Description

一种外凸的空腔三模谐振结构及含有该谐振结构的滤波器 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信领域中所用的基站滤波器、天馈类滤波器、合路器及抗干扰滤波器等,滤波器的种类可以为带通、带阻、高通、低通,具体涉及一种外凸的空腔三模谐振结构及含有该外凸的空腔三模谐振结构的滤波器。
背景技术
随着第四代移动通讯向第五代移动通讯的快速发展,对通讯设备的小型化和高性能化的要求越来越高。传统滤波器由于其金属腔体积较大且性能一般,故逐渐被单模介质滤波器取代,单模介质滤波器主要包括TE01模介质滤波器和TM模介质滤波器,TE01模介质滤波器和TM模介质滤波器一般多采用单模介质谐振的方式,该谐振方式虽然能够提升一定Q值,但其存在制作成本高、体积大的缺点。
为了解决单模介质滤波器成本高、体积大的技术问题,三模介质滤波器应运而生。现有技术中,三模介质滤波器一般分为TE三模滤波器和TM三模滤波器。TE三模滤波器具有耦合方式复杂、体积大、Q值高的特点;TM三模滤波器具有耦合方式简单、体积小、Q值低的特点。对于相同频段的TE三模滤波器和TM三模滤波器而言,TM三模滤波器的重量、成本和体积比TE三模滤波器的小得多。故现有技术中一般将TE三模滤波器用于设计窄带滤波器,其余类型的滤波器一般采用TM三模滤波器。由于TM三模滤波器的介质谐振块上会焙银,焙银后在银层和介质谐振块的表面之间形成了玻璃态的物质,导致实际导电率大大下降,从而实际Q值较低,进一步限制了TM三模滤波器的使用范围。故如何获得一种小体积、高Q值的TM三模滤波器是滤波器研发的新方向。
现有的TM三模滤波器,其一般均是采用立方体/类立方体/球形谐振腔内设置立方体/类立方体/球形介质谐振块的结构,介质谐振块由介质基座支撑,且谐振腔的单边尺寸与介质谐振块的单边尺寸的比值一般大于1.6。当谐振腔的体积保持不变且介质谐振块略微变大时或者谐振腔的体积略微变小且介质谐振块保持不变或者谐振腔的体积略微变小且介质谐振块略微变大时,由表1提供的数据对比可知,随着谐振腔的单边尺寸与介质谐振块的单边尺寸比值的加大,基模的Q值会随比值的增加而加大,高次模的Q值会 随比值的增加而减小,介质谐振块尺寸随着比值加大而减小,空腔的尺寸不断加大,在接近空腔3/4波长尺寸时,由于介质谐振块的尺寸不断缩小,基模Q值也随之降低,高次模的频率随着比值的增加,离基模频率时远时近。
不同比值对应的谐振腔的空腔体积也不同,可根据实际需求选择。在表1比值范围内的不同尺寸的空腔及对应的类似立方体谐振器,对滤波器性能要求很高时可以选择比值在1.6以上尺寸的单腔。故当谐振腔的单边尺寸与介质谐振块的单边尺寸的比值大于1.6时,Q值的大小与谐振腔和介质谐振块之间的间距的大小呈正比,但是其带来的缺点是滤波器体积过于庞大。
申请号为2018101455572的专利中公开了一种小体积、高Q值的空腔三模结构,其通过保证介质谐振块的外表面与空腔内表面平行布置且两个表面间距极小的情况下可以有效地减小滤波器的体积、提高其的Q值。但此种结构存在如下技术问题:1.因为介质谐振块与空腔内壁的间距极小,因此调谐螺杆的调节范围有限,从而不利于介质谐振块的安装调试;2.因为介质谐振块与空腔内壁的间距极小,因此介质谐振块与空腔之间的间距对单腔谐振频率敏感度较高,从而不利于介质谐振块的批量生产;3.因为介质谐振块与空腔内壁的极小间距对单腔谐振频率敏感度较高,因此介质谐振块与空腔的设计精度要求极高,从而增加了加工制造成本。

进一步的,类似正方体介质谐振块为单一介电常数或复合介电常数,复合介电常数由两种及以上不同介电常数组合而成,复合介电常数组成的介质谐振块,不同介电常数材料可以进行上下、左右、不对称、嵌套等方式组合,介质谐振块内嵌套不同介质常数时,可以嵌套一层也可以嵌套多层不同介电常数的介质材料,复合介电常数的介质谐振块需要符合前述Q值转换点的变化规律。在介质块谐振杆三模之间进行切边耦合时,为了保持所需频率,其切边相邻二个面需平行调整对应边长。介质谐振块为陶瓷或介质材料,介质谐振块表面可以增加不同厚度及不同介电常数的介质薄片。
进一步的,介质支撑架的介电常数类似空气介电常数,或者支撑架的介电常数大于空气介电常数小于介质谐振块介电常数,介质支撑架的表面积小于或等于类似正方体介质谐振块的表面积,介质支撑架为圆柱体、正方体及长方体等形状。介质支撑架为实心 结构或者空心结构,空心结构的介质支撑架为单孔或多孔,孔的形状为圆形、方形、多边形及弧形,介质支撑架的材料包括空气、塑料、陶瓷、介质;介质支撑架与介质谐振块连接,介质支撑架介电常数类似空气介电常数时,介质支撑架对三模谐振频率无影响;介质支撑架的介电常数大于空气但小于介质谐振块的介电常数时,为了保持原有三模频率,介质支撑架所对应于介质谐振块轴向的尺寸略微减小;类似空气介电常数支撑架与大于空气但小于介质谐振块支撑架,可以组合安装于介质谐振块不同方向及不同对应面,当以上二种不同介质电常数的支撑架组合使用时,其大于空气支撑架所对应介质谐振块的轴向方向尺寸在原来基础上略微减小。
进一步的,空腔的形状为类似正方体,为了实现三模之间耦合,在不改变类似正方体介质谐振块尺寸的情况下,也可在空腔任意相邻二面个进行切边来实现三模之间的耦合,切边尺寸与所需耦合量大小相关;三模耦合也可以其中二个模之间的耦合通过类似正方体切边实现,其余耦合通过空腔相邻的二个边切角来实现,空腔相邻边切角时不能破壁,切角面需与空腔完全密封。空腔材料为金属或者非金属,金属及非金属表面电镀铜或者电镀银,在空腔为非金属材料时空腔内壁必须电镀导电材料如银或者铜,如塑料及复合材料表面电镀铜或者银。
进一步的,空腔外凸的空腔三模谐振结构与单模谐振结构、双模谐振结构、三模谐振结构进行不同形式组合,形成的不同体积的滤波器;外凸的空腔三模谐振结构和单模谐振腔、双模谐振腔、三模谐振腔之间因排列组合形成的任意两个谐振腔之间的耦合,必须是两个谐振腔中的谐振杆是平行的情况下,才能通过两个谐振腔之间窗口大小实现耦合,根据耦合量大小来决定窗口尺寸;滤波器的功能特性包含带通、带阻、高通、低通以及它们相互之间形成的双工器、多工器及合路器。
本发明的类正方体介质谐振块的介电常数大于支撑架的的介电常数,空腔内壁的单边尺寸与介质谐振块的单边尺寸比值在1.03-1.30之间时,高次模Q值反转成基模Q值,三模介质基模Q值提升高次模Q值降低,相对于传统单模及三模介质滤波器同体积、同频率下Q值提升30%以上,根据此三模结构与不同形类型单腔的进行组合,如三模结构加空腔单模、三模与TM模、三模与TE单模组合,三模数量在滤波器内用得越多,滤波器体积越小,插入损耗也越小;空腔外凸的空腔三模谐振结构可以在分别在X、Y、Z轴方向产生三模谐振,在X、Y、Z轴方向产生三模谐振时。
当空腔内壁边长与介质谐振块相应边长尺寸比值为1.0到Q值转换的转换点1时,在比值为1.0时空腔为纯介质Q值,当空腔尺寸增加时,Q值在纯介质时的基础上不断增加,高次模的Q值大于基模Q值,当比值增加到转换点1时,原高次模的Q值近似为新的基模Q值。
进入转换点1后,在保持基模谐振频率不变的情况下,基模的Q值大于高次模的Q值。随着比值的增加,由于介质块及空腔的尺寸都在增加,基模的Q值也会增加,高次模的Q值也同时会增加,接近Q值转换转换点2时,基模Q值达到最高,在基模Q值转换转换点1与基模Q值转换转换点2之间,高次模的频率离基模的频率随着空腔与介质谐振块的比值在转换点1到转换点2的变化会时远时近。
进入转换点2后,基模的Q值小于高次模的Q值,随着比值的增加,此时介质谐振块尺寸在减小,空腔的尺寸在增加,基模的Q值会不断增加,当比值接近转换点3时,基模的Q值与转换点2时的Q值接近。
比值进入转换点3后,基模的Q值会随比值的增加而加大,高次模的Q值会随比值的增加而减小,介质谐振块尺寸随着比值加大而减小,空腔的尺寸不断加大,在接近空腔3/4波长尺寸时,由于介质谐振块的尺寸不断缩小,基模Q值也随之降低,高次模的频率随着比值的增加,离基模频率时远时近。转换点的具体比值与介质谐振块的介电常数、频率及介质谐振块是单一或复合介电常数相关。
空腔内壁边长及介质谐振块边长,在X、Y、Z轴三个方向尺寸可以相等,也可以不相等。空腔及类立方体介质谐振块在X轴、Y轴、Z轴尺寸相等时,可以形成三模;X轴、Y轴、Z轴三个方向的尺寸差值也可以略微不相等,当X、Y、Z轴其中一个轴方向的腔体与相应介质谐振块单边尺寸与另外二个方向的单边尺寸不同时,或者腔体及介质谐振块其中的任意一个对称单边尺寸与另外二个方向的单边尺寸不同时,其三模中一个模的频率会产生变化与另外二个模的频率不同,尺寸差异越大,其中一个模的频率也会与另外二个模差异越大,当一个方向的尺寸大于另外二个方向的尺寸时,频率在原来的基础上会下降,当一个方向的尺寸小于另外二个方向尺寸时,频率在原来的基础上会上升,从三模逐步变成为双模或者单模;如果空腔及谐振块三个轴向尺寸都差异过大时;当X、Y、Z轴三个方向对称单边尺寸不同时,其三模中三个模的频率都会有所不同,在三个方向的边长尺寸相差较大的情况下,基模为单模,在三个方向的边长尺寸相差不 大的情况下,频率差异也不大,虽然频率会有变化,但是还是可以通过调谐装置保持三模状态。
三模之间的耦合可以采用所述空腔外凸的空腔三模谐振结构中至少设置有两个用于改变空腔内简并三模电磁场正交特性的非平行布置的耦合装置,所述耦合装置包括设置于介质谐振块棱边旁的切角和/或孔,或包括设置于空腔棱边旁的倒角/切角,或包括设置于介质谐振块棱边旁的切角和/或孔,和空腔棱边旁的倒角/切角或包括设置于空腔内非平行平面上的抽头线或/片,所述切角的形状为三棱柱状或长方体状或扇形体状,所述孔的形状为圆形、长方形或多边形。切角或打孔后,保持频率的情况下,介质谐振块边长增加,Q值略微下降。切角或孔的深度根据所需耦合量的大小为贯穿或局部切角/局部孔结构,所述切角/倒角/孔的尺寸影响耦合量的大小。耦合调谐结构沿切角垂直或平行的方向上和/或孔平行的方向上布置有耦合螺杆,所述耦合螺杆的材料为金属,或耦合螺杆的材料为金属且金属表面电镀铜或电镀银,或耦合螺杆的材料为介质,或耦合螺杆的材料为表面金属化的介质;耦合螺杆的形状为金属杆、介质杆、金属盘、介质盘、金属杆配金属盘、金属杆配介质盘、介质杆配金属盘、介质杆配介质盘中的任意一种。
三模在X轴方向的谐振频率通过在空腔所对应的X轴线的一面或者两面场强集中的地方加装调试螺杆或调谐盘改变距离或者改变电容来实现;在Y轴方向的谐振频率可以通过在空腔所对应的Y轴线一面或者两面场强集中的地方加装调试螺杆或调谐盘来改变距离或者改变电容来实现;在Z轴方向的谐振频率可以通过在空腔所对应的Z轴线一面或者两面场强集中的地方加装调试螺杆或调谐盘来改变距离或者改变电容来实现。
介质谐振器Q值转换三模结构与单模谐振腔、双模谐振腔或三模谐振腔进行不同形式的任意排列组合,形成需要的不同尺寸的滤波器;滤波器的功能特性包含但不限于带通、带阻、高通、低通以及他们相互之间形成的双工器及多工器;单模谐振腔、双模谐振腔、三模谐振腔之间因组合排队形成的任意两个谐振腔之间的耦合,按照两个谐振结构是平行的且两个谐振腔之间通过窗口大小实现耦合。
本发明的有益效果是:本发明结构简单,使用方便,其通过设定介质三模的金属空腔内壁的单边尺寸与介质谐振块的单边尺寸比例在1.01-1.30之间,使得谐振杆与腔体之间配合形成三模结构的同时实现了特定参数的反翻,从而能够保证谐振杆与腔体的较小间距下获得高Q值;进一步的,本发明公开了一种外凸的空腔三模谐振结构的滤波器, 与传统三模滤波器相比,本发明在同频率及同体积前提下,插损减小30%以上。本发明的类正方体介质谐振块、介质支撑架及腔体盖板所组成的介质谐振器频率转换三模结构,在腔体x轴、y轴及z轴方向磁场相互正交及垂直,形成了三个互不干扰的谐振模,且高次模频率转换成高Q基模频率,在三个磁场之间形成耦合,通过调节耦合的强弱来满足滤波器不同的带宽需求。在一个典型1800MHz频率滤波器里面使用2个此外凸的空腔三模谐振结构的滤波器时,相当于原来空腔六个单腔的体积,体积在原来空腔滤波器的基础上可以减小40%,插入损耗也可以减小30%左右,由于体积大幅减少,且加工工时、电镀面积都会相应减少,虽然采用了介质谐振块但成本与空腔也相当,介质谐振块的材料成本如能大幅下降,此设计的成本优势会更明显,在滤波器腔体较多时,甚至可以采用3个三模结构,体积及性能的带来的提供还会更明显;进一步的,本发明在不大幅降低单腔Q值的前提下,通过在三模谐振结构基础上将介质谐振块和/或空腔改变成结构(设置至少一个端面),增大了调谐螺杆的调谐范围,同时降低了空腔与介质谐振块间的小间距对谐振频率的敏感度,便于生产调试,降低了生产成本。

如图6所示,本发明一种多模谐振结构另一种较佳实施例,包括空腔1,所述空腔1内设有介质谐振块2和介质支撑架3,所述介质谐振块2为类似正方体且一个或多个互不平行端面通过外凸形成,所述空腔1为类似正方体,所述介质谐振块2的一个端面通过一个介质支撑架3分别与空腔1内壁连接,所述空腔2互不平行的表面设为调谐螺杆孔;
如图7所示,本发明一种多模谐振结构另一种较佳实施例,包括空腔1,所述空腔1内设有介质谐振块2和介质支撑架3,所述介质谐振块2为类似正方体且一个或多个互不平行端面通过外凸形成,所述介质谐振块2为中空结构,其中空部分填充有嵌套介质谐振块4,所述空腔1为类似正方体,所述介质谐振块2的一个端面通过一个介质支撑架3分别与空腔1内壁连接,所述空腔2互不平行的表面设为调谐螺杆孔;
以上所有实施例仅为本发明的较佳实施例,不构成对其的限定,尤其是介质支撑架的形状和数量。
如实施例1到5所述介质谐振块2中相互垂直的三个棱边方向分别定义为X方向、Y方向和Z方向,三个方向是相对位置方向,并不唯一确定,介质谐振块2在X、Y、Z三个方向与对应面的介质支撑架分别形成X轴介质谐振杆、Y轴介质谐振杆和Z轴介质谐振杆,所述X轴介质谐振杆、Y轴介质谐振杆和Z轴介质谐振杆与空腔内部配合形成三个简并模;在X轴方向的谐振频率可以通过在金属腔所对应的侧壁加装调试螺杆来改变距离或者电容来实现;在Y轴方向的谐振频率可以通过在金属腔所对应的侧壁加装调试螺杆来改变距离或者电容来实现;在Z轴方向的谐振频率可以通过在金属腔所对应的侧壁加装调试螺杆来改变距离或者电容来实现。
射频信号经过三模谐振后会产生损耗,X、Y、Z方向三个简并模在工作时会产生热量,可以通过介质谐振块及多个介质支撑架与金属腔壁充分接触形成导热,使其滤波器能长时间稳定工作。
三个简并模两辆之间具有耦合装置,具体如图9所示:介质谐振块2上设有用于耦合X方向与Y方向谐振模式的第一平面j1、用于耦合Y方向与Z方向谐振模式的第二平面j2、用于耦合X方向与Z方向谐振模式的第三平面j3,所述第一平面j1、第二平面j2和第三平面j3分别两两相互垂直,第一平面j1与沿Z方向布置的棱边平行,第二平面j2与沿X方向布置的棱边平行,第三平面与沿Y方向布置的棱边平行。即三个简并模中,X方向的简并模与Y方向的简并模之间的耦合由介质谐振块A的X,Y平面交叉形成棱角沿Z轴方向切除部分棱角后的第一平面j1所形成;X方向的简并模与Z方向的简并模之间的耦合由介质谐振块的Y,Z平面交叉形成棱角沿X轴方向切除部分棱角后的第二平面j2所形成;Y方向的简并模与Z方向的简并模之间的耦合由介质谐振块的Z,X平面交叉形成棱角沿Y轴方向切除部分棱角后的第三平面j3所形成。耦合面的面积越大,耦合量越大,反之耦合量越小。介质谐振块所形成的三个简并模式,通过交叉耦合,可以形成传输零点,若X方向谐振模式,Y方向谐振模式之间的耦合,与Y方向谐振模式,Z方向谐振模式之间的耦合为主耦合,则X方向谐振模式,Z方向谐振模式之间的耦合为交叉耦合。
上述方案中,根据实际耦合量大小需要,第一平面j1可以设置一个或多个,设置多个第一平面j1时,多个第一平面j1之间平行布置;所述第二平面j2可以设置一个或多个,设置多个第二平面j2时,多个第二平面j2之间平行布置;所述第三平面j3可以设 置一个或多个,设置多个第三耦合面j3时,多个第三平面j3之间平行布置。
