Va., assignors to Scope, Incorporated, Falls Church,
Va., a corporation of New Hampshire Filed Aug. 1, 1961, Ser. No. 128,502 3 Claims. (Cl. 33373) The present invention relates generally to wave guide filters, and more particularly to wave guide filters consisting of discrete sections.
In the construction of high-Q direct-coupled microwave filters having two or more cavities in series, post susceptances or inductive irises inserted in a section of waveguide are commonly used. This type of construction is mechanically troublesome in that critical soldered or brazed joints are required at points which are relatively inaccessible within the guide. Also, the soldered connections fall in regions where the current in the filter is relatively large so that the connections are electrically critical as well.
The fabrication technique according to the present invention makes electrically critical portions of the filter completely accessible to machining, to special surface treatment such as silver plating, and to inspection prior to assembly of the filter. Also, the mechanical joint (soldered, bonded, or merely clamped), occurs at places where the electrical performance of the joint is especially non-critical. Finally, the technique permits use of a circular-hole-in-iris type of coupling susceptance capable of providing a wide range of susceptance values (merely by varying hole diameter) and amenable to close control of tolerances.
A filter according to the invention is assembled from a number of standard preformed sections having the form of a short length of waveguide with a centered transverse wall as an integral part of the guide section. These sections might be cast or possibly drawn, and for critical applications could be plated and buffed on the interior surfaces. With a large number of such standard sections on hand, fabrication of the filter would involve milling down the ends of the sections to a length appropriate to the center frequency of the filter, and drilling a centered hole in the transverse wall appropriate to the bandwidth of the filter in accordance with standard filter synthesis procedures. as consisting electrically of a shunt susceptance centered between quarter-wave lengths of guide. Thus, when a number of these sections are connected together, the joints occur at points of low current and high voltage so that poor electrical contact at the joint will have little effect on filter performance.
This type of fabrication is not only simpler than that conventionally used, but will produce electrically superior results as well, especially in the case of narrow-band high-Q filters where dissipation becomes critical.
Secondary advantages include the following:
(1) In experimental filter design, various values of shunt susceptance can be easily substituted.
(2) For special applications, the sections can incorporate ridge loading so as to reduce the cut-off frequency of the prototype guide structure. This would permit a reduction in the size of filters designed for, say the S and C frequency bands.
Finally, special short sleeves or bushings incorporating Each resulting section can then be pictured 3,137,828 Patented June 16, 1964 tuning screws could be used to connect the sections together.
It is Well known that in waveguide components for very high frequencies, such as filters, structural discontinuities in the interior surfaces generate standing waves which involve losses and undesired phase shifts. Elimination of such discontinuities in waveguide filters during manufacture in an economical and effective manner is therefore highly desirable. However, in prior art waveguide filters the elimination of such discontinuities is extremely difllcult because the interiors of the filters are inaccessible.
It may also be desirable to have the capability of changing the electrical characteristics of waveguide filters after they have been fabricated. In conventional filters wherein there are a pluarity of resonant chambers each of /2 wavelength in length and separated by shunt susceptances of the apertured wall type, once the filter is fabricated, the size of the apertures and the size of interior chambers cannot be changed. Thus in prior art practice the resonant frequency and the bandwidth of a waveguide filter cannot be varied, and an entire new filter possessing the desired electrical characteristics must be substituted.
According to the present invention there is provided a waveguide filter assembly comprising a plurality of tandem connected discrete waveguide filter sections, each section being in the form of a tube having an apertured transverse wall in the center thereof. Each of the discrete filter sections is made by forming electrically conducting material into a tube having a transverse wall in the center thereof. An aperture is drilled in the transverse Wall to provide a desired susceptance, and the ends of the tubular body are milled to a desired wavelength. The discrete filter sections are then joined end to end by bushings to form a filter assembly having resonant chambers each /2 wavelength long with joints in the center of each chamber. The bushings may have variable tuning elements such as screws or stubs located thereon. The exactness of the fit of the discrete filter sections at their joints is not criti cal because, as is Well known, the current is low and the voltage is high at points in the center of a /2 wavelength resonant chamber, and thus, at the joints of the filter assembly of the invention. If desired, each discrete section may be electroplated and buffed prior to assembly.
One object and advantage of the waveguide filter assembly according to the invention is that the electrical characteristics at the joints connecting the discrete filter element are not critical.
Another object and advantage is that any of the discrete filter sections of the waveguide filter assembly may be replaced by other discrete filter section having different electrical characteristics such as, for example, different values of shunt susceptance.
A further advantage and object of the invention is that interior areas of the waveguide filter assembly are readily accessible for repairs, or for finishing during fabrication.
The above and still further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of one specific embodiment thereof, especially when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a view in longitudinal section of a waveguide filter assembly according to the invention;
FIGURE 2 is a cross section of the filter of FIGURE 1 taken along line 22;
FIGURE 3 is a view in longitudinal section of a discrete filter section according to the invention;
FIGURE 4 is an integral tubular body having a transverse wall in the center thereof, from which a discrete filter section may be fabricated; and
FIGURE 5 is a self-explanatory flow sheet indicating a method of fabricating discrete filter sections and assembly thereof.
Referring to FIGURE 1, a longitudinal section of the waveguide filter assembly of the invention is generally illustrated at 10. The particular type of filter shown at is a waveguide bandpass filter of well-known design having shunt susceptances of the apertured transverse wall type. However, other types of waveguide filters of the resonant cavity type may be constructed according to the invention, the type shown in FIGURE 1 constituting an illustrative example only. Filter assembly 10 includes a plurality of discrete waveguide filter sections 12 tandemly connected in a stack by bushings or short sleeves 14 located at abutting joints 16.
A typical discrete filter section is shown at 12 in FIGURE 3. Referring to the flow sheet of FIGURE 5 and to FIGURES 3 and 4, a discrete filter section 12 is fabricated by forming electrically conductive material, such as copper or brass, into a unitary tubular body 18 shown in FIGURE 4, having an integral transverse wall 20 therein. The forming of bodies 18 may be carried out by conventional methods of extrusion or casting. An aperture 22 of a size appropriate to the bandwidth desiderd in a filter section is drilled through wall 20. The distance of wall 20 to each open end of the tubular body 18 is A the wavelength of the center frequency A of a filter in which the discrete section 12 is intended for use. If a more critical tolerance is desired, the ends of each of the discrete sections 12 may be milled and the interior surfaces thereof electroplated with highly conductive material such as silver and bufied in a conventional manner as indicated on the fiow sheet of FIGURE 5.
As indicated in FIGURE 1, a plurality of discrete filter sections 12 is tandemly stacked and suitably secured by bushings 14 to form the filter assembly 10 of the inven tion. Since each apertured transverse wall 20 of each discrete section 12 is MA from its ends, the filter assembly 10 includes a plurality of resonant chambers indicated at 24, each chamber being /zk in length and coupled by apertures 22 as shunt susceptances according to well known principles. The joints 16 formed by the open ends of the discrete sections 12 abut at the center of each resonant chamber 24. Since the center of a /2X resonant chamber has high voltage but low current, the phase shift and losses due to irregularities or discontinuities at each joint 16 are relatively small. On the other hand, and according to the invention there are no discontinuities such as may be caused by bonding or welding at the junction of each transverse wall 20 with the inside periphery of tubular body 18 because wall 20 is formed integrally with body 18.
Referring to FIGURES 1 and 2, it may be desirable to provide one or more tuning elements in filter assembly 10 to vary the center frequency thereof. To accomplish this, one or more of the short sleeves or bushings 14 may be provided with a conventional tuning element 26 shown as being of the screw type but which may be of the rod or rotary type as well. Such tuning elements are well known and are described by in chapter 28 of Very High Frequency Techniques," vol. II, published by McGraw-Hill in New York and London in 1947. In order to receive the tuning element 26 a small notch 28 may be drilled at one or both ends of a discrete filter section 12 at a location in corresponding register with a notch 28 of another discrete filter section so that when the two discrete sections are brought together in abutting relationship, an opening is formed.
It is understood that each of the discrete filter sections 12 of the invention may have varying shunt susceptances in a given filter assembly. An example of a filter having sections of varying apertures or slots is described in the 4 patent to W. D. Lewis, 2,585,563, issued on February 12, 1952.
In operation, the filter assembly 10 of the invention is inserted in a conventional very high frequency line such as a waveguide or a coaxial line having suitable translation elements. Discrete filter sections 12 are selected for assembly according to the center frequency A and bandwidth desired to be filtered. The assembly 10 is conveniently connected to the line by sleeves or bushings 14 in the manner described for connecting the filter sections 12. If it is desired to change the operating characteristics of the inserted assembly 10, one or more of the discrete sections 12 may be replaced by other discrete sections without removing the entire assembly 10 from the line. Because the sections 12 are independently replaceable, the filter assembly according to the invention is particularly advantageous for testing purposes.
Should there be an occurrence of losses or phase shifts after placing the filter assembly 10 in a line, the interior surfaces of each discrete filter section 12 may be separately inspected, tested, and modified.
As an example of a discrete filter section 12 constructed as rectangular in cross section according to the invention, the following measurements in inches and limits of tolerance thereof were found to give satisfactory results:
