    摘要:

    提出了一种基于紧凑型过渡结构的低变频损耗太赫兹宽带三次谐波混频器。混频器中的紧凑型过渡结构,位于射频端波导内部,由电路正面的悬置带线和背面的三角形过渡段两部分组成,用于提高混频器的带宽,优化变频损耗。其中,悬置带线末端位于波导内射频信号电场的最大值处,正上方放置具有一对串联肖特基结的混频二极管,形成单平衡混频电路,使得射频信号仅与本振信号的奇次谐波混频,减少无效谐波分量。背面的三角形过渡段降低了悬置带线与射频波导之间的不连续性,有利于实现宽带匹配及混频电路小型化。混频器电路介质基板总尺寸为5.1 mm×6.9 mm×0.127 mm,实测结果表明,在135-165 GHz范围,混频器的单边带变频损耗为10.8-15.7 dB,典型值为13.0 dB,中频频率范围为0-15 GHz。

    Abstract:

    A fixed-tuned D-band third-harmonic mixer is presented with broad bandwidth and low conversion loss (CL) based on a compact transition-match structure (CTMS). The CTMS is composed of a short suspended stripline (SSLIN) on the top side and a triangle-shaped transition on the bottom side, located in the radio frequency (RF) waveguide. The mixing diode with two Schottky junctions in series is located directly on the short SSLIN in the RF waveguide, designed to be at the maximum of the electrical field of the RF signal. The single balanced configuration is then achieved, and the RF signal is only mixed with the odd harmonics of the local oscillator (LO) signal. The triangle-shaped transition helps to minimize the discontinuity between the waveguide and the microstrip circuits. The mixing circuit is miniaturized and the mixer bandwidth is broadened benefiting from the CTMS. Dimension of the circuit substrate is 5.1 mm×6.9 mm×0.127 mm. The measured results indicate that the single-side band (SSB) CL of the mixer is typically 13.0 dB, and ranges from 10.8 dB to 15.7 dB over 135-165 GHz. The instantaneous intermediate frequency (IF) is available up to 15 GHz. Keywords: terahertz (THz); wideband; third-harmonic mixer
