ABSTRACT
The resonance absorption by oxygen and water vapor will lead to a large
attenuation when the millimeterwave propagating in the aerosphere. As for oxygen,
there are many resonance absorption lines distributing over 50 to 70GHz. The high
pressure of the lower atmosphere can cause the effect of pressure broadening, which
will lead to a lot of overlap of resonance absorption lines with each other to form a
consecutive absorption band. The temperature profiles of the aerosphere can be deduced
by observing this strong absorption band with the V-band multi-channnel radiometer,
which is an important method in the meso-micro scale realtime weather monitoring and
forecasting. Therefor, this thesis makes some research on the following key technology
for V-band multi-channel radiometer front-end.
As for the need of building Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit (HMIC) module
with coplanar transmission line I/O ports Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit
(MMIC), research has been made on the transition from waveguide to coplanar
transmission line. Considering the integral structure, E-plane and H-plane transitions
have been designed respectively, which are integrated in a module by back-to-back
structure. The measured results of the back-to-back structure (a 6.6mm long coplanar
waveguide transmission line included) show that, in the whole V-band, the reflection
coefficient is better than -13dB, and the insertion loss is better than 1.1dB.
The division of different channels of the radiometer front-end can be realized by
using separate network. A magic-T with filters embedded in each output arms or a
splitter can be employed in the separate network according to the band overlap exists or
not between the two desired separate channels, respectively. For the desired 50 to 60
GHz frequency band, a broadband magic-T is simulated. The simulated results show
that, in the 50 to 65 GHz frequency band, each port’s reflection coefficient is better than
-20dB, and the isolation between the two output arms is better than 28dB. The splitter is
realized in this structure, which is the combination of one H-plane T-junction and two
waveguide iris filters. The simulated results show that, the reflection coefficient in both
channels is nearly below -15dB, and the isolation between the two center frequencies of
the different channels is beyond 40dB.
