Abstract

The invention provides a flexible microwave directional coupler with a controllable coupling degree. The problems that an existing coupler cannot realize flexibility, and the coupling degree is not easy and inconvenient to adjust and control are mainly solved. The flexible microwave directional coupler comprises a flexible dielectric plate (6) and a conductor layer (5) etched on the dielectric plate; the conductor layer comprises a feed structure (51), a mode conversion structure (52), a connecting structure (53) and a coupling structure (54); the dielectric plate adopts a flexible dielectricmaterial as a substrate of the coupler, so that the flexible characteristic is achieved; the mode conversion structure is used for completing conversion of transmission modes, and better impedance matching is achieved; the connecting structure is constituted by a pair of curved artificial surface plasmon transmission lines, and thus dependence of transmission of electromagnetic energy on a metal floor is avoided; and the coupling structure is constituted by a pair of mutually-parallel artificial surface plasmon transmission lines and used for realizing parallel coupling. According to the flexible microwave directional coupler, the coupling degree of the coupler is increased, flexible adjusting and control of the coupling degree are achieved, and the flexible microwave directional coupler can be applied to a radio frequency microwave circuit system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of radio frequency and microwave technology, in particular to a flexible microwave directional coupler with controllable coupling degree, which can be used in radio frequency microwave circuit systems. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, flexible microwave devices are gaining more and more research due to their unique flexibility / extensibility. It is light, thin, soft, bendable, and foldable, which is superior to traditional devices, so it shows great flexibility and broad application space in terms of application. [0003] In 1992, the first flexible OLED device based on a plastic substrate was successfully prepared by Gustafsson et al., which opened an upsurge in the research of flexible electronic devices. In recent years, the flexible electronics market has expanded rapidly and has become a pillar industry in some countries. Combined with high-efficiency and low-...
