DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0064] In order to realize the miniaturization and high-precision packaging of frequency conversion devices and improve the anti-interference performance, the present invention provides a high-airtightness SIP frequency conversion device suitable for microwave communication. Specifically, the frequency conversion device includes:

[0065] A microwave communication device, packaged on a device carrier board 1, at least comprising a frequency conversion receiving channel for frequency conversion processing of microwave signals during microwave communication and a pulse transmission channel for modulation processing during microwave communication;

[0066] The sealed isolation cover is assembled on the device carrier 1, and the microwave communication device is sealed on the device carrier 1, and at least a frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and a pulse transmitting channel cavity are formed on the device carrier 1 through the sealed isolation cover, wherein:

[0067] The frequency conversion receiving channel is distributed in the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity, the pulse transmitting channel is distributed in the pulse transmitting channel cavity, and the frequency conversion receiving channel is electromagnetically isolated from the pulse transmitting channel by a sealed isolation cover;

[0068] When the frequency conversion receiving channel includes at least two mixer devices, at least electromagnetic isolation between the mixer devices is configured in the cavity of the frequency conversion receiving channel.

[0069] In order to meet the needs of microwave communication, the frequency conversion device of the present invention should include a microwave communication device, that is, the needs of microwave communication can be realized through the microwave communication device. Specifically, the microwave communication device is packaged on the device carrier 1, so as to support the microwave communication device by using the device carrier 1. The microwave communication device may include a frequency conversion receiving channel and a pulse transmission channel, wherein the frequency conversion processing of the microwave signal can be realized through the frequency conversion receiving channel, specifically, the frequency conversion processing can be such as increasing the frequency of the microwave signal or reducing the frequency of the microwave signal; the modulation processing of the microwave signal can be realized through the pulse transmission channel, specifically, the modulation processing of the microwave signal can be realized, such as driving and amplifying the microwave signal, therefore, the frequency conversion processing of the microwave signal by the frequency conversion receiving channel and the modulation processing of the microwave signal by the pulse transmission channel can be selected and determined according to the actual application scenario.

[0070] The microwave communication device packaged on the device carrier 1 can be sealed on the device carrier 1 by a sealing isolation cover. The sealing isolation cover should be a metal cover. At this time, the characteristics of the sealing isolation cover can be used to achieve electromagnetic isolation between the microwave communication device and the outside, and the sealing effect of the sealing isolation cover can meet the airtightness requirements of the frequency conversion device. Specifically, the airtightness requirements of the frequency conversion device are met, including meeting the gas sealing performance requirements of the microwave communication device and avoiding the ability of gas to penetrate or leak through the device carrier 1, so that the frequency conversion device has the advantages of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.

[0071] In order to improve the anti-interference ability of the frequency conversion device, at least a frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and a pulse transmitting channel cavity can be formed on the device carrier 1 through a sealed isolation cover. Specifically, the formed frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and pulse transmitting channel cavity are isolated from each other. When the frequency conversion receiving channel is placed in the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity, and the pulse transmitting channel cavity is placed in the pulse transmitting channel cavity, electromagnetic isolation can be achieved between the frequency conversion receiving channel and the pulse transmitting channel. Therefore, it can be seen that the frequency conversion receiving channel and the pulse transmitting channel will not generate electromagnetic interference.

[0072] When the microwave signal is frequency-converted, the frequency conversion receiving channel should include at least one mixer device. When the frequency conversion receiving channel includes two or more mixer devices, it can be seen from the above description that adjacent mixer devices will also cause electromagnetic interference during mixing. In order to reduce or avoid electromagnetic interference between mixer devices, in one embodiment of the present invention, at least electromagnetic isolation between mixer devices is configured in the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity. Specifically, the electromagnetic isolation method between mixer devices can be selected according to needs, such as the mixer devices can be respectively located in the corresponding corresponding frequency conversion receiving channel sub-cavities. Of course, the frequency conversion receiving channel sub-cavities should have the ability of electromagnetic shielding.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sealed isolation cover comprises a carrier wall 5 arranged on the device carrier 1, a metal frame located inside the carrier wall 5, and a metal cover plate for closing the carrier wall 5, wherein:

[0074] The metal enclosure is placed on the device carrier 1, and the metal enclosure is connected to the carrier wall 5 through adaptation, so as to form a frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and a pulse transmitting channel cavity on the device carrier 1, and the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and the pulse transmitting channel cavity are isolated from each other;

[0075] When the frequency conversion receiving channel includes at least two mixer devices, the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity is configured by a metal frame to form at least two frequency conversion receiving channel sub-cavities.

[0076] The mixer devices in the frequency converter communication module are respectively located in the corresponding frequency converter receiving channel sub-cavities, the frequency converter receiving channel sub-cavities are interconnected through the metallized wire slots 3 that pass through the metal frame, and the RF microstrip lines 4 connecting the mixer devices pass through the metallized wire slots 3.

[0077] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a sealing isolation cover is assembled on a device carrier 1. In the figure, the sealing isolation cover includes a carrier wall 5, which is fixed on the device carrier 1. The shape of the carrier wall 5 is generally consistent with the shape of the device carrier 1. Figure 1 In the embodiment, when the device carrier 1 is rectangular, the carrier wall 5 is also rectangular, and the carrier wall 5 extends vertically on the device carrier 1, so as to provide a space for accommodating the frequency conversion receiving channel and the pulse transmitting channel. The carrier wall 5 is generally open, and the carrier wall 5 can be closed by a metal cover. In this case, a sealed space can be formed by the carrier wall 5 and the metal cover. Figure 1 The distribution of the metal cover plate on the carrier wall 5 is not shown. The metal cover plate is fixedly connected to the carrier wall 5. For example, the metal cover plate can be fixed to the carrier wall 5 by parallel sealing welding. In addition, the metal cover plate can also be integrally formed with the carrier wall 5.

[0078] In order to form the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and the pulse transmitting channel cavity, a metal frame should be provided inside the carrier wall 5. Figure 1 An embodiment of a metal enclosure is shown in FIG. 1 , in which the metal enclosure includes a first metal enclosure 2 and a second metal enclosure 39 . The first metal enclosure 2 and the second metal enclosure 39 are perpendicular to each other, thus forming a cross-shaped distribution form. Figure 1 In the figure, the length direction of the second metal enclosure 39 is consistent with the length direction of the carrier wall 5, and the length direction of the first metal enclosure 2 is consistent with the width direction of the carrier wall 5. The second metal enclosure 39 can be used to separate the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and the pulse transmission channel cavity.

[0079] Generally, the first metal enclosure 2 and the second metal enclosure 39 are supported on the device carrier 1, and the first metal enclosure 2 and the second metal enclosure 39 are adaptably connected to the metal cover. At this time, the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and the pulse transmitting channel cavity can be isolated from each other, that is, the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and the pulse transmitting channel cavity are not connected to each other.

[0080] When the metal frame also includes a metal first enclosure 2, the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity is at least divided into a first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel and a second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel. At this time, the two mixer devices in the frequency conversion receiving channel can be respectively located in the first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel and the second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel. Figure 1In the embodiment, the metal first enclosure 2 is used to separate the pulse emission channel into a first sub-cavity 8 of the pulse emission channel and a second sub-cavity 9 of the pulse emission channel. At this time, the pulse emission channel can also be arranged in a divided cavity.

[0081] When the mixer devices are placed in the first sub-cavity 6 and the second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel respectively, the mixer devices should be electrically connected when the two mixer devices are electromagnetically connected, that is, they need to be connected to form a frequency conversion receiving channel. In order to meet the corresponding electrical connection requirements, Figure 2 An embodiment is shown in the figure, in which a metallized wire groove 3 is provided at the lower part of the metal first enclosure 2, and the metallized wire groove 3 passes through the metal first enclosure 2. The first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel can be connected with the corresponding second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel through the corresponding metallized wire groove 3. At this time, the corresponding RF microstrip line 4 can pass through the metallized wire groove 3 to realize the electrical connection of the two corresponding mixer devices. Of course, when the pulse transmission channel cavity is separated by the metal first enclosure 2 to form the first sub-cavity 8 of the pulse transmission channel and the second sub-cavity 9 of the pulse transmission channel, the metallized wire groove 3 is also required to be provided on the metal first enclosure 2 to meet the connection requirements of the corresponding devices in the pulse transmission channel.

[0082] In specific implementation, the carrier wall 5 should be made of metal, and the metal frame can be selected according to the actual conditions of the frequency conversion receiving channel and the pulse transmission channel, so as to meet the requirements of forming the required frequency conversion receiving channel cavity and the pulse transmission channel cavity. The first metal enclosure 2 and the second metal enclosure 39 are in the shape of a flat plate. It can be understood that the second metal enclosure 39 is a solid structure, and the area on the first metal enclosure 2 except for the metallized wire slot 3 is preferably a solid structure to improve the electromagnetic shielding effect.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the frequency conversion receiving channel includes two mixer devices, the frequency conversion receiving channel includes a primary mixer device and a secondary mixer device, wherein:

[0084] The first-order mixing device is distributed in one frequency conversion receiving channel sub-cavity, and the second-order mixing device is distributed in another frequency conversion receiving channel sub-cavity;

[0085] The first-stage mixer device and the second-stage mixer device are electrically connected to form a frequency conversion receiving channel after the electrical connection is adapted;

[0086] When the microwave signal is frequency-converted, the microwave signal is mixed by a first-stage mixer and a second-stage mixer in sequence, and a corresponding intermediate frequency microwave signal is generated after the second-stage mixer.

[0087] Specifically, when the frequency conversion receiving channel includes two mixer devices, the frequency converter communication module can be composed of a first-level mixer device and a second-level mixer device, that is, a frequency conversion receiving channel can be formed by connecting the first-level mixer device and the second-level mixer device. It can be seen that the first-level mixer device and the second-level mixer device each include a mixer device.

[0088] It can be seen from the above description that when the frequency conversion communication device includes two mixer devices, the frequency conversion receiving channel cavity is divided into a first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel and a second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel. The first-level mixing interval can be arranged in the first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel or the second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel, and the second-level mixing device can be arranged in the second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel or the first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel. The distribution positions of the first-level mixing device and the second-level mixing device can be selected according to actual needs, specifically based on whether they can be connected to form a frequency conversion receiving channel and can achieve electromagnetic isolation between the two mixer devices. Figure 3 An embodiment of the first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel and the second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel is shown in the figure. In the figure, the first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel and the second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel are located on both sides of the first metal enclosure 2. In addition, the first-stage mixing device is located in the second sub-cavity 7 of the frequency conversion receiving channel. At this time, the second-stage mixing device is located in the first sub-cavity 6 of the frequency conversion receiving channel.

[0089] When a frequency conversion receiving channel is formed by a first-level mixer and a second-level mixer, and a microwave signal is frequency converted by the frequency conversion receiving channel, the microwave signal is mixed by the first-level mixer and the second-level mixer in turn, and the corresponding intermediate frequency is generated by the second-level mixer. Figure 4 In the figure, IF is the intermediate frequency microwave signal, and RX-in is the microwave input signal before entering the first-stage mixing device.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first-stage frequency mixer device comprises a limiting low-noise amplifier circuit 11, a switch circuit 12, a switch filter circuit 13, an amplitude modulation and phase modulation circuit 14, and a first-stage frequency mixer filter amplifier circuit 15 connected in sequence.

[0091] The secondary frequency mixer device includes a secondary frequency mixer amplifier circuit 16, a secondary frequency mixer post-low-pass filter circuit 17 and an intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 18 connected in sequence, wherein:

[0092] The first-stage mixer filter amplifier circuit 15 and the second-stage mixer amplifier circuit 16 are adaptively connected through the radio frequency microstrip line 4 passing through the metallized line slot 3, so as to configure the first-stage mixer device and the second-stage mixer device to be adaptively connected;

[0093] When the microwave signal is subjected to frequency conversion processing, the microwave signal is sequentially passed through the limiting low noise amplifier circuit 11, the switch circuit 12, the switch filter circuit 13, the amplitude modulation and phase modulation circuit 14, and is subjected to the first preset mixing processing through the first-stage mixer filter amplifier circuit 15, so as to generate a first-stage mixed microwave signal after the first preset mixing processing;

[0094] The microwave signal after the primary mixing is transmitted to the secondary mixing amplifier circuit 16 via the radio frequency microstrip line 4, and is subjected to a second preset mixing process by the secondary mixing amplifier circuit 16 to generate a secondary mixed microwave signal after the second preset mixing process;

Therefore, the transmission output interface 28 is adaptively connected to the bottom ground layer RF transmission output interface 65 through the corresponding stepped RF vias. After that, the microwave signal TX-out can be led out to the bottom ground layer RF transmission output interface 65 through the transmission output interface 28 and the corresponding stepped RF vias, and can be output externally through the bottom ground layer RF transmission output interface 65.

The staggered distribution specifically refers to the variable frequency receiving channel grounding holes 59, the pulse transmitting channel grounding holes 77, and the variable frequency receiving channel grounding holes 59 and the pulse transmitting channel grounding holes 77 are all in a staggered distribution state, such as Fig.11 As shown, the anti-interference capability can be further improved by adopting a staggered distribution state.

[0152] In specific implementation, after the frequency conversion receiving channel and the pulse transmitting channel are bonded to the microwave signal layer 46 by high temperature conductive adhesive, the corresponding grounding terminals will be electrically connected to the frequency conversion receiving channel grounding holes 59 and the pulse transmitting channel grounding holes 77. Therefore, the frequency conversion receiving channel grounding holes 59 and the pulse transmitting channel grounding holes 77 can be prepared in advance in the device carrier 1 and arranged in a staggered distribution state.

[0153] In order to ensure the normal operation of microwave communication devices, a microwave signal layer power interface group and a microwave signal layer control interface group are also set on the microwave signal layer 46. At the same time, a bottom ground layer power interface group and a bottom ground layer control interface group should also be set on the bottom ground layer 50. Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a microwave signal layer power interface group and a microwave signal layer control interface group. Figure 6 An embodiment of a bottom ground layer power interface group and a bottom ground layer control interface group is shown in the figure, and a specific description is given below.

[0154] Figure 3 In the figure, the microwave signal layer power interface group includes a first power supply interface 29 of the microwave signal layer, a second power supply interface 30 of the microwave signal layer, a third power supply interface 31 of the microwave signal layer, and a fourth power supply interface 32 of the microwave signal layer. The first power supply interface 29 of the microwave signal layer and the second power supply interface 30 of the microwave signal layer can be used to power the frequency conversion receiving channel, and the third power supply interface 31 of the microwave signal layer and the fourth power supply interface 32 of the microwave signal layer can be used to power the pulse transmission channel.

[0155] Figure 6In the embodiment, the bottom ground layer power interface group includes the bottom ground layer first power interface 66, the bottom ground layer second power interface 67, the bottom ground layer third power interface 68, and the bottom ground layer fourth power interface 69. Specifically, the bottom ground layer first power interface 66 corresponds to the microwave signal layer first power interface 29, the microwave signal layer second power interface 30 corresponds to the bottom ground layer second power interface 67, the bottom ground layer third power interface 68 corresponds to the microwave signal layer third power interface 31, and the bottom ground layer fourth power interface 69 corresponds to the microwave signal layer fourth power interface 32. In specific implementation, the two corresponding power interfaces are connected to achieve power connection, such as the bottom ground layer first power interface 66 and the microwave signal layer first power interface 29 are connected for power supply, wherein, during power supply connection, the bottom ground layer first power interface 66 is connected to the power circuit layer 49 through the first power supply connection via, and the power circuit layer 49 is electrically connected to the microwave signal layer first power interface 29 through the second power supply connection via. The power supply connection methods of other corresponding power interfaces can refer to the current description and will not be repeated here.

[0156] Furthermore, the microwave signal layer control interface group can realize the required control of the microwave communication module, such as the switch control of the switch circuit 12 mentioned above. Figure 3 In the microwave signal layer control interface group, the microwave signal layer first control interface 33, the microwave signal layer second control interface 34, the microwave signal layer third control interface 35, the microwave signal layer fourth control interface 36, the microwave signal layer fifth control interface 37, and the microwave signal layer sixth control interface 38;

[0157] Figure 6 In the figure, the bottom ground layer control interface group includes the bottom ground layer first control interface 70, the bottom ground layer second control interface 71, the bottom ground layer third control interface 72, the bottom ground layer fourth control interface 73, the bottom ground layer fifth control interface 74, and the bottom ground layer sixth control interface 75, wherein the bottom ground layer first control interface 70 corresponds to the first control interface 33 of the microwave signal layer, the bottom ground layer second control interface 71 corresponds to the second control interface 34 of the microwave signal layer, the bottom ground layer third control interface 72 corresponds to the third control interface 35 of the microwave signal layer, the bottom ground layer fourth control interface 73 corresponds to the fourth control interface 36 of the microwave signal layer, the microwave signal layer fifth control interface 37 corresponds to the fifth control interface 74 of the bottom ground layer, and the microwave signal layer sixth control interface 38 corresponds to the sixth control interface 75 of the bottom ground layer.

[0158] During specific implementation, the corresponding control interface needs to be connected. The control interface connection method can refer to the instructions for the above-mentioned power supply interface connection. The difference from the power supply interface connection is that when connecting the control interface, the connecting via should be connected to the signal circuit layer 48, that is, the control signal is processed through the signal circuit layer 48.

[0159] It can be seen from the above description that when the device carrier 1 adopts other forms, the control interface connection and the power supply interface connection method can be selected according to the form of the device carrier 1 so as to achieve the corresponding positive conductive connection while meeting the airtightness requirements. Examples will not be given one by one here.
