    W-band Wideband Via-holes Transition Design Based on Multilayer LCP Substrate

    • 摘要: 多层电路基板技术为实现电子系统小型化设计提供了高效的解决方案,并且已成为当前研究的热点之一。在多层电路基板中,过孔结构作为连接异面传输线和元器件互连的核心电路单元,其性能好坏直接影响整个电子系统特性的优劣。文中基于多层高分子液晶聚合物(LCP)基板技术,设计并制作了一款工作在W波段的微带线-带状线-微带线(MS-SL-MS)过孔互连结构。为了有效抑制过孔和基板之间的寄生效应,文中在盲孔的正下方引入了缺陷地结构(DGS),使过孔互连结构的毫米波性能得到明显的改善。仿真结果表明,在W波段,过孔互连结构的回波损耗小于-20.9 dB,插入损耗优于1.58 dB。为了验证仿真的有效性,进行了多层基板的加工以及电路的制作。测试结果表明,在W波段,电路回波损耗小于-10 dB,插入损耗优于3 dB,满足毫米波信号宽带传输,这种低损耗过孔互连结构可以被广泛应用于毫米波电路封装。

       

      Abstract: Multilayer circuit substrate technology provides an excellent solution for miniaturized design of electronic systems, and has become one hot spot of the research. In multilayer circuit substrates, the performance of via-holes, as the core circuit unit for connecting the transmission lines and components laying on the different layers, directly affects the characteristics of the whole electronic system. In this paper, a microstrip line-strip line-microstrip line (MS-SL-MS) via-holes transition in W-band is designed and fabricated based on the multilayer liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate technology. In order to suppress the parasitic effect between the via-hole and the substrate, the defected ground structure (DGS) has been introduced, which significantly improves the millimeter-wave performance of the via-holes transition. Simulation results show that the return loss of the via-holes transition is less than -20.9 dB and the insertion loss is better than 1.58 dB in W-band, and in order to verify the validity of the simulation, multilayer LCP substrate have been fabricated, and the measured results show that, in W-band, the return loss of the circuit is less than -10 dB and the insertion loss is better than 3 dB, which can satisfy the broadband transmission of millimeter-wave signals, this low-loss via-holes transition can be applied to millimeter-wave circuit packages.
