Description

Filter, duplexer, high-frequency front-end circuit and communication device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of filter technologies, and in particular, to a filter, a duplexer, a high-frequency front-end circuit, and a communication device.
Background
With the development of wireless communication applications, the demand for data transmission rate is higher and higher, and the data transmission rate corresponds to high utilization rate of spectrum resources and spectrum complexity. The complexity of the communication protocol imposes strict requirements on various performances of the radio frequency system, and the radio frequency filter plays a crucial role in the radio frequency front-end module and can filter out-of-band interference and noise so as to meet the requirements of the radio frequency system and the communication protocol on the signal to noise ratio.
Rf filters are mainly used in wireless communication systems, such as rf front-ends of base stations, mobile phones, computers, satellite communication, radar, electronic countermeasure systems, and the like. The main performance indicators of the rf filter are insertion loss, out-of-band rejection, power capacity, linearity, device size and cost. The good filter performance can improve the data transmission rate, the service life and the reliability of the communication system to a certain extent. It is crucial to design a high performance, simplified filter for a wireless communication system. At present, a small-sized filtering device capable of meeting the use requirement of a communication terminal is mainly a piezoelectric acoustic wave filter, and resonators constituting the acoustic wave filter mainly include: FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator), SMR (solid Mounted Resonator), and SAW (Surface Acoustic wave). Among them, filters manufactured based on the bulk acoustic wave principle FBAR and SMR (collectively referred to as BAW, bulk acoustic wave resonator) have advantages of lower insertion loss, faster roll-off characteristics, and the like, compared to filters manufactured based on the surface acoustic wave principle SAW.
The broadband filter is generally implemented by using an LC filter, and a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) material is widely used in the LC filter because of its advantages of low cost, good performance, high reliability, and the like. However, due to the limitation of the Q value of LTCC, it has a general performance in terms of insertion loss, out-of-band rejection and roll-off; meanwhile, due to the existence of a lead-Inductor (lead-Inductor), the LTCC has poor far-band rejection characteristics.

Under a certain specific frequency, the larger the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient is, the larger the frequency difference between fs and fp is, i.e. the farther the two resonant frequency points are, the larger Kt is2The resonator can meet the design requirements of a wide bandwidth filter. Meanwhile, the impedance amplitude of the resonator at fs is defined as Rs, which is the minimum value in the impedance curve of the resonator; the magnitude of the impedance of the resonator at fp is defined as Rp, which is the maximum value in the impedance curve of the resonator.

In view of the defects in the above comparative examples, the present embodiment proposes a new filter, which adds a series branch to the existing filter, and sets an acoustic wave filter on any one series branch to form a combined filter.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a topology of a filter according to this embodiment, and as shown in fig. 5, the first series branch includes two inductors L0 connected in series, and a capacitor C1 connected in series between the two inductors L0; the second series branch comprises two inductors L0 connected in series, and a series acoustic wave resonator RES1 is connected between the two inductors L0; the parallel branch comprises two parallel resonance units, each parallel resonance unit comprises a capacitor and an inductor which are connected in parallel, C2, C3, L3 and L4 in the figure, the two parallel resonance units are respectively connected with an input end series branch node P1 and an output end series branch node P2, the other ends of the two parallel resonance units are respectively connected with inductors L5 and L6, and one ends of the two inductors L5 and L6 are connected with a grounding inductor LM together (the node P3). In this structure, the parallel branch includes two parallel resonant units, wherein the filter may further include three parallel resonant units, and fig. 6 is a schematic view of a topology structure of a filter having another structure according to this embodiment; in the figure, the first series branch comprises two series resonant units connected in series, each series resonant unit comprises a capacitor and an inductor connected in series, and C2 and C3 are connected with L0; the second series branch comprises two inductors L0 connected in series, and an acoustic wave resonator RES1 is connected between the two inductors L0 in series; the parallel branch comprises three parallel resonant units, each parallel resonant unit comprises a capacitor and an inductor which are connected in parallel, such as C4 and L3, C5 and L4, C6 and L5 which are connected in parallel in the figure; the three parallel resonant cells are connected to the input end series branch node P1, the series resonant cell connection node, and the output end series branch node P2, respectively, and the other ends are grounded.
As shown in fig. 7, the first series branch comprises two series resonant cells connected in series, each series resonant cell comprising a capacitor and an inductor connected in series, two L0, C2 and C3 respectively; the second series branch comprises two inductors L0 connected in series, and an acoustic wave resonator RES1 is connected between the two inductors in series; the parallel branch comprises three parallel resonance units, each parallel resonance unit comprises a capacitor and an inductor which are connected in parallel, the capacitors and the inductors are respectively C4 and L3, C5 and L4, and C6 and L5 which are connected in parallel, the two parallel resonance units are respectively connected with an input end series branch node P1 and an output end series branch node P2, the other ends of the two parallel resonance units are respectively connected with an inductor L6 and an inductor L8, and one ends of the two inductors are commonly connected with a grounding inductor LM; one end of the other parallel resonant cell is connected to the series resonant cell connection node, and the other end is connected to an inductor L7, which is grounded.
Fig. 8 is an equivalent circuit diagram 400 of the series branch of the comparative circuit structure 100 without considering the parallel branch, in which the inductor LE is the equivalent inductance of the series branch and the capacitor CE is the equivalent capacitance of the series branch. Taking the topology of the filter disclosed in fig. 6 as a first embodiment (embodiment 1), fig. 9 is an equivalent circuit diagram 401 of the circuit structure 300 of the first embodiment without considering the parallel branches, where the inductor LE is an equivalent inductor of the series branch, the capacitor CE is an equivalent capacitor of the series branch, and 2L0 represents the series inductor of the input and output terminals.
As shown in fig. 10, in which a solid line is an impedance frequency characteristic curve of the resonator RES in fig. 9, and a DOT broken line is an impedance frequency characteristic curve of the equivalent circuit shown in fig. 9, the series resonator frequency Fs of the resonator after the resonator RES is connected in series to the equivalent inductance is shifted to a low frequency side, and since the series equivalent inductance is relatively small, the series resonance frequency Fs of the equivalent circuit 401 is hardly changed, and the parallel resonator frequency Fp of the resonator after the resonator RES is connected in parallel to the equivalent capacitance is shifted to a low frequency side. In summary, the equivalent Kt of the resonator is caused by the introduction of the equivalent inductor and the equivalent capacitor in the equivalent circuit shown in 4012And decreases. The DASH dotted line is an impedance frequency characteristic curve of the equivalent circuit shown in fig. 8, and since the equivalent inductance LE is small, the series resonator point is located at a higher frequency.

Fig. 12 shows a parallel branch circuit structure 501 of a comparative example, which is composed of an inductor L and a capacitor C connected in parallel with each other; the topology of the filter disclosed in fig. 7 is taken as a second embodiment, and fig. 13 shows a parallel branch circuit structure 502 of the second embodiment (embodiment 2), which is formed by connecting an inductor L1 and a capacitor C1 in parallel with each other and then connecting an inductor L2 in series.
As shown in fig. 14, in which a thick implementation represents the insertion loss characteristic curve of embodiment 2, and a thin solid line represents the impedance frequency characteristic curve of the parallel branch circuit in the second embodiment shown in fig. 13; the thick broken line is an insertion loss characteristic curve of example 1, and the thin broken line is an impedance frequency characteristic curve of the parallel branch circuit of the first embodiment shown in fig. 12. Since the inductor L2 in the parallel branch circuit of the second embodiment introduces series resonance, a suppression zero is generated at the far band, and the far band suppression characteristic of the filter is effectively improved.
As shown in fig. 15, the change rule of the out-of-band rejection characteristic of the filter is shown along with the change of the inductance of the series inductor L2 in the parallel branch. As the inductance of inductor L2 increases, the damping zero at the far band moves toward the low frequency end.

The parallel branch comprises three parallel resonance units, each parallel resonance unit comprises a capacitor and an inductor which are connected in parallel and are respectively C4, L3, C5, L4, C6 and L5, one end of each parallel resonance unit is respectively connected to an input end series branch node P1, a series resonance unit connection node and an output end series branch node P2, and the other end of each parallel resonance unit is respectively connected with an inductor L6, an inductor L7 and an inductor L8; wherein, an inductor L7 connected with the parallel resonant unit connected with the connection node of the series resonant unit is grounded, inductors L6 and L8 connected with the other two parallel resonant units are respectively connected with a grounding inductor LM, and nodes P3 and P6 between the two inductors L6 and L8 and the grounding inductor LM are connected through a first inductor L9.
In this embodiment, a coupling structure is added to the parallel branch between the input end series branch node P1 and the output end series branch node P2, such as an inductive coupling M shown in fig. 16, where the inductive coupling M can improve the far-band rejection characteristic of the filter. Taking the second embodiment as an example, an inductive coupling M is added between the series inductor L6 of the input-end parallel branch and the series inductor L8 of the output-end parallel branch, and the magnitude of the inductive coupling M corresponds to the insertion loss characteristic curve of the second embodiment, as shown in fig. 21, the added coupled combined rejection zeros are separated into two rejection zeros at high and low frequencies, and the larger the inductive coupling amount is, the farther the two rejection zeros are apart. In conclusion, by changing the inductance of the inductor L2 and adding the inductance coupling between the series inductance L6 of the input-end parallel branch and the series inductance L8 of the output-end parallel branch, the out-of-band rejection index requirements of different frequency bands can be met, and the design flexibility is increased to a great extent.
In this embodiment, the filter may be implemented by LTCC, discrete device, IPD, or other forms, and is preferably implemented by LTCC, which has the advantages of low cost, good performance, high reliability, and the like. As shown in fig. 22, a schematic diagram 800 of a three-dimensional structure implemented by the second embodiment based on LTCC is shown, where 86 is a reference plane, 80 is a resonator RES1, 83 of the second series branch is an LTCC dielectric material, 81 is a device input terminal, 82 is an output terminal of the device, P1 corresponds to a node P4 in the circuit diagram of the second embodiment, P2 corresponds to a node P5 in the circuit diagram of the second embodiment, a distance S between a node P1 and the node P2 corresponds to a series inductance in the parallel branch, a higher S generates a lower frequency of a position where a far-band suppression zero is located, a parameter H corresponds to an inductance LM in the second embodiment, and a higher H generates a larger inductive coupling M between the series inductance L6 representing the input-side parallel branch and the series inductance L8 representing the output-side parallel branch, and the two suppression zeros are further apart.
The present embodiment also provides a duplexer, a high frequency front end circuit and a communication device, including one or more of the filters in the above embodiments.
The above-described embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions may occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
