Definitions

  • the invention relates to switching devices and particularly to switching devices for use in dielectric wave guide systems.
  • Objects of the invention are to control the ⁇ i'iow of electromagnetic wave power in a dielectric wage guide system, and to switch the ow from one wave guide to any one of two or more other wave-guides, in an eiiicient manner employing relatively simple and leconomical apparatus.
  • wave guide "valves which operate either to allow wave power to pass over a guide withoutappreciable attenuation or to reiiect substantially as much of the incident power as may be desired, one of these valves being placed in each 4branch wave guide of a dielectric wave guide system to control the ow of power through that branch.
  • the several wave guide branches with their valves are joined to the source of power through a sultable junction which will allow all of the incident power to ilow into those branches in which the valves are open.
  • a transversecut is made in each wave guide branch and a metal plate is rotated iirst through the cut in one branch end then through the cut in the other branch.
  • the plate When the plate is inserted in the cut -in one branch so as to completely separate one side of the wave guide branch from the other side, it operates as a piston to produce reilection of the incident wave power in that branch thus allowing transmission of the wave power through the other branch only.
  • control and switching operations are performed by valves comprising resonant chambers operating as I ilters in the several wave guide branches. These illters may be arbitrarily tuned or detuned so as to change the transmission eillciency of the respective branches and thereby redirect the flow oi' power.
  • the tuning or detuning of the resonant chamber is effected by the insertion within the chamber at a suitable point of a conducting metal rod or vane.
  • such a rod or vane may be rotated about an eccentric axis so as to be inserted through a slot in the wall of the chamber and withdrawn therefrom at a periodic rate.l
  • the slot required to produce entrance of the vane may be out in the wall incertain places where the resultant leakage of energy through the slot will be negligible.
  • the resonant chamber may also be arranged so as to allow the branch power to ilow directly through the alter during un, or may be placed so as to control the ilow oi s power through the wave guide past the entrance of the chamber.
  • the switching device is applied to a dielectric wave guide structure comprising two wave guide branches of hollow metal pipe fed with electromagnetic waves from the same source. such as another hollow metal pipe wave guide transmitting such waves.
  • the switching device consists of adjacent resonant chambers in the two pipe branches, and a metal rod, vane or disc mounted on an axle, like a spoke on a wheel, so as to be rotatable through slots in ⁇ the walls of the two chambers either in one chamber or in the other.
  • Figs. 1 and 1A show respectively a perspective view of a known type of wave guide illter and sections oi' various types oi irises which may be used in such a filter;
  • Fig. 2 shows a detuning arrangement in accordance with the invention lapplied to such 'a filter to form a wave guide switch
  • Fig. 3 shows diagrammatically various places for locating the slot for inserting the detuning element in such a wave guide illter;
  • Fig. 4 shows a sectional view of an alternative type of wave guide switch in accordance with the invention
  • Fig. 5 shows diagrammatlcallyhow the switching device of theinvention would be applied for switching power in a wave guide system
  • Figs. 6 and 'l illustrate different types of junctions for wave guide branches:
  • Figs. 8 to 13 show perspective, end or crosssectlonal views of various wave guide switching arrangements in accordance with the invention
  • Fig. 14 is a curve showing the transmission l characteristics of a typical lter of the type shown in Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 15 shows curves illustrating the switchto other wave types and other types of wave guides.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a ,simple filter of this type with a portion of the .walls broken away to show the irises. 'I'he transmission characteristic of such a lter with respect to frequency is shown in Fig. 14. Fig.
  • lA shows sectional views of various types of irises which may be employed in this type of lter.
  • the distance between the two irises in the filter of Fig. 1 determines the wave-length at which the lter resonates, i. e., allows the wave guide power to be transmitted with no loss due to reflection from the filter.
  • This inter-iris distance is approximately one, two, or more, half wave-lengths (wave-length measured in the guide)
  • the width of the transmission peak characteristics, Fig. 14, depends upon the size of the lirises; the smaller the irises, the sharper the.
  • tuning screws i. e., screws through the walls of the guide, so that a variable amount of the screw projects within the filter.
  • tuning screws i. e., screws through the walls of the guide, so that a variable amount of the screw projects within the filter.
  • the most effective location for the tuning screws is halfway between the irises, through the wall in such a way as to be parallel with the lines of electric force.
  • the tuning screws may be used to line up such a illter for optimum transmission at a given frequency, so also may they be used to detune a filter. If the detuning is snmcientLv great, the transmission will be for most practical purposes, negligible. In such a case, the filter reflects almost all of theI incident wave guide power. It constitutes, therefore, a stop to that flow of power, almost as effective as if a metal plate were placed completely across the cross section of the guide.
  • the wave guide switches in accordance with the invention to be described depend upon the detuning of such nlters. In practice, however, it is usually not convenient to effect the detuning by methods employing tuning screws as described above. They are of utility mainly for slight frequency trimming.
  • Fig. 2 shows in conjunction with a rectangular wave guide i employing spaced apertured irises 2 and I to provide a resonant chamber l forming a single unit filter which may have its tuning frequency initially adjusted to a desired value by means of tuning screws (not shown) as described above, an arrangement which has been found useful for rapid and frictionless detuning of the nlter.
  • This arrangement as indicated comprises a metal rod I attached as a spoke to the axle 8 wave guide, at some intermediate point. so that when rotated by rotation of the axle the spoke l may be made to enter the resonant chamber through the longitudinal clearance slot 1, to cause detuning of the filter to take place.
  • a slot may be cut in the wall of such a resonant chamber with minimum resultant leakage, and these are shown diagrammatically in Fig. 3. Slots cut along the center lines at AA or BB should theoretically allow no leakage of power through the wall. A slot CC along a center line will result in some leakage, but fora high Q chamber this would be very small. Experiments have shown that for the case where the chamber was completely divided by a cut along CC and BB the transmission was still quite emclent. These experiments established that a metal plate inserted through the cut without touching the walls would completely detune the chamber. It is important that electrical contact is not required as this permits the use of rapidly rotating detuning elements'involving a minimum of friction.
  • the detuning element specifically referred to above is a metal rod or vane which is rotated about some axis, and hence requires a slot inthe wall of the chamber for admission. It is also possible to detune a chamber by inserting a metal rod longitudinally through a small hole in the wall of the chamber, and employing a simple reciproquired would allow negligible leakage to takev place no matter where it is cut in the chamber. This allows somewhat greater freedom of design, although in the interest of efnciency it is still desirable to place the rod at a voltage maximum.
  • resonant chamber valve may be mentioned.
  • the power does not ow directly through the chamber but rather flows past .the end of it, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • a shunt reactance X which may be either an iris, tuned diametral wire, etc.
  • the arrangement may be adjusted so tht when the chamber is resonant, energy is allowed to po. down the main wave guide freely or, on the other hand, it may be adjusted to reflect energy. Then when the chamber is detuned the situation is reversed. In the latter case. energy will be transmitted only when the chamber is detuned.
  • Fig. 5 shows diagrammatically how any such resonant chamber switches or valves would be utilized for switching electromagnetic energy transmitted from a suitable source over one main wave guide between two or more wave guide branches.
  • each branch it is necessary for each branch to present a certain impedance at the junction in order that the flow of power takes place down any particular branch.
  • each nonconducting branch must look like an open circuit at the junction. If any of these does not preextending through the resonant chamberof the Sent an infinite impedance. then reflection of mers? may take place from the junctionsven though one branch is perfectly transmitting.
  • a three-branch junction the simplest arrangement is the one shown in Fig. 6.
  • a total reflector in either branch can cause all the power to flow down the other branch providing the latter is freely transmitting and providing the distance dis properly adjusted so'that the required reactance is presented at the junction.
  • a shunt reactance For other symmetrical Y's as shown in Fig. '7 it would be necessary to place a shunt reactance at an appropriate place in the common arm (at D).
  • Other types of junctions are shown in Figs. 8, 9 and 12.
  • the switching system of Fig. may comprise the arrangement of Fig. 2 combined with an additional similar filter 9 to form a wave guide switch. as illustrated in Fig. 8.
  • a valve guide switch it is convenient to place the two filters l and 9 in contact with a single slot in the contacting walls through which the spoke i may rotate. It is moreover, advisable to choose the spoke width equal to the double-walled thickness of the contacting walls of the two filters I and 9 so that as one edge of the spoke leaves one filter, the other edge enters the other filter.
  • Electromagnetic waves of voltage E indicated by the vector so labeled are fed over the single rectangular wave guideor hollow pipe I0 to the hollow metal pipes including the filters 4 and l.
  • the switch shown in Fig. 8 operates as follows: I'he two filters '4 and 9 are made identical and are designed (and trimmed with tuning screws, if desired) so that their transmission peak coincides with the frequency of the incident waves.
  • the spoke will project into each filter during 180 degrees of axle rotation. For any given spoke position, therefore, except for the two positions in the common wall, one filter will retain its initial tuning so that it will pass the applied wave guide power, whereas the other filter, detuned by the spoke, will provide sufcient attenuation to substantially block the transmission of the applied wave guide power.
  • the single pipe Ill which connects to the filters 4 and 9 only one of the two irises will be electrically open at any given time. The other iris.
  • an iris suitable for a filter is like a shunt reactance placed across a transmission line, with the shunt impedance low compared with the characteristic impedance of the line. 'I'his shunt reactance will constitute an effective short circuit unless it happens to be a part of a lter resonant at the fixed frequency of the incident waves.
  • the general scheme of switching by means of detuning filters does not constitute any serious limitation upon the wave guide power level which may be transmitted. It is true that there is a voltage step-up within each filter and that, as the spoke is rotated into one of the filters. for sumcient high power levels (e. g., 25 kilowatts) there will tend to be some formation of corona on the end of the spoke. Such corona will, of course, disappear as the spoke penetrates further into the filter.- The fact, however, that the corona is taking place only in that filter which is desired to be detuned, i. e., inactive, means that the transmission through the other active filter is unimpaired. The only limitation is, therefore, imposed by the filters themselves. It is known, however, that the filters are usable at power levels of at least 25 kilowatts (peak) power.
  • the construction in Fig. 8 may be employed in conjunction with a toggle action mechanism (not shown) of any suitable type which will snap the spoke from a position (say at 45 degrees to the common wall) in one filter to the mirror image position in the other filter.
  • a toggle action mechanism (not shown) of any suitable type which will snap the spoke from a position (say at 45 degrees to the common wall) in one filter to the mirror image position in the other filter.
  • the axle in Fig. 8 may be rotated or vibrated at the cyclic rate.
  • the effectiveness of the switching depends directly upon how effectively the spoke detunes as it enters the filter and, therefore, upon the switching characteristics such as shown in Fig. 15. If the character of the switching is the only factor to be considered, it is clear from Fig. 15 that the Q of the filters should be high. There are, however, situations where it is desired to secure a switch with a broad frequency response; in such cases, the choice for the Q of the filters must be a compromise.
  • the side arm type of resonant chamber shown in Fig. 4 may be used as a switching element in connection with any of the branching schemes herein described.
  • - Fig, 9 illustrates one particular application involving the use of a T junction of an input wave guide with two colinear wave guide branches A and B.
  • a side arm including a resonant chamber joined to each of the latter branches by a T junction and a reciprocating rod for detuning the resonant chambers.
  • Iris Il forms one boundary of the resonant chamber.
  • Iris I2 is used as the reactance X shown lin Fig. 4.
  • the metal rod I3 slides back and forth into first one and then the other of the two chambers. Its length is such that as it just leaves one chamber, it just enters the other, so that only one is detuned at any instant.
  • the junction here shown is a special case of the junction shown in Fig. 7
  • a band-pass filter is obtained.
  • a suitable coupling may consist of placing the filters together with adjacent irises in contact and then in replacing the two adjacent irises by an iris of considerably smaller size.
  • Fig. shows such a wave guide switch involving two such band-pass filters.
  • two axles, each with a spoke, are provided and are to be rotated or vibrated in unison so as to detunesimultaneously both units of either filter.
  • the use of band-pass filters will give the advantage o! a broad response without sacricing the sharpness of the switching.
  • Figs. 1l and 11A show a modification of the wave guide switch of Fig. 10, the main change being that the two parts of each filter are coupled by an aperture in a common side wall.
  • This arrangement allows the detuning to be effected by two parallel spokes mounted on a single axle as shown. It may be stated, in general, that arrangements such as shown in Figs. 10 and 11 may be readily designed to give essentially fiat transmission over a band of 1 per cent of the frequency with a switching sharpness which could be attained with the arrangement of Figs. 8 and 9 only with a high Q filter.
  • Filters of even greater complexity i. e., with three or more chambers may be used to' construct wave guide switches with still broader frequency response and sharper switching than with switches with double-chamber filters.
  • the form of such multichamber lter, double switches can be visualized as an extension of the arrangements oi' Figs. 8 to 11.
  • Wave guide switches which will switch a flow of wave guide power from one guide to any one of several guides may readily be constructed by a tandem combination of any of the arrangements already described for switching from one guide to either of two guides.
  • Multiple wave guide switching can also be accomplished by causing all of the branches to join the main wave guide at a common junction.
  • three, four, or more irises may be placed in the end wall and open into their respective filters or branches.
  • Another possibility is the one illustrated by Fig. 12 in which the front irises of the resonant chambers (used as valves) open directly into the main guide through the side walls.
  • the operation of the switch of Fig. 12 is as follows: For any given position of the axle, all the filters are detuned except one. This one open filter, in conjunction with the plate (or piston) at the end of the feed pipe, constitutes a termination in characteristic impedance for the feed pipe.
  • the filters are spaced one half wavelength apart along the feed line arid approximately an odd number of quarter wave-lengths from the end plate. In this way each of them, when not detuned, presents the same impedance and, therefore, can terminate properly the feed pipe.
  • Fig. 13 shows diagrammatically a modified wave guide switching system in accordance with the A metal plate I9, which may be a semlcircular disc. is rotated about an axle 20 so as to be periodically inserted through the transverse cuts first into one branch guide I1 and then in the other IB. If the junction is properly designed (i. e., degrees between branches) the plate can be assumed to act as a piston and for a given position across the cross section of the guide will completely separate the lower part of a wave guide branch from the other and thus produce complete reflection of power from the point C or D. When this takes place in one wave guide branch, substantially all of the wave energy from the main guide IB will pass over the other wave guide branch from which the plate i9 is withdrawn.
