摘要:
A re-entrant microwave resonant cavity comprises a stub 6. A cylindrical wall 2, first end wall 3 and the stub 6 are integrally formed. A second end wall 4 is defined by a metallization layer 8 deposited on a printed circuit board substrate 9. The parts are joined using surface mount soldering processes. The end 11 of the stub 6 defines a gap 12. A rostrum 14 faces the end of the stub 6. The rostrum 14 is manufactured separately and then fixed to the substrate 9. A dielectric sphere 16 is located between the end 11 of the probe stub 6 and the rostrum 14. The dielectric sphere 16 maintains the gap size during use and aids in correct positioning of the parts during manufacture.

In order to calibrate in amplitude and phase the individual transceiver elements (4) of an active antenna array for a mobile telecommunications network, each transceiver element including a transmit and a receive path (8, 10) coupled to an antenna element (12), each transceiver element includes a comparator (100) for comparing phase and amplitude of transmitted or received signals with reference signals in order to adjust the characteristics of the antenna beam. In order to provide an accurate means of reference signal distribution, a feed arrangement distributes the reference signals and includes a waveguide (50) of a predetermined length which is terminated at one end (52) in order to set up a standing wave system along its length, and a plurality of coupling points (56) at predetermined points along the length of the waveguide, which are each coupled to a comparator of a respective transceiver element.

A re-entrant resonant cavity 12 includes a first metallized molded plastic component 18, which comprises a re-entrant stub 17, an end wall 14 and a cylindrical side wall 13. The component 18 is surface mount soldered to a metallized PCB substrate 19. A rostrum 24 is located facing the end face 21 of the stub 17 to define a capacitive gap 22 with it. The end face 21 of the stub 17 and the rostrum 24 are configured such that relative rotation between them changes the profile of the gap 22 and hence the gap capacitance. By suitably locating the two parts during manufacture, a particular capacitance may be chosen to give a desired resonance frequency from a selection available depending on the relative angular position of the stub 17 and rostrum 24. In another cavity, the rostrum is replaced by an etched metallization layer of a printed circuit board.

The invention is related to cavity resonators, a method for producing a cavity resonator, and a band pass filter system comprising cavity resonators. A cavity resonator (100) according to the invention comprises a printed circuit-board (10); an upper electrically conductive cap (20) having a three-dimensional structure (21); and a lower electrically conductive cap (30) having a three-dimensional structure (31). The structures of the upper cap (20) and the lower cap (30) are identical and the two caps (20, 30) are mounted on opposite sides of the printed circuit-board (10).

A cavity resonator (20) having temperature compensation which comprises a pot (21) and a cover (22), which together enclose a cavity resonance volume (V). The pot (21) comprises a first material, which has a first temperature expansion coefficient (α1) and the cover (22) comprises a second material, which has a second temperature expansion coefficient (α2). The second temperature expansion coefficient (α2) is greater than the first temperature expansion coefficient (α1), and an expansion of the pot (21) and a deformation of the cover (22) results upon a temperature increase, which each independently and also together cause an enlargement of the cavity resonance volume (V). Simultaneously, the resonance frequency remains essentially constant.

The invention concerns a radio frequency transmitter (RFT) and a method of amplifying a radio frequency input signal (SIN) in the radio frequency transmitter (RFT). The radio frequency transmitter (RFT) comprises a digital signal generator (DSG) with a generation unit (GU) adapted to generate a pulsed bit stream signal and a switch mode power amplifier (SMPA) with a transistor circuit (PT) adapted to amplify the radio frequency input signal (SIN). The digital signal generator (DSG) further comprises a control unit (CU) adapted to detect in said pulsed bit stream signal a sequence of a constant signal height longer than a predefined threshold. The control unit (CU) is also adapted to initiate, upon detection of said sequence, a generation of a modified pulsed bit stream signal by an insertion of one or more notches in said sequence. Said notches interrupt said sequence by a signal of a signal height different from the signal height of the sequence. The radio frequency transmitter (RFT) further comprises connecting means (CM) adapted to provide said transistor circuit (PT) with said modified pulsed bit stream signal as the radio frequency input signal (SIN).

An antenna (10) having an emitter element which is positioned in front of a conductive reflector (13) and has a three-dimensional cast part. The cast part is implemented as conductive and has a closed peripheral structure (11) having alternating constrictions and bulges. The peripheral structure (11) spans an imaginary surface (14) which is intersected by at least two planes of symmetry (15.1, 15.3) of the cast part. At least two fastening elements (12.1, 12.2) are provided, which extend essentially perpendicular to the imaginary surface (14) and support the peripheral structure (11) at two points which lie on one of the planes of symmetry (15.1; 15.3). At the lower ends (16), the fastening elements (12.1, 12.2) are connected to the reflector (13), the fastening elements (12.1, 12.2) also being used for electrical excitation of the emitter element.
