Patented Sept. 14, 1948 COAXIAL LINE CONNECTOR John D. J ohannesen, United States Navy Application August 6, 1945, Serial No. 609,313 (Cl. 174-21) (Granted under the act of March 3, 1883, as amended April 30, 1928; 370 0. G. 757) 3 Claims.
This invention relates in general to high frequency transmission lines and in particular to terminal fittings for such transmission lines.
Important uses of transmission lines include the carrying of radio-frequency power from a transmitter to an antenna, from an antenna to a receiver, from one component part of a receiver to another, the carrying of pulse type energy between the component part of radar, radio, or television gear, and any application in which the low loss and subdued radiation characteristics of such lines are advantageous or necessary.
An important form of transmission lines is the concentric type of line, consisting of a small center conductor running through and on the axis of a larger hollow conductor, generally referred to as coaxial cable. the inner and outer conductors is a vital element in the maintenance of such properties as low radiation, some insulating medium between the two conductors is required. This may take-the form of regularly spaced annular beads of a material such as polystyrene in a rigid type of coaxial line or it may take the form of a solid dielectric such as polyethylene in a flexible cable.
By proper choice of materials and correct design, it is possible to construct coaxial cable, the properties of which approach those of an ideal transmission line. Such an ideal transmission line would have inner and outer conductors of zero resistance, an insulating medium of zero power factor and would be capable of transferring power with zero energy loss and with zero external field.
Any irregularities in a transmission line produce effects which tend to cancel the approach to the ideal condition and introduce losses and undesired radiation. It is obvious that the fittings used to connect one coaxial cable to another coaxial cable, or to connect a coaxial cable to a source or receiver of energy must represent a fertile source of such irregularities.
It is' an object of the invention to provide a terminal fitting for high frequency transmission lines which represents the optimum continuation of transmission line electrical characteristics and thereby introduces a minimum of irregularity into the high frequency energy path from source to receiver.
It is another object of this invention to provide a quick detachable terminal fitting for transmission lines.
It is another object of this invention to provide a connecting fitting for high frequency transmission lines which will permit the rotation of one Inasmuch as the concentricity of v 2 connected element with respect to the other without change in the electrical characteristics of the path of energy from source to receiver.
It is another object of this invention to provide a terminal fitting for a coaxial type of transmission line in which the positive aligned mating of the inner conductor elements preserves the concentricity of the inner and outer conductors.
It is another object of this invention to provide a detachable terminal fitting for coaxial transmission lines in which the possibility of damage to the inner conductor elements of such fitting during engagement or disengagement is eliminated.
Other objects and features of this invention will become apparent upon a careful consideration of the following detailed description, when taken together with the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 i a cross section diagram of one embodiment of this invention; and
Fig. 2 is a diagram of certain components of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 segregated for purposes of illustration.
Reference is now had in particular to Fig. 1 wherein there is shown one form of a terminal fitting for a coaxial transmission line constructed according to the teachings of this invention. Metal structure I represents, for example, the chassis of a converter stage in an ultra-high frequency or micro-wave receiver in which the converter stage acts to reduce the modulated wave from that of the carrier frequency to that of a standard intermediate frequency for amplification in the amplifying stages present in the chassis represented by metal structure 2. The intermediate frequency transmitted from the converter stage to the amplifier stages, while lower than that of the carrier frequency, is nevertheless Within, or approaching the ultra high fre quency range from 30 to 300 megacycles per se 0nd. For this reason, special connection means are employed between the two chassis for the transmission of the intermediate frequency energy in order to minimize losses, reduce stray capacitive effect, and to prevent undesirable radiation and pickup. The reception equipment of which the components of Fig. 1 are a part is intended for a range of carrier frequencies too great for proper tuning by means of a single converter stage so that a plurality of such converter stages for inspection or repair. self is a subassembly which consists of two threadthe receiver structure. This interchangeability feature demands a rapid, positive means of completing the electrical contacts between the converter and the intermediate frequency amplifier. Upon the insertion of a converter unit in the receiver structure, terminal fitting components 5 and 6 engage and act as a connector between the converter and amplifier. Component 5 is positioned by firm attachment of flange I to bulkhead 8 of chassis I and component 6 is positioned by similar attachment of flange 9 to bulkhead I of chassis 2. Engagement of components and 6 is accomplished through opening ll of chassis I and opening |2 of chassis 2. Inner conductor l3, intervening dielectric l4, outer conductor l5 and protective covering l6 comprises a coaxial transmission line the input to which would constitute the output of the converter stage. Coaxial line 4 is similar except that its output constitutes the input to the inermediae amplifier stages not shown. Inner conductor I! of fitting component 5 is soldered or otherwise concentrically attached by suitable high-frequency contact means to inner conductor |3 of coaxial line 3. Section l8 of outer conductor I9 is soldered or otherwise concentrically attached by suitable high-frequency contact means to outer conductor I5 of coaxial line 3. Fitting component 6 is similarly attached to coaxial line 4. Section i8 is con centric with outer conductor i9 and the contact is a press fit maintained by means of nut 20 after assembly of the coaxial line and component 5. Section l8 does not extend the entire length of the recess provided therefor in outer conductor IE! but falls short by the amount necessary to provide for internal annular recess 2|A. Internal annular recess 2|A and its counterpart 21A in component 6 provide for the support and positioning of dielectric discs 2| and 21 in a manner to facilitate assembly and disassembly. For example, with nut 2|) disengaged, the subassembly comprising coaxial line 3, section l8, inner conductor l1, and dielectric disc 2| may be removed Inner conductor I! itably engaged sections "A and NB. Sections HA and NB, when engaged, provide an external annular recess 2 IB into which may be fitted dielectric disc 2|. In the assembled condition of the connector, external annular recess 2|B opposes internal annular recess 2|A in such a manner that inner conductor I1 is firmly positioned and aligned with respect to outer conductor l9. Component 6 is similarly constituted so that external annular recess 21B opposes internal annular recess 21A to position internal conductor I40 with respect to outer conductor 29.
When assembled and engaged, coaxial lines 3 and 4 and fitting components 5 and 6 represent a continuous transmission line between the converter and the intermediate amplifier. As hereinbefore explained, it is necessary that fitting components 5 and 6 preserve the continuity of electrical characteristics of the coaxial lines 3 and 4 if objectionable losses and radiation are not to occur between the converter and the intermediate amplifier;
In this invention, two principal means are employed to preserve the continuity of electrical characteristics. The first of these means is the maintenance of a ratio in diameters of inner and outer conductors in accordance with the intervening dielectric so as to secure the same surge impedance at any point along the engaged fitting as exists in the coaxial lines. A variation in surge impedance in passing from coaxial line 3 to that section of fitting component 5 between the end of dielectric l4 and the opposing face of dielectric disc 2| for example would constitute an irregularity in the transmission lin which would produce a reflected wave having a magnitude determined by the extent of the mismatch of the surge impedance.
In order to avoid such a variation in surge impedance, with the resulting reflected waves and loss of fiat line operation between the source of energy and the irregularity, the ratio of the inside diameter of outer conductor Hi to the outside diameter of inner conductor I1 is maintained constant throughout the fitting at all points where air is the intervening dielectric. Furthermore, this constant ratio is fixed at such a value that the surge impedance of the fitting where air is the dielectric is equal to the surge impedance of the coaxial line with its solid dielectric,
Likewise, the ratio of the diameters of the outer and inner conductors of the fitting at the two points where dielectric supporting discs 2| and 21 are installed is so fixed in accordance with the dielectric properties of the disc as to produce a surge impedance at such points equal to that where air is the dielectric and equal to that in th coaxial lines. Thus is preserved the characteristic or surge impedance of the coaxial line from the output of the converter to the input of the intermediate frequency amplifier.
The second principal means employed to preserve continuity of electrical characteristics is by the special construction of the mating elements 28 of component 5 and 29 of component 6. In Fig. 2, these mating elements appear in a discengaged position partly in cross section and comprise in particular an outer conductor having a principal female socket part 5 and male plug part 6 and an inner conductor having a principal female socket part 32 and a principal male plug part 33. As the female socket part 5 and male plug part 6 are brought together for engagement approximately in a coaxial position and direction, mating element 29 enters mating element 28 via chamfered passage 30, the diameter of which decreases as element 29 enters element 28. As soon as bead 3| contacts the wall of passage 30, positive guiding action occurs which, as engagement proceeds, assures coaxiaiity of the two fitting components. Female socket part 32 and male plug part 33 of the inner conductors are both recessed into their respective fitting components in such a manner that their engagement does not begin until mating elements 28 and 29 of the outer conductor have secured coaxiaiity of the fitting components. Further, entrance 34 of element 32 is chamfered to compensate for any slight misalignment of the inner conductors. Thus is prevented any collision damage to the inner conductors which might cause an irregularity in the electrical characteristics of the inner conductor. The unconfined outer diameter of fitting component 6, which has spring metal properties, taken at the crest of bead 3| is slightly greater than the inner diameter of fitting component 5, taken at the trough of groove 35 so that mating element 29 is compressed as it proceeds into tapered passage 30 and cylindrical recessed passage 39. Axial slots in mating elements 29, typified by slots 31 and 38, provide for this compression. When fitting components 5 and 6 are completely engaged,
bead 3| nests with groove 35 locking the assembly into proper position against accidental disengageelement 29 is equal to the uniform inner diameter hereinbefore mentioned as necessary to preserve surge impedance characteristics. The individual fingers of mating element 29, typified by fingers 39 and 40, each provide positive contact at the nest of bead 3| and groove 35 and along passage 36. Thus is prevented the lack of suitable high frequency contact between mating elements 28 and 29 such as might occur with a conventional solid mating construction lacking the spring loaded multi-fingered contact. The unrestrained inner diameter of inner conductor mating element 32, which has spring metal properties, is slightly less than the outer diameter of mating element 33, thus providing a suitable high frequency contact for the inner conductor elements 32 and 33 when engaged. As can be seen, fitting components 5 and 6 are free to rotate with respect to each other without impairing the electrical contacts in any way. Also apparent will be the ease and rapidity of completing the contact since the fitting components are self-aligning and selflocking. Disengagement occurs readily in response to definite tension applied coaxially.
Dependance upon the limited beam action capabilities of the inner conductors of'the coaxial lines for support of the inner conductors of the fitting components is eliminated. In this invention, and as shown in Fig. 1, dielectric discs 2| and 21 support and align inner conductor elements I1 and I 40, thus preserving the concentricity required for continuation of'uniform electrical characteristics.
While the embodiment shown is primarily designed for operation with transmission lines carrying frequencies in the lower ultra-high-frequency range, the extension of this invention to the centimeter wave region of the spectrum can be made by purely mechanical refinements not justified in the embodiment shown. Typical of such refinements would be to maintain the outer diameter of the inner conductor of the fitting as nearly as possible the same as that of the inner conductor of the coaxial line and to maintain the inner diameter of the outer conductor of the fitting the same as that of the outer conductor of the coaxial line. Since, as indicated by the foregoing refinements, physical discontinuities in the centimeter wave region have a greater tendency to produce electrical irregularities, another desirable refinement is to reduce the overall' length of the fitting to a minimum.
I It will be apparent that the transmission line terminal fitting herein disclosed has a variety of applications other than that shown in the embodiment of Fig. 1. With suitable modifications, it can be used for a large number of fittings of which unions, adaptors, connectors, and Ts are examples,
Since certain further changes may be made in the foregoing constructions and different embodiments of the invention may be made without department from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter shown in the accompanying drawings or set forth in the accompanying specifications shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
