  • Fig. ,7 represents in schematic diagram form a standing wave detector for all-dielectric wave-guide systems in accordance with the invention.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates how a flexible all-dielectric wave guide may be used to connect a fixed electromagnetic wave device to an electromagnetic wave device for which a certain degree of movement is required, such as a movable probe in a measuring system, for example, in a standing wave detector.
  • This arrangement may be illustrated by a portion of a standing wave detector comprising a section of metallic wave guide 11 having a slot 12through which a probe 13 projects for coupling to a second metallic wave guide 14.
  • a dominant TEic mode wave is set up in guide 14 proportional to the amplitude of the electric field in guide 11 at the position of probe 13.
  • This energy is to be coupled to some electromagnetic wave device having a fixed position, illustrated on Fig. l by way of example, as detector 15.
  • a flexible all-dielectric wave guide 16 comprising a flattened strip of dielectric material.
  • a strip of laminated polyfiex has proven satisfactory. Any other material, however, having a dielectric constant substantially ditferent from that of air or that of free space and therefore having a phase velocity for electromagnetic wave energy substantially difierent from the phase velocity of energy in free space may be used, for example, polyethylene and Teflon, to mention. only several specific materials.
  • the dominant TE mode in. guide 14 is launched as a .dominant" wave upon dielectric guide 16.
  • This dominant wave is thelowest order hybrid electromagnetic wave whose transverse electric field pattern closely resembles that of the dominant TE wave in metallic shielded transmission lines.
  • metallic shielded line there are an infinite .numberof the higher order tion low, it is preferable to use slender dielectric guides which will force a major part of the wave power into the surrounding. space. waves "are so loosely held that they are fairly easily stripped off by reflecting or absorbing objects along the length of the guide. Consequently, the higher order waves: will not seriously interfere with the dominant mode transmission.
  • dielectric rods of :circular crossasection have been used to transmit wave power along a straight and rigid path.
  • these rods are made flexible or bent along a curving path, an increased and substantial amount of wave power of the desired mode launched at one end of the curved alldielectric guide with a specific plane of polarization is lost by degeneration intoother modes polarized at a difierent angle to the original polarization which are not therefore of the polarization selected by a receiving means at the other end of the guide adapted to select the original polarization.
  • a circular guide is used to transmit dominant wave power from a transmitter to a receiver as in Fig.
  • the transverse cross-section of all-dielectric guide 16 is provided with difierent orthogonal dimensions.
  • guide 16 is of rectangular cross-section having a long dimension thereof zsubstantially; three times the small dimension For such guides the higher order thereof. It has been found that the cross-sectional dimension of the guide determines the phase velocity of a wave polarized parallel to that dimension.
  • a wave mode polarized parallel to one of the faces of the rectangular cross-sectional guide will have a phase velocity substantially different from every other mode.
  • the wave polarized parallel to the longer dimension of the cross-section is more closely confined to the guide than the wave polarized parallel to the short dimension.
  • the former will, accordingly, have a lower phase velocity and a higher attenuation than the latter wave.
  • the desired dominant mode when launched in a specific polarity at one end of guide 16 polarized parallel to the short dimension thereof as illustrated in Fig. 1, it will propagate along guide 16 with the plane of polarization of the Wave always following a plane of constant phase velocity.
  • Fig. 1 While the all-dielectric guide 16 of Fig. 1 has been illustrated as having a rectangular crosssection, it should be kept in mind that the principal consideration of the cross-sectional shape requires that the guide have different orthogonal transverse dimensions in any given cross-section so that the phase velocity of dominant wave energy polarized parallel to one of these dimensions is substantially different from the phase velocity of dominant wave energy polarized orthogonal thereto.
  • oblong or elliptical cross-sections such as the cross-section of guide 19 represented in the alternative cross-sectional view of Fig. 1A may be used if the lengths of the major axes: thereof are different. Long slender guides of these cross-sections are easier to make by presently known methods of manufacturing, such as extruding.
  • any of these cross-sections there will be two principal polarizations for the dominant wave, one polarized along the maximum and the other polarized along the minimum dimension of the cross-section. Since the phase velocities of these two waves are greatly unequal, no appreciable crosstalk would be developed between them by any exist" ing distributed coupling along the guide.
  • a rectangular, elliptical or oblong cross-sectional, all-dielectric wave guide may be used to simultaneously transmit or receive two dominant waves polarized at right angles to each other.
  • the horn means for launching the energy upon the guide corresponding to horns 17 and 21 ofFig. 1, should have a cross-sectional shape consistent withthe cross-sectional shape of the guide.
  • Fig; 2 illustrates a specific embodiment of directional coupler, in accordance with the invention, for coupling between two all-dielectric transmission paths.
  • the coupler includes a main transmission path which can be a straight.
  • strip 26 of all-dielectric wave guide of the type hereinbefore described with reference to Fig. l and an auxiliary transmission path which can be a smoothly curved portion of a strip 27 of similar material which arches into proximate relation to a portion of strip or guide 26.
  • Guide 26 and guide 27 should preferably have equal propagation velocities for electromagnetic wave energy of any frequency and this may be obtained if the guides are of materials having equal dielectric constants and having the same cross-sectional dimensions. As illustrated the corresponding narrow faces of each of strips 26 and 2'7 are in the same plane, while the transverse dimensions of the wider faces thereof are parallel.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates one particularly novel means comprising a block 28 of any material having a low loss and a low dielectric constant substantially close to that of air and, therefore, substantially different from the dielectric constant of the material of guides 26 and 27.
  • Block 28 has a straight slot 29 therein into which guide 26 is pressed and a curving slot 30 into which guide 27 is pressed.
  • a suitable substance for block 28 is foamed polystyrene material.
  • a sheet 31 of similar material may be suitably fastened across the slotted face of block 28.
  • the forward and backward ends of both the main and auxiliary paths may be coupled by horns similar to horn 17 of Fig. 1 to related metallic wave-guide systems and the device of Fig.
  • FIG. 2 can then serve the functions therein for which the prior art directional couplers are employed.
  • Such connections are represented schematically on Fig. 2 by a source of signal energy 32 coupled to the backward end of guide 26, a useful load 34 coupled to the forward end thereof, and by matched loads 33 and 35 coupled to the backward and forward ends, respectively, of guide 27.
  • the spacing between guides 26 and 27 is chosen to determine the amplitude of coupling, which in turn determines the amount of power transferred between the guides.
  • auxiliary guide 27 is brought closer to guide 26 with electromagnetic wave energy applied from a source represented by 32 to the backward terminal of the main line of the coupler, i. e., the left-hand end of guide 26, the power transferred to the forward terminal of guide 26 to load 34 gradually drops to zero at which time most of the power will be found in the forward terminal of guide 27 for transmission to load 35. Substantially none of this power appears in the backward terminal of guide 27. Bringing the guides closer causes the power in the forward terminal of guide 26 to increase and the power in the forward terminal of guide 27 to 6 decrease again to zero.
  • This cycle may be repeated several'tiines before contact is made between guides 26 and 27 at their center point. By altering the spacing, therefore, between guides 26 and 27 any coupling ratio may be obtained.
  • a minimum spacing of one-half centimeter between the center points with guide 27 bent in a 12 inch radius was found to provide a 3 decibel coupling loss, i. e., equal division of power in the forward direction in both guides, and a directivity of well in excess of 30 decibels.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates an alternative directional coupler in accordance with the invention.
  • the supporting block 36 of polyfoam is provided with two straight slots 37 and 38, one in each of the opposite faces thereof.
  • Theaxes of each of the slots lie, respectively, in planes which intersect each other at an acute angle along a line perpendicular to the slotted faces of block 36.
  • the all-dielectric'wave guides 39 and 40 similar in all respects to guides 26 and 27 of Fig. 2.
  • the maximum point of coupling between the guides is at said line of intersection and the degree of coupling is determined by the distance between guides 39 and 40 as measured along this line.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates an embodiment of the invention in which the all-dielectric guides are coupled in the magnetic plane.
  • a straight strip 42 and a smoothly curved strip 43 of all-dielectric wave guide are supported by block 44 with the corresponding narrow faces of each parallel and with the wider faces of guide 43 tangent, respectively, to the planes of the wider faces of guide 42.
  • the maximum degree of coupling between the guides is thus determined by the spacing distance between adjacent narrow faces measured parallel to these planes of tangency.
  • each of the directional couplers illustrated in Figs. 2, 3 and 4 resides in the fact that the precise point along one or both of the paths at which the effective electrical point of directional coupling is obtained may be varied easily and at will. This feature was never found in the prior art metallic shielded transmission lines for which the point of coupling was substantially unalterably determined by the position of the slots, apertures or openings which were cut or otherwise formed in contiguous portions of the respective shields of the coupled lines.
  • either or both of the component dielectric wave guides of the directional coupler may be slideably contained in the slots of the supporting block.
  • block 23 may be moved along the path between source 32 and load 34, guide 26 sliding within slot 29 so that guide 27, carried along with block 28, may be caused to couple to guide 26 at any point between source 32 and load 34.
  • Such adjustment may be made during operation while one or both of the guides are supporting electromagnetic wave energy. The particular application of this feature will be demonstrated hereinafter in connection with Fig. 7.
  • any of the above-disclosed directional couplers when adjusted for maximum transmission of the power between Ithe lines may serve as a means for electrically joining two dielectric guides having the same phase velocity when it is otherwise difficult to physically weld or suitably join two sections of dielectric wave guide.
