Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of filtering technology, and more specifically, it relates to a high-performance radio frequency bandpass filter circuit with simple and reliable circuit design, low cost, strong noise reduction capability, and strong anti-interference capability. Background Technology

[0002] Cables are a critical component of power transmission. Flashover can lead to short circuits and other faults, posing significant safety hazards. Flashover frequencies range from 100MHz to 1.5GHz. By monitoring cable flashovers, potential problems can be detected promptly, allowing for appropriate maintenance measures to prevent faults and ensure the stable operation of the power system.

[0003] Chinese patent CN102064787B, with authorization announcement date May 21, 2014, and invention titled "A Radio Frequency Bandpass Filtering Circuit," discloses a radio frequency bandpass filtering circuit that mainly includes: a first resonant module for receiving radio frequency signals and suppressing radio frequency signals at a preset first resonant frequency; frequency selection for radio frequency signals at a preset second resonant frequency and suppressing other radio frequency signals besides the preset second resonant frequency; and a second resonant unit for receiving the radio frequency signals output by the first resonant module and suppressing radio frequency signals at a preset third resonant frequency. The first resonant module includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, a first inductor, and a first varactor diode. The first terminal of the first capacitor is connected to the input terminal and grounded through the second capacitor; the second terminal of the first capacitor is grounded through the first inductor; the cathode of the first varactor diode is connected to the first terminal of the first capacitor, and the anode is connected to the second terminal of the first capacitor. Alternatively, the first resonant module includes a first resonant unit and a frequency selection circuit unit. The first resonant unit receives radio frequency (RF) signals and suppresses RF signals at a preset first resonant frequency. The frequency selection circuit unit selects the RF signal at a second resonant frequency from the RF signals output by the first resonant unit and suppresses other RF signals besides the preset second resonant frequency. The second resonant unit includes a third inductor, a fifth capacitor, a third varactor diode, and a sixth capacitor. The first terminal of the third inductor is connected to the input terminal, and the second terminal is connected to the output terminal. The fifth capacitor, the third varactor diode, and the sixth capacitor, connected in series, are connected in parallel with the third inductor. The anode of the third varactor diode is grounded through a first resistor. With this scheme, the traditional RF bandpass filter circuit achieves suppression of RF signals at the zero point, thereby effectively suppressing spurious signals on the left and right sides of the near end of the RF signal.

[0004] However, traditional RF bandpass filter circuits are relatively complex to design, have many types of components, and have relatively high procurement costs, resulting in high overall production costs. In addition, since the failure of any component will cause the entire filter circuit to malfunction, too many components will reduce the reliability of the entire circuit. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, a radio frequency bandpass filter circuit includes a high-frequency signal acquisition unit 1 for electrical connection with an ultra-high frequency sensor. The radio frequency pickup chip U2 of the high-frequency signal acquisition unit 1 converts the high-frequency electromagnetic wave signal into a voltage signal and inputs this converted signal to an amplifier circuit unit 2 for amplification. The output terminal of the amplifier circuit unit 2 is electrically connected to a first-stage filter via a high-speed switching diode VD1. The first-stage filter includes a resistor R14 and a capacitor C8 connected in parallel. The first-stage filter is used to filter out electrical signals with frequencies less than f1. The electrical signal processed by the first-stage filter is then electrically connected to the input terminal of a low-pass filter via an impedance matching resistor R8. The output terminal of the low-pass filter outputs a bandpass signal to the MCU main control chip 3 via an impedance matching resistor R9 and a diode VD2. The cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter is f2, and the low-pass filter includes a capacitor C5 and a resistor R11 connected in parallel. Specifically, the output of amplifier circuit unit 2 is electrically connected to the anode of high-speed switching diode VD1 to prevent signal reverse transmission. The cathode of high-speed switching diode VD1 is electrically connected to one end of resistor R14 and capacitor C8, and then to one end of impedance matching resistor R8. The other ends of resistor R14 and capacitor C8 are both electrically connected to ground AGND. The other end of impedance matching resistor R8 is electrically connected to the input of low-pass filter. The output of low-pass filter is electrically connected to the anode of diode VD2 via impedance matching resistor R9. The cathode of diode VD2 transmits the signal to MCU main control chip 3. Diode VD2 acts as a unidirectional conductor, preventing signal return. The first-stage filter composed of resistor R14 and capacitor C8 filters out signals with frequencies below f1, meaning signals with frequencies below f1 are suppressed and cannot pass through. The cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter composed of capacitor C5 and resistor R11 is f2, meaning signals with frequencies above f2 cannot pass through the low-pass filter. Therefore, this embodiment allows electrical signals with frequencies between f1 and f2 to pass through. The circuit between the high-speed switching diode VD1 and diode VD2 in this embodiment forms a bandpass filter, fixing the frequency range between f1 and f2.

[0025] The circuit design in this embodiment is simple and reasonable, and can accurately and effectively filter the frequency band of flashover signal. The circuit has strong noise reduction capability and strong anti-interference capability. It uses few types and quantities of components, resulting in low production cost, high cost performance, low failure rate, and high reliability. It has strong market competitiveness and can be widely used in technical fields that require filtering specific signal frequency bands.

[0028] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a three-stage filter is electrically connected between diode VD2 and the MCU main control chip 3. The three-stage filter specifically includes a resistor R12 and a capacitor C7 connected in parallel; the cathode of diode VD2 is electrically connected to one end of resistor R12, one end of capacitor C7, and the MCU main control chip 3 via impedance matching resistor R10; the other ends of resistor R12 and capacitor C7 are both electrically connected to the ground terminal AGND. The three-stage filter further reduces noise in the output signal, making the bandpass signal transmitted to the MCU main control chip 3 more accurate, and further improving the circuit's anti-interference and noise reduction performance. In this embodiment, the value of f1 is 100MHz and the value of f2 is 1500MHz. This embodiment can accurately filter the cable flashover signal frequency band and can be widely used in the field of cable partial discharge safety monitoring technology.

The negative terminal of electrolytic capacitor E3 and the other end of filter capacitor C10 are both electrically connected to ground terminal AGND. Pins 5 and 6 of RF pickup chip U2 are both electrically connected to ground terminal AGND. Pin 7 of RF pickup chip U2 is electrically connected to the input terminal of amplifier circuit unit 2 through feedback resistor R13 and impedance matching resistor R5. Pin 8 of RF pickup chip U2 is electrically connected between feedback resistor R13 and impedance matching resistor R5. Radio frequency (RF) coupling capacitors C6 and C9 couple the high-frequency signal sensed by the UHF sensor to the input of the RF pickup chip U2, blocking the DC signal. Resistor R16 acts as a noise reduction resistor and also provides impedance matching, reducing input noise and signal loss. Resistor R15 is a symmetrical resistor with a resistance of 0 ohms, providing a reference level for the negative terminal of the high-frequency signal. Resistors R2 and R17 further filter the power supply entering the RF pickup chip U2. Electrolytic capacitors E2, C4, E3, and C10 further stabilize the voltage, ensuring a stable and clean DC voltage for the RF pickup chip U2. The output of the RF pickup chip U2 is connected to impedance matching resistor R5 and feedback resistor R13, with feedback resistor R13 connected to pin 7 of the RF pickup chip U2 as the feedback signal. Thus, the high-frequency signal is converted into a relevant voltage signal, resulting in a stable and clean signal.

[0032] In this embodiment, amplifier circuit unit 2 specifically includes amplifier U1, which is model AD8008. Pin 3 of amplifier U1 is electrically connected to the output terminal of high-frequency signal acquisition unit 1, that is, pin 3 of amplifier U1 is electrically connected to the other end of impedance matching resistor R5. Pin 4 of amplifier U1 is electrically connected to ground terminal AGND. Pin 2 of amplifier U1 is electrically connected between proportional resistors R3 and R4. The other end of proportional resistor R3 is electrically connected to ground terminal AGND; the other end of proportional resistor R4 is electrically connected to ground terminal AGND via filter capacitor C1 and to pin 6 of amplifier U1; pin 6 of amplifier U1 is electrically connected to high-speed switching diode VD1 via impedance matching resistors R6 and R7; pin 7 of amplifier U1 is electrically connected to ground terminal AGND via capacitor C3, capacitor C2, electrolytic capacitor E1, and also via resistor R1 to the power supply terminal VCC-A5V. Amplifier U1 is powered by a single-ended power supply, and the amplification ratio is determined by proportional resistors R3 and R4. Pin 2 of amplifier U1 is the negative input terminal, and pin 3 is the positive input terminal. The impedance of amplifier U1 is adjusted by impedance matching resistors R6 and R7.
