This application is a continuation of applica= tion Serial No. 580,053, filed February 27, 1945, for Coaxial Transmission LineSwitch.
This invention relates to a switch for direct.- ing energy from a coaxial transmission line into either of two associated similar coaxial transmission lines.
In transmission systems employing connected transmission lines having different characteristics a major problem is encountered in maintaining constant surge impedance of the line throughout the junction between the diiierent transmission lines in order to prevent energy losses due to reflection. The same problem is encountered when connecting transmission lines having similar characteristics through a switching means. Transmission line switching devices have been provided heretofore opera-bleto form a connection between one transmission line and either of two other transmission lines. However, the prior devices are not constructed in a manner so that constant surge impedance is maintained between connected lines throughout the switch. In particular, the prior devices do not include means for eliminating the efiect of the unconnected line on the surge impedance of the connected lines, which effect inherently exists since the lines are necessarily mounted in close proximity within the switching device. Moreover, due to the construction of the switch actuating mechanism the prior devices include a cavity, which is large with respect to the external cross-sectional dimensions of the transmission lines, for enclosing such mechanism and :into which :the trans mission lines extend. Compensating means, such as adjustable capacitors, are provided in an attempt to compensate for the abrupt and severe capacity variations between connected lines due to the cavity, however, such compensating means are'not satisfactory in maintaining constant surge impedance throughout the switch, for eitherposition of operation thereof, especiallywhen the device is employed for transferring ultra-high :frequency energy.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel switch for connecting a transmissionline to eitherof two-similar transmission lines, having a substantially constant surge impedance.
A further object is to provide ,a novel switch having the foregoing characteristics including an inherently low percentage of reflection and associated energy loss.
. Another obj ect. is: to provide a coaxial transmission line switch in which :the capacity per :unit
ngth between inner and outer conductors is maintained substantially constant throughout the SW1; Qh.
Qther objects and features of the present invention will appear more fully hereinafter from consideration of the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawing-s which disclose one embodiment of the invention. 'It is to be expressly understood, however, thatthe drawings are designed for the purpose of illustration only and are not to be construed as a definition of the limits of the invention, reference for the latter purpose being had to the appended claims.
In the drawings, wherein similar reference characters denote similar elements through the several'views:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of the top view of a transmission line switch constructed in accordance with the principles of the present inv n ion;
F ,l igl. 2 is aside view of the switch disclosed in Fig. 3 is-a side view of the'switch disclosed in Fig. -1 with the front cover removed therefrom;
Fig. 5 is a detailed illustration of one of the elements included in the device shown in Fig. 3, and
Fig. 6 is .a sectional illustration along the offset section lines 6-16 of Fig. 3.
With referencemore particularly to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, a transmission line switch constructedin accordance with the principles of the present invention is disclosed therein including a substantially rectangular housing It provided with a front cover plate I i Three coaxial trans" mission lines 12, i3 and M, each including inner and outer conductors, are shown entering the housing til from the left, top and right, respectively, as viewed in-Fig.-2. The transmission lines I12, 13 and 14 may constitute connection members to which ex;tended ,coaxial transmission lines are adapted to be j ined. The housing [0 has tabs I 5 securedthereto-for use in mounting the switch 011 a l ppfllt- Asshown in Fig. 3, the inner conductors of the coaxial lines 12 and 14 extend into the housing It in axial alignment, and the inner conductor 2-! of t -he. coaxial;line 3| 3 extends into the housing H3 ;at right angles with respect to the inner conductors of1lines L2 and 14. The extended inner conductors of th coaxial lines i2 and i4 terminateiinconductors:20 and '22 respectively, while the inner conductor of the coaxial line is terminates in tubular conductor 23 mounted perpendicular thereto in aXial alignment with the conductors 2i! and 22. The outer conductors of the coaxial lines I2, l3 and M terminate at planes 24, 25 and 26 respectively. From planes 24, 25 and 25 throughout the interior of the switch the outer conductors of the coaxial lines areformed by the figuration of the housing [3. As shown, the extended inner conductors 20,.2! and 22 are symmetrically surrounded by cylindrical walls formed in the housing it having diameters equal to the inner diameters of the outer conductors of coaxial lines 12, i3 and M. Polystyrene disc's Eilare provided for supporting the conductors 2i! and 22.
In order to selectively establish contact between coaxial line 13 and either of coaxial lines l2 and H! a movable switch member 3! is mounted for sliding movements inside the tubular conductor 23. The member 3! may consist of a short length of chrome-plated steel rod suitably rounded at each end as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. By reciprocation of the member iii, to the f right or left as viewed in Fig. 3 of the drawings, relative to the tubular conductor 23, the inner conductor 25 of the line is may be connected to either the conductor 20 or the conductor 22. The conductors 223 and 22 are hollow at the terminated ends thereof for reception of the end of the member 3!, and notches 32 are cut axially in the conductors 20, 22 and 23 to form spring fingers normally urged inwardly to maintain firm electrical and mechanical contact with the sliding member 3 I An electro-magnetically operated toggle mechanism is provided for actuating in the switch member 3! in a manner described heretofore. As shown in Figs. 3 through 6, the switch member 3! is actuated in the tubular conductor 23 by a finger 35 constructed of insulating material. The finger 35 extends from a cylindrical rod 33 pivotably mounted by a pin 34. The finger 35 has a square cross-section for operative engagement in square slot 36 provided in the member 3 i. To allow back and forth movement of the finger 35, as the member 3! is actuated, one side of the tubular conductor 23 is provided with a rectangular slot 40. The rod 33 includes an extension 4| of substantially square cross-section at the end thereof opposite the finger 35. The extension ll is provided with an open, longitudinal slot 42 for receiving one end of a toggle member 44 pivotably secured to the end of the extension 4! by means of pivot member 43. The toggle member 44 includes a slot 45 at the other end thereof for pivotably engaging a stationary pin 45 secured to the housing H3. The ends of a plunger 58 positioned transversely through the slot 42, are respectively secured to the armatures, not shown, of actuating solenoids i and 52. The plunger 50 includes an intermediate section 53 which comprises a pair of parallel surfaces to allow operation in the slot 2. A pin 54 is positioned to engage anelongated hole 55 in the section 53 and an elongated hole 55 is provided in the extension M to provide an operating connection between the rod 33 and the plunger 59. Toggle spring 60 is compressed between a shoulder 6! on the toggle member M and a washer $2 bearing against the pin 55 to provide a snap action in the oscillating movement of the rod 33 about the pin 3 5 upon energization of the armatures 5:! or 52. For ease of description the mechanism for actuating the switch member 3: is shown in the mid ositi n of operation. It will be obvious that such position will never be maintained during operation as the switch due to the toggle action of the spring 60. The mid-position shown in the drawings will be attained only momentarily as the mechanism passes from one extreme position to the other.
As mentioned heretofore, the switch provided by the present invention is constructed in such a manner as to maintain continuity of the outer conductors of the coaxial lines through the housing I 0. For ease of manufacture however, a cavity 63, which accommodates the rod 33 and the finger 35, may be provided in the housing In as a continuation of the outer conductor of the coaxial line I3. In order to close the opening thus formed, a sleeve 54, having a longitudinal slot 65 for the passage of the finger 35, is inserted in the housing It) to maintain a continuous cylingirical wall therein between the planes 2t and 6.
In operation, one of the solenoids, for example the solenoid 5!, is energized, pulling the plunger 50 to the left as viewed in Fig. 3. Such movement of the plunger 59 produces clockwise rotation of the rod 33 above the pivot 3 and forces the member 3! into engagement with the conductor 22 of the line M. The spring 60 then functions to bias the plunger 50 to the left so that the solenoid 5| may be de-energized without terminating the electrical and mechanical contact between the member 33 and the conductor 22. Similarly, energization of the solenoid 52 will cause the line 33 to snap in a counterclockwise direction to establish an electrical and mechanical-connection between the member 3i and the conductor 29.
It is to be expressly understood that when the member 3| is moved into engagement with one of the conductors 2a or 22, for example the conductor 20, the right-hand end of the member 3| extends into the tubular conductor 23, and the distance between the common inner conductor 23 and the un-connected inner conductor 22 is maintained equal to the distance between the inner conductors and the outer conductors of the coaxial lines. This relationship maintains the capacity per unit length of the coaxial lines substantially constant so that substantially constant surge impedance is maintained throughout the switch, thus reducing energy losses due to mismatch and reflection.
There is thus provided by the present invention novel switch means for switching one transmission line to either of two associated transmission lines, with the novel means so characterized as to maintain substantially constant capacity per unit length of lines throughout the switch, and hence substantially constant surge impedance throughout the switch, for either position of operation thereof.- Specifically, the foregoing, is accomplished by providing a switch housing having cylindrical passages therein which function as the outer conductors of the transmission lines through the switch, with such passages having continuous surfaces corresponding to the inner surfaces of the outerconductors, and by providing a novel arrangement for forming the desired connection between the inner conductors of the transmission lines wherein the inner conductor of the un-connected transmission line is maintained spaced from the inner conductors of the remaining transmission lines by a distance equal to the space betweenthe inner'and outer conductors of each of the transmission lines. Furthermore, it is to be expressly understood that the novel switch provided herein may be readily sealed without effecting operation thereof for ease of adaptation to such applications as under-water use and for employment in the vicinity of explosives or other chemical substances.
Although only one embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed and described herein it is to be expressly understood that various changes and substitutions may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention as well understood by those skilled in the art, for example, two switch units embodying the principles of the present invention may be placed side by side producing a double pole, double throw transmission line switch, and that one of the solenoids may be removed and replaced by spring under tension to bias the switch to normally maintain a connection between two of the three transmission lines. Reference, therefore, will be had to the appended claims for a definition of the limits of the invention.
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.
