In the copending applications of D. D. Grieg and H. F. Engelmann, Serial No. 227,896, led May 23, 1951, now abandoned, and Serial No. 234,502, filed June 30, 1951, now abandoned, and M. Arditi and P. Parzen, Serial No. 286,764, tiled May 8, 1952, now Patent No. 2,774,046, microwave waveguides comprising generally a lineabove-ground type of transmission line, over which microwave energy may be propagated in a mode simulating a TEM mode are shown. In this type of transmission line, a planar conductor is employed as a ground conductor with a line conductor disposed in spaced parallel relation thereto by means of a strip or layer of dielectric material. The line and planar conductors are preferably of different widths, that is, the planar conductor is made wider than the line conductor so that it appears as an infinite conducting surface to the line conductor, thereby insuring an electric iield distribution characterized generally by the TEM mode. For example, the ield distribution is believed to be similar to that which occurs between one of the conductors of a truly parallel conductor system and the neutral plane between such conductors. The important parameters of this type of transmission line are the width of the line conductor and the dielectric spacing between the line conductor and the planar conductor. v Y
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a transducer for coupling microwave energy between a lineabove-ground type of waveguide and a rectangular type of waveguide; and a further object is to make the transducer arrangement so that the coupling of energy propagated is obtained without appreciable distortion of the mode of propagation.
A feature of the invention involves the extension of a line-above-ground type of waveguide into the rectangular type of waveguide and to provide the portion of the lineabove-ground waveguide with suitable conductive structure to effect proper excitation of the electric and magnetic elds within the rectangular waveguide for propagation of energy in the TEM, mode. Several diierent arrangements of the transducer portion of the line-aboveground waveguide are possible, one being the provision of an enlarged area of the conducting line within the rectangular waveguide and still another is the provision of the conductive post disposed substantially axially of the rectangular waveguide in coupled relation to the line conductor. Still other arrangements include the provision of conductors disposed at right angles to the line conductor extending partially or entirely across the rectangular waveguide, as the case may be.
The above-mentioned and other features and objects of this invention and the manner of attaining them will become more apparent by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
2,829,348 Patented Apr. l, 1958 Figure 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing one form of transducer in accordance with the principles of this invention;
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2--2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a modified form of transducer;
Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4--4 of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view similar to the view shown in Figure 4 of a further embodiment of the invention;
Figure 6 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the invention; and
Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 7-7 of Figure 6.
Referring to Figures l and 2 of the drawings, the line-above-ground type of waveguide is shown to comprise a first conductor 1, a second conductor 2 spaced apart by a thin strip or layer of dielectric material 3. The two conductors 1 and 2 are preferably of at strip form, the iirst conductor being wider than the second conductor so that propagation of microwave energy therealong is in an approximate TEM mode as hereinbefore explained. The dielectric material may be polystyrene, polyethylene, Teflon, fiberglass or laminated fiberglass impregnated with Teiion, quartz, or other suitable material of high dielectric quality. The conductors 1 and 2 are preferably formed on the dielectric strip by any of the known printed circuit techniques, the one preferred being an electrolytic etching process. l
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the line-above-ground type of waveguide is extended through a slot 4 contained in one of the walls 5 of a rectangular waveguide 6. While the two waveguides are shown at right angles, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that the lineabove-ground type of waveguide may be disposed at an angle other than with respect to the waveguide'6.
The lirst conductor 1 is connected to the wall 5 and protrudes therebeyond into the rectangular waveguide a suitable distance for impedance matching purposes. In some transducer construction the first conductor 1 may be terminated at the wall 5 but in the present embodiment it is preferred to have the conductor 1 extend part way across the waveguide. The dielectric strip 3 may also terminate part Way across the waveguide but is here shown'as extended all the way across since the strip is normally used as a support for the conductors 1 and 2. The line conductor 2 is extended into the rectangular waveguide in spaced relation to the wall 5, the slot 4 being made suliciently wide to provide proper mechanical and electrical clearance. Adjacent the inner end of the conductor 2 s a conductor 7 disposed crosswise thereof to effect the desired launching ofthe microwave energy fed over the line-above-ground into the rectangular waveguide and vice versa. The conductor 7 may be a separate piece of conductive material attached to the conductor 2 or it may be made integral as shown, it being predetermined and etched at the same time the conductor 2 isfound. The conductor 2 is shown to extend beyond the crosswise conductor 7 to provide a stub 8, which is of such length and width as to provide optimum impedance matching for the operating frequency. The rectangular waveguide is provided with a trap 9 to the backside of the conductor 1 which may be adjusted by plunger 10.
By way of example of the operation of a transducer in accordance with the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, the following dimensions are hereby furnished of an actual working model designed for 4700 mcs/sec. tangular waveguide was 2" x 1", the conductor 1 was chosen to be 2 wide so as to be received within the The reco liductorlZc, in contact with the conductor 15. '14 and 15 are of such size as to provide proper mechanrespect to walls of the waveguide' 6c.
anfragen 4 timurn impedance matching may be obtained by proper adjustment of the stub 19.of the line conductor 2c extending below the conductor 16 as viewed in the drawings. The trap formed by the end wall 13 is desirable since there may be poor contact between the planar conductor 1c and certain of the walls of the waveguide 6c.
