Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to an absorption-type tunable bandstop filter. Background Technology
[0002] In order to achieve the segmentation and combination of spectrum resources, communication system front-ends require various high-performance filters. Among them, band-stop filters can shield electromagnetic signals in specific frequency bands and have wide applications in radar countermeasures and communication anti-jamming. After the spectrum signal received from the antenna passes through the band-stop filter, the interference signals that need to be filtered out are significantly attenuated and directly returned to the input. When mixed with the useful signal at the front end, they generate a large amount of interference, deteriorating the system's signal-to-noise ratio and reducing communication quality.
[0003] To address this issue, one approach is to add a ferrite isolator before the band-stop filter. Typical isolators in the 3GHz band are nearly two centimeters long and wide, and use various alloys for magnetic shielding. However, isolators themselves have drawbacks such as large size, heavy weight, and difficulty in integration with other planar circuits, hindering the miniaturization and weight reduction of receiver systems. Another approach is to integrate the isolator and band-stop filter, allowing the filter to simultaneously perform isolation functions. This new type of filter is called an absorptive band-stop filter, also known as a non-reflective filter. It uses a specific resistor network to absorb the desired spectral signal as heat, offering advantages such as small system size, light weight, and low cost.
[0004] Traditional absorptive band-stop filters mainly consist of two structures. Structure one employs the phase cancellation design principle, its basic structure including two filter branches and two power dividers connecting them. This requires a symmetrical transfer function and is rarely used in practical designs. Structure two is implemented using a complementary duplexer, which consists of a low-pass branch and a high-pass branch. The resonant frequencies of the high-pass and low-pass branches connected to the absorption resistor are complementary, thus dissipating unwanted spectral signals across the resistor. However, absorptive filters designed using this technique are relatively complex and bulky. Other typical absorptive filter structures include substrate-integrated waveguide absorptive filters, multilayer metal-coupled absorptive filters, and suspended coplanar waveguide absorptive filters, but they are all difficult to integrate with other planar circuits.
[0005] In recent years, some novel planar absorptive bandstop filters have attracted researchers' interest. A key feature of these filters is the integration of the absorptive network with the resonator, resulting in a significantly smaller size compared to traditional absorptive bandstop filters. Typical design schemes include L-shaped absorptive resonator structures, π-shaped network resonators, hairpin resonators, and resonators with high and low impedance lines. However, these schemes either present significant tuning challenges or have narrow tuning ranges, necessitating further performance improvements. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0028] It is worth noting that in this invention, "electrically connected" refers to electrical connection. The specific implementation methods include direct contact electrical connection, electrical connection through coupling, electrical connection through wires, electrical connection through connectors, etc. As long as it can transmit electrical signals, it is included in the concept of "electrically connected".
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this invention is mainly applied to mobile communication receivers, radar communication systems, satellite communication receiving systems, and microwave millimeter-wave radiometers.
[0031] The objective of this invention is to propose a novel absorptive tunable bandstop filter. The design in this patent has the advantages of simple structure, convenient cascading of resonant units, simple tuning control, and large tuning range, thereby solving the problems of complex structure, difficult control of filtering characteristics, and large size of resonant units in existing solutions mentioned in the background art description.
[0032] To achieve the above objectives, the band-stop filter circuit mentioned in this invention consists of three parts: a tunable band-stop filter component 3 and an absorptive component connected in series on both sides of the band-stop filter component. Theoretically, any band-stop filter can be connected in series with two absorptive components to form an absorptive band-stop filter, and its characteristic curve is jointly determined by the performance of the absorptive component and the performance of the tunable band-stop filter component.
[0033] Furthermore, the absorptive component consists of two specific absorptive coupling components. Each absorptive coupling component is formed by coupling two microstrip lines of equal length but different widths. A resistor is connected to the left side of the upper microstrip line, and the right side of the upper microstrip line is grounded through a metal via. The left and right sides of the lower microstrip line serve as the input / output ports 5 of the absorptive coupling component, connecting to other components. The product of the fundamental-mode impedance and even-mode impedance of the type A absorptive coupling component is less than the square of the filter's characteristic impedance, while the product of the fundamental-mode impedance and even-mode impedance of the type B absorptive coupling component is greater than the square of the filter's characteristic impedance. The type A and type B absorptive coupling components are connected in series to form the absorptive component.
[0034] Furthermore, the tunable band-stop filter component consists of a microstrip line and tunable band-stop resonators. The left side of the microstrip line is connected to input port 1, and the right side is connected to output port 5. The characteristic impedance of the microstrip line is 50 ohms to match the characteristic impedance of the SMA. The number of tunable band-stop resonators can be one, two, three, or more. Typical layouts fall into two categories: one where all tunable band-stop resonators are distributed on the same side of the microstrip line, and all are coupled to the microstrip line through slots; the second where the resonators are alternately distributed on opposite sides of the microstrip line, and all are coupled to the microstrip line through slots.
[0035] Furthermore, the center frequency of the tunable band-stop resonator is adjusted using a variable capacitor. One end of the variable capacitor is connected to the end of the SIR, and the other end is connected to a voltage source through a bias resistor. By adjusting the capacitance value of the variable capacitor according to its voltage tolerance range, the resonant frequency of the SIR resonator is changed, thereby altering the center frequency of the entire absorptive tunable band-stop filter.
[0036] The technical solution in this embodiment is further refined as follows:
[0037] An absorptive tunable bandstop filter comprises a dielectric substrate, a filter circuit disposed on the dielectric substrate, and a grounding metal plate disposed beneath the dielectric substrate. The filter circuit disposed on the dielectric substrate includes a type A absorptive coupling component, a type B absorptive coupling component, a tunable bandstop filter component 3, an input port 1, and an output port 5.
[0038] Furthermore, the Type A absorptive coupling component consists of a coupling line, a grounding resistor, and a grounding metallized via. The coupling line consists of two closely coupled microstrip lines of equal length but different widths. One microstrip line serves as the input / output interface, while the other microstrip line is connected to the grounding resistor on one side and grounded through the metallized via on the other. The product of the fundamental mode impedance and the even mode impedance of the Type A absorptive coupling component is less than the square of the characteristic impedance of the filter.
[0039] Furthermore, the Type B absorptive coupling component consists of a coupling line, a grounding resistor, and a grounding metallized via. The coupling line consists of two closely coupled microstrip lines of equal length but different widths. One microstrip line serves as the input / output interface, while the other microstrip line is connected to the grounding resistor on one side and grounded through the metallized via on the other. The product of the fundamental mode impedance and the even mode impedance of the Type B absorptive coupling component is greater than the square of the characteristic impedance of the filter.
[0040] Furthermore, the tunable bandstop filter assembly 3 consists of a microstrip line and tunable resonant units. Each tunable resonant unit comprises three folded step impedance resonators (SIRs) of varying widths. The bottom of each folded SIR is coupled to the microstrip line, and the end of the folded SIR is connected to a tunable capacitor. The capacitance of the tunable capacitor is controlled by voltage, thereby adjusting the center frequency of the tunable bandstop filter assembly 3. The number of tunable resonant units can be one, two, three, or more, and they can be distributed on one or both sides of the microstrip line. The characteristic impedance of the microstrip line is 50 ohms.
[0041] Furthermore, the circuit layout from left to right is as follows: input port 1, type A absorbing coupling component, type B absorbing coupling component, tunable bandstop filter component 3, type B absorbing coupling component, type A absorbing coupling component, and output port 5.
[0042] Furthermore, the control unit simultaneously adjusts the capacitor in the resonant unit to achieve tunability of the operating frequency of the absorptive bandstop filter.
[0043] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0044] Benefit 1: The absorption component composed of two sets of absorption coupling lines reduces the design difficulty of band-stop filters. The performance of the band-stop filter can be adjusted by simultaneously optimizing the parameters of the coupling lines and the resistors connected to them in the circuit design software. Any band-stop filter component can be added between the two sets of absorption coupling lines to construct a novel absorption band-stop filter.
[0045] Benefit 2: The tunable band-stop filter component is tuned by connecting a variable capacitor to an SIR resonator. It has many design parameters and simple filter performance control. The tuning method is simple and the tuning range is large. Together with the absorption component, it broadens the overall tuning range of the absorption filter.
