SWITCHING IN WAVE GUIDE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM- Filed Feb. 25, 1943 E iq ii I/ "gll Patented Feb. 4, 1947 SWITCHING IN WAVE GUIDE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM William D. Hershberger, or to Radio Corporatio tion of Delaware Princeton, N. J assignn of America; a corpora- Application February 25, 1943, Serial No. 477,176
Claims. (01. 178-44) This invention relates generally to ultra-high frequency wave transmission systems and more particularly to switching means for ultra-high frequency wave guides. A
The instant invention is an improvement upon the device described in applicant's U. S; Patent 2,189,549, granted February 6, 1940, which discloses a thermionic tube circuit for providing switching in concentric high frequency transmission lines.
Positive switching in wave guide ultra-high frequency transmission systems is especially use- I ful in systems employing branched wave guides which are connected to corresponding load devices. For example, a branched wave guide transmission system may be connected to a plurality of ultra-high frequency radiators which are energized alternately or successively by switching the wave guides in the transmission circuit.
The apparatus disclosed in detail hereinafter provides means for inserting effectively a substantially infinite impedance in one branch of a branched wave guide transmission system to close this branch, while at the same time permitting substantially unimpeded transmission of the ultra-high frequenc waves in the other branch of the wave guide system. The insertion of an infinite impedance is meant herein to comprise the insertion of a wave reflecting or wav attenuating device to prevent wave transmission beyond the point of insertion in the guide. The common characteristic of all of theswitching systems disclosed herein is th insertion of a substantially infinite impedance at a point which is substantially an integral number of half wave lengths in the guide at the operating frequency along the selected wave guide branch from the junction thereof with the remainder of the wave guide transmission system. A high impedance thus placed provides reflections which effectively present a similar substantially infinite impedance at the junction of the branched wave guides.
Among the objects of the invention ar to provide an improved method of and means for switching ultra-high frequency waves in a wave guid transmission system. Another object is to provide an improved method of and means for selectively switching guide waves in a branched wave guide transmission system. A further object is to provide an improved method'of and means for guiding waves alternately through separate branches of a branched wave guide transmission system to apply energy to separate load devices. Another object is to provide an improved method of and means for inserting substantially infinite impedances in a branched wave guide transmission system at points which are substantially integral numbers of halfwave lengths in the guide at the operating frequency from the branch point of the wave guide system. Another object is to provide an improved high impedance device for a wave guide transmission system which comprises a resonant aperture which may be ionized selectively upon the application of an externally derived voltage. A further object is to provide an improved substantially infinite impedance device for insertion in a wave guide transmission system which comprises a resonant chamber including an ionizing device for ionizing selectively a portion of the resonant chamber and aperture devices for controlling the coupling between the wave guide and the resonant chamber to control effectively the selectivity 1 thereof.
The invention will be described in greater detail by referenc to the accompanying drawing of which Figure 1 is a schematic plan diagram of one embodiment thereof; Figure 2 is a sectional view of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the invention; Figure 4 is an elevational view of a, resonant aperture device utilized in Figure 3; Figure 5a. is a fragmentary elevational view of a third embodiment of the invention, Figure 5b is a fragmentary elevational view of a modification of Figure 5a, and Figure 6 is an equivalent circuit diagram for the device of Figure 5. Similar reference numerals are applied to similar elements throughout the drawing.
Referring to Figure 1, a. transmitter l which may, for example, consist of a magnetron oscillator, is coupled in any conventional manner to one end of a first wave guide 2. The remaining end of the wave guide 2 terminates in two branched wave guides 3 and 4. .The remaining endsv of the branched wave guides 3 and 4 may b terminated in load devices, such as antennas or the like which are not shown. A flat vane 5 is pivoted on a shaft 6 to be inserted transversely through a slot I in the firstbranched wave guide 3 or a slot 8 in the second branched wave guide 4. The slots I and 8 are preferably located any integral number of half wave lengths at the operating frequency from the junction with the first wave guide 2. Preferably the slots should be only slightly wider than the thickness of the vane 5. The vane i may be semi-circular as indicated in Figure 2 and equipped with stops to providev pled to a similar first wave guide l alternate interruption of either wave guide branch.
Figure 3 includes a similar transmitter l con- 2 which terminates in branched wave guides 3 and 4. The open ends of the wave guides 3 and 4 may be coupled to any suitable load devices, not shown.
First and second resonant aperture devices il i and I2 are'inserted in the branch wave guides 3 and 4, respectively at points which are preferably an integral number of half wave lengths at the from the junction of the with the first wave guide 2. devices Ii and I2 willbe operating frequency branch wave guides The resonant aperture described in detail hereinafter. They are connected through switches l3 and I4 respectively to a keying generator or other source of high potential IS. The keying voltages thus applied to the resonant aperture'devices cause ionization of the gas in the narrow aperture therein which thereby introduces a substantially infinite impedance in the branch wave guide at that point. when no ionization of the gas in the resonant aperture device occurs, substantially unimpeded wave transmission through the resonant aperture is provided. v
Referring to Figure 4, the resonant aperture devices H and I2 of Figure 3 comprise two complementary conducting elements 2|, 22 which are insulated from each other by transverse insulating members 23, 24. The complete unit is supe ported by any suitable clamping member 23. The size and shape of the aperture 23 formed by the complementary conformations of the conducting members 2|, 22 determines the frequency at which the aperture resonates. The device may be considered to consist of two highly inductive elements 2i, 22in series with a capacitor formed by the fiat faces 21, 23 which are separated by a narrow air gap 23. It is this narrow air gap 23 which is ionized by the keying voltage derived from the keying generator l5.
Referring to Figure 5a, a section of the branch wave guide 3, for example, includes a resonant chamber'34 instead of the resonant aperture device l I shown in Figure 3. The resonant chamber 34 includes first and second fixed aperture stop devices 35 and 33 disposed transversely with respect to the wave guide 3.' The resonant chamber 34 should preferably be tuned to resonance by means of a tuning screw 31 which is adJusted by a tuning knob 38. The walls of the resonant chamber 34 are bent outwardly to support a gaseous discharge tube 39 in a position which permits a small portion of the gas containing envelope to be within the resonant chamber. If the guide 3 is conveying a wave of the H01 type, and the guide is rectangular in cross-section, the flared out portion 45 is excited in its E0 mode. That is,
the resonant cavity behaves as a transformer for guided waves to convert Hm waves into either E0 waves leaving by the guide section 45 or Hm waves leaving the cavity 34 by the aperture 36. The aperture 35 is the input aperture. The guide section 45 is then preferably operated as a cut-ofl guide for E0 waves. Coupling between the lamp 33 and the cavity 34 then is varied in a simple and effective manner by varying the penetration. of the lamp 39 in the section of cut-off guide 45.
The gaseous discharge tube 33 should be so located that no ionization therein occurs due to the normal wave transmission through the resonant chamber 34. The electrodes of the gaseous discharge tube are connected through a switch 43 to a source of high potential 4|. when the 75 wave guide,
- -4 switch 43 is closed, ionization occurs within the gaseous discharge tube 33 and the ionized portion of the tube within the resonant chamber 34 changes the resonant characteristics thereof snfiiciently to offer a substantially infinite impedance to the. waves transmitted through the system. The selectivity of the system is greatly enhanced by selecting a suitable aperture size in the aperture devices 33, 33.
The equivalent electrical circuit for the device described in Figure 5a is shown in Figure 6 whereby the inductances 42 and 43 and the varicircuit so that the impedance of this circuit viewed at the input terminals becomes highlyreactive at the operating frequency.
It should be understood that the device of Figure 5:: may be substituted for both of the resonant aperture devices of Figure 3, and that the gaseous dicsharge tubes of each resonant cham# ber device may be ionized by any suitable external voltage source.
It should also be understood that therresonant' characteristics'of the resonant chamber device 34 may be changed by electronic or mechanical means which are actuated by the keying element. Such expedients for varying the resonantcharacteristics of resonant chambers are wellknown in the art. An example of suchan expedient, shown in Figure 5b, is the periodic introduction in the resonant cavity of a cylindrical plug 41 of metal or dielectric material, such as styrol, having low losses and a high dielectric constant with respect to air. To be most eflective this material is introduced in the cavity at a high potential point such as is occupied by the lamp 38 in'Figure 50.
Thus the invention described comprises a new and improved method of and means for switching guided waves in a wave guide ultra-high frequency transmission system.
