. 5 Claims. (Girl-78AM section 3. The upper 'end of the sleeve "I is closed byadiscB. r The operation of the system. of Figure 1 is as follows: Assume that the line 5 is fed by a radio frequency source, E, and thatequalloads, Z and Z, are connected to the lines 9 and H. When current is flowing upward on the inner: conductor of the line 3, an equalicurrentimustifiowidownward on the inner surfacesof the outer conductor ofthe line':3;- Therefore, theflcurrent flows out on the inner conductor of 9. The return*cur- =rent,.on the inner surface of the outer conductor ofhline 9 flows across the disc-8 to the inner'surface of the outerconductor of line H, through the'load Z and back to the outer-conductor-of line -3. The current cannot fiowvinto'the high imp'edanceof the stub I, 3-and'must'gorback downthe inner surface of the outer conductor -oiline 3; Thus the same current flows through "bothloads Z and Z, but in opposite directions, i; e. toward ground in one load-while away iroin "ground in the other. The loads Zand'Z are effectively in series with each other across theinthis line across the line' I I is substantially infinite,
-'=and*doesnot affect the new of current to "the load Z At frequencies other than" resonance, the short-circuited quarter wave section presents a relatively low impedance across the 1mm but not'across the line 9. The greater the 'diii'erence between actual frequency and the resonant frequency, the greater will be'the difference between the currents flowing to the loads Z and Z. In accordance with prior art practice'; the effect of'the short-circuited line I :3 is balancdf' by means of a second short-circuited quarter 'wave line 'se'ction I, 3'; shunted-across the line t as illustrated in Figure2. In'the system of Figure 2, the lines 9 and H are shunted by substantially identical quarter wave stubs, and although the reactances of the stubs vary with frequency; the 's'ameamount of reactance is shunted-across each of'thej balanced lines at all frequencies; so that the balanced'line currents are equal, -independjently of frequency. However, if 'the "frquenc'y of; operation is varied widely from the resonant frequency, the reactances of the short' circuited stubs will vary accordingly; seriously afiecting the 'efliciency of the power transfer throughithe "convertor circuit. The band width' over which theyconverter-twill operate effi'cientlydependsyupon 5 Z, and Zc being related to the terminal impedance has a value within the range of 90 to 100 percent Z0 of the convertor as follows: of that of the quantity:
