Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a multi-type filter assembly, and more specifically, to a multi-type filter assembly capable of maximizing the notch characteristics while presenting the standard of a filter arrangement design.


BACKGROUND ART

Generally, a filter applied to a base station apparatus is represented as a cavity filter and a dielectric resonator filter (DR filter).


As an example of the cavity filter, there can be a notch filter, which is a bandpass filter using a notch, and the notch filter is a component used in various wireless communication base station and radio frequency (RF) bands, and a passive element having the characteristics that pass only a frequency in a specific band and attenuate the remaining frequency signals. The characteristics such as the insertion loss into the passband and the attenuation in the stop band among the important characteristics of the bandpass filter are important elements representing the performance of the filter. In particular, to reduce the interference between adjacent channels or the transmission/reception bands among the attenuation characteristics, the attenuation characteristic in the specific band should be good.


Meanwhile, like the cavity filter, the dielectric resonator filter serves to filter an input frequency with a minimum loss by a unique high quality factor (Q) value to output only a desired frequency in a specific band to an output terminal. The dielectric resonator filter adjusts the electromagnetic field characteristic of the cavity by adjusting an interval between a dielectric resonator installed in each cavity and a tuning screw disposed on an upper portion of the dielectric resonator, and adjusting an interval between the tuning screw installed on an upper portion of a window, which is formed on a partition wall located between the cavity and the cavity, and the window, thereby adjusting the resonation characteristic (i.e., center frequency) and the coupling characteristic (i.e., frequency band).


The dielectric resonator filter is becoming more advanced because it is compact and has a low loss.


However, until now, a method for strengthening each skirt characteristic of the cavity filter and the dielectric resonator filter is different and therefore, the cavity filter and the dielectric resonator filter cannot be applied to a single filter in combination.

Further, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a multi-type filter assembly, which can implement the desired skirt characteristic even without having a separate metal crossbar for strengthening the skirt characteristic between cavity filters.

The terms as defined in the dictionaries used commonly should be interpreted as having the meanings consistent with the contextual meanings of the relevant technology, and unless clearly defined otherwise in the present application, should be not interpreted as ideally or excessively formal meanings.



FIG. 1 is a perspective diagram and a partially enlarged diagram showing a multi-type filter assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a plan diagram and a partially enlarged diagram showing the multi-type filter assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a multi-type filter assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing 1 in which a plurality of cavities that are opened to one side thereof are formed. The housing 1 can be formed with the plurality of cavities (see reference numerals 10, 21, 22, 23 in FIGS. 1 and 2), in which at least any one of a cavity filter 100 and dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 can be installed, to be opened to one side thereof.


Each of the cavity filter 100 provided with a resonator made of a metal material for resonation in a transverse electric mode and magnetic (TEM) mode, and the dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 provided with a dielectric resonator for resonation in a transverse electric (TE) mode can be provided in the plurality of cavities.


The multi-type filter assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is a combination of a plurality of RF filters. As is already well known, the RF filter is a device configured to pass only a signal in a preset specific frequency band, and can be classified into a lowpass filter, a bandpass filter, a highpass filter, and a bandstop filter depending upon a filtering frequency band.


As the important characteristics of the filter, there are an insertion loss and a skirt characteristic, in which the insertion loss refers to a power at which a signal is lost through the filter, and the skirt characteristic refers to the steepness degrees of the passband and stopband of the filter.


The insertion loss and the skirt characteristic have the tradeoff relationship depending upon the order of the filter. In other words, as the order of the filter is higher, the relationship in which the skirt characteristic is good but the insertion loss is poor is established.


To improve the skirt characteristic of the filter while maintaining the insertion loss of the filter, a method for forming a notch (attenuation pole) is mainly used, which is a method for strengthening the skirt characteristic of the filter while maintaining the insertion loss of the filter by forming the notch in the specific frequency band.


The cross coupling method is well known as being generally used for forming the notch. Generally, the cross coupling is implemented using a coupling metal bar, and the coupling metal bar is installed to penetrate an inner wall (or partition wall) defining the cavity, thereby generating the coupling phenomenon between the associated resonators.



FIGS. 3A to 3D are conceptual diagrams and the result tables for explaining the notch generation principle for each cross coupling structure, and FIGS. 4A to 4C are perspective diagrams and electric-field generating diagrams for explaining L-Coupling and C-Coupling induction principles according to the shape of the window.


It is necessary to first understand the principle of generating the cross coupling in that the multi-type filter assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure aims to be designed to generate the cross coupling between the cavity filter 100 provided with the general resonator made of the metal material and the dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 provided with the dielectric resonator without separate configuration.


As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the second resonance is a phase of 90 degrees phase or a phase of −90 degrees in the L-Cross Coupling structure or the C-Cross Coupling structure, the notch is not generated when the phase of the L-Coupling or the phase of the C-Coupling for forming the cross-coupling is the same as a phase passing a 1-2-3 path and a phase passing a 1-3 path, whereas the notch is generated when there occurs a phase difference of 180 degrees. Therefore, in FIG. 3A, the notch is not generated for In phase, but an L-notch is generated for Out of phase, and even in FIG. 3B, the notch is not generated for In phase, but the C-notch is generated for Out of phase.


Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D, when the second resonance is the phase of 90 degrees or the phase of −90 degrees in a Multi L-Cross Coupling structure or a Multi C-Cross Coupling structure, the notch is not generated when the phase of the L-Coupling or the phase of the C-Coupling for forming the cross coupling is the same as the phase passing the 1-2-3 path and the phase passing the 1-3 path, whereas the notch is generated when there occurs the phase difference of 180 degrees. Further, the notch is not generated when the phase passing the 1-3-4 path is the same as the phase passing the 1-4 path, whereas the notch is generated when there occurs the phase difference of 180 degrees. Therefore, in FIG. 3C, the notch is not generated for In phase, but the Multi L-notch is generated for Out of phase, and in FIG. 3D, the notch is not generated for In phase, but the Multi C-notch is generated for Out of phase.


Here, the coupling between the cavity filters 100 using the metal resonator is generally generated in the longitudinal direction, and implemented in an even mode with the same phase, and the coupling between the dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 using the dielectric resonator is generally generated in the transverse direction, and implemented in the even mode with the same phase. In other words, a coupling mode between filters of the same types is implemented in the even mode with the same phase, but as in the multi-type filter assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the coupling mode induction method for the coupling mode between the filters of different types is different.


Referring to FIGS. 4A to 4C, the cavity filter 100 and the dielectric resonator filter 210 are provided in adjacent cavities, respectively. Hereinafter, for the convenience of explanation, the cavity provided with the cavity filter 100 is referred to as a ‘reference cavity 10’, and the cavity provided with the dielectric resonator filter 210 is referred to as an ‘adjacent cavity 21’.


A partition wall 300 is formed between the reference cavity 10 and the adjacent cavity 21, and the partition wall 300 can be provided with a window 300a that communicates the reference cavity 10 and the adjacent cavity 21 by cutting a part of the partition wall 300.



FIGS. 4A to 4C shows a case where the window 300a is formed to have one side (top in FIG. 4C) eccentrically communicate, and when the direction of the electric-field of the cavity filter 100 faces upward on the drawing, referring to FIG. 4C, it can be seen that the direction of the electric-field generated in the dielectric resonator filter 210 in the adjacent cavity 21 is an even mode direction, that is, a clockwise direction on the drawing.


Meanwhile, FIGS. 5A to 5C show a case where the window 300 is formed to have the other side (bottom in FIG. 5C) eccentrically communicate, and when the direction of the electric-field of the cavity filter 100 faces upward on the drawing, referring to FIG. 5C, it can be seen that the direction of the electric-field generated in the dielectric resonator filter 210 in the adjacent cavity 21 is an odd mode direction, that is, a counter clockwise direction on the drawing.


As described above, in the transverse mode of the dielectric resonator filter 210, the coupling changed in connection with the longitudinal mode of the cavity filter 100 depending upon a change (or location) of the shape of the window 300a can be generated. At this time, as described above, the cross coupling can be generated when the phase difference of 180 degrees is generated using the mode direction, that is, the even mode and the odd mode of the dielectric resonator filter 210.


In other words, the multi-type filter assembly according to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure to be described later includes the cavity filter 100 provided in the reference cavity 10 among the plurality of cavities formed in the housing 1 to be opened to one side thereof, and the dielectric resonator filters 210, 220 or 210, 220, 230 provided in at least two adjacent cavities 21, or 21, 22, 23 adjacent to the reference cavity 10, respectively, and the windows 310a, 320a or 310a, 320a, 330a can be eccentrically designed at locations laterally different from each other around the center so that the notch characteristics between the cavity filter 100 and the at least two dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 are adjusted by the windows 310a, 320a or 310a, 320a, 330a that communicate with each other by cutting parts of partition walls 310, 320 or 310, 320, 330 between the reference cavity 10 and the adjacent cavities 21, 22, 23. Here, the windows 310a, 320a or 310a, 320a, 330a are preferably cut and formed to have a predetermined height from bottom surfaces of the reference cavity 10 and the adjacent cavities 21, 22 or 21, 22, 23. According to the exemplary embodiment, the windows 310a, 320a or 310a, 320a, 330a can be cut and formed deeper or higher than the intermediate heights of the reference cavity 10 and the adjacent cavities 21, 22 or 21, 22, 23.



FIGS. 6A to 7B are diagrams showing C-notch generation design proposals according to the location of the window between two dielectric resonator filters adjacent to one cavity filter and graphs of the results thereof, and FIGS. 8A to 9B are diagrams showing L-notch generation design proposals according to the location of the window between two dielectric resonator filters adjacent to one cavity filter and graphs of the results thereof.


As shown in FIGS. 6A to 7B, according to the multi-type filter assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when assuming that two dielectric resonator filters 210, 220 are provided and provided adjacent to each other, and defining the dielectric filter as a first dielectric filter 210 and a second dielectric filter 220, the windows 310a, 320a can include a first window 310a formed on the partition wall 310 between the cavity filter 100 and a first dielectric filter 210 and a second window 320a formed on the partition wall 310 between the cavity filter 100 and a second dielectric filter 220.


Here, to generate the C-notch between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210, as shown in FIG. 6A, the first window 310a can be cut and formed to be eccentric to the inside that is a boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the C-notch is formed on the left of a passband by the first window 310a between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210.


At this time, it can be confirmed that even if the location of the second window 320a originally formed by being cut and formed to be eccentric to the inside that is the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220 is changed to the outside that is the opposite side of the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220 as shown in FIG. 7A, referring to FIG. 7B, this does not affect the C-notch previously generated on the left of the passband by the first window 310a between the cavity filter 100 and a first dielectric filter 210.


Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, to generate the L-notch between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210, the first window 310a can be cut and formed to be eccentric to the outside that is the opposite side to the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220. Referring to FIG. 8B, the L-notch is formed on the right of the passband by the first window 310a between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210.


Further, here, it can be confirmed that even if the location of the second window 320a originally formed by being cut and formed to be eccentric to the inside that is the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220 is changed to the outside that is the opposite side of the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220 as shown in FIG. 9A, referring to FIG. 9B, this does not affect the L-notch previously generated on the right of the passband by the cavity filter 100 and the first window 310a of the first dielectric filter 210.



FIGS. 10A to 10C are diagrams showing a first notch generation design proposal according to the location of the window between three dielectric resonator filters adjacent to one cavity filter and a graph of the results thereof, and FIGS. 11A to 11C are diagrams showing a second notch generation design proposal according to the location of the window between three dielectric resonator filters adjacent to one cavity filter and a graph of the results thereof.


As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B and FIGS. 11A and 11B, according to a multi-type filter assembly according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when assuming that three dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 are provided and provided adjacent to each other near the reference cavity 10, defining the dielectric filter located on the center among the dielectric filters as the first dielectric filter 210, and defining the dielectric filter located on one side of the first dielectric filter 210 as the second dielectric filter 220, and the dielectric filter located on the other side of the first dielectric filter 210 as a third dielectric filter 230, the window 300 can include the first window 310a formed on the partition wall 310 between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210, the second window 320a formed on the partition wall 320 between the cavity filter 100 and the second dielectric filter 220, and a third window 330a formed on the partition wall 330 between the cavity filter 100 and the third dielectric filter 230.


Here, to generate the multi C-notch between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the first window 310a can be cut and formed to be eccentric to the inside that is a boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the third dielectric filter 230. Further, the second window 320a can be cut and formed to be eccentric to the inside or the outside that is the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220.


Conversely, to generate the multi L-notch between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the first window 310a can be cut and formed to be eccentric to the outside that is the opposite side to the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the third dielectric filter 230. Here, the second window 320a can be cut and formed to be eccentric to the inside or the outside that is the boundary portion between the first dielectric filter 210 and the second dielectric filter 220.


As described above, the multi C-notch or the multi L-notch can be easily formed between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210 that is the dielectric filter located on the center among the plurality of dielectric filters, and the second dielectric filter 220 located on one side thereof.



FIGS. 12A to 12C are diagrams showing a third notch generation design proposal according to the location of the window 300 between three dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 adjacent to one cavity filter 100 and a graph of the results thereof.


As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, according to a multi-type filter assembly according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when assuming that three dielectric resonator filters 210, 220, 230 are provided and provided adjacent to each other near the reference cavity 10, defining the dielectric filter located on the center among the dielectric filters as the first dielectric filter 210, and defining the dielectric filter located on one side of the first dielectric filter 210 as the second dielectric filter 220, and the dielectric filter located on the other side of the first dielectric filter 210 as a third dielectric filter 230, the window 300 includes the second window 320a not formed between the cavity filter 100 and the first dielectric filter 210 but formed on the partition wall 320 between the cavity filter 100 and the second dielectric filter 220, and the third window 330a formed on the partition wall 330 between the cavity filter 100 and the third dielectric filter 230.


Here, to generate the C-notch between the cavity filter 100 and the second dielectric filter 220, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the second window 320a can be cut and formed to be eccentric to the inside provided with the first dielectric filter 210. At this time, referring to FIG. 12C, it can be confirmed that the cut location of the third window 330a does not affect the C-notch formed through the second window 320a at all.


As described above, the multi-type filter assembly according to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure can be variously designed even with no separate member such as the coupling metal bar when strengthening the cross coupling characteristics between the reference cavity 10 and the adjacent cavities 21, 22, 23, thereby presenting the standards between the filters applied in the multi-type.
