    • 摘要: 文章针对宽带接收前端开关滤波通带划分和抑制冗余,提出了一种能精确给出开关滤波器通带划分和带外抑制指标的设计方法。首先,通过分析一中频选择需要考虑前级开关滤波器,一混频器,镜频抑制滤波器等方面,给出一中频和一本振频率,然后,经过混频器杂波精确测量和预算分析,得出开关滤波器频段划分依据和带外抑制指标。开关滤波器芯片测试表明:第一通带在38 GHz抑制40 dBc,达到设计指标。Ka宽带接收前端测试结果表明:增益≥56 dB,带内杂波≤−55 dBc,带外杂波≤−45 dBc,整个射频输入33 GHz~40 GHz范围内增益一致性≤2.8 dB,噪声系数≤8 dB。开关滤波器和Ka宽带接收前端测试结果说明此设计方法的有效性,可广泛应用于各种宽带超宽带接收前端设备中。

       

      Abstract: Aiming at the passband division and suppression redundancy of the switching filter in broadband receiving front-end, a design method which can accurately give the passband division and out-of-band suppression index of the switching filter is proposed. First of all, by analyzing the selection of the first IF frequency need to consider the front switching filter,the first mixer, mirror frequency rejection filter, etc., the first IF frequency and the first local oscillator frequency are given. Then, through the accurate measurement of mixer spur and analysis, the division and out-of-band rejection index of switching filter frequency are obtained. The test of the switch filter chip shows that the first pass band can suppress 40 dBc at 38 GHz, which reaches the design target. Ka-band broadband receiver front-end test results show that gain ≥56 dB, in-band spur ≤−55 dBc, out-of-band spur ≤−45 dBc, gain consistency ≤2.8 dB and noise coefficient ≤8 dB in the entire RF input range of 33 GHz~40 GHz. The test results of switching filter and Ka broadband receiving front-end show the effectiveness of this design method, which can be widely used in various broadband and UWB(Ultra-wide Band) receiving front-end devices.
