Their core consists of periodically arranged EBG (electromagnetic band gap) structural units. When placed parallel to an ideal conductor, they form a contactless electromagnetic shielding structure. This structure stands out for its wide electromagnetic bandgap, low loss, and self-encapsulation. Based on their structure, they can be categorized into ridge-gap waveguides, slot-gap waveguides, and suspended microstrip line-gap waveguides.

[0031] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present application discloses a broadband vertically coupled filter, including a first metal ground plate G1 and a second metal ground plate G2 arranged horizontally, wherein a first resonator layer 10, a second resonator layer 11 and a third resonator layer 12 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom between the first metal ground plate G1 and the second metal ground plate G2, and the second resonator layer 11 is connected to the first resonator layer 10 and the third resonator layer 12 respectively, and the first resonator layer 10, the second resonator layer 11 and the third resonator layer 12 are located in the quasi-closed resonant cavity 3 to realize vertical electrical and energy coupling between the first resonator layer 10, the second resonator layer 11 and the third resonator layer 12, thereby generating more resonance points to realize a wider bandwidth filter design, and generating more transmission zeros to expand the stopband range.
[0033] Metal patches 2 are periodically and vertically arranged on the first resonator layer 10, and a number of metal columns 1 corresponding to the metal patches 2 are periodically and vertically arranged on the upper surface of the second metal ground plate G2. Each corresponding metal column 1 is connected to the metal patch 2 to form a mushroom-shaped EGB unit structure.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, several EBG units are disposed between the second metal ground plane G2 and the first resonator layer 10. These periodically arranged EBG units together form a quasi-sealed resonant cavity 3, effectively suppressing the rapid attenuation of energy caused by outward electromagnetic field radiation. Furthermore, to achieve broadband filtering in the millimeter-wave band, the electromagnetic bandgap can be controlled by adjusting the lateral width W and longitudinal length L of the quasi-sealed resonant cavity 3. The electromagnetic shielding effect created by the two rows of mushroom-shaped EBG units surrounding the quasi-sealed resonant cavity 3 efficiently confines energy within the quasi-sealed resonant cavity 3, significantly improving the unloaded quality factor Qe.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the microstrip line 5 adopts a multi-section stepped impedance microstrip line, including a high impedance section 51 arranged in a trapezoidal shape, an intermediate impedance section 52 arranged in a rectangular shape, and a low impedance section 53 arranged in a trapezoidal shape. The high impedance section 51 and the intermediate impedance section 52 arranged in a rectangular shape are connected to each other, and the intermediate impedance section 52 and the low impedance section 53 arranged in a trapezoidal shape are connected to each other. The microstrip line 5 is connected to the first resonator 4 through the low impedance section 53. This structure is based on microstrip-gap waveguide conversion to achieve a smooth transition between the microstrip line 5 and the quasi-sealed resonant cavity 3. A window 521 is provided on the intermediate impedance section 52 to further optimize the electromagnetic coupling characteristics.
[0037] like Figure 6As shown, each first resonator 4 is a quarter-wavelength asymmetric hairpin resonator. The wavelength refers to the operating wavelength of the first resonator 4. The first resonator 4 includes a first short arm and a first long arm to achieve a differentiated coupling function. The first short arm and the first long arm of the same first resonator 4 are parallel to each other, and one end of the first short arm is connected to one end of the first long arm. The first long arms of two symmetrical first resonators 4 are adjacent and spaced apart. The first short arm of each first resonator 4 is respectively connected to a corresponding microstrip line 5.
[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, a pair of symmetrically arranged second resonators 6 are provided in the second resonator layer 11. The second resonator 6 is a quarter-wavelength asymmetric hairpin resonator. The second resonator 6 includes a second short arm and a second long arm. The second short arm and the second long arm of the same second resonator 6 are parallel to each other, and one end of the second short arm is connected to one end of the second long arm. The second short arms of the two second resonators 6 are adjacent and spaced apart. Lateral coupling resonance is formed between the second short arms of the two symmetrically arranged second resonators 6 to achieve multipath transmission of the signal. The wavelength here refers to the operating wavelength of the second resonator 6.
[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, a third resonator 7 is arranged in the third resonator layer 12. The third resonator layer 12 is a half-wavelength resonator with folded step impedance. The third resonator 7 includes two third short arms located in the middle and two third long arms located on both sides. One end of the two parallel third short arms is respectively connected to the adjacent third long arms and the two adjacent third short arms are connected. The two third long arms and the two third short arms are arranged in parallel. The wavelength here refers to the operating wavelength of the third resonator 7.
[0040] In order to realize the electrical connection and signal coupling between the first resonator layer 10, the second resonator layer 11 and the third resonator layer 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first resonator layer 10, a first square patch resonator RL1 is adjacently arranged at the end of each of the first short arms, and the first square patch resonator RL1 is connected to the second long arm of the second resonator 6 through a first metal connecting column 91. A second square patch resonator RL3 is adjacently arranged at each third long arm of the third resonator 7, and the second square patch resonator RL3 is connected to the second long arm of the second resonator 6 through a second metal connecting column 92.
[0041] Through the above arrangement, in the first resonator layer 10, the two symmetrical first resonators 4 are laterally weakly coupled to resonate, and at the same time, the two symmetrical first resonators 4 and the first square patch resonator RL1 are laterally coupled to resonate. The first square patch resonator RL1 is vertically coupled with the second resonator 6 through the first metal connecting column 91, and the electromagnetic energy in the first resonator layer 10 is transferred to the second resonator layer 11. In the second resonator layer 11, a lateral coupling resonance is formed between the two symmetrically arranged second resonators 6. At the same time, the second resonator 6 and the second square patch resonator RL3 are laterally coupled to resonate. The second square patch resonator RL3 is vertically coupled with the third resonator 7 through the second metal connecting column 92, and the electromagnetic energy in the second resonator layer 11 is transferred to the third resonator layer 12. The filter structure meets the high selectivity and miniaturization requirements of the millimeter wave filter through three-dimensional spatial layout and multi-form coupling design.
[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the short side length of the high impedance section in the microstrip line is The width of the middle impedance segment, that is, the length of the long side of the high impedance segment, is , the long side length of the low impedance segment is , the length of the first long arm of the first resonator is , the width of the first resonator is , the length of the first short arm of the first resonator is , the gap width between the two first resonators is .
[0043] like Figure 7 As shown, the critical dimensions involved in the second resonator are 、 、 、 、 、 and the gap width between the two second resonators .
[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, the critical dimensions involved in the third resonator are 、 、 、 、 、 and the gap width between the two third short arms of the third resonator .
[0045] For each of the above dimensions, the values can be shown in Table 1:
[0046] Table 1
[0047] By simulating the broadband vertically coupled filter designed with the above dimensions, we can get the following: Figure 9 The simulation results are shown in Figure 2. The simulation results show that its passband range covers 31.95GHz-39.1GHz, with a center frequency of 35.53GHz, a -3dB bandwidth of 7.15GHz, and a corresponding fractional bandwidth of 20.1%, achieving wideband signal transmission capabilities. At the same time, the filter has extremely low insertion loss, with a minimum passband insertion loss of only 0.15dB. Within the 32.78GHz to 38.28GHz frequency band, the maximum insertion loss is controlled within 0.18dB, effectively ensuring efficient and low-loss signal transmission within the passband.
[0048] The filter exhibits excellent selectivity on both sides of the band. Figure 9 The S21 parameter decreases at a rate of 27.6 dB / GHz on the left side of the mid-band and 26.3 dB / GHz on the right side. This result reflects the filter's ability to quickly suppress out-of-band signals at the passband boundary, forming a steep transition band characteristic.
[0049] In terms of stopband performance, the filter exhibits excellent wide-stopband rejection. At 31 GHz, it achieves a stopband rejection of 38.76 dB; across the 5-25.2 GHz and 45.4-70 GHz widebands, the rejection exceeds 25 dB. These performance indicators demonstrate that this broadband vertically coupled filter achieves high levels of passband transmission efficiency and stopband rejection.
[0050] The broadband vertical coupling filter provided in the embodiment of the present application innovatively introduces two weak coupling paths on the basis of traditional vertical coupling through the design of the first resonator layer, the second resonator layer and the third resonator layer, constructs a multi-dimensional coupling network, reduces the volume of the horizontal space, and has a compact overall size, which is easy to process and manufacture. At the same time, the broadband vertical coupling filter has a high degree of compatibility and can easily be integrated with other microwave and millimeter wave circuit systems. In addition, a quasi-sealed resonant cavity is constructed through a periodically distributed EBG unit structure. Combined with the design of a multi-section stepped impedance microstrip line, it can effectively reduce electromagnetic leakage and significantly improve the unloaded quality factor Qe. The resonance point can be determined by the length and width of the rectangular quasi-sealed resonant cavity, the design of each dimension on each resonator, and the dimensional parameters of the multi-section stepped impedance microstrip line.
