Definitions
- the invention relates to a magnetically tunable filter according to claim 1.
- Magnetically tunable filter find z.
- B. Use as variable bandpass filters in spectrum analyzers and network analyzers, wherein the desired resonant frequency is adjusted by means of an external variable magnetic field.
- US Pat. No. 4,888,569 discloses a variable bandpass for frequencies within a frequency range of at most one waveguide band, for example 50-75 GHz, with four resonator balls.
- the variable bandpass includes an input waveguide, an output waveguide, and a transition waveguide designed to propagate a TE ⁇ O wave mode.
- the end of the short-circuited wall input waveguide, the beginning of the output waveguide, which is also provided with a shorting wall and mounted in the direction of the externally applied homogeneous magnetic field below the input waveguide and the output waveguide transitional waveguide is arranged in operation between two magnetic poles, which for supplying the setting of a resonant frequency variable magnetic field.
- Input waveguide and output waveguide have in the direction of wave propagation on a rectangular profile, which has a significantly smaller cross-sectional area in the coupling region than at the connecting flange.
- the coupling region of the variable bandpass comprises the four resonator balls mounted near a shorting wall and each of the tapered end of the input waveguide and output waveguide and the transitional waveguide of constant cross-sectional area.
- a disadvantage of the variable bandpass filter described in US Pat. No. 4,888,569 is that, in the case of resonance, the field distribution of the shaft to be coupled out is unfavorable in the coupling region, since this is guided in a waveguide whose profile narrows perpendicular to the propagation direction of the coupling-out shaft to the coupling region.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a magnetically tunable filter for high frequencies, which has the lowest possible insertion loss in the case of resonance and a very high isolation of the filter input and filter output in the decoupling case.
- the object is achieved by the magnetically tunable filter according to the invention with the features of claim 1.
- Advantageous developments of the magnetically tunable filter are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
- the magnetically tunable filter according to the invention comprises a filter housing and two tunable resonator spheres made of magnetizable material. These are arranged side by side in two filter arms, wherein each filter arm has a built on a substrate layer and in the direction of an electrical connection, ie in the direction of the signal input or in the direction of the signal output, extending coplanar line. Both filter arms are connected to each other by a common coupling opening and have a common
- Filter housing On both sides of the coupling opening the resonator balls are arranged on each side within the two filter arms.
- the magnetically tunable filter according to the invention comprises two coplanar lines, whereby a good guidance of the incoming electromagnetic wave and the outgoing shaft is ensured.
- the coplanar lines have no lower limit frequency.
- the resonator spheres are positioned in the region of a short circuit, since here over a wide frequency range
- Magnetic field maximum occurs, which is independent of the frequency of the incoming electromagnetic wave. From the coupling structure and the conductivity type of the coplanar it follows that the working range of the filter according to the invention is relatively wide in terms of frequency and thus for a frequency range to be filtered z. B. from 40GHz to 75GHz is well suited. Furthermore, the coplanar lines used have the advantage that they have a defined characteristic impedance, so that a good coupling of the resonator balls is adjustable. In addition, the characteristic impedance of the coplanar line in the area of the resonator spheres can be easily adapted by using a ⁇ / 4 transformer or a tapers.
- the coplanar line is preferably constructed on a substrate whose dielectric constant is as low as possible in order to keep the wavelength as large as possible in comparison with the diameter of the resonator spheres.
- a large wavelength compared to the diameter of the resonator sphere reduces the excitation of interfering secondary modes, since at a large wavelength the magnetic field distribution in the volume of the resonator sphere is more homogeneous than at a smaller wavelength.
- the two coplanar lines are completely embedded in metallic channels, so that they are largely surrounded by metallic walls.
- an energy transfer is made possible by the fact that these channels or the filter arms are connected to each other via a coupling opening, wherein the coupling opening is formed differently according to the various embodiments or optionally having apertures with geometrically different or differently positioned apertures.
- a partially closed by means of a metallic partition coupling opening has the advantage that the resonator have no direct line of sight to each other.
- the height of the partition is here advantageously chosen so that, although the visual connection between the resonator is prevented, but still a sufficient coupling factor is guaranteed. This is a significant difference from all previous concepts.
