The invention discloses a multi-cavity coaxial electrically tunable filter, which comprises a transmission mechanism, a filter and a linear motor, wherein the linear motor is controlled by a drive circuit and comprises a drive screw rod and a drive nut; one end of the drive screw rod extends outside from the inside of the linear motor and the other end is fixed on a guide plate by the drive nut; the filter comprises a first resonant cavity to an Nth resonant cavity; the resonant cavities are the same in structure; N is greater than or equal to 2; an inner conductor and a tuning post are arranged in a box body of the first resonant cavity; one end of the tuning post is movably connected with the guide plate and the other end extends into the inner conductor of the first resonant cavity; the extension length is adjustable; the inner conductor is provided with an elastic connection device, an O-shaped ring and a sleeve, which are sequentially nested from the inside to the outside; the elastic connection device is a row of round bumps at the inner side of a comb at a port of a round metal cylinder; and the tuning post is electrically connected with the round bumps. According to the multi-cavity coaxial electrically tunable filter, the stability of the filter is improved; the stopband characteristics of a radio-frequency filter are optimized; the stopband rejection of a cavity filter is improved; and the anti-jamming capability of communication equipment is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electric tuning filter, in particular to a multi-cavity coaxial electric tuning filter, which belongs to the technical field of microwave filters. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent number CN201220549062.4 discloses "a UHF band miniaturized electronically adjustable duplexer", and the Chinese utility model patent with the patent number CN201420768754.7 discloses "a wide-tuned synchronous Shaft ESC filter", the stepper motors used are reactive or hybrid stepper motors, and the motor and transmission mechanism are connected by gear transmission or coupling, which is not only difficult to process and assemble, but also relatively large in size. Transmission accuracy is also reduced due to gear clearance or coupling assembly accuracy. In the case of high operating frequency requirements, the frequency positioning accuracy cannot meet the requirements. [0003] In th...

Problems solved by technology

In order to obtain the filtering performance of the multi-cavity band-pass filter, two four-cavity electronically tuned band-pass filters are usually cascaded, but this method of sacrificing volume for anti-interference ability has low superposition efficiency of stop band characteristics and large difference loss , under the requirements of miniaturized equipment, it can no longer meet the requirements

[0004] In addition, the transmission mechanism in the prior art uses a direct connection between the guide plate and the guide rod, and when the load is heavy, the guiding effect is not good

Especially in the case of simultaneous linkage of multiple resonant cavities, the overall assembly error of the transmission mechanism makes the transmission of the filter not smooth, and the load capacity requirements of the motor are increased.

The top of the original inner conductor of the coaxial cavity electric tuning filter is a comb-shaped shrapnel, the forming process of metal materials has a long production cycle and low yield
