Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of isolator technology, and more particularly to a broadband self-biased isolator. Background Technology
[0002] Ferrite isolators are among the most widely used passive non-reciprocal devices in modern microwave / millimeter-wave / terahertz systems. They enable unidirectional signal transmission and provide isolation in the reverse direction, and are often used to isolate reflected signals and protect signal sources. When the frequency band reaches tens of GHz or higher, the normalized saturation magnetization of ferrite decreases significantly compared to the microwave band. This results in narrow bandwidths and low isolation for microstrip or stripline ferrite isolators commonly used in the microwave band, as well as junction or differential phase-shift waveguide ferrite isolators. However, at higher frequencies, the bandwidth of Faraday isolators is independent of the normalized saturation magnetization, exhibiting full bandwidth and high isolation, thus meeting the requirements of some special systems for miniaturization, wide bandwidth, high isolation, and high frequency isolators.
[0003] The broadband capability of isolators improves the system's anti-interference ability, increases the accuracy of target detection and measurement, and enhances the accuracy of target identification. The miniaturization of isolators facilitates system integration, reduces weight, and improves system mobility. Summary of the Invention

[0053] Example 1
[0054] A broadband self-biased isolator, which can be a broadband miniaturized self-biased isolator, includes a cavity, which is composed of a stepped waveguide 1 and a circular waveguide 2 on the same axis.
[0055] The stepped waveguide 1 is cylindrical in shape, with threaded holes, through holes, and pins on its left and right end faces, respectively. The inner cavity consists of two cuboid cavities 7 with an included angle of 11.25°. The two stepped waveguides 1 have completely identical structures.
[0056] The circular waveguide 2 is cylindrical in shape, with threaded holes and pin holes on its left and right end faces for precise positioning and connection with the stepped waveguides 1 at the left and right ends. A potting hole 9 is provided on the curved surface for bonding the absorber 6. The ferrite 5 employs a mode-passing transmission design, with the absorber 6 embedded in the center of the circular waveguide 2's inner cavity to eliminate high-order modes excited during electromagnetic wave transmission through the ferrite dielectric waveguide, ensuring good electrical performance. (Ferrite dielectric waveguide mode-passing transmission.)
[0057] Ferrite 5 is a self-biased, high-internal-field hexagonal ferrite material, coaxial with the circular waveguide 2. A ceramic cone 3 with a film is bonded to each end of ferrite 5, extending from the end face of ferrite 5 into the cavity of the stepped waveguide 1, achieving a smooth conversion of electromagnetic waves from the rectangular cavity of the stepped waveguide 1 to the ferrite 5 dielectric waveguide. A resistive film 8 is provided along the length of the ceramic cone 3. The resistive film planes of the two ceramic cones 3 form a 45° angle and are parallel to the wide side of their respective stepped waveguide 1 cavities.
[0058] The resistive film significantly affects device performance, especially isolation. Preferably, the absorber can be made of ferric hydroxide, and the resistive film can be made of tantalum. The dielectric constant of the ceramic cone material with film is close to that of ferrite, ensuring low reflection.
[0059] Using materials with low dielectric constants, such as epoxy resin or polyimide, as support rings ensures the positioning and support of the film-coated ceramic cone and ferrite while reducing the impact on electromagnetic wave transmission.
[0060] The hexagonal ferrite (ferrite) is magnetically biased by itself and can generate the Faraday rotation effect without the need for an external bias permanent magnet.
[0061] To meet the requirements of some special systems for isolators in terms of high isolation, broadband and high frequency.
[0062] The device was achieved by optimizing the material formulation, size, and surface roughness of the ferrite, the size and surface roughness of the cone, and the resistive film. Miniaturization was achieved using self-biased hexagonal high-saturation ferrite material and stepped waveguides, resulting in a broadband self-biased isolator. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the device achieves the following performance in an application example simulation design in the E-band (60-90GHz): within the full bandwidth, the return loss is better than 16.2dB, the transmission loss is less than 2.8dB, the isolation is better than 27.6dB, and the size is less than Φ12mmx15.05mm. Figure 3 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents frequency (GHz), and the vertical axis represents the S-parameters (dB). Of the four parameters, S... 11 and S 22 For return loss, S 21 For transmission loss, S 12 For isolation. Broadband self-biased isolators enable unidirectional transmission of electromagnetic waves.
[0063] The working principle of a broadband self-biased isolator is as follows:
[0064] Electromagnetic waves are input to the left-hand stepped waveguide 1, transmitting TE. 10 The electric field polarization direction is perpendicular to the left-end resistive film. It is transferred to the ferrite 5 via the left-end ceramic cone 3, where it is converted to HE. 11 Hybrid dielectric mode over-mode transmission is employed. The circular waveguide 2 incorporates an absorber 6 to eliminate unnecessary higher-order modes generated during mode conversion, preventing loss spikes. The electromagnetic wave then passes through the Faraday effect of the ferrite 5, causing its electric field polarization direction to deflect at 45°, perpendicular to the right-end resistive film. It then transitions through the right-end ceramic cone with film 3 to the right-end stepped waveguide 1, transforming into a TE wave. 10Modular output. During this process, the electric field polarization direction is perpendicular to the resistive film, and the resistive film generates almost no loss, enabling signal transmission. However, when the electromagnetic wave is input in the opposite direction, the electric field polarization direction is parallel to the left-end resistive film, generating loss, which is converted into heat, thus isolating the signal.
[0065] Example 2
[0066] This embodiment is a further improvement on Embodiment 1, wherein the absorber 6 has support rings 4 adhered to both sides. A hole is drilled in the center of the support ring 4 to allow the ceramic cone 3 with film to pass through. Adhesive is applied to the inner hole of the support ring 4 to provide positioning support for the ceramic cone 3 with film and the ferrite 5. The support rings can be made of materials with low dielectric constants, such as epoxy resin or polyimide.
[0067] The ferrite 5 is a self-biased, high-internal-field, high-saturation hexagonal ferrite material. Its length is minimized while ensuring a 45° Faraday rotation angle is generated, in order to reduce device size, lower transmission loss, and reduce interference from external stray fields.
[0068] Multiple components work together to form a radio frequency transmission system, enabling the transmission of electromagnetic waves.
[0069] The roughness of the inner cavities of stepped waveguide 1 and circular waveguide 2 is controlled, and the surfaces are gold-plated to reduce the conductor loss of electromagnetic waves.
[0070] Example 3
[0071] Based on Example 2, a specific embodiment is given for the 60–90 GHz frequency band. The stepped waveguide 1 and circular waveguide 2 are made of copper with gold plating. The ceramic cone 3 with a film is made of alumina ceramic material with low loss and dielectric constant matching that of the ferrite. The diameter at the cone tip is controlled within 0.15 mm to ensure good matching. The support ring 4 is made of polyimide, with a thickness controlled within 0.15 mm to ensure support while reducing its influence on the electromagnetic field. The ferrite 5 is made of M-type hexagonal high-saturation ferrite material, and a nanowire array structure can be used instead of the traditional cylindrical structure. M-type hexagonal ferrite material belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, with spontaneous magnetization preferentially oriented hexagonal crystal axes, resulting in a high remanence ratio; at the same time, the material adopts a nanowire array structure, which has extremely high shape anisotropy, resulting in a lower demagnetizing field and further improving the remanence ratio. The absorber 6 is a 1 mm thick hydroxyl iron ring.
[0072] The isolator simulation performance in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. From Figure 3 As can be seen from the data, the product in this embodiment has a full E-band operating bandwidth, dimensions of Φ12mm x 15.05mm, return loss better than 16.2dB, transmission loss less than 2.8dB, and isolation better than 27.6dB.
[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
