With the development of Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication technology and Wireless communication technology, filters are widely applied in communication and signal processing processes, the requirements of radio frequency front end design on signal selectivity and in-band and out-band are higher and higher, and especially the design of filters puts forward higher requirements: such as high performance, miniaturization, low cost, effectively filtering various useless signals and stray signals, and reducing signal interference among communication channels.
In recent years, compared with other fields, the WIFI communication technology is rapidly developed, more and more spectrum resources exist in product design, the higher the frequency is, the stronger the interference is, the larger the generated harmonic and high-order stray power are, and the design difficulty of the radio frequency filter is brought, so that higher requirements are put forward on the filter: for example, wide stop band, good in-band amplitude-frequency characteristics, high out-of-band rejection and low cost.
At present, a filter is designed by adopting discrete components, the filter is widely applied to a radio frequency circuit, but the filter obtains higher out-of-band rejection characteristics, the order of the filter needs to be increased, the cost is increased due to the increase of the order, and microstrip filters are more and more applied and designed, wherein the interdigital mode, the parallel coupling and the hairpin type have flatter amplitude-frequency characteristics in band but occupy large space, and the out-of-band of the ellipse-like structure has higher selectivity but is not suitable for the design of higher frequency; based on this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a filtering structure and a filter, and compared with a filter and various microstrip filters designed by using discrete components in the existing scheme, the filtering structure and the filter scheme can achieve low insertion loss in band, good selectivity, high out-of-band rejection degree, low cost, and can also achieve the solution of size design difficulty on the limited product area, and alleviate the defects of the existing communication product that the selectivity of the radio frequency front end channel and the filter formed by the used discrete devices are high in cost and the design is caused by the structure and performance of various microstrip filters. In addition, for the design of the radio frequency front end of a WIFI product, the finished product is gradually miniaturized and integrated, various high-speed interfaces, such as DDR3, PCIE, USB3.0, PHY, SGMII, PGMII, SFP, etc., and communication frequency spectrums of each public network, local oscillation frequency and high-order harmonic of a radio frequency chip themselves are easily radiated and interfered with each other through space, resulting in nonlinearity of the radio frequency front end, therefore, a filter designed by the radio frequency front end requires a wide stop band, a high suppression degree, a low differential loss, a small size and a low cost.

In an alternative embodiment, the substrate 30 is rectangular, two rows of metal vias 50 are arranged on the substrate parallel to two long sides of the substrate, and the filter structure is located between the two parallel rows of metal vias.
Specifically, this embodiment provides a design case of a WiFi 5.8G filter, the frequency is 5180-5850 MHz, see fig. 2, the filter is a miniaturized high-rejection coupled cavity filter, and includes an input feed port P1, an output feed port P2, a first branch 101, a first resonant cavity 10 and a second resonant cavity 20, where the first resonant cavity 10 includes a first connection portion 103, a second connection portion 105, and a third connection portion 104, the first connection portion 103 includes a first vertical line portion 1031 and a first horizontal line portion 1032 that are connected, and the second connection portion 105 includes a second vertical line portion 1051 and a second horizontal line portion 1052 that are connected; the second resonant cavity 20 includes a fourth connecting portion 102, a fifth connecting portion 107 and a sixth connecting portion 106, the fourth connecting portion 102 includes a fourth vertical line portion 1021 and a fourth horizontal line portion 1022 which are connected; the sixth connecting portion 106 includes a sixth vertical line portion 1061 and a sixth horizontal line portion 1062 connected to each other; in this filter, a coupling structure type "T" configuration unit 203, "U" configuration unit 202, "S" configuration unit 201 are formed.
Input terminalThe feeding port P1 is located at a connection between one end of the first branch 101 and the first resonant cavity 10, and the input end feeding port P1 and the first resonant cavity 10 (specifically, the first vertical line portion of the first resonant cavity) form a

The structure shape of each combined filter is of a 'II' shape, and the volume is reduced because the resonant cavity is not unfolded in one direction.
The first resonant cavity 10 is composed of a first connection portion 103, a second connection portion 105, and a third connection portion 104, and the second connection portion 105 and the third connection portion 104 are connected to the first connection portion 103 to form an S-shaped structure unit 201, i.e., an S-shaped coupling resonant cavity.

In this embodiment, the first resonant cavity is a Step Impedance Resonator (SIR), which is a low-pass filter structure with open stub loading of a capacitive gap coupled resonant cavity, and has a function of suppressing harmonics. The low-pass filter indirectly achieves the purpose of inhibiting second-order harmonic waves by controlling the impedance ratio of SIR and the central frequency position of a second-order harmonic wave pass band.
Specifically, the low-pass filter loaded with open-circuit branches is at a quarter wavelength fLGenerating a transmission zero at the frequency, at even frequency multiplication fLA transmission zero point is also generated at the position (2N), and in order to avoid the transmission zero point of even frequency multiplication falling in a pass band, S is adoptedThe position of the central frequency of the second harmonic pass band of the filter can be adjusted by adjusting the impedance ratio of the SIR resonator through IR capacitance gap coupling. The structure can shift the even frequency multiplication transmission zero point to higher frequency offset, and has the advantage of harmonic suppression.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a capacitive gap-coupled microstrip SIR resonator according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the SIR resonator has a symmetrical structure and characteristic impedances Z at the middle and both ends1And Z2Each having an electrical length of 2 theta1And theta2，θR＝2(θ1+θ2) Impedance ratio K ═ Z2/Z1. The input admittance of the SIR resonator when the terminal is open is as follows:
when theta 1 is equal to theta 2, the equal SIR resonator formula is simplified to be
According to the electromagnetic field theory as YinWhen 0, the SIR satisfies the resonance condition so that K is tan2Theta, i.e. tan theta-K1/2. Let the harmonic response center frequency be FSN(where n is 1,2,3, …) corresponds to an electrical length θ sn, tan θs1＝∞，tan2θs2-K＝0，tanθs3The electrical length of the second order parasitic passband is at a minimum of pi/2, so there is fs1/f0＝θs1/θ0＝π/2tan-1K1/2It can be seen that different impedance ratios of the SIR resonators will cause the second order harmonic center frequencies to be located differently, and therefore the center frequency of the second order harmonic passband can be controlled by adjusting the impedance ratio of the SIR. For example, when SIR resonator impedance ratio K is 1/2, the center frequency of the second order harmonic passband is 2.55fLTo (3).
In this embodiment, the second resonant cavity is a low-pass filter with an SIR coupled inside the open-loop microstripSimilar to an elliptic function filter, the electric length of the resonator can be reduced, the circuit size can be reduced, and the stop band can be widened by adopting a low-impedance coupling structure and a loading capacitance technology formed by the coupling effect of the open end of the open loop. By adjusting the coupling gap of the microstrip ring and changing the loading capacitance, the resonance frequency of the microstrip open-circuit ring changes along with the change of the ring, the center frequency of the parasitic passband can be moved, the periodic frequency response of the transmission line is solved, and the characteristic of the passband is not influenced. Obtaining transmission zero at finite frequency by means of quarter-wave open circuit, resulting in resonant frequency fH. Lumped parameter equivalent circuit referring to fig. 6, L5 can be replaced by a high impedance line, the equivalent capacitance C4 formed by coupling, and the series resonator L4C2 is replaced by a quarter-wave open line. The resulting circuit produces a transmission pole 2f at the L4C2 resonanceH。
It should be noted that the selectivity of the transmission pole is related to the coupling effect, and generally, the coupling gap is reduced, the better the selectivity is, and the wider the stop band is.
In this embodiment, in the filter, the resonant cavities are configured in a capacitive gap coupling manner and a microstrip open-loop internal coupling manner (an equivalent circuit thereof is shown in fig. 7), and a "T" type unit electromagnetic coupling manner is formed by 2 resonant cavities, so that the filter has a better passband and a high suppression out-of-band selectivity. The T-shaped structural unit has low-pass band-stop and single-pole resonance characteristics, wherein a single T-shaped structural unit can be equivalent to a band-stop filter with L3 and C3 connected in parallel, EM (electromagnetic simulation) is carried out on the filter, and as shown in figure 8, a transmission coefficient S can be obtained21Transmission coefficient S obtained by EM electromagnetic simulation21Can extract:
where ω c is the 3dB cutoff frequency, ω 0 is the resonance frequency, and Z0 is the characteristic impedance of the filter.
In the equivalent model, the main characteristic of the thin wire above the slot of the T-shaped structural unit is inductance L3 in the equivalent circuit, and the main characteristic of the slot of the T-shaped structural unit is capacitance C3 in the equivalent circuit. The length of a transverse gap of the T-shaped structural unit is increased, the inductance value L3 is increased, and the resonant frequency is reduced; the length of a vertical gap of the T-shaped structural unit is increased, which is equivalent to the increase of a capacitance value C3 in an equivalent circuit, so that the resonant frequency is reduced; the width of a vertical gap in the T-shaped structural unit is increased, the capacitance is reduced, and the resonant frequency is increased.
To test the performance of the filter, the input feed port P1 and the output feed port P2 of the filter were used to externally connect a load with an impedance of 50 ohms, respectively, as shown in fig. 6. Fig. 8 shows an S-parameter simulation diagram of the filter. In fig. 8, the horizontal axes each represent the signal frequency of the filter, the vertical axes of the respective curves represent different amplitudes, and the m points on the curves are frequency test points. S11 (corresponding to S (1,1) in fig. 8) and S22 (corresponding to S (2,2) in fig. 8) respectively represent parameters of the input feed port P1 and output feed port P2 impedance matching performance of the filter; s21 (corresponding to S (2,1) in fig. 8) represents the forward transmission curve of the filter. Therefore, the filter has the characteristics of low insertion loss in a pass band, high suppression degree, wider stop band, low cost, small size and the like.
