[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application. In the present application, unless otherwise stated, the directional words used, such as "up", "down", "left", and "right", generally refer to the up, down, left, and right of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The present application provides a broadband, highly integrated, integrated Ku-band microwave transceiver assembly, which is described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a particular embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0036] See also Figure 1-Figure 4The present application provides a broadband, highly integrated, integrated Ku-band microwave transceiver assembly including a housing and a frequency source module, a transmitter module, and a receiver module arranged inside the housing. The Ku-band refers to a band with a lower frequency than the K-band under the IEEE521-2002 standard, and its frequency band is usually from 10.7 to 12.75 GHz for downlink and from 12.75 to 18.1 GHz for uplink. The housing is composed of a laser cover 1, a screw-mounted cover 2, a metal housing 3, and a lower cover 4. The RF input and output are connected through a high-frequency coaxial connector, and the low-frequency input and output are connected through a J30J connector. The screw-mounted cover 2 is separated from the interior of the housing to form a connected upper cavity and a lower cavity, isolating circuits of different modules, reducing crosstalk between circuits, and improving the stability and reliability of the assembly. At the same time, the addition of a laser cover 1 can achieve the airtightness requirements of the upper cavity and ensure the stable operation of the internal MMIC chip.

[0037] The frequency source module includes a transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104, a transmitting local oscillator circuit and a transmitting second local oscillator circuit 101; at the same time, the upper cavity is divided into three modules by an isolation metal layer, namely, the transmitting local oscillator circuit and the transmitting second local oscillator circuit 101 of the frequency source module, the transmitter module 102 and the receiver module 103. Except for the gaps left for the interconnection between each module, the other parts are completely isolated, so that multiple modules can be installed in one cavity, reducing the size of the components and the complexity of the structural interconnection, while ensuring the isolation between the modules. Insulation gold is also used inside the transmitter module 102 and the receiver module 103 to separate the links to avoid interference between components in the link and generate stray.

[0038] The lower cavity is a whole and is used to install the transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104 of the frequency source module, so that the transmitting intermediate frequency signal is transferred to the input end of the transmitter module 102 of the upper cavity through the radio frequency insulator.

[0039] See also Figure 5 The frequency source module is provided with a reference clock by a SFN5D-LS4NB-100M constant temperature crystal oscillator, which can provide an excellent phase noise performance of -155dBc / Hz@1KHz to ensure the phase noise requirements of the components.

[0040] At the same time, the first power divider and the second power divider divide the crystal oscillator clock power into three paths, providing reference clocks for transmitting intermediate frequency signals, transmitting one local oscillator and transmitting two local oscillators respectively, and then adding an attenuator and an amplifier to each path, so as to utilize the reverse isolation of the amplifier and the attenuation of the attenuator to improve the isolation between the three circuits.

[0041] The input end of the first power divider is electrically connected to the output end of the oven controlled crystal oscillator, and the output end of the first power divider is electrically connected to the transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104. The input end of the second power divider is electrically connected to the first power divider, and the output end of the second power divider is electrically connected to the transmitting local oscillator circuit and the transmitting second local oscillator circuit 101.

[0042] according to Figure 5 As shown, the transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104 of the frequency source module adopts a "PLL+DDS" structure. Combining the advantages of low spurious and high output frequency of PLL and low phase noise and fast frequency conversion speed of DDS, the transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104 is designed to achieve a transmitting intermediate frequency signal with high phase noise and spurious performance, providing a basis for the subsequent transmitter module 102 and the receiver module 103.

[0043] In this embodiment, the DDS uses the AD9910 chip of ADI Company, which supports a maximum sampling rate of 1GSPS, a maximum output frequency of 400MHz, and a frequency resolution of 0.23Hz. Therefore, the waveform of the transmitting intermediate frequency is programmable, which improves the flexibility of the component.

[0044] See also Figure 5 The transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104 includes a first attenuator, a first amplifier, a first phase-locked loop, a second amplifier, a clock driver, a DDS chip, and a balun which are electrically connected in sequence; and the input end of the first attenuator is electrically connected to the output end of the first power divider.

[0045] The transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104 has a high output frequency and a long wiring length. A clock driving chip is used to convert a single-ended signal into a differential signal, which is then converted back into a single-ended signal output through a balun, thereby improving the circuit's anti-interference ability and ensuring the accuracy of the output signal.

[0046] according to Figure 5 As shown, the transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104 also includes a second attenuator, a third attenuator, a first filter and a second filter. The second attenuator is electrically connected between the first phase-locked loop and the second amplifier; the third attenuator is electrically connected to the output end of the second amplifier; the first filter is electrically connected between the third attenuator and the clock driver; and the second filter is electrically connected to the output end of the balun.

[0047] An attenuator and an amplifier are added to the transmitting intermediate frequency circuit 104, so as to improve the isolation between different circuits by utilizing the reverse isolation of the amplifier and the attenuation of the attenuator.

[0048] according to Figure 5 As shown, the transmitting local oscillator circuit includes a fourth attenuator, a third amplifier, a second phase-locked loop, a fifth attenuator, a fourth amplifier, a third filter, and a sixth attenuator which are electrically connected in sequence; the input end of the fourth attenuator is connected to the output end of the second power divider. The fifth attenuator is electrically connected between the second phase-locked loop and the fourth amplifier; the input end of the third filter is electrically connected to the output end of the fourth amplifier; and the input end of the sixth attenuator is electrically connected to the output end of the third filter.

[0049] according to Figure 5As shown, the transmitting circuit includes a seventh attenuator, a fifth amplifier, an eighth attenuator, a third phase-locked loop, and a fourth filter which are electrically connected in sequence; the input end of the seventh attenuator is connected to the output end of the second power divider.

[0050] The transmitting local oscillator circuit and the transmitting second local oscillator circuit of the frequency source module both adopt the PLL solution, and filters are added at the final stage to reduce the far-end spurious caused by the PLL, making the circuit structure simple, small in size and low in cost.

[0051] Since the local oscillator frequency is very high, using ordinary PCB board material will cause greater losses, and the RF routing only occupies one layer, so a four-layer board design is adopted, with the top layer for RF signals, the second layer for ground, the third layer for power and low-frequency signals, and the fourth layer for ground. The ground is used to isolate high-frequency signals from low-frequency signals to avoid interference. The first layer of board is made of ROGERS4350, whose dielectric constant is 3.48, and the remaining boards are made of inexpensive FR4, which can avoid excessive transmission losses and reduce costs at the same time.

[0052] See also Figure 6 The transmitter module 102 adopts a double-mixing structure to up-convert the transmission intermediate frequency and the first and second transmission local oscillators to obtain a Ku-band transmission signal. Specifically, the transmitter module includes a first mixing circuit, a second mixing circuit, and a coupling circuit that are electrically connected in sequence.

[0053] The first frequency mixing circuit includes a sixth amplifier, a ninth attenuator, a fifth filter, a tenth attenuator and a first frequency mixer which are electrically connected in sequence; the input end of the sixth amplifier is electrically connected to the output end of the second filter in the transmitting intermediate frequency circuit; the first input end and the second input end of the first frequency mixer are electrically connected to the tenth attenuator and the output end of the sixth attenuator in the transmitting local oscillator circuit, respectively, and the output end of the first frequency mixer is electrically connected to the second frequency mixing circuit.

[0054] The second mixing circuit includes an eleventh attenuator, a sixth filter, a twelfth attenuator, a seventh amplifier, a first temperature compensation attenuator, a seventh filter, a thirteenth attenuator, and a second mixer which are electrically connected in sequence; the input end of the eleventh attenuator is electrically connected to the output end of the first mixer, the first input end and the second input end of the second mixer are electrically connected to the thirteenth attenuator and the output end of the fourth filter in the second transmitting local oscillator circuit, respectively, and the output end of the second mixer is electrically connected to the coupling circuit.

[0055] The coupling circuit includes a fourteenth attenuator, an eighth filter, an eighth amplifier, a fifteenth attenuator, a ninth filter, a ninth amplifier, a sixteenth attenuator, a third power divider, a seventeenth attenuator, a first switch, a first equalizer, a second switch, a seventeenth attenuator, a tenth amplifier, an eighteenth attenuator, a power amplifier, a coupler, and an isolator, which are electrically connected in sequence; the input end of the fourteenth attenuator is electrically connected to the output end of the second mixer; and the second output end of the coupler is electrically connected to the detector and the comparator in sequence.

[0056] The two-stage filters at the output ends of the two mixers of the transmitter module 102 are used to filter out a large amount of mixing spurious and local oscillator leakage caused by up-conversion, thereby improving the spurious suppression performance of the transmitter.

[0057] The temperature compensation attenuator in the middle section of the transmitter link is used to adjust the fluctuation of link gain caused by temperature changes. Its model is STCA0607N9. When the ambient temperature rises from -40℃ to +70℃, its insertion loss is reduced by 7.8dB, thereby compensating for the gain decrease of the amplifier in the link caused by the temperature rise and improving the flatness of the output power.

[0058] The final amplifier uses the power amplifier NC116446C-1418P4, with a power gain of 20dB and a saturated output power of 37dBm. In order to push the power amplifier to a weak saturation state to improve the flatness of the output signal, a high output P -1 Amplifier ECS0513 is used to provide sufficient input power for the power amplifier. The output P-1 of ECS0513 can reach 18.5dBm.

[0059] The switch in the transmitter module 102 can control the on and off of the transmitter. A two-stage switch is used to improve the switch isolation. At the same time, a power modulation circuit is configured in the power amplifier to disconnect the power supply of the power amplifier when the switch is turned off. The last stage of the isolator can effectively isolate the near-end reflection and external interference signals. Its model is HGW6104B, with an insertion loss of only 0.4dB and a reverse isolation of 18dB.

[0060] according to Figure 6 As shown, the coupler couples a part of the energy into the coupling branch, and generates a detection BIT signal through the detector and the comparator. When the transmission power reaches the normal value, the detection BIT is a high level, otherwise, the BIT is a low level, thereby detecting whether the transmitter is working normally.

[0061] according to Figure 7 As shown, the receiver module 103 includes a first receiving circuit and a second receiving circuit which are electrically connected in sequence, the first receiving circuit is configured to receive a Ku-band receiving signal, and the second receiving circuit is configured to receive an intermediate frequency signal.

[0062] The first receiving circuit includes a limiter, a first low-noise amplifier, a digitally controlled attenuator, a tenth filter, a nineteenth attenuator, a second low-noise amplifier, an eleventh filter, a twentieth attenuator, a third mixer, a twenty-first attenuator, a twelfth filter, an eleventh amplifier, a twenty-second attenuator, a second temperature-compensated attenuator, a twelfth amplifier, a twenty-third attenuator, and a thirteenth filter, which are electrically connected in sequence.

[0063] The second receiving circuit includes a twenty-fourth attenuator, a thirteenth amplifier, and a fourteenth filter electrically connected in sequence, the input end of the twenty-fourth attenuator is electrically connected to the second output end of the third power divider, and the output end of the twenty-fourth attenuator is electrically connected to the second input end of the third mixer.

[0064] The receiver module 103 adopts a zero intermediate frequency structure, the receiving local oscillator is at the same frequency as the transmitting signal, and the intermediate frequency signal is obtained by mixing the receiving signal with the receiving local oscillator signal. As a module at the front end of the radar, the noise coefficient index of the receiver directly affects the minimum sensitivity of the system. As the first stage of the receiver, the limiter must ensure that the limiting level will not damage the receiver and reduce the impact on the noise coefficient. Therefore, the limiter uses HG126X7, with an insertion loss of 0.5dB, a maximum input power of 37dBm, and a limiting level of 16dBm. At the same time, the first stage amplifier of the receiver uses a low noise amplifier HGC320H, with a noise coefficient of 1.5dB and a gain of 22.5dB. Its low noise coefficient and high gain are conducive to reducing the overall noise coefficient.

[0065] The digital controlled attenuator IDA-0020-5B-PD can achieve 1dB stepping and 31dB maximum attenuation. By adjusting the attenuation value, the instantaneous dynamic range can be flexibly adjusted. The four-stage amplifier is used to achieve a channel gain of 52dB. At the same time, filters are added before and after the mixing to filter out various interference signals and improve the accuracy of the receiver.

[0066] The receiver module 103 and the transmitter module 102 have high frequencies, so the microstrip board is made of ROGERS5880 board with a dielectric constant of 2.2. In order to reduce the height difference between the microstrip board and the MMIC chip, the thickness of the microstrip board is set to 0.19mm, and ground copper is laid on the back of the microstrip board, so that the microstrip board is directly bonded to the cavity with conductive glue.

[0067] Most of the transmitter module 102 and the receiver module 103 use MMIC chips, among which the final power amplifier in the transmitter is soldered on the molybdenum-copper substrate with gold-tin, and the remaining chips are directly bonded to the cavity with conductive glue. The interconnection between MMIC chips and between MMIC chips and microstrip boards adopts gold wire bonding technology to improve integration and reduce component size.

[0068] The above is a detailed introduction to a broadband, highly integrated, integrated Ku-band microwave transceiver component provided by the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
