摘要: 提出了一种五模谐振结构和一种基于LTCC(低温共烧陶瓷)技术的双通带滤波器的设计方法。该五模谐振结构是对前人已提出的两种三模谐振结构进行改进设计得出的,其理论和实践方面的可行性分别由奇偶模分析法和弱耦合仿真对其进行了验证。该滤波器采用提出的五模谐振结构实现双通带,另外,采用源-负载耦合、电容等效技术等方式来对谐波进行抑制,同时减小滤波器的体积。该滤波器基于LTCC技术进行建模,采用三维立体集成的方式,利用层叠技术对内部电路进行排列,以达到小型化的目的。该五模双通带滤波器通带范围为3.95GHz~4.25GHz和6.80GHz~7.60GHz,通带内回波损耗优于10dB,插入损耗小于2dB,该滤波器尺寸仅为4.2mm×4.8mm×1.5mm,实物测试结果与仿真结果吻合。Abstract: A structure of quintuple-mode resonator and a method of realizing dual-band filter based on LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramic) technology are proposed. The quintuple-mode resonant structure is designed by two triple-mode resonators proposed before. The feasibility of the quintuple-mode resonant structure is verified both in theory and in practice by the odd even mode analysis and the weak coupling simulation. The dual-band filter is realized by the proposed quintuple-mode resonator. The harmonic is suppressed and the filter is miniaturized by the ways of source-load coupling and connecting the terminal short circuit capacitor to realize open circuit structure. The filter is modeled based on the LTCC process. The method of three-dimensional integration is adopted,and the internal circuits are arranged by stacking technology,so as to achieve miniaturization. By using this method,a dual-pass filter with pass-band 3.95 GHz ~ 4.25 GHz and 6.80 GHz ~ 7.60 GHz is designed. The return loss is better than 10 dB,and the insertion loss is less than 2 dB in pass band,the size is only 4.2 mm×4.8 mm×1.5 mm,the evaluation results show a good match between the sample test with the full wave electromagnetic simulation.
