Microstrip band-pass power divider
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a microstrip power divider with band-pass frequency response.
Background
In higher frequency bands such as radio frequency/microwave/optical frequency and the like, the microstrip line has the advantages of small volume, light weight, wide use frequency band, high reliability, low manufacturing cost and the like, and is a transmission line with wide application. The microstrip line has a distributed parameter effect, and the electrical characteristics of the microstrip line are closely related to the structural size. The power divider is called a power divider, and is an important device in a communication or radar system. The device divides one path of input signal energy into two paths or multiple paths of input signal energy which are output with equal or unequal energy, and can also synthesize the multiple paths of signal energy into one path of output in turn, and at the moment, the device can also be called a combiner. Since the power divider can be used in reverse as a combiner, the following discussion takes the power divider as an example. Certain isolation degree should be guaranteed between output ports of one power divider. In addition, the filter is another microwave device, and functions to allow signals of a certain frequency to pass through smoothly, and allow signals of another frequency to be greatly suppressed. Conventional filters and power splitters are two separate components that assume different functions.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the defect that the traditional power divider and a filter belong to two elements and have larger sizes, the invention provides a novel micro-strip power divider which can simultaneously realize the functions of band-pass filtering and power division and has the advantages of good frequency selectivity, good isolation, small size, easy design and the like. Hereinafter referred to as microstrip bandpass power divider.
The structure of a typical microstrip is shown in fig. 1 and mainly comprises three layers. The first layer is a metal upper cladding layer, the second layer is a dielectric substrate, and the third layer is a metal lower cladding layer. The microstrip band-pass power divider disclosed by the invention is shown in figure 2, and is arranged in a metal upper cladding (I), and is characterized in that: a first Port (Port #1) is connected to the left end of the middle section of the parallel coupled three-wire structure (1); the right end of a lateral line section on the parallel coupling three-line structure (1) is connected to a first terminal open-circuit branch section (21) and is simultaneously connected to a first transmission line section (22) of a middle loading short-circuit branch section; a first transmission line section (22) of the middle loading short-circuit branch section is connected to a second terminal open-circuit branch section (23) and is simultaneously connected to the right side of a first parallel coupling two-wire structure (24); the left side of the first parallel-coupled two-wire structure (24) is connected to a second Port (Port # 2); the right end of the lower side wire section of the parallel coupling three-wire structure (1) is connected to a third terminal open-circuit branch section (31) and is simultaneously connected to a second transmission wire section (32) of the middle loading short-circuit branch section; a second transmission line section (32) of the middle loading short-circuit branch section is connected to a fourth terminal open-circuit branch section (33) and is simultaneously connected to the right side of a second parallel coupling two-wire structure (34); the left side of the second parallel-coupled two-wire structure (34) is connected to a third Port (Port # 3); the first resistor (R1) is bridged at the outer side wire joint at the left end of the parallel coupling three-wire structure (1), and the second resistor (R2) is welded between the first transmission line joint (22) of the middle loading short-circuit branch joint and the second transmission line joint (32) of the middle loading short-circuit branch joint; the short circuit is realized by a metallized via.
Furthermore, the microstrip bandpass power divider can realize a fourth-order bandpass frequency response, has a transmission zero at the limited frequency on the right side of the passband, and can improve the frequency selectivity on the right side of the passband.
The microstrip band-pass power divider has the beneficial effects that: one path of input signals can be divided into two paths to be output, and on the contrary, the two paths of input signals can be combined into one path to be output; the power divider has band-pass frequency response, and the right side of the pass band is provided with a transmission zero point, so that the frequency selectivity is greatly improved; the isolation between the output ports is high; the size is less, the design process is simple, and the debugging is easy.
