Description

一种双频馈源、天线设备和无线通信设备A dual-frequency feed source, antenna equipment and wireless communication equipment 技术领域technical field
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种双频馈源、天线设备和无线通信设备。The present application relates to the technical field of communication, and in particular to a dual-frequency feed source, an antenna device and a wireless communication device.
背景技术Background technique
作为有效提升网络传输容量的技术手段,双频天线通过在同一链路传输高频信号和低频信号,将高频段的高容量和低频段的长距离结合起来,在提供大容量的同时还强化了服务质量(quality of service,QoS)业务保护机制。其中,高频信号,例如具有宽信道带宽的E-band信号,具有空间损耗大、雨衰大和波束窄等特点,导致其抗晃动性差,传输距离和稳定性受到限制,从而限制了双频天线的工作性能。As a technical means to effectively improve network transmission capacity, dual-frequency antennas transmit high-frequency signals and low-frequency signals on the same link, combining high-frequency high-capacity and low-frequency long-distance. Quality of service (quality of service, QoS) business protection mechanism. Among them, high-frequency signals, such as E-band signals with wide channel bandwidth, have the characteristics of large space loss, large rain attenuation, and narrow beams, which lead to poor anti-shaking performance, limited transmission distance and stability, thus limiting dual-band antennas. work performance.
双频馈源是双频天线的核心组件,双频馈源的结构在很大程度上决定了双频天线的工作性能。现有双频天线采用双频同轴馈源的方式实现双频带工作,外导体为工作在低频段的同轴喇叭,内导体为工作在高频段的介质棒。虽然能够实现双频段同轴馈源集成,双频天线在高频段的波束宽度较窄,抗晃动能力差,双频天线的最大增益角度偏离来波方向容易导致高频链路性能恶化甚至中断。The dual-frequency feed is the core component of the dual-frequency antenna, and the structure of the dual-frequency feed largely determines the performance of the dual-frequency antenna. The existing dual-frequency antenna adopts a dual-frequency coaxial feed to realize dual-band operation. The outer conductor is a coaxial horn operating in the low frequency band, and the inner conductor is a dielectric rod operating in the high frequency band. Although the integration of dual-band coaxial feeds can be achieved, the beamwidth of the dual-band antenna in the high-frequency band is narrow, and the anti-shaking ability is poor. The maximum gain angle of the dual-band antenna deviates from the incoming wave direction, which may easily lead to deterioration or even interruption of high-frequency link performance.
发明内容Contents of the invention
本申请实施例提供了一种双频馈源、天线设备和无线通信设备,用于提高双频天线的抗晃动能力。An embodiment of the present application provides a dual-frequency feed, an antenna device, and a wireless communication device, which are used to improve the anti-shaking capability of the dual-frequency antenna.
本申请实施例的第一方面提供一种双频馈源,该双频馈源可以应用于天线设备,该天线设备用于接收波束。该双频馈源包括业务波导和位于所述业务波导外部的多个比幅波导。业务波导包括外波导和嵌套在所述外波导内部的内波导,内波导与外波导同轴,所述多个比幅波导包括关于所述外波导的轴线对称设置的第一比幅波导和第二比幅波导。所述内波导的第一端、所述外波导的第一端和所述多个比幅波导的第一端分别用于接收所述波束中的第一信号、第二信号和第三信号,所述多个比幅波导的第二端用于连接自跟踪模块,自跟踪模块用于调整天线的最大增益方向。A first aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a dual-frequency feed, which can be applied to an antenna device, where the antenna device is used to receive beams. The dual-frequency feed includes a service waveguide and multiple amplitude-ratio waveguides outside the service waveguide. The service waveguide includes an outer waveguide and an inner waveguide nested inside the outer waveguide, the inner waveguide is coaxial with the outer waveguide, and the plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides include a first proportional amplitude waveguide and a first proportional amplitude waveguide arranged symmetrically about the axis of the outer waveguide. The second proportional amplitude waveguide. The first end of the inner waveguide, the first end of the outer waveguide, and the first ends of the plurality of ratio-amplitude waveguides are respectively used to receive the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal in the beam, The second ends of the plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides are used to connect to a self-tracking module, and the self-tracking module is used to adjust the maximum gain direction of the antenna.
由于外波导和内波导同轴,因此第一信号对应的最大增益方向和第二信号对应的最大增益方向一致,并且由于波束方向图中主波束通常关于波束方向对称,第一比幅波导和第二比幅波导关于外波导的轴线对称设置,当天线设备对准最大增益方向时,第一比幅波导和第二比幅波导接收到的信号的增益相同。以双反射面天线为例,当波束偏向第一比幅波导时,第一比幅波导所接收的第一子信号的增益小于第二比幅波导所接收的第二子信号的增益,当波束偏向第二比幅波导时,第二子信号的增益小于第一子信号的增益,因此第一子信号和第二子信号可用于确定天线设备当前的最大增益方向与第一信号和第二信号对应的最大增益方向之间的差异。这样,所述自跟踪模块可以根据所述第一子信号和第二子信号调整所述天线设备的最大增益方向,以增大所述第一信号和第二信号的增益,有利于提高天线设备的接收性能,提高天线设备的抗晃动性。当波束携带通信信息时,保证上行链路的性能。Since the outer waveguide and the inner waveguide are coaxial, the direction of maximum gain corresponding to the first signal is consistent with the direction of maximum gain corresponding to the second signal, and since the main beam in the beam pattern diagram is usually symmetrical about the beam direction, the first ratio waveguide and the second waveguide The two proportional amplitude waveguides are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the outer waveguide. When the antenna device is aligned with the maximum gain direction, the gains of the signals received by the first proportional amplitude waveguide and the second proportional amplitude waveguide are the same. Taking the dual reflector antenna as an example, when the beam is deflected to the first proportional waveguide, the gain of the first sub-signal received by the first proportional waveguide is smaller than the gain of the second sub-signal received by the second proportional waveguide, when the beam When it is biased towards the second ratio-amplitude waveguide, the gain of the second sub-signal is smaller than the gain of the first sub-signal, so the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal can be used to determine the current maximum gain direction of the antenna device and the first signal and the second signal corresponding to the difference between the directions of maximum gain. In this way, the self-tracking module can adjust the maximum gain direction of the antenna device according to the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal, so as to increase the gain of the first signal and the second signal, which is beneficial to improve the antenna device The receiving performance is improved, and the anti-shaking performance of the antenna equipment is improved. Uplink performance is guaranteed when beams carry communication information.
并且,使用业务波导接收波束中的信号以提供业务用信号,使用业务波导以外的多个比 幅波导接收波束中的信号以提供跟踪用信号,无需在内波导的第二端或外波导的第二端连接用于从相应接收信号中提取和模信号和差模信号的馈电网络,有利于降低工艺复杂度,从而降低加工难度和成本。And, use the service waveguide to receive the signal in the beam to provide the service signal, and use a plurality of amplitude ratio waveguides other than the service waveguide to receive the signal in the beam to provide the tracking signal, without the second end of the inner waveguide or the second end of the outer waveguide. The two ends are connected to the feed network used to extract the sum mode signal and the differential mode signal from the corresponding received signal, which is beneficial to reduce the complexity of the process, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of processing.
可选的,所述双频馈源还包括柱状结构,所述外波导、所述内波导和所述多个比幅波导分别贯穿所述柱状结构的两端,并且,所述外波导的第一端、所述内波导的第一端和所述每个比幅波导的第一端朝向所述柱状结构的第一端。通过在柱状结构的两端贯穿加工业务波导和多个比幅波导,有利于降低工艺难度,并且保证各波导之间比较稳定的相对位置关系。Optionally, the dual-frequency feed further includes a columnar structure, the outer waveguide, the inner waveguide, and the plurality of ratio-amplitude waveguides respectively pass through both ends of the columnar structure, and the first of the outer waveguide One end, the first end of the inner waveguide and the first end of each proportional amplitude waveguide are facing the first end of the columnar structure.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
本申请实施例提供一种馈源和包括该馈源的设备。首先结合附图介绍本申请实施例适用的系统。Embodiments of the present application provide a feed source and a device including the feed source. Firstly, the system applicable to the embodiment of the present application is introduced with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the wireless communication system may include an antenna device and a peer antenna device, and the antenna device and the peer antenna device are respectively arranged on poles. The peer antenna device can transmit a beam carrying information (denoted as beam 0) under the control of a connected backend system (not shown in FIG. 1 ). In this embodiment of the present application, the information carried by the beam is called service information.

The dual-frequency antenna combines the high capacity of the high frequency band with the long distance of the low frequency band by transmitting high frequency signals and low frequency signals on the same link, and provides high capacity while enhancing the quality of service (QoS) business protection mechanism. Optionally, the antenna device shown in Figure 1 can be a dual-band microwave antenna, which receives high-frequency signals in the beam, such as E-band signals with wide channel bandwidth, which have large space loss, large rain attenuation, and narrow beams. characteristics, resulting in poor anti-shaking performance, limited transmission distance and stability, thus limiting the performance of the dual-band antenna.

该无线通信设备可以用于接收波束(例如上行波束),该波束例如为图1所示的波束0。主反射面和副反射面可以用于将接收的波束反射至双频馈源,双频馈源用于接收波束中第一频段和第二频段的信号,其中,第一频段高于第二频段。之后双频馈源一方面向信号处理电路输入信号,以使得信号处理电路解调得到第一频段的信号和第二频段的信号分别携带的业务信息,另一方面向自跟踪模块输入信号,以使得自跟踪模块控制天线设备的最大增益角度对准上行波束方向。为了便于描述,本申请实施例将双频馈源向信号处理电路输入的信号称作业务用信号,将双频馈源向自跟踪模块输入的信号称作跟踪用信号。The wireless communication device may be used to receive a beam (for example, an uplink beam), and the beam is, for example, beam 0 shown in FIG. 1 . The main reflector and the sub-reflector can be used to reflect the received beam to a dual-frequency feed, and the dual-frequency feed is used to receive signals in the first frequency band and the second frequency band in the beam, wherein the first frequency band is higher than the second frequency band . After that, the dual-frequency feed source inputs signals to the signal processing circuit on the one hand, so that the signal processing circuit demodulates to obtain the service information carried by the signals of the first frequency band and the signal of the second frequency band, and on the other hand, inputs signals to the self-tracking module to obtain Make the self-tracking module control the maximum gain angle of the antenna device to align with the uplink beam direction. For ease of description, in this embodiment of the present application, the signal input from the dual-frequency feed to the signal processing circuit is called a service signal, and the signal input from the dual-frequency feed to the self-tracking module is called a tracking signal.

下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例双频馈源的可能结构。A possible structure of a dual-frequency feed source according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
参考图3-1,本申请实施例提供的双频馈源可以包括业务波导1和多个比幅波导2。其中,业务波导1包括内波导11和外波导12,内波导11嵌套在外波导12内部,并且,内波导11与外波导12同轴。多个比幅波导2包括第一比幅波导21和第二比幅波导22,第一比幅波导21和第二比幅波导22关于外波导12的轴线20对称设置。Referring to FIG. 3-1 , the dual-frequency feed provided by the embodiment of the present application may include a service waveguide 1 and multiple amplitude ratio waveguides 2 . Wherein, the service waveguide 1 includes an inner waveguide 11 and an outer waveguide 12 , the inner waveguide 11 is nested inside the outer waveguide 12 , and the inner waveguide 11 and the outer waveguide 12 are coaxial. The plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides 2 includes a first proportional amplitude waveguide 21 and a second proportional amplitude waveguide 22 , and the first proportional amplitude waveguide 21 and the second proportional amplitude waveguide 22 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis 20 of the outer waveguide 12 .
内波导11可以包括两个端口(或简称端),为了便于描述,本申请实施例将内波导11在图3-1中可见的端口称作内波导11的第一端,将在图3-1中不可见的端口称作内波导11的第二端。外波导12可以包括两个端口,与内波导11类似的,为了便于描述,本申请实施例将外波导12在图3-1中可见的端口称作外波导12的第一端,将在图3-1中不可见的端口称作外波导12的第二端。第一比幅波导21和第二比幅波导22中的每个波导可以包括两个端口, 为了便于描述,本申请实施例将第一比幅波导21和第二比幅波导22中的每个波导在图3-1中可见的端口称作相应波导的第一端,将在图3-1中不可见的端口称作相应波导的第二端。The inner waveguide 11 may include two ports (or ends for short). For the convenience of description, the embodiment of the present application refers to the port of the inner waveguide 11 visible in FIG. 3-1 as the first end of the inner waveguide 11, which will be described in FIG. The port not visible in 1 is called the second end of the inner waveguide 11. The outer waveguide 12 may include two ports, which are similar to the inner waveguide 11. For the convenience of description, the embodiment of the present application refers to the port of the outer waveguide 12 visible in FIG. 3-1 as the first end of the outer waveguide 12, which will be described in The port not visible in 3-1 is called the second end of the outer waveguide 12 . Each of the first proportional waveguide 21 and the second proportional waveguide 22 may include two ports. For the convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, each of the first proportional waveguide 21 and the second proportional waveguide 22 The port of the waveguide visible in Fig. 3-1 is referred to as the first end of the respective waveguide, and the port not visible in Fig. 3-1 is referred to as the second end of the respective waveguide.
可选的,内波导11的第一端、外波导12的第一端、第一比幅波导21的第一端和第二比幅波导22的第一端分别用于接收波束中的第一信号、第二信号、第一子信号和第二子信号,第一比幅波导21的第二端和第二比幅波导22的第二端分别用于连接自跟踪模块,自跟踪模块用于根据第一子信号和第二子信号调整天线设备的最大增益方向,以增大第一信号和/或第二信号的增益。Optionally, the first end of the inner waveguide 11, the first end of the outer waveguide 12, the first end of the first proportional waveguide 21 and the first end of the second proportional waveguide 22 are respectively used to receive the first signal, the second signal, the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal, the second end of the first ratio-amplitude waveguide 21 and the second end of the second ratio-amplitude waveguide 22 are respectively used for connecting the self-tracking module, and the self-tracking module is used for Adjust the maximum gain direction of the antenna device according to the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal, so as to increase the gain of the first signal and/or the second signal.
可选的,内波导11的第二端和外波导12的第二端可以用于连接图2所示的信号处理电路。例如,内波导11的第二端用于连接图2所示的第一信号处理模块,外波导12的第二端用于连接图2所示的第二信号处理模块。由于外波导22的口径大于内波导21的口径,因此,第二信号对应的频段(称作第二频段)低于第一信号对应的频段(第一频段)。可选的,第一频段可以为E band微波频段,第二频段可以为常规频段(例如6~42GHz)。Optionally, the second end of the inner waveguide 11 and the second end of the outer waveguide 12 may be used to connect to the signal processing circuit shown in FIG. 2 . For example, the second end of the inner waveguide 11 is used to connect to the first signal processing module shown in FIG. 2 , and the second end of the outer waveguide 12 is used to connect to the second signal processing module shown in FIG. 2 . Since the diameter of the outer waveguide 22 is larger than the diameter of the inner waveguide 21, the frequency band corresponding to the second signal (referred to as the second frequency band) is lower than the frequency band corresponding to the first signal (first frequency band). Optionally, the first frequency band may be an E-band microwave frequency band, and the second frequency band may be a conventional frequency band (for example, 6-42 GHz).
由于外波导和内波导同轴,因此第一信号对应的最大增益方向和第二信号对应的最大增益方向一致,并且由于波束方向图中主波束通常关于波束方向(最大增益对应的最大增益方向)对称,第一比幅波导和第二比幅波导关于外波导的轴线对称设置,当天线设备对准最大增益方向时,第一比幅波导和第二比幅波导接收到的信号的增益相同。以双反射面天线为例,当波束偏向第一比幅波导时,第一子信号的增益小于第二子信号的增益,当波束偏向第二比幅波导时,第二子信号的增益小于第一子信号的增益,因此第一子信号和第二子信号可用于确定天线设备当前的最大增益方向与第一信号和第二信号对应的最大增益方向之间的差异。这样,自跟踪模块可以对第一比幅波导21输入的信号和第二比幅波导22输入的信号进行幅度或功率的比较,便可以调整天线设备的最大增益方向以增大第一信号和第二信号的增益,有利于提高天线设备的接收性能,提高天线设备的抗晃动性。当波束携带通信信息时,保证上行链路的性能。Since the outer waveguide and the inner waveguide are coaxial, the direction of maximum gain corresponding to the first signal is consistent with the direction of maximum gain corresponding to the second signal, and since the main beam in the beam pattern diagram is usually about the beam direction (the direction of maximum gain corresponding to the maximum gain) Symmetrical, the first proportional amplitude waveguide and the second proportional amplitude waveguide are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the outer waveguide, and when the antenna device is aligned with the maximum gain direction, the gains of the signals received by the first proportional amplitude waveguide and the second proportional amplitude waveguide are the same. Taking the dual-reflector antenna as an example, when the beam is deflected to the first proportional waveguide, the gain of the first sub-signal is smaller than the gain of the second sub-signal; when the beam is deflected to the second proportional waveguide, the gain of the second sub-signal is smaller than that of the second The gain of a sub-signal, therefore, the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal can be used to determine the difference between the current maximum gain direction of the antenna device and the corresponding maximum gain directions of the first signal and the second signal. In this way, the self-tracking module can compare the amplitude or power of the signal input by the first ratio waveguide 21 and the signal input by the second ratio waveguide 22, and then adjust the maximum gain direction of the antenna device to increase the first signal and the second ratio waveguide. The gain of the second signal is conducive to improving the receiving performance of the antenna device and improving the anti-shaking performance of the antenna device. Uplink performance is guaranteed when beams carry communication information.
并且,使用业务波导1接收波束中的信号以提供业务用信号,使用业务波导1以外的多个比幅波导2接收波束中的信号以提供跟踪用信号,因此无需在内波导11的第二端或外波导12的第二端连接用于从相应接收信号中提取和模信号和差模信号的馈电网络,有利于降低工艺复杂度,从而降低加工难度和成本。And, use the service waveguide 1 to receive the signal in the beam to provide the service signal, and use a plurality of ratio-amplitude waveguides 2 other than the service waveguide 1 to receive the signal in the beam to provide the tracking signal, so there is no need for the second end of the inner waveguide 11 Or the second end of the outer waveguide 12 is connected to the feeding network for extracting the sum mode signal and the differential mode signal from the corresponding received signal, which is beneficial to reduce process complexity, thereby reducing processing difficulty and cost.
可选的,本申请双频馈源中的多个比幅波导2可以包括第一比幅馈管21和第二比幅馈管以外的更多比幅馈管。和第一比幅馈管21类似的,该更多比幅馈管中的每个比幅馈管可以包括两个端口,本申请实施例将更多比幅馈管中用于接收波束中信号的端口称作相应波导的第一端,将用于连接自跟踪模块的端口称作相应波导的第二端。本申请实施例将第一比幅馈管21的第二端、第二比幅馈管22的第二端和该更多比幅馈管中每个比幅馈管的第二端向自跟踪模块输入的信号称作第三信号,自跟踪模块可以根据第三信号调整天线设备的最大增益方向,以增大第一信号和/或第二信号的增益。在这种情况下,第三信号包括第一子信号和第二子信号。Optionally, the multiple proportional amplitude waveguides 2 in the dual frequency feed of the present application may include more proportional amplitude feed tubes other than the first proportional amplitude feed tube 21 and the second proportional amplitude feed tube. Similar to the first proportional feed tube 21, each of the more proportional feed tubes may include two ports, and in the embodiment of the present application, more proportional feed tubes are used to receive signals in the beam The port of is called the first end of the corresponding waveguide, and the port for connecting the self-tracking module is called the second end of the corresponding waveguide.

为了使得多个比幅波导2接收到波束中的主瓣信号,并且提高第一信号和/或第二信号的增益,在加工双频馈源的过程中,一方面可以尽量缩小对侧设置的比幅波导之间的距离,另一方面需要尽量提高业务波导1接收的信号所对应的波束尺寸。其中,对侧设置的比幅波导可以例如为图3-2所示第一比幅馈管21和第二比幅馈管22,和/或,例如为图3-2所示的第三比幅馈管23和第四比幅馈管24。In order to allow multiple ratio-amplitude waveguides 2 to receive the main lobe signal in the beam, and to increase the gain of the first signal and/or the second signal, in the process of processing the dual-frequency feed, on the one hand, it can be minimized on the other hand.

In order to improve the beam size corresponding to the signal received by the service waveguide 1, optionally, referring to FIG. 4, the first end of the columnar structure 3 may be provided with a surrounding structure 4-1 symmetrical to the axis 20 of the outer waveguide. The surrounding structure 4-1 Surround the first end of the outer waveguide 12, the first end of the inner waveguide 11, and the first end of each of the plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides 2 within the surrounding edge.
该围边结构4-1用于增加外波导收发信号的等效波束尺寸,提高低频馈源增益,改善低频天线整体性能。这样,即使缩小外波导的口径,减小多个比幅波导2中对侧设置的比幅波导间的距离,仍有利于多个比幅波导2接收波束中的主瓣信号,保证跟踪逻辑正确,提高自跟踪精度。The enclosure structure 4-1 is used to increase the equivalent beam size of the outer waveguide for transmitting and receiving signals, increase the gain of the low-frequency feed source, and improve the overall performance of the low-frequency antenna. In this way, even if the aperture of the outer waveguide is reduced and the distance between the ratio waveguides arranged on opposite sides among the plurality of ratio ratio waveguides 2 is reduced, it is still beneficial for the plurality of ratio ratio waveguides 2 to receive the main lobe signal in the beam, ensuring that the tracking logic is correct , to improve the self-tracking accuracy.
图4所示的围边结构4-1以空心柱形为例,可选的,围边结构可以为其他形状,例如可以为喇叭形。图4所示的围边结构4-1在沿垂直于轴线20的平面上的截面为圆形,可选的,围边结构4-1在该平面上的截面也可以为其他形状,例如方形。The surrounding structure 4-1 shown in FIG. 4 takes a hollow cylindrical shape as an example.

若多个比幅波导2设置在外波导12的外部,为了缩小对侧设置的比幅波导之间的距离,将多个比幅波导2接收的波束的最大指向调整到更靠业务波导1的中心,需要尽量减小多个比幅波导2中每个比幅波导与外波导12的外壁之间的距离。但是,由于业务波导1和多个比幅波导2的长度通常较长,在柱状结构3中贯穿设置业务波导1和多个比幅波导2的过程中,将多个比幅波导2贴近外波导12的外壁将增大加工难度。可选的,多个比幅波导2中任一比幅波导的第一端与轴线20的距离小于多个比幅波导中相应比幅波导的第二端与该轴线的距离,有利于减小多个比幅波导2中每个比幅波导与外波导的外壁之间的距离。以第一比幅波导21为例,第一比幅波导21的第二端与轴线20的距离小于第一比幅波导21的第一端与轴线20的距离,这样,仅需在第一比幅波导21的第一端减小其与轴线20距离即可,有利于降低工艺难度。If a plurality of ratio-amplitude waveguides 2 are arranged outside the outer waveguide 12, in order to reduce the distance between the ratio-amplitude waveguides arranged on the opposite side, the maximum direction of the beams received by the plurality of ratio-amplitude waveguides 2 is adjusted to be closer to the center of the service waveguide 1 , it is necessary to minimize the distance between each of the multiple proportional amplitude waveguides 2 and the outer wall of the outer waveguide 12 . However, since the length of the service waveguide 1 and the plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides 2 is usually longer, in the process of setting the service waveguide 1 and the plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides 2 throughout the columnar structure 3, the plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides 2 are placed close to the outer waveguide The outer wall of 12 will increase processing difficulty. Optionally, the distance between the first end of any one of the multiple proportional waveguides 2 and the axis 20 is smaller than the distance between the second end of the corresponding proportional waveguide among the multiple proportional waveguides and the axis, which is beneficial to reduce The distance between each proportional amplitude waveguide in the plurality of proportional amplitude waveguides 2 and the outer wall of the outer waveguide. Taking the first ratio waveguide 21 as an example, the distance between the second end of the first ratio waveguide 21 and the axis 20 is smaller than the distance between the first end of the first ratio waveguide 21 and the axis 20, so that only the first ratio It is only necessary to reduce the distance between the first end of the waveguide 21 and the axis 20 , which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of the process.
