带有可旋转在线解耦系统的腔式功率合成器设计

Design of cavity power combiner with rotatable online decoupling system

  • 摘要: 为方便粒子加速器用固态功率源设备在线更换维护,需要功率合成器具备在线可解耦的功能。腔式合成器由于其较高的功率容量成为功率合成的优选方案,但目前并未实现输入耦合度在线可调。为此,设计了一种带有可旋转解耦系统的650 MHz八合一腔式功率合成器。将非接触开路式扼流槽设置在射频输入端口,耦合环与腔体分离,实现磁耦合环可在线旋转调节,根据固态功率源工作状态来在线调节输入耦合度,以此来满足热插拔及调整合成效率的目的。仿真结果表明该合成器单级合成效率高,功率损耗小,且各输入端到输出端的幅度传输具有很好的一致性,最大偏差在0.25 dB以内。通过在线调节耦合度实现输入端口射频隔离,从而实现功放模块在线热插拔更换,极大地改善了功放模块的在线可维护性及灵活性。

     

    Abstract: To facilitate online replacement and maintenance of solid-state power sources in particle accelerators, a cavity power combiner with online decoupling capability is required. While cavity combiners offer high power capacity, adjustable input coupling has not been achieved online. Therefore, we designed a 650 MHz eight-in-one cavity power combiner with a rotatable decoupling system. By integrating non-contact open-circuit slits at the RF input port and separating the coupling loop from the cavity, we enabled online rotation adjustment of the magnetic coupling loop. This adjustment allows real-time tuning of input coupling according to the operational status of solid-state power sources, facilitating hot-swapping and efficiency optimization. Simulation results demonstrate high synthesis efficiency and minimal power loss, with excellent amplitude consistency between input and output ports (deviations within 0.25 dB). The ability to adjust coupling online enhances RF isolation at input ports, enabling seamless hot-swappable replacement of power amplifier modules and significantly improving maintainability and flexibility.
