[0042] Brief description of the working principle of this utility model:

[0043] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution: a 10MHz-110GHz ultra-wideband duplexer is designed. To achieve ultra-wideband frequency selectivity, a wideband high-pass filter 7 is first designed based on a high-pass rectangular waveguide, followed by a wideband low-pass filter 5. Finally, the two filters are connected through the input terminal of a connection structure 11 for receiving wideband signals, thus realizing the wideband duplexer.

[0044] The low-pass filter 5 is based on high and low impedance characteristics, that is, high impedance lines and low impedance lines are connected in series. The substrate is made of 5880 material with a thickness of 127um and adopts a suspended microstrip structure. Metal microstrip circuits can be designed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the suspended microstrip to obtain lower losses.

[0045] The high-pass filter 7 is based on the low-frequency cutoff characteristic of the high-pass rectangular waveguide. The high-pass filter is achieved by changing the cutoff frequency of the high-pass rectangular waveguide by changing the width of the high-pass rectangular waveguide.

[0046] Meanwhile, the high-pass filter 7 also includes a suspension microstrip-high-pass rectangular waveguide transition structure (i.e., the mounting point of the connection structure 11 within the high-pass filter 7), through which the energy on the microstrip line can be effectively coupled to the waveguide for transmission.

[0047] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0048] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
