    • 摘要: 针对高端测量仪器以及光通信测试等需求,设计了一种工作频率范围为DC~90 GHz的超宽带单刀双掷同轴开关。通过对开关的整体结构优化并运用HFSS软件分别对同轴连接器、屏蔽带状线以及同轴-屏蔽带状线过渡段进行匹配仿真优化,结合整体匹配优化,最终实现超宽带匹配传输。对最后设计通过制造出的DC~90 GHz超宽带同轴开关进行了实物测试,验证了该设计方法的正确性和设计结果的准确性。结果表明,在DC~90 GHz的工作频率范围内,同轴开关的电压驻波比小于1.65,插入损耗小于1.20 dB,隔离度大于70 dB,负载端驻波比小于1.60,可满足微波毫米波测试及光通信测试等多个高端测试需求。

       

      Abstract: In response to the demands for high-end measurement instruments and optical communication testing, a ultra-wideband single-pole double-throw coaxial switch with a working frequency range of DC~90 GHz has been designed. By optimizing the overall structure of the switch and using HFSS software to simulate and optimize the matching of the coaxial connector, shielded stripline, and the transition section between coaxial and shielded stripline, combined with overall matching optimization, and ultimately achieve ultra-wideband matching transmission. The final design was physically tested on a manufacture d DC~90 GHz ultra-wideband coaxial switch, verifying the correctness of the design method and the accuracy of the design results. The results show that within the working frequency range of DC~90 GHz, the voltage standing wave ratio of the coaxial switch is less than 1.65, the insertion loss is less than 1.20 dB, the isolation is greater than 70 dB, and the load end standing wave ratio is less than 1.60, which can meet various high-end testing needs such as microwave and millimeter-wave testing and optical communication testing.
