Description

Technical Field

[0002] The contents of this section merely provide background information related to the present application and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Microwave phase shifters are a type of device used for microwave phase adjustment. According to their structure, they can be divided into semiconductor phase shifters, micro-electromechanical phase shifters, ferrite phase shifters and mechanical waveguide phase shifters. A large number of microwave phase shifters work together to achieve spatial scanning of the beam. They are key components of the current phased array radiation system. In high-power microwave application scenarios, most types of phase shifters are difficult to meet the power capacity requirements and are prone to failure and damage. In comparison, mechanical waveguide phase shifters can effectively avoid damage caused by power concentration due to their waveguide structure and no pins. They have better power capacity and thermal stability, and are therefore gradually being widely used in high-power microwave systems.

[0004] Mechanical waveguide phase shifters can be divided into reciprocating structures and rotating structures according to the mechanical operation mode. Reciprocating waveguide phase shifters include wide-side adjustable phase shifters, bridge phase shifters, etc. Rotating phase shifters include circular polarization waveguide phase shifters and turnstile waveguide phase shifters. Design based on waveguides of different shapes can meet different needs, but the above-mentioned mechanical waveguide phase shifters all have the following defects: the current phase shifters are large in size, with complex waveguide branches and low space utilization; the phase shift speed is slow and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of real-time phase adjustment; there is a potential electromagnetic compatibility problem due to the lack of choke protection structure. The traditional choke structure does not have conformal characteristics and is difficult to meet actual application needs.
