一种高选择性可调带通与带阻可切换滤波器

设计了一种高选择性可调带通与带阻可切换微带滤波器。在微带谐振器及枝节末端加载变容二极管实现中心频率的可调;在输入与输出端口馈线之间,利用PIN二极管实现滤波器阻带和通带特性的切换。采用奇偶模的方法对滤波器结构进行分析,通过对奇偶模频率的调节实现了频率调节过程中的恒定绝对带宽。同时,在输入与输出馈线间引入源与负载耦合,使得频带两侧各有一个传输零点,且传输零点在整个频率调谐范围内相对位置几乎不变。因此,在整个频率调节范围内,滤波器实现了高选择性及良好的带外抑制能力。最终设计出的可调带阻滤波器的频率调谐范围为5.58～5.89 GHz,绝对带宽80 MHz±5 MHz,阻带衰减优于14 dB;可调带通滤波器的频率调谐范围为5.42～5.79 GHz,绝对带宽120 MHz±5 MHz,插入损耗1.69～2.25 dB,回波损耗优于13 dB。同时,该滤波器具有0.28λ_g×0.62λ_g（λ_g是可调频率范围中心频率的波长）的紧凑结构尺寸。实验和仿真结果一致性较好。     

Mechanically tunable metamaterials terahertz dual-band bandstop filter

We experimentally demonstrate a mechanically tunable metamaterials terahertz(THz) dual-band bandstop filter. The unit cell of the filter contains an inner aluminum circle and an outside aluminum Ohm-ring on high resistance silicon substrate. The performance of the filter is simulated by finite-integration-time-domain(FITD) method. The sample is fabricated using a surface micromachining process and experimentally demonstrated using a THz time-domain-spectroscopy(TDS) system. The results show that, when the incident THz wave is polarized in y-axis, the filter has two intensive absorption peaks locating at 0.71 THz and 1.13 THz, respectively. The position of the high-frequency absorption peak and the amplitude of the low-frequency absorption peak can be simultaneously tuned by rotating the sample along its normal axis.The tunability of the high-frequency absorption peak is due to the shift of resonance frequency of two electrical dipoles,and that of the low-frequency absorption peak results from the effect of rotationally induced transparent. This tunable filter is very useful for switch, manipulation, and frequency selective detection of THz beam.     

包含源与负载耦合的滤波器诊断与调试方法

柯西法目前仅适用于诊断不包含源与负载耦合的带通滤波器。为解决这一问题,提出了一种能够诊断包含源与负载耦合的带通、带阻谐振腔滤波器的方法。利用遗传算法优化获得源与负载耦合系数并移除滤波器输入/输出端口处传输线引起的S参数的相位加载效应;使用柯西法一步确定仿真S参数对应的特征多项式;从获得的源与负载耦合系数和特征多项式中,利用已有的技术诊断出N+2阶耦合矩阵。此方法可用于指导滤波器的调试,通过对比理想的耦合矩阵与提取的耦合矩阵之间的差异,可确定滤波器问题出自何处以及调试的方向,从而加快滤波器的设计与实现。     

Interference filters from porous silicon with laterally varying wavelength of reflection

Porous silicon reflection interference filters of Bragg type consists of up to 40 quarter wave layers with alternating high- and low-refraction index. The refraction index depends on the porosity of the silicon. The reflection wavelength can vary over a wide range and depends on the thickness and refraction index of the porous layers. A laterally continuously varying wavelength with linear profile of the filter can be achieved by manipulating the porosity and thickness of the silicon in the lateral direction. Our approach is to vary the Fermi level laterally by applying a potential parallel to the surface of the wafer. The slope of the Fermi level is easily controlled by the magnitude of the potential. The lateral current density and thus the porosity and thickness is related to the potential difference between the laterally varying Fermi level and the potential induced by the counter electrode. This relation is the well-known current–voltage characteristic of a Silicon hydrofluoric acid contact. The linearity of the etch profile across the wafer is demonstrated and the properties of preliminary reflection filters are shown.     

Rigorous electromagnetic analysis of metallic cylindrical focusing micromirrors with high diffraction efficiency, achromatic aberration and long focal depth

In this paper, we propose a kind of metallic cylindrical focusing micromirrors (MCFMs) with parabolic profiles, and the focal performance is investigated based on rigorous electromagnetic theory and the boundary element method (BEM). Numerical results by the BEM show that the proposed MCFM possesses a high diffraction efficiency and axially achromatic aberration. In addition, through designing a modulating phase function, the MCFM holds long focal depth and high transverse resolution simultaneously. It is believed that the MCFM should have wide application prospects in micro-optical systems, such as micro solar concentrators.

Calculation of the spectral response of an arrayed-waveguide gating demultiplexer with a wide-angle beam propagation method in a cylindrical coordinate system

The spectral response of an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) demultiplexer is calculated by simulating the field propagation in the output section of an AWG with a wide-angle beam propagation method (BPM) in a cylindrical coordinate system. As in a practical design of an AWG demultiplexer, each output waveguide consists of two straight sections connected by a bending section. The spectral response obtained by the present algorithm is more accurate than those obtained with two popular approximate methods, namely, the conventional overlapped integral method and the standard BPM for radially straight and infinitely long output waveguides. With the present algorithm, the dependence of the spectral response on the parameters of the output section is analyzed. The channel crosstalk and the 3 dB passband width of the spectral response depend mainly on the length of the first straight section, the end separation and the angular separation of the output waveguides. The bending section results in an asymmetrical spectral response with remarkable sidelobes which can be reduced by increasing the bending radius.
