Description

[0002] Microwave refers to electromagnetic waves with a frequency range of 300MHz to 300GHz (wavelength of 1mm to 1m), and the frequency band is between FM broadcast radio and far infrared. Due to its special location, microwaves have the advantages of wide available frequency band, energy carrying, information transmission, and good penetration. At the same time, they also show a series of special properties of electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic compatibility, which makes microwaves have great scientific value and broad application prospects in military fields such as radar monitoring, environmental monitoring, radio astronomy, and broadband mobile communications.

[0003] Since microwave analysis needs to comply with the distributed parameter theory and is extremely sensitive to the size of the environment, it is extremely important to reduce the loss of microwaves during transmission. The W band (75 GHz to 110 GHz) is a commonly used band in microwave technology, because most of the waveguide systems in the W band use metal waveguides, and in technologies such as W band RF chip packaging, microstrip lines need to be used as waveguide systems, which cannot directly form a benign interconnection with the traditional W band waveguide system - metal waveguide. Therefore, it is necessary to realize the energy conversion between the waveguide and the chip, that is, to study the energy transition between the chip and the waveguide.

[0004] Existing transition technologies mostly use short-circuit structures, which leads to large overall three-dimensional dimensions.

[0049] According to a further optimization scheme, two symmetrically arranged through slots 13 are provided on the middle metal plate 9 , and the through slots 13 are arranged corresponding to the top of the standard W-band waveguide 1 .

[0050] The present invention comprises a top metal plate 3, a bottom metal plate 14, a plurality of HTTC dielectric plates 6 and a plurality of intermediate metal plates 9 to form a transition structure, and an on-board coupling plate 5 and a bottom-board coupling plate 10 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower planes of the transition structure, wherein the on-board coupling plate 5 is used to access the microstrip structure, and the bottom-board coupling plate 10 is used to access the rear end of the standard W-band waveguide 1.

[0051] A preferred example provided in a specific embodiment of the present invention is applied to an on-chip integrated waveguide-microstrip transition structure in the W band, including a bottom coupling plate 10, an on-board coupling plate 5, a coplanar waveguide 19, a microstrip line 4, another coplanar waveguide 19, another on-board coupling plate 5 and another bottom coupling plate 10 connected in sequence from one end to the other end.

[0052] The plurality of internal metallized vias 12 and the plurality of external metallized vias 7 form an electromagnetic shielding area.

[0053] The microstrip transition structure is affected by the top-layer coupling matching structure and adopts a microstrip structure with a larger width. Therefore, the electromagnetic radiation in the W band cannot be ignored. An internal metallized via 12 is added near the microstrip line 4 to reduce the electromagnetic energy radiation of the microstrip line 4. At the same time, the internal metallized via 12 does not penetrate the top metal plate 3 to ensure the sealing of the surface vacuum cavity 2.

[0054] Among them, for the convenience of testing, this embodiment is a symmetrical structure. From the surface layer, a single transition structure consists of a bottom coupling plate 10, an on-board coupling plate 5, a plurality of HTTC dielectric plates 6 between the bottom coupling plate 10 and the on-board coupling plate 5, an intermediate metal plate 9 between two HTTC dielectric plates 6, a plurality of internal metallized vias 12 arranged within the range of the surface vacuum cavity 2, a plurality of external metallized vias 7 arranged outside the range of the surface vacuum cavity 2, a coplanar waveguide 19 and a microstrip line 4.

[0055] The back-to-back structure is obtained by mirroring the above-mentioned single transition structure, and together they realize the waveguide-microstrip transition structure of the back-to-back structure.

[0056] In addition, the standard W-band waveguide 1 does not extend into a plurality of HTTC dielectric plates 6, but is pre-placed on the lower surface of the HTTC dielectric plate 6 located at the bottom, and a suitable closed surface is cut through the conductor surface to form a semi-closed field with the waveguide wall itself, thereby preventing electromagnetic energy from leaking from the interface. The setting of the shielding sheet 15 can also better concentrate the electromagnetic energy.

[0057] The geometric center of the bottom coupling plate 10 is located at the center of the cross section of the standard W-band waveguide 1, and is directly coupled with the electromagnetic energy in the standard W-band waveguide 1 through the air; the geometric center of the on-board coupling plate 5 is also located at the center of the cross section of the standard W-band waveguide 1, and the electromagnetic energy in the standard W-band waveguide 1 and the electromagnetic energy of the bottom coupling plate 10 are coupled to the on-board coupling plate 5 through a number of HTTC dielectric plates 6. By adjusting the spacing between the top metal plate 3 and the on-board coupling plate 5, it is possible to prevent the electromagnetic energy from leaking from the top gap of the HTTC dielectric plate 6 as much as possible, and the length and width of the bottom coupling plate 10 and the on-board coupling plate 5 can be adjusted to adjust the energy coupling efficiency. Since the back-to-back structure is a mirror-symmetrical structure, the symmetrical part structure is not repeated.

[0058] According to a further optimization scheme, at least one of the plurality of intermediate metal plates 9 located at the top is provided with a first connecting groove 8, the first connecting groove 8 is located between the two corresponding through grooves 13, the first connecting groove 8 is located directly below the second connecting groove 17, and the ends of the first connecting groove 8 are respectively connected with the corresponding through grooves 13;

[0059] The internal metallized vias 12 penetrate through the plurality of HTTC dielectric plates 6 and the plurality of intermediate metal plates 9 located below the first intermediate metal plate 9 without the first connecting slot 8 .

[0060] A first connecting slot 8 is provided in the middle of the intermediate metal plate 9 at the top. The first connecting slot 8 is provided to minimize the microwave loss from the coplanar waveguide 19 to the microstrip line 4. Fig.10 The middle curve S(2,1) achieves the minimum transition line loss by adjusting the slot width around the microstrip line 4, which can be obtained through simulation scanning.

[0061] like Fig.10 As shown, it is a simulation result diagram of S11 and S21 when a preferred embodiment of the present invention is applied to the W band, from which it can be known that:

[0062] The standard W-band waveguide 1, the coplanar waveguide 19 and the microstrip line 4 determine the center frequency of the electromagnetic energy. By adjusting the appropriate line width w of the microstrip line 4 and the spacing between the center guide strip of the coplanar waveguide 19 and the grounding layer of the coplanar waveguide 19, as well as the side lengths of the coupling plate 5 on the board and the coupling plate 10 at the bottom of the board, and the spacing between the coupling plate 5 on the board and the metal surface, the electromagnetic energy coupling between the W-band standard waveguide and the microstrip line 4 with a wider actual bandwidth can be achieved in the W band. Finally, through optimization and reference to the HTCC process, the line width w of the microstrip line 4 is 0.1 mm, the spacing between the center guide strip of the coplanar waveguide 19 (i.e., the edge of the microstrip line 4) and the grounding layer of the coplanar waveguide 19 (i.e., the edge of the connection between the top metal plate slot 16 and the second connecting slot 17) is 0.097 mm, and the board The coupling plate 5 is 0.62 mm long and 0.48 mm wide, the coupling plate 10 at the bottom of the board is 1.16 mm long and 0.15 mm wide, the spacing m between the coupling plate 5 on the board and the top metal plate 3 is 0.12 mm, the external metallized via 7 and the internal metallized via 12 are conical with a front diameter of 70 um and a back diameter of 62 um, the total thickness of the transition structure (including the top metal plate 3, the bottom metal plate 14, several HTTC dielectric plates 6 and several intermediate metal plates 9) is 0.49 mm, wherein the thickness of the top metal plate 3, the bottom metal plate 14 and the intermediate metal plate 9 are all 0.01 mm, the top metal plate 3, the bottom metal plate 14 and the several intermediate metal plates 9 are nine in total, and the thickness of the single-layer HTTC dielectric plate 6 is 0.05 mm.

[0063] According to the above analysis and optimization data, the simulation results are obtained: in the frequency range of 90.57-96.25GHz, the echo is better than 15dB and the insertion loss is better than 5dB, while the commonly used one-way transition only considers the one-side transition and does not need to consider the back-to-back structure, that is, the loss and echo of the actual one-side structure will be further optimized. It shows that the present invention can be applied to the field of W-band microwave chip packaging, and has the performance of low loss, low echo, simple structure and convenient processing.

[0064] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0065] 1. The waveguide-microstrip coupling transition structure is adopted to realize the transition from microstrip line 4 to standard microwave waveguide, which can be applied to the field of microwave chip packaging and has the advantages of low loss, wide frequency band, high transition efficiency, simple structure and convenient processing;

[0066] 2. Using HTCC itself as the medium to isolate the air in the vacuum cavity and waveguide solves the key problems of low air tightness and short service life of the traditional short-circuit structure;

[0067] 3. The new HTCC coupling structure is adopted, which utilizes the coupling between parallel surfaces and the shielding of metallized vias and conductor planes to efficiently transfer the electromagnetic energy in the waveguide to the subsequent microstrip circuit, solving the problem of large three-dimensional volume in traditional short-circuit surface structures and providing a reference for achieving small volume and high density in the field of microwave chip packaging.

Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
