening 338 of the socket portion 336, and is spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the third insertion hole 216 to have a predetermined characteristic impedance. This impedance value preferably forms the diameter of the circular spring portion 344 so as to be equal to or similar to the characteristic impedance between the outer diameter of the terminal body portion 334 and the third insertion opening 216. Impedance mismatching of the signal path in a signal of several hertz level may increase the voltage standing wave ratio so that the signal quality may be degraded due to signal reflection and distortion, so the change in impedance is preferably minimized.

The circular spring portion 344 has a circular one side in contact with the electrode pad and is divided into two parts and electrically connected to the opening 338 of the socket portion 336, but the circular spring portion 344 has a diameter of 1 compared to the width. Since it may be determined at a level of about -2 times, when viewed from the inner circumferential surface of the third insertion hole 216 corresponding to the ground electrode, it may be seen that one cylindrical electrode is electrically extended. That is, in the high frequency signal band transmitted from the cavity filter 18 as in the present invention, even if the shape of the circular spring portion 344 is connected to the socket portion 336, the variation in impedance may be small.

10 to 17 compare the RF characteristics of the various types of contact RF terminal unit 20 and the shape of the electric field through computer simulation. The right side of the analytical model is the terminal portion 20, and the left side is a cylindrical terminal corresponding to the electrode pad, and surrounds the cylindrical ground terminal.

Referring to FIG. 11, it can be seen that a terminal section of a conventional plunger structure shown in the middle of the electric field distribution appears due to structural limitations. The pin portion supported by the spring has a considerably smaller diameter than the pin housing accommodating the pin, and there is a section in which the gap is rapidly separated from the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical ground end. As a result, the terminal portion of the general plunger structure has a smaller diameter of the protruding pin portion than the outer diameter of the plunger body, resulting in a sudden change in impedance, and thus has a high insertion loss (S21) value and a reflection loss (S11) value.

The analysis shows that the insertion loss is -0.006dB and the return loss is -28dB at 4 GHz. This can be interpreted as a large reflection of the signal due to the impedance fluctuation region in the middle of the signal path.

Referring to FIG. 13, in the case of the terminal unit 20 using the push pin type elastic connector according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it can be seen that the distribution of the electric field is relatively uniform. The push pin type elastic connector can maintain the spacing of the impedance discontinuous section relatively narrow, for example, 0.5 mm or less, and be similar to the outer diameter of the terminal body portion 234 based on the inner circumferential surface of the third insertion hole 216. It is advantageous to minimize the variation of impedance. Analysis results show that the insertion loss is -0.0003dB and the return loss is -41dB at 4 GHz.

Referring to FIG. 15, even in the terminal part 30 employing the push ring type elastic connector according to the exemplary embodiment, the pin assembly 32 may have a relatively uniform electric field with the inner circumferential surface of the third insertion hole 216. It can be seen forming. Although the shape of the electric field is different from the inside of the circular spring portion 344, the distribution of the electric field is formed outside the circular spring portion 344, the change of the electric field is continuously made with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the third insertion hole 216 You can see that. That is, since there is no section in which the impedance of the signal line is changed discontinuously, there is an advantage that the insertion loss and the return loss can be kept low. On the other hand, the circular spring portion 344 has a simple structure while ensuring sufficient contact pressure, it can be deformed in various sizes can be easily impedance matching. Analysis results show that the insertion loss is -0.003dB and the return loss is -31dB at 4 GHz.

16 and 17, the insertion loss and the reflection loss of the three types of terminal parts described above can be compared, and the terminal part 20 having the push pin structure has the best signal quality and the terminal part 30 having the push ring structure. ) Also showed sufficient performance for practical use.

In the above comparison, the influence of PIMD generation due to incomplete internal contact between the pin portion of the general plunger type and the pin housing is not considered in the analysis, and in consideration of this, the general plunger structure may further degrade the signal transmission quality. have. On the other hand, the terminal portion 20 having the push pin structure is firmly contacted by elasticity with both contact portions having an annular contact surface by the elastic connector 240, and the terminal portion 30 having the push ring structure is the socket portion 336. Is directly bonded by soldering, and the PCB board 130 can secure a stable contact by the elastic spring portion 344 of the circular spring part 344, so that even if external vibration is applied, the signal quality can be maintained uniformly without increasing PIMD. have.
