Detailed Description

in order to explain technical contents, structural features, and objects and effects of the present invention in detail, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the present invention provides a tunable filter, which includes a housing 100, a partition 001, a feeding structure 300 and a plurality of tubes 200, wherein the housing 100 is hollow, the partition 001 is disposed in the hollow of the housing 100 and is fixedly connected to the housing 100, the partition 001 divides the housing 100 into a first resonant cavity 101, a second resonant cavity 102 and a third cavity 103, the first resonant cavity 101 and the second resonant cavity 102 are symmetrically disposed, the third cavity 103 is disposed at one side of the first resonant cavity 101 and the second resonant cavity 102, the feeding structure 300 is disposed in the third cavity 103, the partition 001 between the first resonant cavity 101 and the second resonant cavity 102 is provided with a first opening 002, and the partition 001 between the first resonant cavity 101 and the third cavity 103 and between the second resonant cavity 102 and the third cavity 103 is provided with a second opening 003. The tube 200 includes five tubes 200, the five tubes 200 are respectively disposed in the first resonant cavity 101, the second resonant cavity 102, the first opening 002 and the two second openings 003, bottom ends of the five tubes 200 are fixedly connected to a bottom surface of the housing 100, top ends of the five tubes 200 extend out of a top surface of the housing 100, and a solution 004 is disposed in the five tubes 200.

it should be noted that the number of the first resonant cavities 101 is equal to the number of the second resonant cavities 102, and the total number of the first resonant cavities 101 and the second resonant cavities 102 is not limited to two, that is, the total number of the first resonant cavities 101 and the second resonant cavities 102 is 2n, where n is a natural number greater than 1. In addition, each additional first cavity 101 and second cavity 102 has a corresponding additional first opening 002 and three tubes 200.

it should be further noted that the second openings 003 are respectively opened on the partition 001 between two adjacent first resonators 101 and the partition 001 between two adjacent second resonators 102.

In the actual working process, energy passes through the feeding structure 300 and enters the first resonant cavity 101 through the second opening 003 between the first resonant cavity 101 and the third cavity 103 and the tube 200 arranged in the second opening 003, and at this time, the energy entering the first resonant cavity 101 can be controlled by changing the volume of the solution 004 in the tube 200 arranged in the second opening 003, that is, the external Q value is controlled; after energy enters the first resonant cavity 101, the movement of frequency can be controlled by changing the volume of the solution 004 in the tube 200 in the first resonant cavity 101; then, the energy enters the second resonant cavity 102 through the first opening 002 and the tube 200 disposed in the first opening 002, and at this time, the amount of the energy entering the second resonant cavity 102 can be controlled by changing the volume of the solution 004 in the tube 200 disposed in the first opening 002, that is, the coupling coefficient is controlled; after energy enters the second resonant cavity 102, the movement of the frequency can be controlled by changing the volume of the solution 004 in the tube 200 in the second resonant cavity 102; finally, the energy is output through the feeding structure 300 via the second opening 003 between the second cavity 102 and the third cavity 103 and the tube 200 disposed in the second opening 003.

Preferably, the first resonant cavity 101 and the second resonant cavity 102 are identical square cavities, and the third resonant cavity 103 is a rectangular cavity.

Preferably, the baffle 001 is a "T" shaped plate.

Preferably, the first opening 002 and the two second openings 003 are rectangular openings.

From the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the dielectric constant of the solution in the tube bodies arranged in the first resonant cavity and the second resonant cavity is greater than the relative dielectric constant of air, at the moment, the equivalent wavelength is lengthened, the frequency is lowered, and the movement of the frequency can be controlled by changing the volumes of the solution in the tube bodies arranged in the first resonant cavity and the second resonant cavity; the solution in the tube body arranged in the first opening plays a coupling role, namely the effect of blocking energy from entering the second resonant cavity from the first resonant cavity, and the coupling coefficient, namely the energy entering the second resonant cavity can be changed by changing the volume of the solution in the tube body arranged in the first opening; the two solutions in the tube bodies arranged in the second opening respectively play roles of preventing energy from entering the first resonant cavity and outputting the energy from the second resonant cavity, and the size of an external Q value can be controlled by changing the volume of the two solutions in the tube bodies arranged in the second opening, namely the amount of the energy entering the first resonant cavity is controlled. When the frequency is changed, the external Q value and the coupling coefficient are changed to a greater or lesser extent, too high external Q value results in very little accessible energy, too low coupling coefficient also results in insufficient accessible energy, and the performance of the passband is not ideal. In order to avoid the influence caused by the change of the external Q value and the coupling coefficient, the external Q value and the coupling coefficient can be manually controlled while the frequency is changed, namely, the volumes of the solution in the two pipe bodies arranged in the first resonant cavity and the second resonant cavity are changed, and the volumes of the solution in the two pipe bodies arranged in the second opening and the solution in the pipe body arranged in the first opening are manually changed to obtain the required performance, so that the adjustable range of the filter is improved.
