This invention relates generally to microwave apparatus and more particularly to improved methods of and means for providing variable reactance and attenuation of 'microwaves in a waveguide transmission system.
One of the principal disadvantages of many ltypes of conventional waveguide variable attenuators and tuningdevices is that relatively movable metallic elements provide objectionable contact effects which cause undesired variations in the microwave current distribution in the waveguide conductors. Various types of movable metallic contact devices have been developed to minimize this eiiect by locating all movable mechanical contacts at points of minimummicrowave current distribution. A necessity for such construction can be overcome by eliminating relatively movable metallic elements and substituting therefor relatively movable dielectric elements.
It is well known that microwaves may be attenuated by constricting the Walls of a microl wave waveguide transmission system to a dimension less than 1/2 wavelength along the magnetic axis of wave propagation when the dielectric is provided in the constricted waveguide portion1 by employing therein a combination of fixed and movable relatively high dielectric constant elements, proportioned and having dielectric constants such that free transmission of microwaves occurs only` in such regions as are completely occupiedA by both the fixed and movable dielectric elements.
The ratio of the portion of the constricted waveguide employing only an air dielectric, or
only the iixed dielectric, or only the movable.
dielectric, to that of the constricted waveguide portion entirely occupied by both fixed and movable dielectric elements, determines the effective reactance and attenuation of 'the constricted waveguide portion. The portion ofthe onstrictedy waveguide entirely occupied by high `dielectric constant material therefore will provide a transmission path having extremely` low attennation since the effective cutoff wavelength of this portion of the guide will be above-that of the transmitted microwaveenergy.` The resultant attenuation of the entirely constrictedwaveguide portion may be dependent upon thedegree of penetration of the movable high4 dielectric constant material within the constricted waveguide portion. f H
' Theinstant invention is an" improvement upon `the invention described in the copending application of Eugene O. Keizer, SerjNo. 597,467,` led October `23, 1943, Aupon which UAS. Patent 2,427,098 wasigranted on September` 9, `194:7, entitled Variables attenuators for centimeter waves, and assignedto thesame "assignee `as the instant application. One embodiment of the invention described in said copending application comprises a waveguide having a constrictedportion connected, through a tapered waveguide'portion, to a waveguide of conventional dimensions for the frequency to be transmitted.` `A tapered slug of high dielectric constant solid material may be moved longitudinally along the guide to vary the lengthcf the constrcted'waveguide portlonproviding high microwave attenuation. A second embodiment of the invention described in said copending application comprises a constricted waveguide portion including means for introduc- `ing therein a high dielectric constant liquid.
Various mechanical and hydraulic means are disclosed for actuating the high dielectric constant elements in the two embodiments. A
`.Another invention related to theinstant in- `vention is disclosed in the copending U. vS. application of Ernest0. Linder, Ser. No. 485,356,1iiled May 1, 1943, upon which U. S. Patent 2,423,396 was granted on July 1, 1947, entitled Waveguide attenuatorsand assigned to the same assignee as the instant application. The Linder application discloses various means for inserting energy absorptive dielectric elements within a waveguide 'to provide desired microwave attenuation.-
lhe instant invention inclu-des improved means Vfor obtaining the `desire-d attenuation of `microwaves within a portion` of 'a Wave guide transmission system constricted to less than the cutoii Wavelength, wherein a movable solid high constant dielectric element cooperates with a xed high constant dielectric element within the constricted waveguideA portion, to provide a variablelength path of high `microwave attenuation within the constricted waveguide portion.
A iixed low-loss, high constant dielectric element 35; occupyingthe full cross-sectional area of the constricted waveguide 33 for a portion of its length, and a fractional portionof the constricted waveguide portion for the balance of its length, is inserted within the constricted waveguide portion adjacent the generator waveguide 3|. A movable low-loss, high constant dielectric element 31 is longitudinally adjustable within the constricted waveguide portion 33 to provide a region 1I which also is completely occupied by high constant, low-loss dielectric material. The portions of the constricted waveguide which-are entirely occupied by the high constant dielectric elements `provide regions of low microwave attenuation I, II.`
The end portions of the constricted waveguide portion, `iridicaiied as regions III, IV, provide high microwave attenuation eiectively to prevent leakage of microwave energy from the ends of the constricted waveguide 33. An output waveguide 39,` similarly proportioned tothe input waveguide 3|, is` coupled to the constricted waveguide portion 33 within the region II of low microwave attenuation. The resultant attenuation provided by the constricted waveguide portion 33,`there fore, will be relatively low in the regions I and II and relatively high in thefregion V which is of adjustable length. v i
Since the movable dielectric element 31 may be inserted to any desired position within the constricted waveguide portion 33, it will be apparent that the region Y may be made as short or as long as desired, and that the attenuation dependent thereon may be varied from relatively low to relatively high values, The movable dielectric element 31 may include an indicator 4I operated' in cooperation with a fixed scale 13 to indicate the attenuation inserted in the waveguide transmission system for predetermined positions of the i movable solid dielectric element 31;
" Thus the invention disclosed comprises improved methods of and means for inserting variable reactance in a `waveguide transmission system by means of relatively fixed and movable solid low-loss dielectric elements, thereby providing means for` controlling the attenuation or for measuring the frequency of microwave energy in a waveguide transmission system.
