Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of adjustable power dividers, and particularly to an adjustable power divider that matches the impedance of any port. Background Art

[0002] The power divider is a key device in the radio frequency system and is widely used in fields such as wireless communication and radar. The traditional Wilkinson power divider realizes power distribution by fixing the transmission line parameters, but once the port impedance matching is designed, it cannot be adjusted. When the impedance of the subsequent circuit changes, the standing wave ratio and insertion loss of the common port of the power divider deteriorate significantly, resulting in a decline in system performance. In the prior art, to solve this problem, usually two solutions are adopted: one is to improve the matching by adding isolators and attenuators, but it will increase the volume, weight and cost of the system; the other is to use a reconfigurable power divider, which switches paths through radio frequency switches, but its impedance matching range is limited and a complex control circuit is required.

[0003] For example, a prior art proposes to achieve impedance matching of any port by adjusting the transmission line parameters, but the characteristic impedance of the transmission line cannot be dynamically modified after processing, resulting in insufficient adaptation ability; another prior art uses a multi-impedance conversion network, but it only supports discrete impedance values, cannot cover the continuous impedance range, and relies on a large number of discrete components, resulting in a complex circuit. In addition, the prior arts have not solved the dynamic matching requirements of the power divider in the case of single-ended mismatch, and it is difficult to adapt to the scenario where the load impedance changes frequently in practical applications.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new power divider structure that can dynamically adapt the impedance of any port without changing the transmission line parameters or adding additional devices, while maintaining a compact structure and low cost. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0040] Before elaborating on the solution of the present invention, it is necessary to elaborate on several existing solutions, so as to facilitate the understanding of the advantages of the solution of the present invention.

[0041] Existing technical solution one:

[0042] A power divider with arbitrary port impedance, and its schematic diagram is as Figure 1 shown. The proposed power divider is determined by two transmission lines and two series isolation resistors. According to the transmission line equation and the nodal equation, the design formula of the power divider with arbitrary port impedance is derived. According to the design equation, the power divider can meet the design requirements when the port impedances of the power splitter are different.

[0043] However, the above-mentioned power divider with arbitrary port impedance faces a key problem in practical applications: when the port impedance changes, it is necessary to recalculate and adjust the parameters of the transmission lines in the circuit to meet the design requirements. However, once the transmission lines are manufactured, their characteristic parameters are difficult to change, which results in the power divider being unable to achieve true arbitrary port impedance adaptation in actual operation.

[0044] Existing technical solution two:

[0045] An N-way reconfigurable power splitter, and its schematic diagram is as Figure 2 shown. The radio frequency switch is used to control the conduction and cut-off of a certain output port and the matching stub is used to adjust the input impedance. An impedance matching network is introduced at the input port. In order to achieve the matching performance under different transmission modes, a reconfigurable multi-impedance conversion network is introduced at the input port of the power splitter. Using the parameters of N-1 pin diodes under different bias conditions, N different load impedances can be converted into port impedances through the multi-impedance conversion network.

[0046] In the design process of the N-way reconfigurable power splitter, the reconfigurability of the power splitting path is mainly concerned, and the design requirements when the port impedance changes are not fully considered. This design idea results in the port impedance being limited to a fixed value and being unable to flexibly adapt to the working requirements under different impedance conditions. At the same time, the impedance matching circuit introduced at the input port of the N-way reconfigurable power splitter can only meet the impedance matching under different transmission path conditions. When the port impedance changes, the original circuit cannot meet the impedance matching.

[0047] Embodiment 1:

[0048] As Figure 3 shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable power divider that matches arbitrary port impedance, including:

[0049] A transmission line structure power divider for splitting an input signal into multiple outputs;

[0050] A plurality of second impedance matching networks (IMNs) are connected in parallel, and the input end of the second impedance matching network is connected to the output end of the transmission line structure power divider;

[0051] Wherein, the second impedance matching network includes an adjustable capacitor and an inductive element, and the second impedance matching network dynamically matches the impedance of different output ports by adjusting the capacitance value of the adjustable capacitor without changing the transmission line structure parameters.

[0052] Wherein, the specific structure of the impedance matching network includes a first inductive unit, a first adjustable capacitor unit, and a second inductive unit arranged in sequence along the signal transmission direction. A first fixed capacitor unit is provided at the signal input end of the first inductive unit, a second adjustable capacitor unit is provided between the first inductive unit and the first adjustable capacitor unit, a third adjustable capacitor unit is provided between the first adjustable capacitor unit and the second inductive unit, and a second fixed capacitor unit is provided at the signal output end of the second inductive unit. One end of the first fixed capacitor unit is grounded, and the other end is connected to the signal input end of the first inductive unit; one end of the second adjustable capacitor unit is grounded, and the other end is connected between the first inductive unit and the first adjustable capacitor unit; one end of the third adjustable capacitor unit is grounded, and the other end is connected between the first adjustable capacitor unit and the second inductive unit; one end of the second fixed capacitor unit is grounded, and the other end is connected to the signal output end of the second inductive unit.

[0053] The adjustable power divider for matching any port impedance proposed by the present invention is composed of a transmission line structure power divider and a matching circuit. The power divider realizes power distribution in the form of a transmission line, and the matching circuit realizes front / back stage circuit matching by adjusting the capacitance. Compared with the traditional Wilkinson power divider, the circuit structure proposed by the present invention enables the power divider to achieve matching when the port impedance changes simultaneously without changing the circuit structure while ensuring the basic functions of the power divider are realized. Compared with the reconfigurable power divider, the circuit proposed by the present invention realizes front / back stage circuit impedance matching by adjusting the capacitance value of the adjustable capacitor in the matching circuit, thereby meeting the requirement that the output port impedance does not have to be always consistent. This also broadens the adjustment range of the port impedance matching of the power divider, making it no longer limited to finite discrete values.

[0054] Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of the adjustable power divider for matching any port impedance is shown. A signal source with an internal impedance of ZS enters the transmission line structure power divider through the input end impedance matching network module (IMN). The transmission line structure power divider injects the signal into the first transmission sub-line of the call branch through input port 1. The first transmission sub-line transmits the signal to the second transmission sub-line, and the other end of the second transmission sub-line is connected to the input end of the impedance matching circuit.

[0055] The power divider of the transmission line structure achieves impedance matching when the impedance of the input / output ports changes uniformly through a quarter-wavelength transmission line. The impedance matching circuit consists of inductors, capacitors, and variable capacitors. In actual use, corresponding to the change in the impedance of the signal source / load, the series capacitor C and the parallel capacitors (C1-C) are variable capacitors. By adjusting their capacitance values, the purpose of impedance matching at different impedances at the output end is achieved, and at the same time, the impedance matching adjustment range is also broadened.

[0056] Figures 4 - 5 The principle of the transmission line power divider is shown. In the odd-mode, a voltage (electric field) node is formed at the center of symmetry of the circuit, which is equivalent to the existence of an electric wall, so the input port is virtually grounded. At this time, Todd = 0 in the circuit, where Todd is the circuit transmission coefficient for odd-mode excitation. In the even-mode, a voltage (electric field) antinode is formed at the center of symmetry of the circuit, which is equivalent to the existence of a magnetic wall, so the symmetric points of the two branches at the input port are short-circuited. At this time, the input impedances of the two λ / 4 microstrip transmission lines Z1 and Z2 are respectively expressed as If it can meet the requirement of the circuit Z even = 2Z p (Z p is the port impedance). At the same time, a resistor R is connected between the two branches of the power divider, which changes the isolation characteristics between the two ports of the power divider. By reasonably adjusting the value of the variable capacitor, a good matching effect can be achieved.

[0057] Figures 6 - 7 The principle of the impedance matching network is shown. Since there may be a situation of single-ended mismatch in the power divider, an impedance matching circuit needs to be connected after the output port 1 and output port 2 of the power divider. This impedance matching circuit is based on the characteristics of the J-transformer and the quarter-wavelength transmission line, and can be equivalently split into three Π-type networks. The overall circuit transmission matrix after series connection can be equivalent to a J-transformer. Compared with the switch-controlled reconfigurable impedance matching network in the figure, this impedance matching circuit realizes impedance matching at both ends of the matching circuit by adjusting the variable capacitor, solves the limitation that the impedance of the input / output ports must be kept consistent, and at the same time expands the impedance adjustment range.

[0058] The adjustable power divider proposed in this embodiment realizes arbitrary impedance matching at the ports:

[0059] Arbitrary port impedance matching under the condition of consistent impedance of the input / output ports of the power divider is achieved through a quarter-wavelength transmission line;

[0060] Arbitrary impedance matching at the output ports is achieved by adding impedance matching networks to the two ports of the power divider respectively;

[0061] The impedance matching network does not adopt traditional matching networks such as T-type, Π-type, and L-type. Instead, it improves the traditional quarter-wavelength transmission line into an LC network. This topological structure combines the impedance characteristics of the power divider ports and can function as port impedance matching, thus achieving true arbitrary port impedance matching. By reasonably adjusting the value of the adjustable capacitor in the LC network, the power divider can achieve a good matching effect, avoid the use of isolators, and significantly reduce the volume and weight of the microwave channel.

[0062] Therefore, the present invention can be applied to the situation where different impedances are loaded on the power divider, can optimize the port impedance of the power divider to the greatest extent, ensure the port standing wave and insertion loss, avoid the use of isolators and attenuators, is beneficial to reducing the volume and weight of the product, and saving costs.
