Microwave component of cavity type
A microwave component of cavity type includes an integral cavity and a microwave network circuit disposed in the cavity. The cavity has multiple enclosing walls and a chamber defined by said multiple enclosing walls. The chamber is intended for accommodating the microwave network circuit therein. A wiring slot is defined in at least one of the enclosing walls, and at least one first through hole extended through the chamber is provided on each wiring slot. The microwave component of cavity type features small size, simple structure, and wide application. Furthermore, cost may be reduced, batch production may be achieved, use of fasteners such as screws is avoided, and the passive inter-modulation products caused by fasteners are eliminated, as the microwave component is secured without any screws.
1. A microwave component of cavity type, comprising:
an integral cavity body; and
a microwave network circuit arranged within the cavity body;
wherein the cavity body is formed by extrusion and includes multiple enclosing walls and one or more chambers defined by said multiple enclosing walls;
wherein the chamber is configured to accommodate the microwave network circuit therein; and
wherein a wiring slot is defined in at least one of the enclosing walls, and at least one first through hole extended through the chamber is provided on each wiring slot;
wherein a number of wiring slots are defined in a same enclosing wall; and
wherein each wiring slot is provided with said first through hole for arranging a transmission cable along a respective wiring slot and permitting the transmission cable passing through the first through hole to connect with the microwave network circuit so as to form a connection port.
2. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first hole is arranged such that an axis of the first through hole is inclined with respect to a longitudinal direction of the microwave component.
3. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 2 , wherein the above inclination angle in the range of 30° to 150°.
4. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein each enclosing wall, on which wiring slot is not provided, of the cavity, is provided with an operation hole corresponding to a respective first through hole.
5. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein each said wiring slot is set in a layered or segmented manner.
6. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein two opposite or adjacent enclosing walls are provided with the wiring slots respectively; and each wiring slot is provided with said first through hole for arranging a transmission cable along a respective wiring slot and permitting the transmission cable passing through the first through hole to connect with the microwave network circuit so as to form a connection port.
7. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein the wiring slot is connected and secured with an outer conductor of the cable by solder; and an inner conductor of the cable is allowed to pass through the first through hole and extend into the cavity to connect with the microwave network circuit.
8. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of two end surfaces along the longitudinal direction of the microwave component of cavity type is not provided with enclosing walls such that an opening is predefined therein through which the microwave network circuit is able to connect to an external operation element.
9. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein a holding groove is defined in each of a pair of opposed enclosing walls of the cavity along a longitudinal direction for holding a base plate of the microwave network circuit in place.
10. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein an embossment is provided in an inner wall of each of a pair of opposite enclosing walls of the cavity along a longitudinal direction for separating the cavity.
11. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein the base plate of the microwave network circuit is provided with a metal welding piece at two sides thereof and said metal welding piece is welded inside the cavity.
12. The microwave component of cavity type as recited in claim 1 , wherein the microwave network circuit is a phase shifter circuit, filter circuit, power divider circuit, coupler circuit, diplexer circuit or combiner circuit.
