      SIW Filtering Power Divider with Output Equal / Unequal Power Based on Embedded Isolation Network

      • 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。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滤波功率分配器架构,其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,具有正交输出的内嵌式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,从而实现了SIW滤波功率分配器的高集成性、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),不但使得TE101和TE201模式迅速下降而其它高次模式基本保持不变,从而实现了宽阻带的特性,而且多路交叉耦合产生了临近通带旁的两个传输零点来实现频率高选择性。最终经加工测试,设计实现了中心频率<italic>f</italic>0分别为6.03 GHz / 6.04 GHz,3dB相对带宽分别为3.5% / 3.6%,和输出功率比分别为1:1 / 1:1.5的等分/不等分滤波功率分配器,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<italic>f</italic>0 / 20 dB @3.05 <italic>f</italic>0。两个结构的尺寸均仅为0.4<italic>λ</italic>g2,<italic>λ</italic>g为<italic>f</italic>0处的波导波长。

         

        Abstract: Miniaturized 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 (<italic>f</italic>0) 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<italic>f</italic>0 / 20 dB @3.05 <italic>f</italic>0, respectively. The sizes of these filtering power dividers are only 0.4λg², where λg is waveguide wavelength at <italic>f</italic>0.
