One-to-three single-ended-balanced microwave filtering power distribution system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of microwave communication, in particular to a one-to-three single-ended-balanced type microwave filtering power distribution system.
Background
The one-path and multi-path power distribution system can divide one path of microwave signals into multiple paths of microwave signals and is widely applied to systems such as radars, phased arrays, array antennas and the like. The single-ended-balanced type microwave power distribution system not only has a common mode rejection function, but also can be simultaneously connected with a single-ended circuit and a balanced type circuit so as to adapt to different system requirements; the microwave power distribution system with the filtering function can reduce the number of devices, improve the integration level of the system, reduce the loss and improve the comprehensive performance of the system. The one-to-three single-ended-balanced microwave filtering power distribution system has all the characteristics and is an important part in a microwave system.
The single-ended-balanced power distribution system reported at present is mainly realized based on a microstrip structure and is divided into a filtering type design and a non-filtering type design. The non-filtering type design does not have a filtering function, and the design methods mainly comprise two types, one type is realized based on the microstrip type Wilkinson power divider externally connected with a half-wavelength microstrip line, and the other type is realized based on the microstrip coupling type Wilkinson power divider externally connected with a half-wavelength coupling microstrip line. The single-ended-balanced power distribution system realized based on the two design methods does not have a filtering function, and an external filter is needed when the system needs the filtering function, so that the integration and miniaturization of a microwave system are not facilitated. The filtering type single-ended-balanced power distribution system integrates the filtering technology and the single-ended-balanced power distribution technology, is realized in the design of a single device, and is beneficial to the miniaturization and integration of a microwave system. The current single-ended-balanced filtering power distribution system mainly comprises two design methods, one is realized by combining a coupling feed Wilkinson power divider with a 180-degree inverter, and the other is realized by combining a multi-layer double-sided strip line with a half-mode defected ground structure. Although the two methods can obtain functions of one-to-two power distribution, filtering, single-ended-balanced conversion and the like, the two methods also have the problems of incapability of dividing into three paths, large loss, complex structure and the like. Therefore, the single-ended-balanced filtering power distribution system with low loss, simple structure and one-to-three paths is provided, and is beneficial to improving the comprehensive performance of the microwave power distribution system.
