摘要: 渐变鳍线阵在空间功率合成放大器中具有重要的应用价值。该文简化渐变鳍线阵的模型,将渐变鳍线阵设计等效为TE模式波阻抗的渐变阻抗变换,采用谱域导纳法计算渐变鳍线阵的传播常数,依据小反射理论,提出一种新型基于Hecken形式的紧凑、宽带渐变鳍线阵。利用高频仿真软件HFSS进行优化仿真设计,通过引入槽线微带过渡电路,实际加工了X波段22鳍线阵,背靠背测试结果表明:在X波段(8~12 GHz)内,反射系数小于-12 dB,插入损耗小于1 dB,实测结果与理论计算吻合。该文系统地给出渐变鳍线阵设计优化的理论计算和仿真方法,对基于波导内空间功率合成模块设计具有指导意义,具有良好的工程应用前景。Abstract: Tapered finline array plays an important role in waveguide-based spatial power combiner. This paper presents a simplified model of tapered finline array by taking it as a tapered TE mode wave impedance transformer. The spectral domain admittance method is applied for deriving the propagation constant. Based on the small reflection theory, a new compact and broadband Hecken finline taper array is proposed. The structure is simulated and optimized by HFSS. By introducing slotline-to-microstrip line transition, the finline array in X-band is manufactured. The back-to-back test results of optimal 22 Hecken finline taper arrays consistent with theoretical values show that the return coefficient is less than -12 dB and the insert loss is less than 1 dB in X-band (8~12 GHz). This paper presents the method of analysis and design of the finline array, and provides a guideline for designing the waveguide-based power combiner. It serves as a promising circuit for power combining.
