[0057] E-arm matching structure 11 and E-arm input waveguide 12 .

[0058] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the waveguide ET junction includes: an E-arm septum structure 11 and a pair of E-arm input waveguides 12 symmetrically spaced.

[0060] There is a pair of magic T branch steering waveguides 10, which are symmetrically arranged, and one end of which is connected to the E arm diaphragm structure 11, which is used to perform a 90° turn on the RF signal synthesized by the E arm diaphragm structure 11 through a step transition method, so that the RF signal entering the magic T is branched in the same direction. There is a pair of magic T branch gradient waveguides 6, which are symmetrically arranged and respectively connected to the other end of the corresponding magic T branch steering waveguide 10, so as to increase the working bandwidth. A pair of magic T branch gradient waveguides 6 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the magic T four-port matching structure 7, and are used to match the signal power distribution ratio and isolation in the T-type coupling cavity together with the magic T branch gradient waveguide 6 to perform a second power synthesis.

[0061] Specifically, the magic T four-port matching structure 7 is located in the center of the four-port network in the form of a stepped square column, the top surface of the stepped matching square column faces the direction of the E-face port, and the bottom surface of the stepped matching square column is located in the opposite direction of the E-face port. The stepped matching square column is arranged in this way to facilitate impedance matching of the signal power distribution ratio and isolation in the T-type coupling cavity. At the same time, the E-face port adopts a microstrip probe structure connected to a 50 ohm resistor to absorb the unbalanced power.

[0062] A load module is vertically arranged on the magic T four-port matching structure 7 for absorbing multi-channel unbalanced power; a magic T load port gradient waveguide 8 is arranged on one side of the load module facing the port of the E surface for matching the standing wave of the load port.

[0063] A probe structure 9 is provided on one side of the load module facing the other magic T. The probe structure 9 includes: a probe substrate; and a load resistor sintered together with the probe substrate on one side of the load module.

[0064] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the waveguide HT junction includes: an H-arm output waveguide 1, an H-arm output gradient waveguide 2, an H-arm matching structure 3, an H-arm branch gradient waveguide 4, and a T-branch turning waveguide 5.

[0065] There is a pair of T-branch steering waveguides 5, which are symmetrically arranged, and one end of each of them is connected to the magic T four-port matching structure 7 of the corresponding magic T, which is used to make a 90° turn on the RF signal synthesized by the magic T, so that the RF signal branches entering the waveguide HT junction are in the same direction; there is a pair of H-arm branch gradient waveguides 4, which are symmetrically arranged and respectively connected to the other end of the corresponding T-branch steering waveguide 5, which is used to increase the working bandwidth; a pair of H-arm branch gradient waveguides 4 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the H-arm spacer structure 3, which is used to perform a third synthesis of the RF signals transmitted by each magic T; the H-arm output waveguide 1 is vertically connected to the H-arm spacer structure 3 through the H-arm output gradient waveguide 2, which is used to output the third synthesized RF signal, and the H surface of the H-arm output waveguide 1 adopts a standard waveguide port.

[0066] Specifically, the magic-T branch steering waveguide 10 and the magic-T branch gradient waveguide 6 adopt a stepped structure, and show a stepped downward trend toward the direction of the magic-T four-port matching structure 7.

[0067] Specifically, the T-branch steering waveguide 5 and the H-arm branch gradient waveguide 4 adopt a stepped structure, and present a stepped upward trend toward the H-arm spacer structure 3 .

[0068] Specifically, the H-arm output gradient waveguide 2 adopts a stepped structure, which presents a step-up trend from the H-arm spacer structure 3 toward the H-arm output waveguide 1 .

[0069] The specific space and structural layout design is as follows:

[0070] The waveguide ET junction is vertically arranged, a pair of E-arm input waveguides 12 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, an E-arm spacer structure 11 is located between the E-arm input waveguides 12, a magic-T branch steering waveguide 10 is horizontally and vertically connected to the E-arm spacer structure 11, and the magic-T branch steering waveguide 10 is in the opposite direction to the E-plane port of the E-arm input waveguide 12; the H-arm output waveguide 1, the H-arm output gradient waveguide 2, the H-arm spacer structure 3, the H-arm branch gradient waveguide 4, the T-type branch steering waveguide 5, the magic-T branch gradient waveguide 6, and the magic-T four-port matching structure 7 are all in the same horizontal plane with the magic-T branch steering waveguide 10.

[0071] On this basis, the Figure 2-Figure 3 The cavity 13 shown is used to accommodate the synthetic network described in this example. The cavity 13 includes an upper cavity 15 and a lower cavity 16, and the synthetic network is assembled between the upper cavity 15 and the lower cavity 16. Specifically, the contact surface of the upper cavity 15 and the lower cavity 16 is designed with a 0.05mm boss to ensure the tight combination of the upper and lower cavities during assembly.

[0072] The shape of the cavity 13 matches the overall shape of the integrated waveguide HT junction, a pair of magic Ts, and two pairs of waveguide ET junctions; the cavity 13 has an output port 14 vertically arranged on one side of the length direction of the cavity 13, and four input ports 18 penetrating the top and bottom surfaces of the cavity 13 at a predetermined distance from the other side; the output port 14 matches the H-arm output waveguide 1, and the input port 18 is used for the E-arm input waveguide 12 of the waveguide ET junction to extend from the top and bottom surfaces of the cavity 13, that is, the E-arm input waveguide 12 extends from the input ports 18 of the upper cavity 15 and the lower cavity 16 respectively. Two load cavities 17 are arranged on the top surface of the cavity 13 to accommodate the load module and the probe structure 9.

[0073] In this way, the assembly of the composite network is completed. The hybrid composite network structure is suitable for the installation of the upper and lower structures of the miniaturized power amplifier module and can meet various forms of heat dissipation.

[0074] Working method description:

[0075] In order to avoid the problem of 180° phase difference at the ET junction, a symmetrical waveguide hybrid synthesis network is used. The phase differences can offset each other. The signal can be fed from the upper and lower eight E-plane non-standard waveguide ports at the same time, and then the first power synthesis is performed through the E-arm spacer structure 11. The spacer can effectively improve the power distribution between the two paths.

[0076] Furthermore, the signal after the first power synthesis is turned to the waveguide 10 through the magic T branch, and is processed into a 90° corner structure through a step transition, so that the four branches of the magic T are in the same direction, which is convenient for compact installation of the power amplifier module. At the same time, the step design makes the corner transmission characteristics reach the optimal state.

[0077] Furthermore, after the signal makes a 90° turn through the H-plane, the synthesized four-way signal enters the magic T branch gradient waveguide 6 and the magic T four-port matching structure 7. The magic T branch gradient waveguide 6 can increase its working bandwidth, and at the same time, together with the magic T four-port matching structure 7, match the signal power distribution ratio and isolation in the T-type coupling cavity. The magic T four-port matching structure 7 adopts a stepped square column with the top surface facing the direction of the E-plane port, and the bottom surface of the stepped matching square column is located in the opposite direction of the E-plane port. The magic T four-port matching structure 7 is a two-stage structure for easy processing, and the side length of the square column decreases from the bottom to the top surface. The stepped square column design effectively increases the impedance matching bandwidth of the matching square column, improves the port isolation and port standing wave characteristics. The E-plane port is also designed with a gradient waveguide, which can further improve the standing wave of the E-plane port.

[0078] The E-surface port is used to absorb unbalanced power. Traditionally, waveguide loads are used to absorb power, which is large in size and not conducive to miniaturized design. The probe structure 9 of this example uses probe coupling to connect to a 50-ohm resistor for power absorption. By sintering the probe substrate and the load resistor to the cavity wall, it is conducive to miniaturized integrated design. The probe structure is an independent design structure, and the power handling capacity of the 50-ohm resistor can be adjusted according to the power absorbed by the port.

[0079] Furthermore, the signal after the second power synthesis is turned to waveguide 5 through a T-type branch, and is processed into a 90° corner structure again through a step transition. The HT-type power splitter branches in two directions in the same direction, which facilitates the compact installation of eight power amplifier modules with equal spacing. At the same time, the step design makes the corner transmission characteristics reach the optimal state.

[0080] Furthermore, after the signal makes a 90° turn through the H plane, the two synthesized signals enter the H arm branch gradient waveguide 4, pass through the H arm spacer structure 3, synthesize the final power, and finally output through the H arm output gradient waveguide 2 and the H arm output waveguide 1. The eight-way synthesized power output with a bandwidth of 1.6GHz in the X-band is realized, with excellent performance indicators.

[0081] like Figure 4 The insertion loss characteristic curve and the output port return loss characteristic curve of this example.

[0082] like Figure 5 The isolation curves between the ET junctions and the four output ports after synthesis in this example are shown in FIG.

[0083] like Figure 6 This is the return loss curve of the magic T isolation end of this example.

[0084] The X-band waveguide hybrid synthesis network structure of this example is simple, the impedance matching of each port is good, the insertion loss of the eight-way branch is less than 0.3dB, the isolation between the four-way branches after synthesis is greater than 17dB, and it has a wide working bandwidth.

[0085] The hybrid synthesis network of this embodiment can be applied to multi-channel waveguide power amplifier / combining network, has simple structure, small size, and covers a wide frequency band. The matching structure and magic T after cavity division can be processed by one-time milling, which reduces the assembly error when assembling the matching results. The stepped 90-degree corner method is adopted to make the structure of the synthesis network more compact, and the phase and amplitude balance at the output port is very good, and there is good isolation between the isolation ports.

[0086] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to be the only one or to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
