Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a microwave circuit used in a microwave communication apparatus, a satellite broadcast receiving converter or the like.
  • Fig. 3 shows a short-circuit section of a conventional cylindrical waveguide
  • Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the same.
  • numeral 1 indicates a metal body including a cylindrical waveguide 5
  • numeral 2 indicates a mounting surface for a short-circuit plate 4.
  • the short-circuit plate 4 is fixed to the mounting surface 2 by means of screws or the like to form a short-circuit plane. If the short-circuit plate 4 is in an ideal short-circuit state, a microwave being propagated through the cylindrical waveguide 5 makes a total reflection to change direction of propagation without involving any loss.
  • CWG/MSL cylindrical waveguide/microstrip-line
  • JP-A-2-183601 It is known from JP-A-2-183601 to provide a microwave circuit in which a metal body acting as an external conductor of a coaxial line has a concentric circle-like prominence formed on a contact surface thereof to provide a means for forming an adequate contact between the metal body and a ground plane of a microstrip line (MSL). If, however, an adequate contact is not achieved it may be necessary to replace the whole metal body.
  • MSL microstrip line
  • a microwave circuit which includes a metal body having a cylindrical-waveguide, a contact surface and a bore extending from said cylindrical-waveguide to said surface.
  • the metal body serves as an external conductor of a coaxial line.
  • a hollow dielectric supporter is fitted within said bore and a conductor which serves as an internal conductor of the coaxial line extends through said hollow dielectric supporter, and projects into said cylindrical-waveguide.
  • the conductor also extends through a hollow metal supporter also fitted in the bore.
  • the bore has a small diameter bore part and a large diameter bore part, with said hollow dielectric supporter being fitted within the small diameter bore part and the hollow metal supporter being fitted in said large diameter bore part.
  • the hollow metal supporter is such that it projects from the surface of the metal body so as to make positive contact with a ground plane of a dielectric substrate, whereby an adequate contact is made between the metal body and said ground plane.
  • EP-A1-0498896 constitutes a part of the state of the art in accordance with Article 54(3) EPC.
  • JP-A-2-183601 and EP-A1-0498896 both describe means for improving contact between an external conductor of a coaxial line and a ground plane of a CWG/MSL.
  • the microwave circuit of the present invention comprises: a metal body having a cylindrical-waveguide, a contact surface and a bore extending from said cylindrical-waveguide to said surface, said metal body serving as an external conductor of a coaxial line; a dielectric substrate laid on said metal body; a dielectric supporter fitted within said bore; and a conductor which serves as an internal conductor of the coaxial line extending through said dielectric supporter and which projects into said cylindrical-waveguide, characterised in that said conductor also extends through a metal supporter also fitted in the bore, said metal supporter and said metal body comprising conductor sections of said coaxial line, and said bore has a small diameter bore part and a large diameter bore part, said dielectric supporter being fitted within the small diameter bore part and the metal supporter being fitted in said large diameter bore part, and a concentric-circle-like prominence is provided on either the metal body or the metal supporter which, in use, are brought into contact with each other, whereby an adequate contact is made between the metal supporter and
  • the metal body is held in contact with the metal supporter solely through a small region corresponding to the prominence provided on either of the metal body or the metal supporter, thereby attaining an adequate electromagnetic contact between the two metal bodies and ensuring satisfactory characteristics.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a sectional view of cylindrical-waveguide/microstrip-line conversion sections in a short circuit section of a cylindrical waveguide.
  • Numeral 10 indicates a metal body including a cylindrical waveguide; numeral 6 indicates a post member; numeral 7 indicates an MIC substrate having a microstrip line; numeral 8 indicates a metal supporter for forming a hollow coaxial line-together with the post member 6; and numeral 9 indicates a dielectric supporter forming a dielectric coaxial line with the post member 6.
  • a microwave propagated through the cylindrical waveguide in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawings is converted to a coaxial mode in the section of the post member 6 and propagated through coaxial lines formed by the components 9 and 8, and mode conversion is further effected in the connection section between the MIC substrate 7 and the post member 6 to propagate the microwave through the microstrip line on the MIC substrate 7.
  • a concentric-circle-like prominence is provided on the external conductor forming one coaxial line, and brought into contact with the external conductor of the other coaxial line, thereby preventing loss and deterioration in VSWR due to the generation of discontinuous portions in the coaxial external conductors.
