摘要: 为满足毫米波可重构通信系统需要,文中设计了毫米波可重构威尔金森功分器. 首先在S波段设计了基于PIN二极管的可重构功分器电路和原型;然后在此基础上把原理外推到K/Ka频段,通过参数提取方法重点研究PIN二极管寄生参数的影响及其最佳匹配方式;最后设计了K/Ka频段的可重构功分器原型,并进行了仿真和测试. 实测结果表明,K/Ka频段可重构功分器在工作带宽内,双路导通模式下端口1到传输端口(端口2和端口3)的插入损耗小于4.92 dB,传输端口之间的隔离度大于15.8 dB;单路导通模式下插入损耗小于1.65 dB,端口1和隔离端口之间的隔离度大于22.4 dB,实测结果与仿真结果基本一致. 使用场路联合仿真的方法基于PIN二极管设计可重构功分器,在K/Ka频段考虑寄生参数的影响,设计的可重构功分器模型准确、结构简单,适合可重构系统应用.Abstract: To satisfy the requirements for millimeter-wave reconfigurable communication systems, we designed a millimeter-wave reconfigurable Wilkinson power divider. At first, we designed an S band reconfigurable Wilkinson power divider based on PIN diode, and then the design principle was used in K/Ka band. We studied the effects of the parasitic parameters of PIN diode and the best matching method with parameter extracting, and designed a K/Ka band reconfigurable power divider. We conducted simulation and measurement, and the measurement results show that in the working band, in two-way mode the insertion loss from port 1 to transmission ports (port 2 and port 3) is below 4.92 dB and the isolation between two transmission ports is above 15.8 dB; in one-way mode the insertion loss is below 1.65 dB and the isolation between port 1 and the isolation port is above 22.4 dB. The measurement and simulation results generally agree with each other. Considering the effects of the parasitic parameters of PIN diode, and using EM/circuit co-simulation, we designed a reconfigurable power divider based on PIN diode in K/ Ka band with is accurate, simple and suitable for applications in reconfigurable systems.
