      • 摘要: 本文提出了基于内嵌式隔离网络和混合多模技术的小型化输出正交性基片集成波导(substrate integrated waveguide, SIW)等分/不等分滤波功率分配器(filtering power divider, FPD)。由容性加载的隔离网络内嵌于多模谐振单元而构建的全新SIW FPD架构,可同时实现高密度集成、高隔离、不同的输出功率比和输出正交性。其中,具有正交输出的隔离网络由四条内嵌式的传输线、两个贴片电容和两个交指电容构成,可实现SIW FPD的高集成性、可控的输出功率比、输出正交性和高隔离特性。此外,具有宽阻带和高选择性的四阶滤波响应可通过混合四模谐振单元实现,具体地,两个LC模式内嵌于两个SIW腔体模式(TE101和TE201),可使TE101和TE201模式迅速下降而其他高次模式基本保持不变,从而实现宽阻带,且多路交叉耦合产生的临近通带旁的两个传输零点可实现频率高选择性。最终经加工测试,设计实现了中心频率f0分别为6.03 GHz/6.04 GHz,3 dB相对带宽分别为3.5%/3.6%,输出功率比分别为1∶1/1∶1.5的等分/不等分FPD,且它们的输出相位差、全频段隔离和上阻带抑制分别为90°±2.6°/89°±4°,20.1 dB/19.6 dB和20 dB @ 3.09 f0/20 dB @ 3.05 f0。两个结构的尺寸均仅为0.4λg2。本文所提出的两种基于嵌入式隔离网络的小型化高隔离FPD,通过 LC 谐振器与 HMSIW 谐振器结合实现单腔四模与宽阻带滤波特性,并利用交叉耦合与正交隔离网络,在单一器件内集成滤波、功率分配与移相功能。该 FPD 具备小型化、高选择性、高隔离、宽阻带、正交输出及可变功率比等优势,可更好地应用于各类射频前端系统。

         

        Abstract: Miniaturized substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) filtering power dividers with output equal/unequal power and quadrature phase are proposed based on embedded isolation network and hybrid multi-mode technology. For the first time, the capacitive loaded isolation network is embedded in multi-mode resonant units to construct the novel SIW filtering power divider architecture, which simultaneously realizes high-density integration, high isolation, different output power ratios and orthogonality. It should be noted that the embedded isolation network with output quadrature consists of four embedded transmission lines, two chip capacitors, and two interdigital capacitors, thus realizing the high-density integration, controllable output power ratios, output orthogonality and high isolation of the SIW filtering power divider. In addition, the fourth-order filtering response with the wide stopband and high frequency selectivity can be achieved through hybrid four-mode resonant units. Specifically, two LC modes are embedded within two SIW cavity modes (TE101 and TE201), which not only cause the rapid frequency decline of TE101 and TE201 modes but also maintain other higher-order modes largely unchanged, resulting in the wide stopband characteristic. Furthermore, multi-way cross-coupling generates two transmission zeros near the adjacent passband to achieve high frequency selectivity. After processing and testing, the design of equal/unequal filtering power dividers achieves center frequencies (f0) at 6.03 GHz/6.04 GHz, 3 dB relative bandwidths of 3.5%/3.6% and output power ratios of 1/1.5. Their output phase differences, full-band isolation and upper stopband suppression are 90°±2.6°/89°±4°, 20.1 dB/19.6 dB and 20 dB @ 3.09 f0/20 dB @ 3.05 f0, respectively. The sizes of these filtering power dividers are only 0.4λg2, where λg is waveguide wavelength at f0. In this paper, two miniaturized high-isolation filtering power dividers (FPDs) based on embedded isolation networks are proposed. By combining LC resonators with HMSIW resonators, a single-cavity four-mode resonance and wide-stopband filtering performance are achieved. Furthermore, with the utilization of cross-coupling and quadrature isolation networks, the proposed FPD integrates filtering, power division, and phase-shifting functions into a single device. Featuring advantages such as compact size, high selectivity, high isolation, wide stopband, quadrature output, and variable power division ratios, the presented FPD can be better applied to various RF front-end systems.
