Design of microwave ceramic waveguide filter with high out-of-band suppression characteristics by Fei LIANG, Shunliang MENG, Wenzhong LYU

“…The design theory of ceramic waveguide filter was introduced, and then the combination structure of coupling through slot with shallow or deep coupling blind hole was designed, which could meet the requirements of positive and negative coupling bandwidth.By adjusting the cross coupling between 3～6 cavities, the symmetry of the filter transmis-sion curve was improved, and the near and far end band suppression of the filter was realized.Finally, a six-cavity ce-ramic waveguide filter for 5G base station was designed.In the process of optimizing the filter, the influences of the rela-tive position offset of the cross-coupling through slot and the length of the cross-coupling through slot on the transmis-sion zero position, the near end and far end out of band suppression characteristics of the filter were discussed in detail, and the relevant change rules were given.The performance indexes of the optimized filter were as follows, center fre-quency was 3.5 GHz, working bandwidth was 200 MHz, insertion loss ≤ 1.2 dB, return loss ≥ 17 dB, near end out of band rejection ≥ 25 dB, far end out of band rejection ≥ 51 dB.According to the structural parameters of the simulation model, the performance test results of the samples are in good agreement with the simulation results.…”

Digital twin-assisted multi-mode communication resource management methods for smart buildings by Cheng SHI, Pengju LIU, Zhigang DU, Sunxuan ZHANG, Zhenyu ZHOU, Huifeng BAI, Guoqing HE, Wenwen SUN, Yue MA

“…The multi-mode communication network provides communication support for the collection, transmission, and processing of energy regulation data and the training of energy regulation models for smart buildings.Digital twin can provide state estimation of computing resources and channel characteristics, assist in the multi-mode communication resource optimization management, and improve the training precision of energy regulation models.However, the digital twin-assisted multi-mode communication resource management of smart buildings still face challenges such as large training error of energy regulation model, coupling of multi-timescale resource allocation, and contradictions between training precision improvement of energy regulation model and energy consumption optimization.Aiming at the above challenges, a multi-timescale communication resource management optimization algorithm based on digital twin and empirical matching learning was proposed.The weighted sum of global model loss function and energy consumption was minimized by jointly optimizing the large-timescale gateway selection and small-timescale channel allocation and power control.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the performance of weighted sum of global model loss function and energy consumption, ensure the precise energy regulation requirement and promote the low-carbon operation of smart buildings.…”
