Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microwave planar filters for wireless communications. It is made of microwave dielectric substrate and metal and works in the microwave frequency band. It relates to a meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line and a bandpass filter. The upper and lower cutoff frequencies can be independently adjusted within a certain range. These SSPPs structures inherit the advantages of light weight, conformal, flatness and easy integration with traditional microwave circuits. Background technology:

[0002] In current broadband wireless electronic communication systems, filtering is an indispensable part of the RF link. In order to cope with various filtering requirements in RF circuits, there are always many filters with different functions in RF circuits, but the size of the filter is always limited by the wavelength. With the increasing requirements for the integration of wireless communication systems, the miniaturization, low crosstalk and adjustability of filters have become one of the research hotspots of filters.

[0003] Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are a type of surface electromagnetic wave mode that propagates at optical frequencies through the surface plasma oscillations of metals at the interface between metals and dielectrics. However, metals are considered to be good conductors below infrared frequencies and cannot produce surface plasma oscillations. In 2004, Professor Pendry's team experimentally demonstrated that etching a periodic groove structure on the metal surface can induce surface plasma oscillations in the terahertz and microwave frequency bands, namely artificial surface plasmons (Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons, SSPPs). SSPPs inherit the natural high-frequency cutoff characteristics of surface plasmons and good transmission characteristics such as field confinement, field enhancement effect, and low crosstalk. Therefore, they are widely used in the design of microwave devices, such as power dividers, combiners, couplers, filters, antennas, etc.

[0004] Previously, bandpass filters based on artificial surface plasmons were mostly designed based on the following two points: 1) cascading a waveguide with high-pass characteristics at the front end of the artificial surface plasmon transmission line, such as a substrate integrated waveguide; 2) designing a multi-layer structure to achieve bandpass characteristics through capacitive coupling between layers. The bandpass filters based on the above two designs are relatively large in size, so the present invention proposes a planar miniaturized bandpass filter that can independently adjust the upper and lower cutoff frequencies, namely, a meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter. Summary of the invention:

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line and a bandpass filter. The meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter provided by the present invention uses meander line technology, and the surface current path length of the meander line is equivalent to the groove depth of the traditional artificial surface plasmon unit, thereby significantly reducing the size of the filter; the conversion between the TEM mode and the TM mode uses a ladder matching structure, which further reduces the size of the filter compared to the coplanar waveguide structure. By adopting the mosaic method of the artificial surface plasmon unit provided by the present invention, only a single-layer meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line, a ladder matching structure and a 50-ohm microstrip line are required to achieve the bandpass characteristics, and the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter provided by the present invention has upper and lower cutoff frequencies that can be adjusted independently, and at the same time, the in-band is flat and the insertion loss is small, the rectangular coefficient is adjustable, and the out-of-band suppression is greater than -50dB.

[0009] The bend line is formed by two open bend lines embedded in each other; the position of the high-pass cutoff frequency of the filter is controlled by setting the groove depth of the bend line and the gap between the embedded parts; the position of the low-pass cutoff frequency of the filter is controlled by setting the groove depth of the bend line and the width of the bend line.

[0010] The depth of the trapezoidal corrugated groove line with gradual depth increases linearly multiple times, from 0 to the groove depth value of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit.

[0011] In the meander line dual conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line, the number of the meander line dual conductor miniaturized SSPPs units is set between one and infinity.

[0012] The number of times the depth of the trapezoidal corrugation groove increases linearly is three times; the number of the meander line double-conductor miniaturized SSPPs units is four.

The width of the rectangular metal strip (5) is w3 = 1.8 mm ± 0.1 mm, and the length is l3 = 4.6 mm ± 0.1 mm. A bandpass filter using a meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line is applied in a receiver of a broadband wireless communication system.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0022] In view of the increasing demand for integrated communication systems, the adjustable and miniaturized RF devices have become an important development trend. Therefore, the present invention proposes a miniaturized microwave device design with independently adjustable upper and lower edge cutoff frequencies, namely, a meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter.

[0023] In the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line proposed in the present invention, the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit is composed of two mutually interlocking open-circuit meander lines, a rectangular metal strip, and a rectangular waveguide. By controlling the surface current path length of the meander line, the upper edge cutoff frequency position of the transmission line can be independently regulated; by controlling the capacitive coupling gap of the meander line, the lower edge cutoff frequency position of the transmission line can be independently regulated. Compared with the SSPPs hybrid circuit and the multi-layer coupled SSPPs method, the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter made by the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line proposed in the present invention has a smaller volume and higher frequency selectivity, and at the same time has a flatter transmission coefficient and reflection coefficient in the passband, and the center operating frequency can be flexibly regulated by adjusting the meander line groove depth.

[0024] The present invention is a meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter, and the technical solution adopted is: a 50-ohm TEM transmission line, a momentum matching converter, and a meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line are cascaded, wherein momentum matching converters are respectively provided at both ends of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line, and the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line is connected to the 50-ohm TEM transmission line through the momentum matching converter; the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line is composed of a basic meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit, and this meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line is a double-line structure. The meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit is composed of a meander line, a rectangular metal strip, and a rectangular waveguide, wherein two rectangular metal strips are electrically connected to two mutually embedded open-circuit meander lines. The position of the lower edge cutoff frequency of the bandpass filter is adjusted by the surface current path length of the meander line; by regulating the width of the capacitive coupling gap between the meander lines, the position of the high-pass cutoff frequency can be independently adjusted within a certain range. In the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line, the number of meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs units can be set between 1 and infinity according to actual conditions. When the number is less than 9, the rectangular coefficient of the bandpass filter decreases as the number of units increases; when the number is greater than 9, the rectangular coefficient of the bandpass filter is no longer sensitive to the number of units. The momentum matching converter is composed of a trapezoidal corrugated groove line with a gradient depth, a rectangular metal strip, and a rectangular metal strip. The depth of the rectangular corrugated groove line is linearly increased multiple times, from 0 to the groove depth value of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit, and the present invention defaults to 3 times; the momentum matching converter can smoothly convert the TEM transmission wave on the 50 ohm transmission line to the TM polarized surface wave, and at the same time realize the impedance matching between the input and output ports and the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line. The 50 ohm TEM transmission line is composed of a microstrip line.

[0025] Example:

[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter provided by the present invention realizes the independent adjustment of the upper and lower edge cutoff frequencies and the center frequency inside and outside the passband; the zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter is realized in structure, which significantly reduces the size of the bandpass filter and is more conducive to the integration of wireless electronic systems. Its structure includes a 50-ohm TEM transmission line 6, a momentum matching converter 4, and a zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line. The zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line is composed of a cascade of basic zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs units 1. The number of zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs units 1 can be manually set according to actual usage, the number is ≥1, and the default setting is 4. The zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit 1 is a double-line structure. The zigzag line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit 1 is composed of a zigzag line 2, a rectangular metal strip 3, and a rectangular waveguide. Two rectangular metal strips 3 are electrically connected to two mutually embedded open zigzag lines 2. The position of the filter low-pass cutoff frequency is controlled by artificially setting the surface current path length of the meander line 2; the position of the high-pass cutoff frequency can be independently adjusted within a certain range by controlling the capacitive coupling gap between the meander lines. Momentum matching converters are respectively provided at both ends of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line, and the momentum matching converter is composed of a trapezoidal corrugated groove line 4 with a gradient depth and a rectangular metal strip 5. The depth of the trapezoidal corrugated groove line 4 is increased linearly multiple times from 0 to the groove depth value of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit, and the depth-gradient trapezoidal corrugated groove line 4 gradually converts the rectangular metal strip to a 50 ohm TEM transmission line 6 to achieve momentum matching. The momentum matching converter can smoothly convert the TEM transmission wave on the 50 ohm transmission line to a TM-polarized surface wave, and at the same time realize the impedance matching between the input and output ports and the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs transmission line. The 50 ohm TEM transmission line is composed of a microstrip line.

[0027] The meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter proposed by the present invention has a lower edge cutoff frequency of 1.5GHz, an upper edge cutoff frequency of 3.5GHz, and a 3dB bandwidth covering from 2.21GHz to 2.87GHz, i.e. 660MHz; its 3dB bandwidth passband ripple is less than 0.15dB, and the passband is flat; the reflection coefficient in the passband is less than -16.6dB. The stopband suppression capability above the cutoff frequency is better than -53dB, which can effectively suppress out-of-band interference.

[0028] The meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter proposed by the present invention mainly realizes low reflection coefficient in the passband by optimizing the momentum matching structure; by adopting reasonable structural parameters, the meander line width, gap, and surface current path length are artificially set when the filter is manufactured to adjust the transmission cutoff frequency of the filter. The manufactured meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter is assembled into a broadband electronic system, effectively reducing the volume and weight of the electronic equipment and realizing high-density component assembly of the electronic system.

[0029] The meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter of the present invention can also adjust the rectangular coefficient by setting the number N of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs units 1 when other parameters are fixed. When N is less than 9, the rectangular coefficient in the passband decreases as N increases; when N is greater than 9, the rectangular coefficient of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter is no longer sensitive to changes in the number of units. At the same time, the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter of the present invention can artificially adjust its upper edge cutoff frequency by changing the line width of the unit structure when other parameters are fixed.

[0030] The size parameter selection range of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter of the present invention is: the width of the rectangular metal strip (3) is h = 0.6 ± 0.1 mm, the length l1 = 1 mm ± 0.1 mm, the meander line (2) groove depth h0 = 3.5 mm ± 0.1 mm, the line width w0 = 0.4 mm ± 0.1 mm, the gap g0 = 0.2 mm ± 0.1 mm; the period of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs unit (1) is p = 4.6 mm ± 1 mm; the depth The width of the corrugated metal strip of the trapezoidal corrugated groove line (4) with a gradual change in degree is h1=1.8±0.1mm, h2=3.33±0.1mm, h3=3.93±0.1mm, h4=5.46±0.1mm, h5=6.06±0.1mm, h6=7.6±0.1mm, and the length is l2=2.6mm±0.1mm. The width of the rectangular metal strip (5) is w3=1.8mm±0.1mm, and the length is l3=4.6mm±0.1mm. When the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs bandpass filter of the present invention is actually applied, according to different communication occasions and application requirements, by matching and selecting the number N of the meander line dual-conductor miniaturized SSPPs units 1, the meander line width, the gap, the surface current path length and other parameters, different rectangular coefficients, insertion losses and transmission cut-off frequencies within the filter band are controlled to meet different application requirements.
