Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Symmetrierübertrager (Balun) zum Übertragen großer Hochfrequenzleistung, beispielsweise am symmetrischen Ausgang eines Transistor-Leistungsverstärkers zum Übergang auf eine unsymmetrische Ausgangsleitung.The invention relates to a balun (balun) for transmitting large high frequency power, for example at the symmetrical output of a transistor power amplifier to the transition to an asymmetrical Output line.

Symmetrierübertrager für höhere Leistung werden bisher stets in koaxialer Leitungstechnik aufgebaut. Dies ergibt relativ großvolumige Anordnungen, die relativ teuer in Handarbeit hergestellt und als gesonderte Bauelemente mit der übrigen Schaltung verbunden werden müssen. Es ist auch schon bekannt, Symmetrierübertrager in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik herzustellen und dabei die Leiterschleifen des Übertragers entweder nur auf der Oberseite der Leiterplatte (britische Patentschrift GB 2 084 809) oder auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Leiterplatte (US Patent US 4,193,048) auszubilden. Letztere in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik ausgebildete Symmetrierübertrager sind jedoch nur zur Übertragung von geringer Hochfrequenzleistung geeignet. Aus US-A-6 144 276 ist ein Übertrager mit spezieller Vorrichtung zur besseren Wärmeableitung bekannt.So far, balancing transformers for higher performance are always constructed in coaxial line technology. This results in relative large volume arrangements that are relatively expensive to craft manufactured and as separate components with the rest Circuit must be connected. It's also beautiful known, balun in printed Manufacture circuit technology and thereby the conductor loops of the transmitter either only on top of the Printed circuit board (British Patent GB 2 084 809) or on opposite sides of the circuit board (US patent US 4,193,048). The latter in printed Circuitry trained balun however only for the transmission of low radio frequency power suitable. From US-A-6 144 276 is a transmitter with a special device known for better heat dissipation.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Symmetrierübertrager für die Übertragung hoher Leistung zu schaffen, der einfach und preiswert in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik herstellbar ist, und ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung anzugeben.It is an object of the invention to provide a balun for to create the transfer of high power, the simple and is inexpensive to manufacture in printed circuit technology, and to provide a process for its manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem Symmetrierübertrager laut Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst. Die Aufgabe wird bezüglich des Herstellungsverfahrens durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 8 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. This task is based on a balun according to the preamble of claim 1 by its characterizing Features solved. The task is regarding the Manufacturing method by the features of claim 8 solved. Advantageous further developments result from the Dependent claims.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Symmetrierübertrager kann sehr einfach und preiswert in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik unmittelbar integriert mit der übrigen Hochfrequenzschaltung hergestellt werden. Durch das zusätzlich aufgelötete Metall-Blechteil wird die Wärmeleitfähigkeit der symmetrischen Leiterschleife so erhöht, daß die bei der Übertragung der Hochfrequenzleistung erzeugte Verlustwärme vollständig zu einem Kühlkörper ableitbar ist. Durch dieses zusätzliche Metall-Blechteil kann also gegenüber einem bekannten in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik ausgebildeten Symmetrierübertrager, bei dem die Leiterschleifen nur durch die dünne Leiterplattenschicht gebildet sind, das zwei- bis dreifache an Hochfrequenzleistung übertragen werden.A balun according to the invention can be very simple and inexpensive in printed circuit technology directly manufactured integrated with the rest of the high-frequency circuit become. Through the additional soldered metal sheet part becomes the thermal conductivity of the symmetrical conductor loop so increased that when transferring the High-frequency power completely generates heat loss a heat sink can be derived. Through this additional Metal sheet metal part can be compared to a known in printed circuit technology Balancing transformer, in which the conductor loops only through the thin circuit board layer are formed, the two to three times the high-frequency power can be transmitted.

Je nach übertragener Frequenz und damit Größe der Leiterschleifen kann ein erfindungsgemäßer Symmetrierübertrager trotz seines einfachen und preiswerten Aufbaus beispielsweise bis zu einer Übertragungsleistung von 150 Watt betrieben werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Prinzip kann bei allen üblichen in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik ausgebildeten Symmetrierübertragern angewendet werden, bei denen die unsymmetrische Leiterschleife entweder auf der gleichen oder auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Leiterplatte ausgebildet ist. In gleicher Weise ist das erfindungsgemäße Prinzip auch für Symmetrierübertrager geeignet, deren unsymmetrische Schleife als Doppelschleife ausgebildet ist und der damit als 4:1-Transformator wirkt.Depending on the transmitted frequency and thus the size of the A conductor loop can be an inventive Balancing transformer despite its simple and inexpensive Construction up to a transmission power of 150 watts can be operated. The principle according to the invention can with all usual in printed circuit technology trained balun be applied at which the unbalanced conductor loop either on the same or on the opposite side of the Printed circuit board is formed. In the same way it is Principle according to the invention also for balun suitable, the asymmetrical loop as a double loop is trained and thus acts as a 4: 1 transformer.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Symmetrierübertrager ist überall dort einsetzbar, wo zwischen Hochfrequenzschaltungen höhere Leistung übertragen werden muß. Dies ist beispielsweise bei Hochfrequenzsendern beim Zusammenführen oder Verteilen von Hochfrequenzleistung der Fall. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, einen erfindungsgemäßen Symmetrierübertrager am Ausgang von Gegentakt-Transistor-Leistungsverstärkern einzusetzen, da sich hierbei dann ein besonders gedrungener und einfacher Gesamtaufbau eines Leistungsverstärkers mit unsymmetrischem Ausgang ergibt. A balun according to the invention is everywhere there can be used where higher frequencies between high-frequency circuits Power must be transferred. This is for example at Radio frequency transmitters when merging or distributing High frequency power the case. Has been particularly advantageous it turned out to be an inventive Balancing transformer at the output of push-pull transistor power amplifiers to be used, because then particularly compact and simple overall structure of one Power amplifier with unbalanced output results.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand einer schematischen Zeichnung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert.The invention is described below using a schematic Drawing explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.

Die einzige Figur zeigt den Ausschnitt eines Gegentakt-Transistor-Leistungsverstärkers, der in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik auf einer bruchstückhaft dargestellten Leiterplatte 1 ausgebildet ist und dessen symmetrischer Ausgang mit einer gegen Masse M symmetrischen Leiterschleife 2 eines Symmetrierübertragers verbunden ist. Diese symmetrische Leiterschleife 2 besitzt die Form eines von gegenüberliegenden Seiten zusammengedrückten Kreisringes mit zwei gegenüberliegenden C-förmigen Schleifenhälften 3 und 4, die auf der einen Seite bei 5 einstückig ineinander übergehen und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite einen Schlitz 6 bilden. Die beiden gegenüberliegenden und den Schlitz 6 begrenzenden Enden 7 und 8 der C-förmigen Schleifenhälften 3 und 4 bilden den symmetrischen Eingang des Symmetrierübertragers, sie sind über Transformationskondensatoren 9 mit Leiterbahnen 10 und 11 elektrisch verbunden, mit denen die Anschlußfahnen des nicht dargestellten und in der rechteckigen Ausnehmung 12 eingesetzten Hochfrequenz-Leistungstransistors Kontakt machen.The only figure shows the section of a push-pull transistor power amplifier, the one in printed Circuit technology on a fragmentary representation Printed circuit board 1 is formed and its symmetrical Output with a conductor loop symmetrical to ground M. 2 of a balun is connected. This symmetrical conductor loop 2 has the shape of a opposite sides of the annulus two opposite C-shaped loop halves 3 and 4, the one on one side at 5 in one another pass over and a slot on the opposite side 6 form. The two opposite and the slot 6 delimiting ends 7 and 8 of the C-shaped loop halves 3 and 4 form the balanced input of the Balun, they're over Transformation capacitors 9 with conductor tracks 10 and 11 electrically connected, with which the terminal lugs of the shown and in the rectangular recess 12th used high-frequency power transistor contact do.

Die Eingangsschaltung für den nicht dargestellten Leistungstransistor, die vorzugsweise ebenfalls als Symmetrierübertrager ausgebildet ist, ist in der Fig. nicht dargestellt, ebenso nicht die übrigen Leiterbahnen für die Beschaltung der Transistoren. Der Verbindungspunkt 5 der beiden Schleifenhälften 3 und 4 gegenüber dem symmetrischen Eingang 7, 8 bildet den elektrisch kalten Massepunkt, er ist über eine Leiterbahn 13 mit der die Leiterschleife 2 umgebenden nur bruchstückhaft dargestellten Massefläche M verbunden. Sämtliche Leiterbahnen (M, 2, 10, 11, 13 usw. ) sind in bekannter gedruckter Schaltungstechnik auf der Oberseite der Leiterplatte 1 als dünne Metallschichten ausgebildet. Die unsymmetrische Ausgangsleiterschleife, die beispielsweise als Doppelschleife zur Widerstandstransformation ausgebildet ist, ist in dem gezeigtem Ausführungsbeispiel auf der Rückseite der Leiterplatte 1 unmittelbar gegenüber der Leiterschleife 2 ausgebildet und in der Figur daher nicht sichtbar. Die Leiterplatte 1 ist auf einem Kühlkörper 14 aufgesetzt, der unterhalb der Leiterschleife 2 bzw. der dieser gegenüberliegenden nicht sichtbaren unsymmetrischen Leiterschleife eine Ausfräsung 15 aufweist.The input circuit for the not shown Power transistor, which preferably also as Symmetry transformer is not shown in the figure shown, also not the other conductor tracks for the Wiring the transistors. The connection point 5 of the two loop halves 3 and 4 compared to the symmetrical Input 7, 8 forms the electrically cold ground point, it is via a conductor track 13 with which the conductor loop 2 surrounding ground area M shown only in fragments connected. All conductor tracks (M, 2, 10, 11, 13 etc.) are in known printed circuit technology on the Top of the circuit board 1 as thin metal layers educated. The unbalanced output conductor loop, the for example as a double loop Resistance transformation is formed in the Embodiment shown on the back of the PCB 1 directly opposite the conductor loop 2 trained and therefore not visible in the figure. The Printed circuit board 1 is placed on a heat sink 14, the below the conductor loop 2 or this opposite not visible asymmetrical Conductor loop has a cutout 15.

Auf der Oberseite der symmetrischen Leiterschleife 2 ist ein zusätzliches in gleicher Weise geformtes schleifenförmiges Kupferblechteil 20 aufgelötet. Dadurch wird die symmetrische Leiterschleife des Symmetrierübertragers dicker und besser wärmeleitend. Die bei der Übertragung von hoher Hochfrequenzleistung in der verdickten Leiterschleife 2, 20 entstehende Wärme, die teilweise auch von benachbarten Kondensatoren in die Schleife mit eingebracht wird, wird durch den verdickten Ring gleichmäßig verteilt und kann über eine Schraube 16, die in eine Montagebohrung 18 eines nach innen ragenden Vorsprungs 17 ausgebildet und in einer Gewindebohrung 19 im Kühlkörper 14 einschraubbar ist, zum Kühlkörper 14 abgeleitet und dort über das beispielsweise im Kühlkörper zirkulierende Kühlmittel abgebaut werden.On the top of the symmetrical conductor loop 2 is a additional loop-shaped in the same way Sheet copper part 20 soldered. This will make the symmetric Conductor loop of the balun thicker and better thermally conductive. Those in the transfer of high High-frequency power in the thickened conductor loop 2, 20 resulting heat, partly from neighboring Capacitors is inserted into the loop evenly distributed through the thickened ring and can over a screw 16 which in a mounting hole 18 one after protruding inside 17 formed and in a Threaded bore 19 can be screwed into the heat sink 14, for Heat sink 14 derived and there, for example in the Cooling elements circulating coolant are degraded.

An der Leiterschleife 2 ist ein entsprechender Vorsprung 21 mit einer entsprechenden Montagebohrung 22 vorgesehen, letztere ist durchkontaktiert und der auf der Rückseite der Leiterplatte 1 gebildete Durchkontaktierungsring dieser Bohrung 22 liegt im montierten Zustand flach auf der Oberseite des Kühlkörpers 14 auf, so daß der Wärmekontakt zwischen Leiterschleife und Kühlkörper noch verstärkt wird. Die verdickte Ausbildung der symmetrischen Leiterschleife 2, 20 auf der Oberseite der Leiterplatte 1 ermöglicht es, daß die Transformationskondensatoren 9, über welche die Hochfrequenzleistung vom Transistor (Anschlußbahnen 10, 11) zum symmetrischen Eingang 7, 8 des Übertragers geleitet werden, und ggf. ein weiterer im Spalt 6 angeordneter Kondensator 23 ebenfalls relativ großflächig mit dem Kupferring 20 verlötet werden können, so daß auch die Verlustwärme solcher Kondensatoren gut abgeleitet wird. A corresponding projection 21 is located on the conductor loop 2 provided with a corresponding mounting hole 22, the latter is plated through and the one on the back of the Printed circuit board 1 formed through this ring Bore 22 lies flat on the in the assembled state Top of the heat sink 14 so that the thermal contact between the conductor loop and the heat sink is reinforced. The thickened formation of the symmetrical conductor loop 2, 20 on the top of the circuit board 1 allows that the transformation capacitors 9, via which the High-frequency power from the transistor (connecting tracks 10, 11) passed to the symmetrical input 7, 8 of the transformer be, and possibly another arranged in the gap 6 Capacitor 23 also with a relatively large area Copper ring 20 can be soldered, so that the Waste heat of such capacitors is dissipated well.

Die Herstellung eines solchen Symmetrierübertragers ist sehr einfach und preiswert, da das zusätzliche Kupferblechteil 20 wie ein übliches Bauteil in automatischer SMD (Surface Mounted Devices)-Bestückungstechnik zusammen mit den anderen Bauelementen der Transistorschaltung auf die vorbereitete gedruckte Leiterplatte aufgelötet werden kann. Dazu wird auf die dünne Kupferschicht 2 der Leiterschleife 2 in bekannter Weise Lötpaste aufgebracht, dann wird das Kupferblechteil 20 flach auf die Lötpaste aufgelegt und schließlich die so auch mit den übrigen Bauelementen bestückte Leiterplatte in den Heißluftofen eingebracht. Um das Bauteil 20 beim Schmelzen der Lötpaste auf der Leiterschleife 2 zu fixieren werden an den gegenüberliegenden Innenrändern der Leiterbahn 2 streifenförmiger Lötstopplack 24 aufgebracht.The manufacture of such a balun is very simple and inexpensive because the additional copper sheet part 20 like a common component in automatic SMD (Surface Mounted Devices) assembly technology together with the others Components of the transistor circuit on the prepared printed circuit board can be soldered. This is done on the thin copper layer 2 of the conductor loop 2 in a known manner Way, solder paste is applied, then the copper sheet part 20 laid flat on the solder paste and finally the same printed circuit board with the other components in the Hot air oven introduced. Around component 20 during melting to fix the solder paste on the conductor loop 2 the opposite inner edges of the conductor track 2 strip-shaped solder mask 24 applied.
