- a Principal "ady antage of thisapparatus is the facility with which this transition can be made from one .modefl'to theother em oying if d ired the conical or, ,pyramida1"transition having 119 abrupt discontinuities to fest viinwa'ritedtmodes.
- the TE mode in a rectangular Waveguide is illustrated in Fig. 5 and on superficial inspection would not appear to be in any way related to'the TE mode in a circular guide either in appearance or in the shape of the structure iifwhich will propagate. Howeverfit W-illlie apparent fi 'oi'n' a more detailed consideration or the circular waveguide in-F-ig.
- Propagation in such a cruciform takes place substantially independently in the two waveguides formed by the two opposed pairs of arms in the cruciform and each propagates a mode very similar to the pure TE mode in ordinary rectangular guides.
- the shallow taper and transformer section referred to above.
- a direct transition might be possible but the formation of unwanted modes by a direct discontinuity makes an abrupt change in cross-section undesirable.
- the transition 66 is employed which is formed by cutting away the solid material forming the arms of the cruciform to create a hollow conical cavity.
- the slope of the cone may be a continuation of the slope of the short taper section.
- Fig. 6 illustrates the simultaneous propagation in the circular and cruciform Waveguides midway along the transition.
- the transition is illustrated in the form of a smoothly tapered cone it would be of course equivalent to use a stepped conical or pyramidal cavity designed for the specific wavelength in accordance with conventional practice in stepped transformers.
- one of the features of this invention is the fact that the cruciform and the circular waveguide differ very little in maximum dimension and the one can be fed directly into the other.
- the discontinuities in the taper and the transition structure are minimized in this device and therefore the formation of spurious modes is avoided.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention uses a curve in the cruciform cross-section, said curve having a radius large enough to minimize the differential phase shift between the E plane and the H plane portions of the bend. It can be shown that where there are E plane and H plane bends in rectangular waveguides of identical radius, the H plane bend will produce a greater phase shift from the equivalent E plane bend. In practice it can be shown that the guide wavelength of the H plane bend decreases with decreasing radius whereas the E plane bend wavelength is relatively unaffected. However, a shift in the H plane is not substantial until the radius becomes quite small. In fact, for X band standard waveguides it can be shown that the phase shift does not begin to rise substantially until the radius of the bend becomes less than one foot.
- the difference in phase shift between an E plane and an H plane rectangular waveguide bend of identical radii can be derived from the formula and is equal to kgH AgE'
- the relative shift is thus a function of path length radius and guide wavelength. Assuming identical radii for the path length center lines in the cruciform section, it is apparent that bending radii on the order of one foot or less are possible for frequencies higher than 8 kilomegacycles, based on an acceptable level of mode impurities arising from unequal electrical path lengths. The predominant circular waveguide mode impurity arising from the unequal path lengths wouldbe the TE mode.
- the cruciform should have a cut-off wavelength approximately the same as that of the main circular waveguide, it is a relatively straightforward matter to calculate the dimensions of the cruciform once the dimensions of the circular waveguide have been determined.
- a circular waveguide propagating the TE mode has a cut-off wavelength equal to .82D where D is the waveguide diameter.
- the cut-ofi wavelength for the oruciform will be very close to that of the TE mode in a single rectangular waveguide which is equal to the wide dimension of such a waveguide.
- the cutoff wavelength in the cruciform is on the order of .9 in the wide dimension. It will be seen that with identical dimensions these two cross-sections would be very closely matched and would not need any taper, although the conical transition would still be desirable.
- FIG. 8 and 9 An alternative construction for a bend of maximum compactness is illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9.
- the tapered section 82 and the transition section composed of the cruciform superimposed on a conical cavity 89 are the same as those shown for the gradual bends.
- the cruciform is constructed in two straight sections 86 and 88 intersecting at right angles. The corner is mitred at 45 to the axis of each of the two intersecting cruciform sections and a conducting plate 90 is placed in the plane of the mitre cut. While the operation of this form of the invention is essentially the same as the gradual bend, there is a greater phase shift between the reflected waves between the E and H planes and somewhat greater tendency to produce spurious modes.

Howeverfit W-illlie apparent fi 'oi'n' a more detailed consideration or the circular waveguide in-F-ig. f} and the'rectangular waveguide 'ofFigl that if the electrical field Vectors .arc p'ppeny superimposed" the two modes can be rnade'tE) haves u'seful'relationshipl p -Tihe inyeiitio "creates such a relationship by th'e'use reetap mar waveguides pro agating of'ndtbfli'ljutm s i t what is' substantially the *TE H mode: thsetwowaire guides being formed to create a single cruciform opening. Such a cross-section is illustrated in Fig. 7. Propagation in such a cruciform takes place substantially independently in the two waveguides formed by the two opposed pairs of arms in the cruciform and each propagates a mode very similar to the pure TE mode in ordinary rectangular guides. To achieve the transition from the circular to the cruciform cross-section and back again it is preferable to use the shallow taper and transformer section referred to above. A direct transition might be possible but the formation of unwanted modes by a direct discontinuity makes an abrupt change in cross-section undesirable. To avoid this difficulty the transition 66 is employed which is formed by cutting away the solid material forming the arms of the cruciform to create a hollow conical cavity. For convenience the slope of the cone may be a continuation of the slope of the short taper section. The arms of the cruciform extend from the surface of the cone parallel to the axis of the cone and as the cone decreases in diameter a greater proportion of the microwave energy is propagated in the cruciform arms. Fig. 6 illustrates the simultaneous propagation in the circular and cruciform Waveguides midway along the transition. Although the transition is illustrated in the form of a smoothly tapered cone it would be of course equivalent to use a stepped conical or pyramidal cavity designed for the specific wavelength in accordance with conventional practice in stepped transformers.
While a transition section is used in the preferred embodirnent of this device, one of the features of this invention is the fact that the cruciform and the circular waveguide differ very little in maximum dimension and the one can be fed directly into the other. The discontinuities in the taper and the transition structure are minimized in this device and therefore the formation of spurious modes is avoided.
It is possible in the cruciform cross-section to use a mitered corner and re-taper back to the circular crosssection as illustrated by Figs. 8 and 9. However, this abrupt discontinuity tends to produce an excessive amount of mode impurity. Instead the preferred embodiment of the invention uses a curve in the cruciform cross-section, said curve having a radius large enough to minimize the differential phase shift between the E plane and the H plane portions of the bend. It can be shown that where there are E plane and H plane bends in rectangular waveguides of identical radius, the H plane bend will produce a greater phase shift from the equivalent E plane bend. In practice it can be shown that the guide wavelength of the H plane bend decreases with decreasing radius whereas the E plane bend wavelength is relatively unaffected. However, a shift in the H plane is not substantial until the radius becomes quite small. In fact, for X band standard waveguides it can be shown that the phase shift does not begin to rise substantially until the radius of the bend becomes less than one foot.
The difference in phase shift between an E plane and an H plane rectangular waveguide bend of identical radii can be derived from the formula and is equal to kgH AgE' The relative shift is thus a function of path length radius and guide wavelength. Assuming identical radii for the path length center lines in the cruciform section, it is apparent that bending radii on the order of one foot or less are possible for frequencies higher than 8 kilomegacycles, based on an acceptable level of mode impurities arising from unequal electrical path lengths. The predominant circular waveguide mode impurity arising from the unequal path lengths wouldbe the TE mode.
Since the cruciform should have a cut-off wavelength approximately the same as that of the main circular waveguide, it is a relatively straightforward matter to calculate the dimensions of the cruciform once the dimensions of the circular waveguide have been determined. A circular waveguide propagating the TE mode has a cut-off wavelength equal to .82D where D is the waveguide diameter. The cut-ofi wavelength for the oruciform will be very close to that of the TE mode in a single rectangular waveguide which is equal to the wide dimension of such a waveguide. However it has been found that the cutoff wavelength in the cruciform is on the order of .9 in the wide dimension. It will be seen that with identical dimensions these two cross-sections would be very closely matched and would not need any taper, although the conical transition would still be desirable.
In the taper and transition sections from circular to cruciform cross-section a taper and transition of at least four times the wavelength being propagated was found to be desirable in order to minimize unwanted reflections. The overall insertion loss in this bend is approximately A db over a greater than 6% band width and the loss for a bendin the 9.375 kmc. band is less than db over the same percentage band width. In addition the use of these bends results in a mode purity of approximately 20 db.
An alternative construction for a bend of maximum compactness is illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9. In this construction the tapered section 82 and the transition section composed of the cruciform superimposed on a conical cavity 89 are the same as those shown for the gradual bends. However the cruciform is constructed in two straight sections 86 and 88 intersecting at right angles. The corner is mitred at 45 to the axis of each of the two intersecting cruciform sections and a conducting plate 90 is placed in the plane of the mitre cut. While the operation of this form of the invention is essentially the same as the gradual bend, there is a greater phase shift between the reflected waves between the E and H planes and somewhat greater tendency to produce spurious modes.
While this invention has been described in respect to two specific embodiments it will be understood that the invention is not restricted to these embodiments but rather to the principles disclosed herein as defined by the following claims.
