Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a terahertz frequency multiplier. Background Art
[0002] For the application field of terahertz frequency band, high-quality terahertz frequency source is the key to the application of terahertz system, and its performance largely determines the performance of the system. At present, terahertz solid-state frequency source is developing towards higher frequency, greater power, wider bandwidth, monolithic integration, ultra-low phase noise and other directions.
[0003] In the terahertz frequency band, due to the high operating frequency, the transmission loss of the transmission line cannot be ignored. Existing terahertz frequency multipliers often use suspended microstrip lines, microstrip lines, coplanar waveguides, etc. with shielded cavities as waveguide systems. Among them, the most obvious feature is that the reverse-parallel Schottky diode pairs are flip-chip packaged and bonded to the substrate with silver glue.
[0004] Terahertz frequency multipliers often use rectangular waveguide structures, and nonlinear devices are arranged on microstrip lines. Although the terahertz frequency microstrip line structure can transmit electromagnetic fields, the loss is relatively high. In order to achieve low loss, the substrate is often made of quartz glass, which means that the substrate cannot be too long and it is impossible to design torsional structures, otherwise the quartz will break. The existing microstrip line structure not only increases the connection loss inside the frequency multiplier, but also limits the design of the frequency multiplier circuit.
[0005] At the same time, if the losses in the frequency multiplier are high, these losses will be converted into thermal effects during operation. The accumulation of heat will affect the working state of the diode, reduce the performance of the diode, and thus deteriorate the frequency multiplication efficiency and output power of the frequency multiplier.

[0028] In order to illustrate the technical solution described in the present application, a specific embodiment is provided below, and only the parts related to the embodiment of the present application are shown.
[0029] The frequency multiplier is an active circuit that uses the nonlinear characteristics of a diode to achieve frequency multiplication, and is the core of a terahertz solid-state frequency source. Terahertz frequency multipliers often use a rectangular waveguide structure, and nonlinear devices are arranged on microstrip lines. Although the microstrip line structure in the terahertz band can transmit electromagnetic fields, the loss is relatively high, and in order to achieve low loss, quartz glass is often used as the substrate, which means that the substrate cannot be too long, and it is impossible to design a torsion structure, otherwise the quartz will break. Therefore, the connection loss inside the frequency multiplier is increased, and the design of the frequency multiplier circuit is also limited.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a terahertz frequency multiplier 1, which may include an inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11, a transition structure 12 of a micro-coaxial input waveguide, an input waveguide 13 for receiving an input signal, a micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14 for filtering the input signal, a diode pair 15 for frequency-multiplying and amplifying the filtered input signal to generate an output signal, a transition structure 16 of a micro-coaxial output waveguide, two micro-coaxial matching circuits and an output waveguide 17 for transmitting the output signal.
[0031] In some embodiments, the input signal and the output signal may be a local oscillator signal or a radio frequency signal. That is, the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 of the embodiment of the present application may be used to perform frequency multiplication and amplification processing on the local oscillator signal or the radio frequency signal.
[0032] In some embodiments, the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 can use a rectangular micro-coaxial line for signal transmission. Figure 2 As shown, the rectangular micro coaxial line may include an inner conductor, a dielectric support and an outer shielding cavity. Specifically, the inner conductor may be a closed structure, the inner conductor may be arranged inside the outer shielding cavity, a dielectric support is arranged between the inner conductor and the outer shielding cavity, and the signal may be transmitted through the inner conductor.
[0033] In some embodiments, the transmission mode of the rectangular micro-coaxial line is the TEM mode. Therefore, the use of the rectangular micro-coaxial line for transmission has the advantages of low dispersion and low loss, and can enable the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 to operate at a wider operating frequency.
[0034] In summary, the traditional rectangular waveguide has high-pass characteristics. For a rectangular waveguide of fixed size, it can only transmit electromagnetic waves of a fixed frequency band and cannot transmit broadband. At the same time, because the inner conductor of the rectangular micro-coaxial line is closed and has high isolation, even if two rectangular micro-coaxial lines are very close to each other, their mutual interference is extremely small, so they can be wired very close to each other. By adjusting the size of the inner conductor, it is easy to change the impedance. In addition, the performance of the rectangular micro-coaxial line is not affected by bending and cross-coupling, which facilitates the construction of complex circuits and devices, thereby achieving a high degree of integration of the circuit system.
[0035] In some embodiments, the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 may be a 220 GHz frequency tripler. For example, when the input signal received by the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 is f0, the output signal delivered by the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 may be 3f0.
[0036] In some embodiments, the first end of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 can be directly connected to an external DC bias circuit through the inner conductor of the micro-coaxial, and the second end of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 can be coaxially connected to the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide. The inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 can be used to introduce the bias voltage of the external DC bias circuit to reduce distortion.
[0037] In some embodiments, the external DC bias circuit can be directly led out from the inner conductor through the SMA coaxial line to the inner conductor of the direct connection structure 11 to feed the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 with DC power. Since the DC bias can be directly loaded through the inner conductor, the volume can be reduced by 50% compared with the traditional frequency multiplier. The SMA (SubMiniatureversion A) coaxial line is a radio frequency coaxial cable connector.
[0038] In the conventional frequency multiplier structure based on microstrip lines, since the substrate is often made of quartz substrate or other materials, the inner conductor of the coaxial connector cannot be directly connected to it, and an additional 5880 soft substrate transition needs to be set, which increases the volume of the circuit, the connection loss and the difficulty of overall processing. The inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 of the embodiment of the present application can be formed by directly extending the rectangular micro-coaxial line, so the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of simple structure, convenient connection, low loss, small volume, etc.
[0039] In some embodiments, the inner conductor of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 can extend from one end to the other end of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11. In other words, the inner conductor of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 can be directly connected to the inner conductor of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 through both ends.
[0040] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first end of the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide can be coaxially connected to the second end of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11, the second end of the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide can be connected to the input waveguide 13, and the third end of the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide can be coaxially connected to the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14. The inner conductor of the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide can be directly connected to the inner conductor of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11, and the inner conductor of the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide can be directly connected to the inner conductor of the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14.
[0041] In some embodiments, the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide may include an input probe 120, which may be formed by extending the inner conductor of the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide to the inside of the input waveguide 13, and is used for impedance matching between the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide and the input waveguide 13. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the transition structure 12 of the micro-coaxial input waveguide transitions to the input waveguide 13, it is only necessary to extend the inner conductor outward, so the structure is simple and the circuit size is small.
[0042] In some embodiments, the input probe 120 may be a T-shaped structure.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first end of the input waveguide 13 can be used to receive an input signal, and the second end of the input waveguide 13 can be connected to the input probe 120; the first end of the input probe 120 can be coaxially connected to the second end of the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11, the second end of the input probe 120 can be connected to the second end of the input waveguide 13, and the third end of the input probe 120 can be coaxially connected to the first end of the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14.
[0044] In some embodiments, the inner conductor of the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14 may include a plurality of rectangular branches. Specifically, the inner conductor of the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the inner conductor to form a plurality of rectangular branches. Thus, the impedance can be changed, thereby achieving the performance of the resonant cavity and satisfying the filtering effect.
[0045] Compared with a microstrip line filter, the structure of the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14 can reduce the lateral length of the circuit and the overall size can be reduced by 20%.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first end of the diode pair 15 can be coaxially connected to the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14 through a micro-coaxial matching circuit, and the second end of the diode pair 15 can be coaxially connected to the first end of the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide through another micro-coaxial matching circuit, wherein the second end of the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide is connected to the output waveguide 17. The inner conductor of one micro-coaxial matching circuit can be directly connected to the inner conductor of the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14, and the other micro-coaxial matching circuit can be directly connected to the inner conductor of the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide.
[0047] In some embodiments, the diode pair 15 can be directly connected to the inner conductor of the micro-coaxial matching circuit at both ends of the diode pair 15. In this case, multiple coaxial to microstrip line transitions can be omitted, making the circuit structure of the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 more compact; the heat dissipation area of the diode pair 15 can be increased, reducing the impact of heat accumulation on the performance of the terahertz frequency multiplier 1.
[0048] The traditional frequency multiplier diode integration method is mainly based on the flip-chip process, that is, the diode chip is separate and is bonded to the circuit substrate by artificial assembly using conductive adhesive and other materials. Therefore, in the traditional frequency multiplier, only a small part of the diode is connected to the external cavity. Since the external cavity is metal, the heat dissipation of the diode mainly depends on the heat conduction with the external cavity. Due to the small connection area with the metal, heat dissipation is difficult, and heat accumulation will further deteriorate the performance of the frequency multiplier.
[0049] In some embodiments, the diode pair 15 may be Schottky diodes connected in parallel in phase.
[0050] In some embodiments, the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 may include a micro-coaxial arched matching structure 18 for dissipating heat from the diode pair 15; the first end of the micro-coaxial arched matching structure 18 may be coaxially connected to the diode pair 15, and the micro-coaxial arched matching structure 18 may be coaxially connected to the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide.
[0051] In some embodiments, the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide may include an output probe 160, which may be formed by extending the inner conductor of the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide toward the inside of the output waveguide 17, for impedance matching between the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide and the output waveguide 17.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first end of the output probe 160 can be coaxially connected to the diode pair 15 through a micro-coaxial arch matching structure 18; the first end of the output waveguide 17 can be connected to the second end of the output probe 160, and the second end of the output waveguide 17 can be used to transmit the output signal.
[0053] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the transition structure 16 of the micro-coaxial output waveguide transitions to the output waveguide 17, it is only necessary to extend the inner conductor outward, so the structure is simple and the circuit size is small.
[0054] In some embodiments, the input waveguide 13 and the output waveguide 17 may be rectangular waveguides.
[0055] In the present application, the input signal is fed into the input waveguide 13, transitioned through the input probe 120, the waveguide TE10 mode is converted into a quasi-TEM mode for transmission, and transmitted to the diode pair 15 through the micro-coaxial input low-pass filter 14 for frequency doubling amplification.
[0056] In the present application, two micro-coaxial matching circuits of the diode pair 15 of the terahertz frequency multiplier 1 and the input low-pass filter 14 of the micro-coaxial are designed through a micro-coaxial structure, so that no substrate structure can be used in the circuit, thereby reducing the loss introduced by the substrate. At the same time, due to the use of the input low-pass filter 14 of the micro-coaxial, the size of the entire circuit is also reduced, and miniaturization is achieved. In addition, since the inner conductor lead-out direct connection structure 11 adopts a micro-coaxial structure, the DC bias circuit can be directly fed with DC from the inner conductor through the SMA coaxial line, thereby eliminating the traditional DC filter circuit, which reduces the complexity of the circuit on the one hand, and avoids the complex transformation of the traditional mixer quartz substrate-5880 soft substrate-coaxial line on the other hand, further reducing the circuit loss.
[0057] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. In addition, under the guidance of the present application, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of the present application belong to the protection scope of the present application.
