Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of filter devices, and particularly relates to an airborne debugging-free high-power cross-coupled cavity filter. BACKGROUND

[0002] In an airborne high-power jamming system, a cavity filter is often used to filter out out-of-band stray signals and harmonic signals. With the gradual array application of modern jamming systems, the transmission power requirement is higher and higher, and the filter used in conjunction also has the requirements of power resistance, small size, light weight and high consistency. However, the traditional cavity filter has many drawbacks in dealing with the above-mentioned occasions. Mainly reflected in: 1, the traditional cavity filter needs to be tuned by a large number of tuning screws, and these screws usually need nuts for fastening. In the application of airborne platform, the frequent vibration of the aircraft itself often causes the screw to loosen after a long time of work, resulting in the failure of the filter; 2, due to the existence of tuning screws, the traditional filter is difficult to realize overall airtightness, which often causes the filter to fire under the condition of low air pressure at high altitude in the application of airborne platform, limiting the power capacity of the filter; 3, the traditional filter can only increase the size and the distance of the coupling gap to reduce the loss of the filter and improve the power capacity of the filter, so the filter with large power capacity is bulky and heavy, which cannot meet the miniaturization and light weight requirements of the airborne platform; 4, the tuning rod, tuning screw and other components of the traditional filter need to be assembled and tuned manually, and the production process is complicated. In the batch production process, it is difficult to realize the high consistency of the filter production. SUMMARY
