Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement for coupling waveguide waves to a semiconductor component, the semiconductor component being inserted into a coupling opening in a partition between two waveguides, both of which are short-circuited at one end and run parallel to one another at least over a partial length, and one in each waveguide coupling probe contacted with the semiconductor component protrudes.
- US-A-2 433 074 and DE-B-1 028 639 disclose that a coupling probe projects into or out of a waveguide for coupling in or out radio-frequency energy.
- the waveguide is short-circuited and the coupling probes are arranged at a suitable distance in front of the short-circuit wall.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying an arrangement of the type mentioned in the introduction, which has the smallest possible overall length.
- the input waveguide 1 shows a longitudinal section through a microwave circuit, for example an amplifier, oscillator, mixer or the like, with a waveguide input and a waveguide output.
- the input waveguide 1 is coupled to the output waveguide 2 via a coupling opening 4 let into the common side wall 3.
- the coupling opening 4 is at a distance of approximately ⁇ / 16- ⁇ / 4 both from the short-circuit plane 5 of the input waveguide 1 and from the short-circuit plane 6 of the output waveguide 2.
- the active semiconductor component 7 (e.g. diode, FET) of the microwave circuit is inserted into the coupling opening 4 between the two waveguides 1 and 2 and is in ground contact with the waveguide wall 3.
- a first connection arm 8 of the semiconductor component 7 projects into the input waveguide 1 and couples the wave of the input signal there.
- a second connection arm 9 of the semiconductor component protrudes into the output waveguide 2 and couples to it the waves of the semiconductor component e.g. amplified or frequency multiplied signal.
- the connecting arms 8 and 9 of the semiconductor component 7 serving as coupling probes are approximately 0.3-0.8 times the narrow side of the waveguide (i.e. approximately 0.15-0.35 cm at an operating frequency of 20 GHz). Because only very short coupling probes are required here, the thin and not very stable connecting arms can freely project into the waveguide 1, 2 without having to support them.
- the connecting arms 8 and 9 of the semiconductor component 7 are supplied with direct voltages by coaxial bushings 10 and 11 in the walls of the waveguides 1 and 2.
- the direct voltage is fed to the connection arm of the semiconductor component via a thin wire 12 which runs through the waveguide perpendicular to the E field. This type of direct voltage supply ensures that the Waveguide field is disturbed as little as possible and the damping of the coupling is relatively low.
- the coupling between the waveguides and the semiconductor component can be adjusted in a simple manner by means of tuning screws 13, 14 and 15, 16, which project through the waveguide walls opposite the coupling opening 4 in the vicinity of the coupling probes 8 and 9 into the waveguides 1 and 2 .
- FIGS. 3 and 4 The arrangement shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is identical to the arrangement described above according to FIGS. 1 and 2 except for the mounting of the semiconductor component and the design of the coupling probes. 3 and 4, the same reference numerals are used as in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- a semiconductor component 7 which is not housed in a housing is placed on a dielectric carrier plate 17.
- the carrier plate 17 On one side, the carrier plate 17 is provided with two conductor tracks 18 and 19 which are approximately 0.3-0.8 times the waveguide narrow side and run in opposite directions, with which two connection contacts of the semiconductor component 7 are connected by means of bonding wires.
- the carrier plate 17 has two further conductive surfaces 20 with which the semiconductor component is ground-contacted.
- This dielectric carrier plate 17, which is occupied by the semiconductor component 7, is installed in the coupling opening 4 in such a way that its conductive surfaces 20 are contacted with the waveguide wall 3 and its conductor tracks 18 and 19 protrude into the waveguides 1 and 2 as coupling probes.
