[0002] The basic working principle of the circulator is to use the magnetic anisotropy of ferrite materials, combined with the effect of an external magnetic field, so that electromagnetic waves can only be transmitted in a certain direction within a closed path. When a signal enters one port of the circulator, it will be directed to the next port and cannot be transmitted in the opposite direction. For example, in a three-port circulator, if the signal enters from port 1, it will be output from port 2; if the signal tries to enter from port 3, it will be directed to port 1, and so on.

[0014] Among them, the multi-rotation magnetic combination fully shielded circulator also includes a magnetic enclosure and an H-type magnetic enclosure plate. The magnetic enclosure surrounds the upper cavity and the lower cavity, and the H-type magnetic enclosure plate is used to close the opening of the magnetic enclosure.

[0015] The multi-rotational magnetic combination fully shielded circulator further comprises a positioning block, wherein the positioning block is arranged on the top of the inner conductor, and the port impedance of the inner conductor is adjusted by adjusting the capacitance rod to squeeze the positioning block.

[0029] In this embodiment, a multi-rotational magnetic combination fully shielded circulator is intended to provide an efficient and well-shielded working environment to ensure signal purity and system stability.

[0030] The upper cavity 101 has a size of 20x21x2.65mm and is made of 6061 aluminum with natural oxidation treatment. The upper cavity 101 is a part of the device shell, made of aluminum, used to accommodate internal components and provide a closed space to control the electromagnetic field. The upper uniform magnetic sheet 102 is placed in the upper cavity 101, and adjusts the uniformity of the internal magnetic field through its magnetic field distribution, thereby affecting the working characteristics of the circulator. The upper permanent magnet 103 is also a permanent magnet placed in the upper cavity 101, which is used to generate a constant magnetic field to guide the signal passing through the circulator.

[0031] The lower chamber 104 has a size of 20x21x5.35mm and is made of 6061 aluminum with natural color oxidation treatment; the lower chamber 104 corresponds to the upper chamber 101 and constitutes the lower half of the device. The lower permanent magnet 105 corresponds to the upper permanent magnet 103 and is placed in the lower chamber 104 to work together to establish the required magnetic field environment. The lower uniform magnetic sheet 106 is located in the lower chamber 104 and works together with the upper uniform magnetic sheet 102 to ensure the uniform distribution of the magnetic field inside the entire device.

[0032] The upper rotating magnet 107 is installed on one side of the upper cavity 101 and can be rotated to change the direction or strength of the magnetic field. The lower rotating magnet 108 is installed on one side of the lower cavity 104 and corresponds to the upper rotating magnet 107 and can be rotated synchronously to optimize the working performance of the circulator.

[0033] The inner conductor 109 is located between the upper cavity 101 and the lower cavity 104, and serves as a channel for signal transmission. A plurality of capacitance rods 110 are distributed around the inner conductor 109 to adjust the capacitance value in the circuit, thereby affecting the frequency response of the signal. A plurality of absorbing columns 111 are also distributed around the inner conductor 109 to absorb excess electromagnetic waves, reduce reflection and interference, and improve the isolation of the system. The absorbing columns 111 absorb the circulator clutter and eliminate high-order modes by adding absorbing columns 111, so as to make the electrical performance curve of the circulator smooth.

[0034] This design enables the circulator to maintain high performance in a variety of complex electromagnetic environments, while preventing external interference and ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment through a fully shielded structure.

[0035] The capacitor rod 110 includes an upper rod 112 and a lower rod 113 . The lower rod 113 is fixedly connected to the upper rod 112 , and the lower rod 113 is an insulator.

[0036] The upper rod 112 of the capacitor rod 110 is made of 416 stainless steel, and the lower rod 113 is designed with a large cylindrical insulator. The large cylinder has a diameter of 2.5mmX0.5mm and contacts the PTFE positioning block 118 through crimping to increase the contact area and eliminate the risk of squeezing the positioning block 118 and causing a short circuit.

[0037] The inner conductor 109 is a quasi-double-Y structure, and has six matching branches, an open line, a port and an interface.

[0038] The inner conductor 109 is designed as a quasi-double Y structure with six matching branches, which help to improve the transmission characteristics of the signal. In addition, open lines, ports and interfaces are provided for connecting other components or systems. The use of 6 sections of 1 / 4 wavelength and a multi-magnetic Ms co-organized gyromagnet design effectively reduces the size of the product and enables the circulator to have a wider bandwidth (the relative bandwidth of the circulator of the present invention reaches 48.7%) and higher electrical performance (insertion loss; 1.1dB, return loss: 20dB, isolation plating: 20dB);

[0039] A08 is a small Y open line, A09 is the interface of the circulator of the present invention, wherein the large Y adopts the Chebyshev impedanceconverter principle: under the design frequency band of the present invention, it is calculated that n≈6, A01 is the first matching branch, A02 is the second matching branch, A03 is the third matching branch, A04 is the fourth matching branch, A05 is the fifth matching branch, and A06 is the sixth matching branch.

[0040] The lengths and widths of the six matching branches A01 to A06 are finally calculated using microwave design software.

[0041] The inner conductor 109 is made of copper, and the surface treatment is EP.Cu (2-3 μm) Ag (5-7 μm).

[0042] The inner conductor 109 is surface treated with EP.Cu2~3μmAg5~7μm and is made of H62-1 / 2H copper.

[0043] The upper magnetic shim sheet 102 and the lower magnetic shim sheet 106 are surface treated with EP.Cu (2-3 μm) Ag (5-7 μm) to form a uniform magnetic field, thereby improving the electrical performance of the circulator of the present invention.

[0044] The upper permanent magnet 103 and the lower permanent magnet 105 are surface-treated to EP.Ni (5-7 μm).

[0045] The inner conductor 109 uses copper as a base material, and is plated on its surface, specifically: firstly a layer of copper (Cu) with a thickness of about 2 to 3 microns is plated, and then a layer of silver (Ag) with a thickness of about 5 to 7 microns is plated. This treatment method improves the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of the conductor.

[0046] The upper chamber 101 is also subjected to similar surface treatment, ie, copper plating and silver plating. The lower chamber 104 is nickel-plated (Ni) with a thickness of about 5 to 7 microns to enhance its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

[0047] The gyromagnet includes an inner ring magnet 114 and an outer ring magnet 115 , and the magnetic moment of the inner ring magnet 114 is greater than the magnetic moment of the outer ring magnet 115 .

[0048] The gyromagnet is composed of an inner ring magnet 114 and an outer ring magnet 115, wherein the magnetic moment (a measure of magnetic strength) of the inner ring magnet 114 is greater than that of the outer ring magnet 115, and a high-low magnetic moment design is adopted, with the inner ring having a high MS: 1100GS and the outer ring having a low MS: 600GS, which helps to form a non-uniform magnetic field and further optimize the function of the circulator.

[0049] The multi-rotation magnetic combination fully shielded circulator further includes a magnetic enclosure 116 and an H-shaped magnetic enclosure plate 117 . The magnetic enclosure 116 surrounds the upper cavity 101 and the lower cavity 104 . The H-shaped magnetic enclosure plate 117 is used to seal the opening of the magnetic enclosure 116 .

[0050] In order to further enhance the shielding effect, the circulator is also equipped with a magnetic enclosure 116, which surrounds the upper cavity 101 and the lower cavity 104, and the H-shaped magnetic enclosure plate 117 is used to seal the opening of the magnetic enclosure 116. The magnetic enclosure 116 and the H-shaped magnetic enclosure plate 117 are also treated with copper and silver plating to enhance their conductivity and protection. The two are used together to completely close the magnetic circuit and avoid the interference of magnetic leakage on the electromagnetic signal of the terminal system.

[0051] The multi-rotation magnetic combination fully shielded circulator also includes a positioning block 118, which is arranged on the top of the inner conductor 109. The port impedance of the inner conductor 109 is adjusted by adjusting the capacitor rod 110 to squeeze the positioning block 118. A positioning block 118 is arranged on the top of the inner conductor 109. By adjusting the pressure of the capacitor rod 110 on the positioning block 118, the impedance of the port of the inner conductor 109 can be changed, thereby achieving fine-tuning of the signal transmission characteristics. The positioning block 118 and the capacitor rod 110 adjust the impedance of port A07 by rotating the capacitor rod 110 to squeeze the positioning block 118, reduce the size of port A07, and thus reduce the size of the product.

[0052] The surface treatment of the magnetic sealing shell 116 and the H-type magnetic sealing plate 117 adopts EP.Cu (2-3 μm) Ag (5-7 μm).

[0053] What is disclosed above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment and equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope of the invention.
