Abstract:
A new high-performing PCB (Printed Circuit Board) dichroic filter, which can be used for the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) electron cyclotron emission imaging system, is proposed. The current dichroic filter consists of a triangular lattice array of circular holes on the 6-mm thick metal plate, while circular hole spacing limitation caused relatively narrow passband (∼20 GHz). On the other hand, the proposed PCB dichroic filter utilizes the inexpensive commercial PCB fabrication process with a flexible adjustment of circular hole spacing. Therefore, the proposed PCB dichroic filter provides significantly wider passband (∼60 GHz with 0.84 dB insertion loss) with much reduced weight and expense. Also, it is shown that a steep skirt property can be obtained with the thick PCB filter substrate. The design process, fabrication, and measurement results of the new PCB dichroic filter are described.
