Most existing high-power switches operate in the 8-18GHz frequency band, with a peak power of 200W and a duty cycle of 10%, making it difficult to balance bandwidth and power performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a broadband high-power switch.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A broadband high-power switch includes a signal input channel, a first signal output channel, and a second signal output channel disposed on an RF printed circuit board. The signal input channel is connected to the first signal output channel and the second signal output channel respectively via a Y-connector.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a broadband high-power switch, including a signal input channel, a first signal output channel, and a second signal output channel disposed on an RF printed circuit board. The signal input channel is connected to the first and second signal output channels respectively via Y-connectors. The first and second signal output channels are symmetrically arranged, each including multiple microstrip lines, and equipped with two diodes and two DC blocking capacitors. The first signal output channel receives voltage through VG1, and the second signal output channel receives voltage through VG2. The signal in the signal input channel sequentially passes through input port J0, microstrip line MLNI1, microstrip line MLNI2, and microstrip line MLNI3. In the first signal output channel, the signal sequentially passes through microstrip line MLNI4, DC blocking capacitor, microstrip line MLNI5, microstrip line MLNI6, microstrip line MLNI7, DC blocking capacitor, microstrip line MLNI8, microstrip line MLNI9, microstrip line MLNI10 and output port J1; VG1 is located between microstrip line MLNI6 and microstrip line MLNI7, and the positive terminal of the diode is connected between microstrip line MLNI5 and microstrip line MLNI6; the positive terminal of the diode is also connected between microstrip line MLNI6 and microstrip line MLNI7. In the second signal output channel, the signal sequentially passes through microstrip line MLNI4, a DC blocking capacitor, microstrip line MLNI5, microstrip line MLNI6, microstrip line MLNI7, a DC blocking capacitor, microstrip line MLNI8, microstrip line MLNI9, microstrip line MLNI10, and output port J2. VG2 is positioned between microstrip lines MLNI6 and MLNI7. The anode of a diode is connected between microstrip lines MLNI5 and MLNI6. The cathode of the diode is grounded between microstrip lines MLNI6 and MLNI7. The RF printed circuit board thickness is 0.254 mm. The signal enters from input terminal J0. By applying a negative voltage to VG1 and a positive voltage to VG2, signal conduction from port J0 to port J1 is achieved. Conversely, applying a positive voltage to VG1 and a negative voltage to VG2 achieves signal conduction from port J0 to port J2. This allows for switching between the on / off states of different ports.

[0018] In this embodiment, microstrip lines MLNI1 and MLNI10 are fixed at 50Ω impedance, while MLNI2, MLNI3, MLNI4, MLNI5, MLNI6, MLNI7, MLNI8, and MLNI9 serve as impedance transformation microstrip lines, configured according to bandwidth and power requirements. To increase the switching bandwidth, only impedance transformation of the RF striplines is needed; an appropriate number of transformation stages can increase the switching bandwidth range (i.e., by adjusting the width and length of microstrip lines MLNI2, MLNI3, MLNI4, MLNI5, MLNI6, MLNI7, MLNI8, and MLNI9).

[0019] In this embodiment, the specific length W and width L of the microstrip line are set as follows:

[0020] MLNI1: W1 = 0.76, L1 = 5;

[0021] MLNI2: W2=1.3, L2=1.75;

[0022] MLNI3: W3=0.6, L3=1.05;

[0023] MLNI4: W4=1.3, L4=1.2;

[0024] MLNI5: W5=1.2, L5=1.06;

[0025] MLNI6: W6=0.56, L6=0.95;

[0026] MLNI7: W7 = 0.9, L7 = 7;

[0027] MLNI8: W8=0.85, L8=2.73;

[0028] MLNI9: W9=0.64, L9=1.78;

[0029] MLNI10: W10=0.76, L10=5;

[0030] The simulated S-curve obtained through AWR simulation is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
