The signal transmission in these frequency bands has extremely high rates and data capacity, providing technical support for the next generation of communications and high-precision detection. In this context, the transition structure from microstrip line to waveguide has become an important component of high-frequency RF systems due to its low loss and good transmission characteristics. However, with the increase in frequency, the transition structure faces greater challenges in design and application.
[0003] There is a key problem in the existing microstrip line to waveguide transition structure, that is, high-order mode resonance is prone to occur under high-frequency transmission conditions. The resonance phenomenon will cause a significant decrease in signal transmission efficiency and lead to unstable system performance. The main reason for this problem is that the dielectric-filled waveguide design in the transition structure fails to effectively suppress the excitation of high-order modes, thereby interfering with the normal transmission of the main mode. As the frequency increases further, the impact of high-order mode resonance becomes more significant, becoming the main bottleneck restricting the quality of high-frequency signal transmission.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0054] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 2 A millimeter wave terahertz microstrip to waveguide feeding structure provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, comprising: a PCB board 100, a plurality of metallized through holes 300 are opened on the PCB board 100, and the plurality of metallized through holes 300 are arranged in a rectangular array, and a microstrip line 400 is arranged on the top of the PCB board 100;
[0055] The filling medium 200 is filled in the metallized through holes 300 one by one, and the size of the filling medium 200 is calculated according to the following formula:
[0056] λ1=λ / (ε r ) 0.5
[0057] Where, λ1 is the diameter of the filling medium, mm;
[0058] λ is the transmission wavelength of the filling medium, mm;
[0059] ε r is the relative dielectric constant of the filling medium, unitless;
[0060] The transmission waveguide 700 is disposed at the lower portion of the PCB board 100 , and the microstrip line 400 is connected to the transmission waveguide 700 .
[0061] Specifically, a waveguide cavity is formed by the rectangular array of metallized through holes 300 of the PCB board 100 and the filling medium 200 to suppress the excitation of the higher-order modes of the electromagnetic wave and maintain the standard transmission mode (such as the TE10 mode). The connection between the microstrip line 400 at the top and the filling waveguide is ensured by adjusting the size and designing the probe structure to ensure impedance matching while reducing reflection losses. This structure uses the characteristics of dielectric filling to shorten the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in the waveguide, thereby reducing the overall size of the waveguide. Compared with traditional metal waveguides, this structure achieves a significant improvement in signal transmission efficiency by optimizing the size of the filling medium 200 and the arrangement of the metallized through holes 300. Its design solves the problems of narrow frequency band and significant resonance effect in the prior art, effectively reduces system losses, and improves transmission stability.
[0062] Please continue to participate Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the filling medium 200 is made of Rogers RO3003 material, the PCB board 100 includes a plurality of PCB boards 100, and the plurality of PCB boards 100 are connected by pressing and bonding.
[0063] Specifically, Rogers RO3003 is a low-loss, stable high-frequency dielectric material with a dielectric constant of εr≈3 and a low loss tangent value (usually less than 0.001), which is very suitable for efficient transmission applications in the millimeter wave and terahertz bands. The multi-layer PCB board 100 connected by press bonding can reduce the attenuation of signals between layers and improve the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the overall structure.
[0064] It should be noted that by selecting Rogers RO3003 as the filling medium 200 material, the structure of the present invention has extremely low loss characteristics in the high frequency band, and the lamination process reduces the impact of interlayer errors on signal integrity, thereby improving the consistency and efficiency of production. In addition, the design is relatively low-cost in large-scale production and is suitable for commercial millimeter wave and terahertz communication systems.
[0065] The filling medium 200 may be made of other materials with excellent high-frequency performance, such as a ceramic-filled PTFE substrate, to further reduce losses; the pressing method may be changed to directly use a high-strength adhesive to simplify the process.
[0066] Please continue to see Figure 1-2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the PCB board 100 includes:
[0067] A top plate 110, an inner plate 120 and a lower plate 130, wherein the top plate 110, the inner plate 120 and the lower plate 130 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom;
[0068] The microstrip line 400 is disposed on the top layer board 110 , and the transmission waveguide 700 is disposed on the bottom layer board 130 .
[0069] Specifically, the design of the multi-layer PCB board 100 separates the functional modules of the microstrip line 400 and the waveguide, thereby optimizing the performance of each part. The microstrip line 400 couples the electromagnetic wave signal to the waveguide cavity of the lower board 130 through the radiation probe 500 on the top, and the shielding design of the inner board 120 reduces the crosstalk between adjacent signals and improves the overall stability of the signal. The layered structure not only improves the transmission efficiency of the signal, but also provides a high degree of integration, so that the entire feeding structure can realize complex electromagnetic signal processing functions in a small size.
[0070] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the top layer board 110, the inner layer board 120 and the lower layer board 130 are pressed and bonded by Rogers RO3003 special PP.
[0071] Specifically, a special PP bonding material is used to bond the multi-layer PCB board 100 together through heating and high pressure processes. The low dielectric constant and low loss characteristics of the Rogers RO3003 PP layer further optimize the electrical performance of the overall structure, while the lamination process ensures the mechanical reliability between the board layers.
[0072] The professional bonding process achieves a low-loss, high-stability multi-layer structure, ensuring the consistency and reliability of millimeter-wave and terahertz signals during transmission. In addition, the PP lamination process greatly improves production efficiency and is suitable for large-scale production.
[0073] It is worth noting that the temperature and pressure parameters of the lamination process can be adjusted according to actual needs; the PP bonding material can be replaced by other materials with similar dielectric properties, such as polyimide film.
[0074] Please continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a radiation probe 500 is provided at one end of the microstrip line 400, and the radiation probe 500 is used to radiate and couple the electromagnetic waves in the microstrip line 400 into the filling medium 200 to achieve transitional transmission of signals.
[0075] Specifically, the design of the radiation probe 500 precisely adjusts its size and shape to enable it to play the role of energy conversion between the microstrip line 400 and the dielectric-filled waveguide. The probe converts the electromagnetic wave signal in the microstrip line 400 into the TE10 mode suitable for the waveguide, thereby achieving efficient coupling. The length, width and geometric shape of the probe tip need to be optimized through simulation to ensure that the radiation waveform matches the waveguide mode and reduce reflection loss.
[0076] It should be noted that the design of the radiation probe 500 significantly improves the signal conversion efficiency from the microstrip line 400 to the waveguide, while reducing the signal loss caused by electromagnetic wave reflection. The design is compact and suitable for high-frequency application scenarios in the millimeter wave and terahertz bands. The geometric shape of the radiation probe 500 can be changed to other forms, such as arc or pointed cone, to meet the optimization requirements of different frequency bands; the material of the probe can be selected from highly conductive materials, such as silver plating or aluminum, to further reduce conductive losses.
[0077] Please continue to see Figure 1-2 As shown, according to an optional embodiment of the present invention, it also includes:
[0078] The matching cavity 600 is disposed on the upper portion of the PCB board 100 . The matching cavity 600 is a metal-enclosed cavity. The matching cavity 600 is used to reduce the overall impedance of the microstrip-to-waveguide feeding structure.
[0079] Specifically, the matching cavity 600 adjusts the impedance matching by reflecting electromagnetic waves and interfering with the transmission waveform. The dimensions of the cavity (including length, width and height) directly affect the phase and amplitude of the reflected wave. By optimizing the cavity parameters, the standing wave phenomenon in the signal transition area is reduced, the reflection loss is further reduced, and the overall transmission efficiency is improved. The introduction of the matching cavity 600 effectively solves the impedance mismatch problem in the transition process from the microstrip line 400 to the waveguide, and significantly improves the efficiency and bandwidth performance of the feeding structure. At the same time, the metal closed cavity design provides additional electromagnetic shielding effect to prevent external interference signals.
[0080] Please continue to see Figure 1-2As shown, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, the transmission waveguide 700 includes:
[0081] A first waveguide 710, wherein the first waveguide 710 is connected to the lower plate 130;
[0082] The second waveguide 720 is vertically connected to the first waveguide 710 , and the second waveguide 720 is parallel to the lower plate 130 .
[0083] Specifically, the first waveguide 710 transmits the signal from the microstrip line 400 to the vertical direction, and the second waveguide 720 converts the vertically transmitted signal into horizontal transmission again, realizing a 90° turn in the signal direction. The seamless connection and size optimization of the two waveguides ensure the efficiency and integrity of signal energy transmission. At the same time, an internal step structure is set at the intersection of the two waveguides to suppress high-order mode excitation and reflected wave interference, further improving signal transmission performance.
[0084] This waveguide design effectively solves the problems of high loss and difficult direction change in traditional waveguide connections, with a short transmission path and high efficiency. The step structure at the intersection further reduces loss and inter-mode coupling, improving the reliability of the transmission system.
[0085] Please continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in an optional manner of the present invention, both the first waveguide 710 and the second waveguide 720 are BJ1200 waveguides, and an internal step structure is formed at the intersection of the first waveguide 710 and the second waveguide 720 .
[0086] Specifically, the BJ1200 waveguide is a standardized design suitable for signal transmission in the terahertz band. The step structure at the intersection ensures efficient transmission of signals in the TE10 mode by suppressing unnecessary high-order mode fluctuations and electromagnetic wave leakage. The height and width of the step are determined by simulation calculation to achieve the best match and the lowest loss.
[0087] The BJ1200 waveguide standard design is adopted, which is easy to process and assemble and suitable for industrial production. The intersection step design further reduces signal reflection and inter-mode interference, and improves signal integrity and transmission efficiency.
[0088] See also Figure 3 The present invention also provides a debugging method for a microstrip to waveguide feeding structure, comprising:
[0089] Determining the dimensions of the transmission waveguide 700;
[0090] A simulation model of a debugging method of a microstrip to waveguide feeding structure is established according to the size of the transmission waveguide 700;
[0091] The solution parameters are set according to the use frequency of the feeding structure, and the distribution spacing of the filling medium 200 and the size of the matching cavity 600 are set;
[0092] According to the distribution spacing of the filling medium 200 and the size of the matching cavity 600 set in the set simulation model, the standing wave value S and the loss value P are determined;
[0093] If the standing wave value S ≥ -10dB or the loss value P ≤ -0.15dB, reset the spacing of the filling medium 200 and the size of the matching cavity 600, and return to the previous step to redetermine the standing wave value S and the loss value P;
[0094] If the standing wave value S is less than -10dB and the loss value P is greater than -0.15dB, the debugging is completed and the set value in step 3 is taken as the actual value.
[0095] Specifically, determine the size of the transmission waveguide 700. According to the target operating frequency band and design requirements, refer to the size specifications of standard waveguides (such as BJ1200 waveguides), and use formulas to calculate key size parameters such as the length and width of the waveguide to ensure that the waveguide can support the transmission of the main mode (such as TE10 mode) at the target frequency.
[0096] Use simulation software (such as HFSS, CST, etc.) to establish a complete microstrip to waveguide feeding structure simulation model based on the determined waveguide dimensions. The simulation model should include microstrip line 400, filling medium 200, metallized through hole 300, waveguide structure and matching cavity 600, and define material properties, boundary conditions and excitation methods.
[0097] Among them, the key parameters are set according to the target performance requirements to set the simulation parameters: the spacing of the filling medium 200: the arrangement density and aperture size of the metallized through-holes 300 should be optimized according to the electromagnetic shielding performance and impedance matching requirements of the waveguide. The size of the matching cavity 600: including the length, width and height of the cavity, is used to adjust the phase and amplitude of the reflected wave.
[0098] Probe structural parameters: length and shape of the microstrip probe to achieve optimal energy coupling.
[0099] By adjusting the spacing and aperture size of the filling medium 200 and the size of the matching cavity 600 through simulation, the changes in the standing wave ratio (S11) and the transmission loss (S21) are monitored in real time to ensure that: the standing wave ratio is less than -10 dB, indicating good impedance matching; the transmission loss is less than 0.15 dB, ensuring efficient signal transmission.
[0100] Parameter optimization and performance evaluation are performed through simulation software, and electromagnetic field simulation technology is used to accurately model and analyze the role and performance of each structure in the transition process from microstrip line 400 to waveguide. By adjusting the spacing of the filling medium 200 and the size of the matching cavity 600, the impedance matching is optimized, the reflection loss and the standing wave ratio are reduced, and the feeding structure is ensured to maintain efficient signal transmission performance in a wide frequency band. At the same time, multiple iterative simulations are used to further refine the design to achieve performance limit optimization.
[0101] This debugging method has the following beneficial effects:
[0102] 1. High efficiency and high precision: The systematic parameter debugging method significantly reduces the number of experiments, optimizes the design process, and ensures that the final design has excellent performance.
[0103] 2. Cost and time saving: Simulation debugging reduces material waste and time consumption in traditional physical experiments, greatly reducing R&D costs.
[0104] 3. Strong adaptability: The debugging method is applicable to a variety of working frequency bands and different waveguide structures. By adjusting the simulation model parameters, it can meet various application requirements in the millimeter wave and terahertz bands.
[0105] 4. Performance optimization: Through the dual optimization of standing wave ratio and transmission loss, ensure that the feeding structure maintains low-loss and high-efficiency signal transmission characteristics within the target frequency band.
