[0029] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0030] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0031] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0032] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C," the expression should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C, etc.). Similarly, when using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, or C," the expression should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C, etc.).

[0033] To address the problem that the design of resonator-coupled microwave filters relies heavily on embedded optimization algorithms in commercial simulation software, and that the tuning process is difficult, potentially resulting in filters whose performance may not meet requirements, this invention proposes a method for adjusting the structural parameters of microwave filters.

[0034] For example, the zero-point and pole frequencies of each of the multi-order resonators in the first one-port network of the microwave filter are determined. Based on the zero-point and pole frequencies of each of the multi-order resonators in the first one-port network, the intermediate resonant frequencies of each of the multi-order resonators are obtained. For two adjacent resonators in the first one-port network, the intermediate coupling coefficient between the two adjacent resonators is obtained based on the zero-point, pole, and intermediate resonant frequencies associated with them. Based on multiple intermediate resonant frequencies, at least one intermediate coupling coefficient, and standard performance parameters corresponding to the microwave filter, the structural parameters of the first one-port network are adjusted.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the intermediate resonant frequencies of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network and the coupling coefficients between adjacent resonators in the first single-port network can be obtained based on the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network, and based on these, the structural parameters of the first single-port network can be adjusted in a targeted manner based on multiple intermediate resonant frequencies, at least one intermediate coupling coefficient, and standard performance parameters corresponding to the microwave filter, thereby reducing the tuning difficulty of the microwave filter and making the adjustment process of the structural parameters of the microwave filter more efficient.

[0036] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the structural parameters of a microwave filter according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for adjusting the structural parameters of the microwave filter includes operations S110 to S140.

[0038] In operation S110, the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network of the microwave filter are determined.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a microwave filter may include a power input interface, a multi-order resonator, and a power output interface, wherein the order of the resonator in the microwave filter can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0040] According to embodiments of the present invention, the first one-port network may include a portion of the structure of a microwave filter, or it may include the entire structure of the microwave filter. For example, the first one-port network may include the feed input interface of the microwave filter and half-order resonators in the microwave filter, or the first one-port network may include the feed input interface of the microwave filter and resonators of all orders in the microwave filter. The total order of the resonators in the first one-port network can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the zero frequency can be the frequency of the input signal when the input impedance of the first single-port network is zero, and the pole frequency can be the frequency of the input signal when the input impedance of the first single-port network is an extreme value.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, for example, a first single-port network can be simulated using full-wave electromagnetic simulation software to obtain the input impedance simulation curve of the first single-port network. The full-wave electromagnetic simulation software can be software used for designing, analyzing, and optimizing electromagnetic components and systems. The input impedance simulation curve characterizes the relationship between the frequency of the input signal and the input impedance of the first single-port network. Then, with the input impedance of the first single-port network at zero, the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of the first-order resonator in the first single-port network are determined based on the input impedance simulation curve. Furthermore, based on the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of the first-order resonator, the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of other resonators besides the first-order resonator are calculated using multiple intermediate expressions. The intermediate expressions can characterize the relationship between the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of the first-order resonator and the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of other resonators.

[0043] In operation S120, the intermediate resonant frequencies of the multi-stage resonators are obtained based on their respective zero-point and pole frequencies in the first single-port network.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network can be used as input parameters of the formula, and the intermediate resonant frequency of each of the multi-order resonators can be calculated using the formula, wherein the formula is a formula characterizing the relationship between the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of each of the multi-order resonators and the intermediate resonant frequency of each of the multi-order resonators.

[0045] In operation S130, for two adjacent resonators in the multi-order resonator in the first single-port network, the intermediate coupling coefficient between the two adjacent resonators is obtained based on the zero frequency, pole frequency and intermediate resonant frequency associated with the two adjacent resonators.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the zero-point frequency, pole frequency, and intermediate resonant frequency associated with two adjacent resonators can be used as input parameters of a formula, and the intermediate coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators can be calculated using the formula. The formula is a formula characterizing the relationship between the zero-point frequency, pole frequency, and intermediate resonant frequency associated with two adjacent resonators and the intermediate coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators.

[0047] In operation S140, the structural parameters of the first single-port network are adjusted based on multiple intermediate resonant frequencies, at least one intermediate coupling coefficient, and standard performance parameters corresponding to the microwave filter.

[0048] According to embodiments of the present invention, standard performance parameters can be parameters characterizing the functions that a microwave filter can achieve. Standard performance parameters of a microwave filter may include at least one of the following: standard filter type, standard center frequency, passband bandwidth, passband ripple, passband reflection loss, resonator order, filter prototype, standard quality factor, and standard coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators. According to embodiments of the present invention, structural parameters may include: the distance between two adjacent resonators in the first single-port network and the length of each of the plurality of resonators in the first single-port network.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present invention, multiple intermediate resonant frequencies and at least one intermediate coupling coefficient can be compared with the standard performance parameters corresponding to the microwave filter, and the structural parameters of the first single-port network can be adjusted according to the comparison results.

[0050] The method for adjusting the structural parameters of a microwave filter provided in the embodiments of the present invention can obtain the intermediate resonant frequencies of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network and the coupling coefficients between adjacent resonators in the first single-port network based on the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network. On this basis, based on multiple intermediate resonant frequencies, at least one intermediate coupling coefficient, and standard performance parameters corresponding to the microwave filter, the structural parameters of the first single-port network can be adjusted in a targeted manner, thereby reducing the tuning difficulty of the microwave filter and making the structural parameter adjustment process of the microwave filter more efficient.

[0051] According to embodiments of this disclosure, operation S110 may include the following operations.

[0052] With i=1, the first single-port network of the microwave filter is simulated to obtain the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of the first-order resonator in the first single-port network.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when i=1, the first single-port network can be simulated using full-wave electromagnetic simulation software to obtain the simulated input impedance curve of the first single-port network. Then, when the input impedance of the first single-port network is zero, the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of the first-order resonator in the first single-port network are extracted based on the simulated input impedance curve.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate resonant frequencies of the multi-stage resonators in the first single-port network can be obtained according to formula (1).

[0055]

[0056] Where i represents the order of the resonator. I represents the total order of the resonator. w 0iThe intermediate resonant frequency characterizes the i-th order resonator. The frequency of the t-th zero of the i-th resonator is 1≤t≤(I-i+1). The frequency of the qth pole of the i-th resonator is denoted by 1≤q≤(Ii).

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when i = 1, the intermediate resonant frequency of the first-order resonator can be obtained according to formula (2).

[0058]

[0059] Among them, w 01 The intermediate resonant frequency characterizes the first-order resonator. The zero-point frequency characterizes the first-order resonator. Characterizes the pole frequencies of a first-order resonator.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, operation S110 may include the following operations.

[0061] When 1 < i ≤ I, the second intermediate expression of order i is determined based on the first intermediate expression of order i-1. The first intermediate expression of order i is determined based on the second intermediate expression of order i-1, the second intermediate expression of order i, the intermediate resonant frequency of order i-1, and the intermediate coupling coefficient between the (i-1)th and i-th resonators. The zero frequency of the i-th resonator in the first single-port network is determined based on the second intermediate expression of order i. The pole frequency of the i-th resonator in the first single-port network is determined based on the first intermediate expression of order i.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when 1 < i ≤ I, the first intermediate expression can be formula (3), and the second intermediate expression can be formula (4). I can be an integer greater than 1. I can be configured according to actual business needs, and is not limited here.

[0063]

[0064] P i (w 2 )=Q i-1 (w 2 (4)

[0065] Among them, w 2 The intermediate variable representing the connection between formulas (3) and (4) is w. 0(i-1) The m represents the intermediate resonant frequency of the (i-1)th order resonator. (i-1,i) Q represents the intermediate coupling coefficient between the (i-1)th order resonator and the i-th order resonator. i (w 2) represents the i-th order first intermediate expression. Q i-1 (w 2 ) represents the (i-1)th order first intermediate expression. P i (w 2 ) represents the i-th order second intermediate expression. P i-1 (w 2 ) represents the (i-1)th order second intermediate expression.

[0066] In P i (w 2 When ) = 0, obtain the values ​​of the Ii values ​​of w for the i-th order resonator, and use these w values ​​as the zero frequencies of the i-th order resonator. At this point, these zero frequencies are...

[0067] In Q i (w 2 When ) = 0, obtain the values ​​of Ii-1 w of the i-th order resonator, and use these w as the pole frequencies of the i-th order resonator. At this time, these pole frequencies are...

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when i = 1, the first intermediate expression can be formula (5) and the second intermediate expression can be formula (6).

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when i = 2, formulas (7) and (8) can be obtained from formulas (3)-(6):

[0072] P2(w 2 )=Q1(w 2 (7)

[0073]

[0074] Substitute formula (5) into formula (7), and let P2(w) 2 If ) = 0, the zero frequency of the second-order resonator can be determined.

[0075] Substitute equations (7) and (6) into equation (8), and let Q2(w) 2 If ) = 0, the pole frequency of the second-order resonator can be determined.

[0076] Similarly, the zero-point and pole frequencies of the multi-stage resonators in the first single-port network of the microwave filter can be determined according to formulas (3)-(6).

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for adjusting the structural parameters of a microwave filter provided by the present invention can determine the zero-point frequency and pole frequency of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network, which prepares for obtaining the intermediate resonant frequency of each of the multi-order resonators in the first single-port network and the intermediate coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first single-port network may further include a feed input interface. Simulating the first single-port network of the microwave filter to obtain the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of the first-order resonator may include the following operations.

[0079] The initial interface distance and at least one initial resonator spacing distance of the first single-port network in the microwave filter are determined. The initial interface distance represents a virtual interface distance satisfying a first predetermined distance condition. The virtual interface distance represents the distance between the feed input interface and the first-order resonator of the microwave filter. The initial resonator spacing distance represents a virtual resonator spacing distance satisfying a second predetermined distance condition. The virtual resonator spacing distance represents the distance between two adjacent resonators in the microwave filter. With the microwave resonators satisfying the initial interface distance and at least one initial resonator spacing distance, the first-port network is simulated to obtain the zero-frequency and pole-frequency of the first-order resonator.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the virtual interface distance satisfying a first predetermined distance condition can be determined as the initial interface distance. The first predetermined distance condition can characterize a virtual interface distance where the difference between the virtual quality factor of the second single-port network, composed of the feed input interface in the first single-port network and the first-order resonator of the microwave filter, and the standard quality factor in the standard performance parameters is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold. The first predetermined threshold can be configured according to actual service requirements and is not limited herein. For example, the first predetermined threshold can be 0.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the virtual resonator spacing distance that satisfies a second predetermined distance condition can be determined as the initial resonator spacing distance. The second predetermined distance condition characterizes a virtual resonator spacing distance such that the difference between the coupling coefficient between adjacent two-order resonators in a third single-port network (composed of the feed input interface in the first single-port network, the first-order resonator of the microwave filter, and the second-order resonator of the microwave filter) and the standard coupling coefficient in the standard performance parameters is less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold. The second predetermined threshold can be configured according to actual business requirements and is not limited herein. For example, the second predetermined threshold can be 0. According to an embodiment of the present invention, determining the initial interface distance and at least one initial resonator spacing distance of the first single-port network in the microwave filter can include the following operations.

[0082] Based on standard performance parameters and a first mapping set, the initial interface distance of the first single-port network is determined. The first mapping set includes multiple first mapping relationships. These first mapping relationships characterize the relationship between the virtual interface distance and the virtual quality factor of the second single-port network. The second single-port network includes a feed input interface and a first-order resonator. Based on standard performance parameters and a second mapping set, multiple initial resonator spacing distances are determined. The second mapping set includes multiple second mapping relationships. These second mapping relationships characterize the relationship between the virtual resonator spacing distance and the virtual coupling coefficient. The virtual coupling coefficient characterizes the coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators in the microwave resonator.

[0083] According to an embodiment of the present invention, multiple first mapping relationships in the first mapping relationship set can be characterized by a relationship curve, thereby obtaining a first relationship curve between the virtual interface distance and the virtual quality factor of the second single-port network. When the virtual quality factor is equal to the standard quality factor in the standard performance parameters of the microwave filter, the virtual interface distance corresponding to the standard quality factor is determined according to the first relationship curve, and this virtual interface distance is determined as the initial interface distance of the first single-port network.

[0084] According to an embodiment of the present invention, multiple second mapping relationships in the second mapping relationship set can be characterized by a relationship curve, thereby obtaining a second relationship curve between the virtual resonator spacing distance and the virtual coupling coefficient. When the virtual coupling coefficient is equal to the standard coupling coefficient of the microwave filter, the virtual resonator spacing distance corresponding to the standard coupling coefficient is determined according to the second relationship curve, and this virtual resonator spacing distance is determined as the initial resonator spacing distance.

[0085] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the standard coupling coefficient of a microwave filter can characterize the standard value of the coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators in the microwave filter. Therefore, based on the virtual coupling coefficient, the standard coupling coefficient of the microwave filter, and the second relationship curve, the virtual resonator spacing distances corresponding to the standard coupling coefficients of each two adjacent resonators in the microwave filter can be determined, and these virtual resonator spacing distances are determined as the initial resonator spacing distances.

[0086] According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the initial interface distance of the first single-port network is determined based on standard performance parameters and a first mapping relationship set, and the initial resonator spacing distance of the first single-port network is determined based on standard performance parameters and a second mapping relationship set, that is, the determination of the initial interface distance and the initial resonator spacing distance are both based on standard performance parameters. Therefore, the initial interface distance and the initial resonator distance are made close to the relevant parameters corresponding to the standard performance parameters, thereby reducing the gap between the initial interface distance and the initial resonator distance and the structural parameters of the finally designed microwave filter, thereby reducing the number of tuning operations and improving the tuning efficiency.

[0087] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a second single-port network according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, the second single-port network 200 may include a power input interface 210 and a first-order resonator 220. The virtual interface distance between the power input interface 210 and the first-order resonator 220 is da. By adjusting the virtual interface distance da, multiple second single-port networks 200 with different virtual interface distances da can be obtained.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second single-port network can be simulated using full-wave electromagnetic simulation software to obtain the group delay of the second single-port network. Based on the group delay of the second single-port network, the virtual quality factor of the second single-port network can be obtained using formula (9).

[0090]

[0091] Among them, Q E The virtual quality factor characterizes the second single-port network. w0 characterizes the standard center frequency of the microwave filter in the standard performance parameters. τ s11 (w0) characterizes the group delay of the single-port network 11 at the standard center frequency.

[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the third single-port network can be simulated using full-wave electromagnetic simulation software to obtain the input impedance simulation curve of the third single-port network.

[0127]

[0128] According to embodiments of the present invention, the present invention can calculate the intermediate coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators based on analytical expressions, which prepares for subsequent comparison with standard performance parameters and improves the tuning efficiency of microwave filters.

[0129] According to an embodiment of the present invention, operation S130 may include the following operations.

[0130] The tuning direction is determined based on multiple intermediate resonant frequencies, at least one intermediate coupling coefficient, and standard performance parameters corresponding to the microwave filter. The structural parameters of the first single-port network are then adjusted according to the tuning direction.

[0131] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the tuning direction can be: by adjusting the structural parameters of the first single-port network, the intermediate coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators in the first single-port network satisfies a predetermined deviation range from the standard performance parameters.

[0132] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate coupling coefficient between each adjacent two-order resonator in the first single-port network can be compared with the standard coupling coefficient in the standard performance parameters. Then, based on the comparison results, it can be determined whether the intermediate coupling coefficient between adjacent two-order resonators in the first single-port network is within a predetermined deviation range from the standard performance parameters. Next, the tuning direction is determined based on the relationship between the comparison results and the preset deviation range, and the structural parameters of the first single-port network that need to be adjusted are adjusted according to the tuning direction.

[0133] According to embodiments of the present invention, the method for adjusting the structural parameters of a microwave filter provided by the present invention determines the tuning direction based on multiple intermediate resonant frequencies, at least one intermediate coupling coefficient, and standard performance parameters corresponding to the microwave filter. Therefore, the present invention can provide a tuning direction for adjusting the structural parameters of a microwave filter and improve the tuning efficiency of the microwave filter.

[0134] According to embodiments of this disclosure, standard performance parameters may include the standard center frequency of the microwave filter and the standard coupling coefficient between two adjacent resonators in the microwave filter.

[0135] According to an embodiment of the present invention, structural parameters may include the length of the resonator and the distance between two adjacent resonators.

[0136] According to an embodiment of the present invention, adjusting the structural parameters of the first single-port network according to the tuning direction may include the following operations.

[0137] For each resonator in the first single-port network, the length of the resonator is adjusted if the deviation between the resonator's intermediate resonant frequency and the standard center frequency falls within a first predetermined deviation range. For two adjacent resonators in the first single-port network, the distance between the two adjacent resonators is adjusted if the deviation between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient falls within a second predetermined deviation range.

[0138] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the deviation between the intermediate resonant frequency and the standard center frequency of the resonator represents the absolute value of the difference between the intermediate resonant frequency and the standard center frequency. A first predetermined deviation range represents the range within which the deviation between the intermediate resonant frequency and the standard center frequency does not conform to the performance specifications.

[0139] According to an embodiment of the present invention, for example, the first predetermined deviation range can be 20. When the deviation between the middle resonant frequency and the standard center frequency of the resonator is 25, the deviation between the middle resonant frequency and the standard center frequency of the resonator falls within the first predetermined deviation range, and the length of the resonator needs to be adjusted.

[0140] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the deviation between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient represents the absolute value of the difference between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient. The second predetermined deviation range represents the range within which the deviation between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient does not conform to the performance index.

[0141] According to an embodiment of the present invention, for example, the second predetermined deviation range can be 15. When the deviation between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient is 20, the deviation between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient falls within the second predetermined deviation range. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the distance between two adjacent resonators.

[0142] According to an embodiment of the present invention, for each resonator in the first single-port network, if it is determined that the intermediate resonant frequency of the resonator is greater than the standard center frequency and the deviation between the intermediate resonant frequency and the standard center frequency exceeds a first predetermined deviation range, the length of the resonator is increased. If it is determined that the intermediate resonant frequency of the resonator is less than the standard center frequency and the deviation between the intermediate resonant frequency and the standard center frequency exceeds a first predetermined deviation range, the length of the resonator is decreased.

[0143] According to an embodiment of the present invention, for two adjacent resonators in a first single-port network, if it is determined that the intermediate coupling coefficient is greater than the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient, and the deviation between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient exceeds a second predetermined deviation range, the distance between the two adjacent resonators is increased. If it is determined that the intermediate coupling coefficient is less than the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient, and the deviation between the intermediate coupling coefficient and the standard coupling coefficient corresponding to the intermediate coupling coefficient exceeds a second predetermined deviation range, the distance between the two adjacent resonators is decreased.

[0144] According to embodiments of the present invention, the first predetermined deviation range and the second predetermined deviation range can be configured according to business requirements, and are not limited herein. For example, when business requirements place high demands on the performance of the microwave filter, the first predetermined deviation range and the second predetermined deviation range can be reduced.

[0145] Table 6 is obtained by comparing the data in Table 5 with the corresponding data in Table 2.

[0146] Table 6

[0147]

[0148] As can be seen from the underlined data in Table 6, the intermediate resonant frequency w of the third-order resonator in the simulation parameters... 03The value is 6820, which is greater than the standard center frequency of 6800. The intermediate resonant frequency w of the 5th order resonator in the simulation parameters is... 05 It is less than the standard center frequency of 6800.

[0149] The first predetermined deviation range can be 15. At this time, the deviations of the intermediate resonant frequencies of the third and fifth resonators from the standard center frequency are 20 and 16, respectively. The deviations of the intermediate resonant frequencies of the third and fifth resonators from the standard center frequency both exceed the first predetermined deviation range, so the lengths of the third and fifth resonators need to be adjusted.

[0150] Since the middle resonant frequency of the third resonator is greater than the standard center frequency, the length of the third resonator needs to be increased. Since the middle resonant frequency of the fifth resonator is less than the standard center frequency, the length of the fifth resonator needs to be shortened.

[0151] The underlined data in Table 6 also shows that the intermediate coupling coefficient m between the second and third order resonators in the simulation parameters... 2,3 The intermediate coupling coefficient m between the 3rd and 4th order resonators in the simulation parameters is greater than the standard coupling coefficient of 1375.5. 3,4 It is also greater than the standard coupling coefficient of 1249.9.

[0152] The second predetermined deviation range can be 50, at which point the intermediate coupling coefficient m between the second resonator and the third resonator is... 2,3 The deviation from the standard coupling coefficient of 1375.5 is 65.2, and the intermediate coupling coefficient m between the 3rd and 4th order resonators is... 3,4 The deviation from the standard coupling coefficient of 1249.9 is 57.8, and the intermediate coupling coefficient m between the second and third order resonators is... 2,3 The deviation from the standard coupling coefficient and the intermediate coupling coefficient m between the 3rd and 4th order resonators 3,4 The deviations from the standard coupling coefficient all exceed the second threshold deviation range. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the distances between the second and third order resonators and between the third and fourth order resonators.

[0153] Due to the intermediate coupling coefficient m between the second and third order resonators 2,3 The intermediate coupling coefficient m between the 3rd and 4th order resonators is greater than the standard coupling coefficient of 1375.5. 3,4 It is also greater than the standard coupling coefficient of 1249.9. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the distance between the second and third order resonators and the distance between the third and fourth order resonators in order to reduce the intermediate coupling coefficient between the second and third order resonators and the intermediate coupling coefficient between the third and fourth order resonators.

[0154] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the above-described method for adjusting the structural parameters of a microwave filter may further include the following operations.

[0155] After adjusting the structural parameters of the first single-port network, the structural parameters of the microwave resonator are determined based on the adjusted structural parameters of the first single-port network.

[0156] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the order of the resonator of the microwave filter is less than 10, the structural parameters of the first single-port network can be determined as the structural parameters of the microwave resonator.

[0157] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the order of the resonator of the microwave filter is greater than or equal to 10, the structural parameters of the first single-port network can be half of the structural parameters of the microwave filter. By mirroring the structure of the first single-port network, the other half of the structure of the microwave filter is obtained, thereby determining the overall structure and structural parameters of the microwave resonator.

[0158] According to an embodiment of the present invention, mirror-symmetrically transforming the structure of the first one-port network to obtain the other half of the microwave filter structure may include: when the resonator order I in the microwave filter is odd, mirror-symmetrically transforming the first (I-1) / 2 order resonators in the first one-port network about the (I+1) / 2 order resonator to obtain the other half of the microwave filter structure. When the resonator order I in the microwave filter is even, mirror-symmetrically transforming the first I / 2 order resonators in the first one-port network about the center lines of the I / 2 and I / 2+1 order resonators, while removing the I / 2+1 order resonator to obtain the other half of the microwave filter structure.

[0159] According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the present invention can determine the structural parameters of the microwave resonator based on the adjusted structural parameters of the first single-port network after the structural parameters of the first single-port network have been adjusted, the structure of the first single-port network can be mirror-symmetrically mirrored to obtain the other half of the structure of the microwave filter, thereby reducing simulation time and improving the overall efficiency of adjusting the structural parameters of the microwave filter.

[0160] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the order of the designed microwave filter reaches ten or higher, the existing synthesis optimization method is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the performance of the designed microwave filter is not ideal. The microwave filter structure parameter adjustment method provided in this embodiment can accurately extract the effective parameters of the filter from the simulation results, and perform mirror symmetry on the structure of the adjusted first single-port network to obtain the other half of the microwave filter structure, reducing simulation time and number of simulations. Therefore, the method provided in this embodiment is more suitable for the synthesis design of high-order filters.
