[0041] Example 1
[0042] This embodiment uses a coupled crosstalk transmission line unit. For lossy units, the group delay value is determined by the energy storage capacity of the circuit. In the case of external coupling, the internal quality factor of the resonant unit can be expressed as:
[0043] ,
[0044] in, This refers to the internal quality factor of the resonant unit. The internal resistance of the resonant unit. The internal capacitance of the resonant unit. This refers to the internal inductance of the resonant unit.
[0045] According to the definition of quality factor, the formula for calculating the external quality factor of a circuit is:
[0046] ,
[0047] in, This refers to the external quality factor of the resonant unit. The admittance of the signal source. Representing the resonant unit of the dispersive circuit, substituting the above two equations into the definition of group delay, the group delay calculation formula for the circuit can be expressed as:
[0048] ,
[0049] in, The group delay center frequency is denoted by . Therefore, for the circuit described above, the sign of the group delay is ultimately determined by . and The ratio is determined. When At that point, a critical point occurs. When the denominator on the right side of the above group delay calculation formula is greater than zero, it results in a positive group delay response, while when At that time, a negative group delay response will be obtained.
[0050] The above general analysis of the quality factor of the dispersive element yields the method for determining the sign of the group delay. Specifically, for dispersive circuits with different resonant structures, this can be achieved by adjusting the resonator structure, dielectric material, coupling coefficient, etc. and The purpose of the ratio is to obtain the dispersive circuit with the corresponding group delay response.
[0051] This embodiment provides a three-frequency large group delay difference dispersion circuit, which is composed of three structurally similar group delay dispersion circuits connected together. It includes a first, second, and third group delay dispersion unit cascaded sequentially. The first group delay dispersion unit is a negative group delay dispersion unit, while the second and third group delay dispersion units are both positive group delay dispersion units. The negative and positive group delays are represented by whether or not a reconfigurable microstrip line is added to each group delay dispersion unit.
