Dielectric Waveguide Filter with Direct Coupling and Alternative Cross-Coupling

Field of invention

0001The invention generally refers to dielectric wave conductor filters and in a greater detail to a dielectric wave conductor filter with direct coupling and alternative cross coupling.

Background of the invention

0002This invention refers to a dielectric wave conductor filter of the type, which in the U.S. patent no.<de-docref CY="US" DNUM="5926079" KI="A">5,926,079</de-docref>To Heine et al. It is revealed in which a majority of resonators in the longitudinal direction are arranged along the length of a monoblock made of dielectric/ceramic material in distances, and in which a majority of slots/notches are arranged in the longitudinal direction along the length of the monoblock and a majority of HF signal bridges made of high-electrical material between the majority of resonators, define, which provides direct inductive/capacitive coupling between the majority of resonators.

0003The damping characteristics of a wave conductor filter of the type, which in the U.S.PATENT No. 5, 926, 079 to Heine et al. revealed can be increased by the involvement of zeros in the form of additional resonators that are located at one or both ends of the wave conductor filter. However, a disadvantage, which is linked to include additional resonators, is that the length of the filter is also enlarged, which is not desirable or possible in some applications, for example due to spatial restrictions on a customer's motherboard.

0004The damping characteristics of a filter can also be increased both by direct and a cross-coupling of the resonators, such as in the U.S.PATENT no.<de-docref CY="US" DNUM="7714680" KI="B">7,714,680</de-docref>To Vangala et al. It is revealed that a monoblock filter with both inductive direct coupling and a quadruple cross coupling of resonators reveals some of which are generated by the respective metalization pattern, which are defined on the top of the filter and extend between selected the resonate transition holes in order to provide the revealed direct and cross-coupling of the resonators.

0005The direct and cross-coupling of the type, which in the U.S. patent No. 7, 714, 680 to Vangala et al. It is revealed, and the top side metalization pattern is in the case of wave conductor filters of the type, which in the U.S.PATENT No. 5, 926, 079 to Heine et al. It is not applicable that contains only slots and no top side metalization pattern.

0006Other relevant documents of the state are the U.S.Patente 4, 837, 535, 5, 528, 207, 6, 677, 837, 6, 016, 091, 4, 431, 977<de-docref CY="US" DNUM="20020039058" KI="A1">US 2002/0039058 A1</de-docref>.

0007The present invention is therefore based on a dielectric wave conductor filter with both directly and optionally or alternatively cross -coupled resonators, which enable an increase in the damping characteristics of the wave conductor filter without increasing the length of the wave conductor filter.

0054In the same way as the wave conductor filter 100, which has been described above, and is therefore taken here by reference, the wave conductor filter is 1100 in the embodiment of the<figref>3</figref> und<figref>4</figref>Made from a pair of separate, generally parallel epiped -shaped monoblöcken 1101 and 1103, which have been coupled and have been attached to each other in order to form the wave conductor filter 1100, as described in larger detail below. Each of the monoblic 1101 and 1103 includes a suitable dielectric material, such as ceramics, defines a longitudinal axis L₁, shows opposite and arranged horizontal outer areas 1102 and 1104 in the longitudinal direction, which is in the same direction in the longitudinal direction as the longitudinal axis L₁Extend, opposite and at a distance arranged in the longitudinal direction, sideways vertical outer outer areas 1106 and 1108, which are in the same direction in the longitudinal direction as the longitudinal axis l₁extend, and opposite and at a distance arranged in the transverse direction, side vertical outer outer end areas 1110 and 1112, which are generally normal to the longitudinal axis L in one direction₁Extend each of the monoblocks 1101 and 1103.

0056The two slots in 1124 extend along the length of the side area 1106 Each of the monoblic 1101 and 1103 in a ratio that is referred to a distance and in a ratio in general to the longitudinal axis L₁. Each of the 1124 slots cuts through the side area 1106 and the opposite horizontal areas 1102 and 1104 and partly through the body and the dielectric material each of the monoblocks 1101 and 1103.

0057The two slots in 1126 extend along the length of the opposite side areas 1108 Each of the monoblic 1101 and 1103 in one, one, a distance -referred and parallel ratio, in a ratio in general to the longitudinal axis L₁And in a opposite, collinear and complabase relationship with the respective slots 1124, which are defined in the side area 1106. Each of the 1126 slots cuts through the side area 1108 and the opposite horizontal areas 1102 and 1104 and partly through the body and the dielectric material each of the monoblocks 1101 and 1103.

0058Due to their opposite, a distance to a distance, collinear and convenient relationship, each of the couples of slots 1124 and 1126 together defines a majority of (and in greater detail in the embodiment of the<figref>3</figref> und<figref>4</figref>two) generally in the middle of the middle of the HF signal bridges 1128 and 1130 in the monoblock 1101, which stretch and connect between the resonators 1116 and 1118, and HF signal bridges 1132 and 1134 in the monoblock 1103, which are stretched between the resonators 1120, 1121 and 1122, and each combine a bridge or island made of dielectric material, which are between areas 1102 and 1104 each of the monoblic 1101 and 1103 in a ratio and an orientation generally normally to the longitudinal axis l₁Each of the respective monoblic 1101 and 1103 and extends them cutting.

0069The connecting element flange 404 is soldered directly on the area 140 of the respective levels 136 and 138 of the respective monoblocks 101 and 103, and the connection element pencil 403 extends into the conductive material inside the respective through holes 146 and is soldered into it using a reflow process.

0070Wie in<figref>3</figref>The separate monoblocks 1101 and 1103 are shown and attached to each other in order to define and form the wave conductor filter 1100 in the same way as described above with regard to the wave conductor filter 100, in which the majority of resonators 1114, 1116, 1118, 1120, 1121 and 1122 in two columns and three rows in the same way as the resonators 114, 116, 118, 120, 121 and 122 of the wave conductor filter 100 are arranged, And therefore the description listed above is recorded here by reference with regard to the wave conductor filter 1100.

0071In greater detail, and as in<figref>3</figref>The monoblocks 1101 and 1103 are shown and attached to each other to define the wave conductor filter 1100 in a ratio, in which the vertical side area 1108 of the monoblock 1101 is adjacent to the vertical surface 1106 of the monoblock 1103 and attached to it; The slots 1126 on the monoblock 1101 collinear with the slots 1124 on the monoblock 1103 are aligned in order to define and form a couple of respective elongated and parallel internal or inner elongated slots 1129 and 1131, which in the middle of the wave conductor filter 1100 in general to the longitudinal axis L₁the monoblocks 1101 and 1103 and in a collinear relationship to the respective outer or peripheral slots 1124, which are defined in the area 1106 of the monoblock 1101, and the outer or peripheral slots 1126, which are defined in area 1108 of the monoblock 1103; And level 1136 on the Monoblock 1101 against level 1138 on the Monoblock 1103 is adjacent and is thus aligned.

0098<figref>5</figref> und<figref>6</figref>Show a further embodiment of a wave conductor filter 2100 in accordance with the present invention, all of which contains the elements and characteristics of the wave conductor filter 100 and 1100, with the exception that the wave conductor filter 2100 has a level 2137 and, in larger detail, levels 2136 and 2138 Varying length, which is defined as described in greater detail below.

0099Therefore and as described with regard to the wave conductor filter 100 and 1100, and therefore recorded here by reference, the wave conductor filter 2100 in the design shown is made from a pair of separate, generally parallel epiped -shaped mono blocks 2101 and 2103, which have been linked and have been attached to each other in order to form the wave conductor filter arrangement, as in larger detail is described below.

0102The two slots 2124 extend along the length of the side area 2106 Each of the monoblic 2101 and 2103 in a ratio that is referred to a distance and in a ratio in general to the longitudinal axis L₁. Each of the slots 2124 cuts through the lateral area 2106 and the opposite horizontal areas 2102 and 2104 and partly through the body and the dielectric material each of the monoblocks 2101 and 2103.

0103The two slots 2126 extend along the length of the opposite side areas 2108 Each of the monoblic 2101 and 2103 in one, a distance -referred and parallel ratio, in a ratio in general to the longitudinal axis L₁and in a opposite, collinear and complabase relationship to the respective slots 2124, which are defined in the side area 2106. Each of the slots 2126 cuts through the lateral area 2108 and the opposite horizontal areas 2102 and 2104 and partly through the body and the dielectric material each of the monoblocks 2101 and 2103.

0104Due to their opposite, a distance, collinear and comfortable relationship, each of the couples of slots 2124 and 2126 together defines a majority of (and in greater detail in the embodiment of the<figref>5</figref>two) generally in the middle of the middle of the HF signal 2128 and 2130, which stretch between the respective resonators 2114, 2116 and 2118 in the monoblock 2101 and connect them together, and HF signal bridges 2132 and 2134, which are connected between the respective resonators 2120, 2121 and 2122, and each of them from a bridge or island dielectric material, which between areas 2102 and 2104 each of the monoblocks 2101 and 2103 in a ratio and an orientation generally normally to the longitudinal axis l₁Each of the respective monoblocks 2101 and 2103 and extends them cutting.

0106In the design shown, the width of each of the HF signal bridges 2128, 2130, 2132 and 2134 depends on the distance between the opposite slots 2124 and 2126, and is about a third of the width each of the mono blocks 2101 and 2103.

0107Although it is not shown in any of the figures, it will be understood that the thickness or width of the slots 2124 and 2126 and the depth or the distance, over which the slots 2124 and 2126 from the respective side surfaces 2106 or 2108 in the bodies and the dielectric material each of the monoblocks 2101 and 2103 can be extended, depending on the specific application to be varied in order to be varied to make possible, that the width and length of the HF signal bridges 2128 and 2130 can be varied accordingly in order to enable control of the electrical coupling and the bandwidth of the wave conductor filter arrangement 2100 and thus to control the performance characteristics of the wave conductor filter arrangement.

0195The wave conductor filter 3100 defines and creates the same direct HF signal path D and the same indirect cross-coupling or alternating HF signal path C in the same way with regard to the wave conductor filter 1100 and 2100, and therefore their previous descriptions are recorded here by reference with regard to the wave conductor filter 3100.

0196In particular, the wave conductor filter 3100 defines in accordance with the invention, and in the same way as the wave conductor filter 1100, which has been described above and, as is recorded here by reference, a first magnetic or inductive, generally U-shaped HF signal transmission path with direct coupling for HF signals, as it generally through the arrows D in<figref>7</figref>It is specified to successively use the HF signal input/output contact area 3800, which is located in level 3137 of block 3105 and, in greater detail, in the level 3136 of the Monoblock 3101, in which the HF signal contact area 3800 defines the HF signal input contact area; The HF signal transmission input passage 3146, which is located in level 3137 and is in greater detail in level 3136, which is defined in the resonator 3114 of the monoblock 3101, level 3137 on block 3105 and, in greater detail, level 3136 on monoblock 3101; the resonator 3114 in block 3105 and, in greater detail, the resonator 3114 of the monoblock 3101; the resonator 3116 in the block 3105 and, in greater detail, the resonator 3116 in the Monoblock 3101 using and through the HF signal bridge 3128, and the Reso Nator 3118 in the block 3105 and, in larger detail, the resonator 3118 in the Monoblock 3101 using and through the HF signal bridge 3130.

0198According to this embodiment of the present invention, the wave conductor filter 3100 also defines a few of HF signal transmission paths with alternating or indirect or cross-coupling for HF signals, as generally by arrows C in<figref>3</figref>are displayed.

0199One of the cross-coupling or indirect e-field/capacitive HF signal transmission paths C is defined and generated by the external HF signal transmission line 3500, which extends between the resonators 3116 and 3121, as described above and is recorded here by reference, which enables the transmission of the direct share of the direct HF signals, which are made by the resonator 3116 of the block 3105 and, in greater detail, the resonator 3116 of the monoblock 3101 is transferred directly to the resonator 3121 of block 3105 and, in greater detail, the resonator 3121 of the monoblock 3103 is transmitted by means of the external strip made of conductive material 3504, which the respective resonators 3116 and 3121 on the block 3105 and, in greater detail, on the respective monoblöcken 3101 and 3103 bridged to each other and electrically connects them.

0200The other cross-coupling or indirect magneti/inductive HF signal transmission path C is defined and generated by the internal or internal HF signal transmitters 3700, as it has been described above and is recorded here by reference, which enables the transmission of a small portion of the direct HF signal, which by the resonator 3114 of the block 3105 and, in greater detail, the resonator 3114 of the monoblock 3101 is transferred, directly in the resonator 3122 of block 3105 and, in greater detail, the resonator 3122 of the monoblock 3103 by means of the internal or internal HF signal transmission window 3722, which is defined in the interior of block 3105 in the area of resonators 3114 and 3122 and in between.

0212The slot 4133 is located in the middle of the monoblock 4101 and is defined there and extends between the slots 4129 and 4131 in a ratio in general collinear with the longitudinal axis L₁of the monoblock 4105 and connects it to define a generally "i", which is generally "i" in general, in the middle of the monoblock 4101.

0213Another slot 4135 extends from the end surface 4110 of the Monoblock 4101, cuts through level 4136, which is defined in the Monoblock 4101, and ends in the body of the Monoblock 4101 at a point that is arranged at a distance from the slit 4131. In the embodiment shown, the slot 4135 is in a ratio in general collinear with the slot 4133 and the longitudinal axis l₁of the monoblock 4105 and in a ratio in general normally positioned to the slots 4129 and 4131.

The external cross-coupling transmission electrode 4500 also contains an elongated strip made of conductive material 4504, which is defined and formed on the top of the printed circuit card 4502, which bridges the respective resonators 4116 and 4121 on the monoblock 4105 and extends over it.

0234In addition, and although not in the<figref>9</figref>Showed should be understood that the printed circuit card 4502 also has the respective inner passage holes and defines, which are extended by the body of the printed circuit card 4502 and are designed, respective conductive pens 4510 and 4512, which extend from the top 4102 of the respective resonators 4116 and 4121 to the outside, in a contact with the opposite section of the strip 4504 for electrical coupling of the resonators 4116 and 4121.

0235In the design shown, the external transmission line 4500 is between and at a distance from the slots 4129 and 4131 and cuts the longitudinal axis L₁.

0236The wave conductor filter 4100 also includes an inner or internal HF signal transmission 4600 with direct inductive coupling, which is defined by the passage holes 4138 and 4139, and which extends between the respective resonators 4118 and 4120 and is in between and connects and couples with each other, and an inner or internal path for the transmission of the HF signals from the Resonator 4118 defined in the Resonator 4120.

0237According to the invention, the wave conductor filter 4100, which provides the same performance and the same operating advantages and characteristics of the wave conductor filter 1100, defines a first magnetic or inductive, generally U-shaped HF signal transmission with direct coupling for HF signals, as in general through the arrows D in<figref>9</figref>It is specified to gradually use the connection element 4400 in the embodiment, in which the connecting element 4400 defines the HF signal input connection element, the HF signal transmission input passage 4146, which is located in the area of level 4137, which is above the longitudinal axis L₁and the slot 4135, the Resonator 4114, the Resonator 4116 by means of the HF signal bridge 4128 made of dielectric material, the resonator 4118 by means of the 4120 resonator 4120 by the internal HF signal transmission 4600, in the inside of the block 4105 between the resonators 4118 and 4120 is defined by the respective inner passage holes 4138 and 4139 the resonator 4121 using the bridge 4132 made of dielectric material, the resonator 4122 using and by the bridge 4134 made of dielectric material, the area of level 4137, which is below the longitudinal axis L₁and the slot 4135 is located, the HF signal transmission input/output passage 4146, which is located in the area of level 4137, which is below the longitudinal axis L₁is located, and through the HF signal output connection element 4401.

0238According to this embodiment, the wave conductor filter 4100 also defines a first external HF signal transmission path with alternating or indirect or cross coupling for HF signals, as generally by the arrow C in<figref>9</figref>is displayed and is defined and generated by the external HF signal transmission line 4500, which enables the external transmission of a small proportion of the direct HF signal, which are transferred by the resonator 4116, directly to the resonator 4121 by means of the external strip 4504, which bridges the slit 4133 and the resonators and resonators and 4121 connects electrically.

0239According to this embodiment, the slot 4135 prevents a cross-coupling or transfer of the HF signal directly from the resonator 4114 to the resonator 4122 with the exception of a small share, which from the resonator 4114 to the resonator 4122 by and through the HF signal bridge 4141 and the transmission path, which is generally through the second arrow in<figref>9</figref>is given, and the second change or indirect or indirect or cross-coupling HF signal transmission path for HF signals similar to the second change or indirect or cross-coupling path, which is through the inner window 1722 of the wave conductor filter, which in the<figref>3</figref> und<figref>4</figref>is shown, created, transferred.

0240The slot 4133 prevents a cross-coupling or transmission of the HF signal directly from the Resonator 4116 to the Resonator 4121, of course with the exception by the external cross coupling electrode 4500, as described above.

0241According to the invention, the cross coupling of the HF signal in the monoblock 4101, as described in detail above, generates the same first and second pair of transmission nulls, as described above with regard to the wave conductor filter 1100 and is therefore recorded here by reference and as in the reference<figref>12</figref>It is shown that also representative of the performance/frequency response of the in<figref>9</figref>shown in the wave conductor filter 4100.
