BAND STOP FILTER FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC wmzs Filed Dec. 29, 1945 H -+1 INVENTOR HENRI GUTTON JEAN ORTUS/ BYW AGENTS Patented May 15, 1951 BAND STOP FILTER FOR ELECTRO- MAGNETIC WAVES Henri Gutton and Jean Ortusi, Paris, France, as-
signors to Compagnie Generale de Telegraphic Sans Fil, a, corporation of France Application December 29, 1945, Serial N 0. 638,371
In France December 14, 1943 Section 1, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 Patent expires December 14, 1963 8 Claims. (Cl. 17s 44) This invention relates to band stop filters for electromagnetic waves propagated in the interior of a dielectric conductor and has for its object the provision of an apparatus which, arranged in a conductor of any shape traversed by a suitable wave, permits the transmission of electromagnetic waves over a definite width of band embracing a fixed frequency to be stopped, whilst fully ensuring the transmission of the other frequencies. The width of band passing through the filter determines the selectivity of the filter.
The invention consists essentially in arranging in the interior of the conductor a conductor frame the section and the angular setting or orientation of which may be modified as desired from the exterior, means for adjusting the section and the orientation being, furthermore, provided.
The invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings which give by way of example one method of carrying the invention into effect. The example of the application of the invention described relates to the case of conductors of rectangular section traversed by a wave of the H01 type, but it will be appreciated by any one skilled in the art that the invention may be adapted to other types of conductors and waves.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 illustrates in elevation and in section an apparatus constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a plan view of Figure 1; and
Figures 3a and 3b are are transmission curves of a conductor provided with an apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention; the curve in Figure 3a is drawn corresponding to the angle of orientation of the frame and the curve in Figure 3b is drawn corresponding to the length of the frame.
Referring to the drawings, a conductor frame of rectangular profile ABCD is arranged in the interior of the conductor G (Figures 1 and 2). The longitudinal axis of the frame is coaxial with longitudinal symmetrical axis ZOZ' of the upright section of the conductor. The frame is carried by rods E and F arranged coaxially with the said axis ZOZ'. The upper rod E is provided with a disc N, of a thickness corresponding to that of the wall, and confined, with a certain lateral play, between two other bored discs M and M between which it can rotate and slide slightly. The lower rod F is provided with a terminal swivel joint U fitted in a spherical recess carried by the extremity of a threaded rod L constituting an extension of the rod F, and screwing into and through the wall of the conductor G where it terminates outside in a knob B1. The length of the frame may be made variable by telescoping the lower part of the frame (whichmay be made of a hollow tube) over the upper fixed part. This sliding action is effected without any change in the orientation of the plane of the frame by means of the threaded screw actuated through the medium of the knob B1. A spring K, arranged in the interior of the sliding tube, connects the lower and upper parts of the frame, and permits of a displacement corresponding to the threaded length of the screw L.
The whole of the frame as far as the spherical head U is rotatable about the axis thereof by means of the two toothed wheels 01 and C2. The wheel C2 is rotatable about an axis 0' through the medium of a rod L connected to a knob B2 and is operable to rotate the wheel C1 which is connected to the rod E. The angle of rotation of the knob 31 which can be read on a scale, denotes the length Z of the frame. The angle of rotation of the knob B2, also indicated on a dial,
enables the angle 6 from the normal of the plane of the frame with the propagation axis of the conductor to be determined.
The indications read on the scales of the said length and angle, together with the curves of variation of the coefiicient of transmission corresponding with the angle of the frame or its length, are employed to determine according to the values chosen, the corresponding coefficient and the band width or, conversely, to determine the angle and the length according to the coefiicient of transmission and the width of band desired.
The value of the coeflicient of transmission of a wave H01 of frequency N and wavelength may be determined as a function of l and of 0 and there may be traced either the curves T=f1(0) with Z as parameter, or the curves T=f2 (Z) with 0 as parameter.
There are obtained the two groups of curves of the Figures 3a and 3b. In Figure 3a, 01, stands for the angle orientation of the frame when l=Z1+dZ1 and T= /2. And in Figure 31), lo stands for the minimum distance AD when the upper part of the frame extends as far as possible into the hollow tubes of the lower part of the frame and the springs are most compressed.
Assuming that the frame is tuned at Z1 in resonance on the frequency N of wave x, if I is maintained at Z1 curve T=f1 (0) will be that.
marked Z1 on Figure 3a passing through points assaaie ABCDI. On Figure 3b the corresponding points will be abcdi all located on the line 1:11.
If, however, the length of the frame varies. by an amount dli the frame is no longer; tuned to frequency N and even for a value =1r/2 the wave will no longer be completely arrested and curve.
T=f1 (0) will pass through points ABCD'I' on Figure 3a marked Z1+dl1.
On Figure 3b't-he cor responding points will be a'b'cdi' all onthe in a direction perpendicular toyrthe wafls of the guide, a threaded stem prolonging the axis of 1 said other member through a wall of the guide The same procedure can. beapplied to each value of Z giving the curves of Figure 3a. Further'-- more, since points ABCD, A'BM'C'D' etc. correspond to specific valves of 0 (respectively 7r/2,'1r/4,.
1r/5, 1r/l4) by joining on Figure 3b such points as ea, bb, cc, dd etc. the group of. curves ob;-
tained on this figure will also correspond to those valves of 0. The dotted lines connectingthe two figures clearly show how the curves correspond.
Moreover on Figure 3b, the curve for 0:0 will of course correspond to T=1 since the frame'oifers no resistance to the wave in this position.
What we claim is:
1. In a. guide-for ultra-short electro-magnetic waves, a frame having the same cross-sectional shape as the guide taken in a plane perpendicular' to the walls thereof, said frame being tuned to admit the frequency of a given wave among those carried by the guide, and means for varying the angular setting of said frame about an axis contained in the plane thereof and perpendicular tothe wall of the guide.
