Definitions
- the present invention relates to a waveguide coupler.
- a conventional waveguide coupler has, for example, the shape shown in FIG. 1, and has obtained good characteristics over a wide band even though it is relatively small. In recent years, there has been a tendency to demand a wider band, and it has become difficult to cope with conventional waveguide couplers. There is a need for such improvements in electrical characteristics.
- waveguide couplers have various frequency menus, even different frequency menus may use the same size waveguide interface. In such a case, rather than manufacturing waveguide couplers corresponding to each frequency characteristic, the force S and cost performance of manufacturing one waveguide coupler with a wide band design are increased. There is a need for such productivity improvements.
- Patent Document 1 by adding a ridge, the cut-off frequency of the TE10 mode (TE: Transverse electric) is lowered without changing the inner diameter of the waveguide. This broadens the frequency characteristics of the waveguide itself. Couplers using such waveguides also have expanded frequency characteristics.
- TE Transverse electric

- Patent Document 2 JP-A-10-126118
- an object of the present invention is to provide a waveguide coupler that improves electrical characteristics and productivity.
- An embodiment of the present invention that achieves the above object relates to a waveguide coupler characterized by forming a groove along the waveguide wall in the vicinity of the coupling portion.
- the groove is formed along the inner wall or the outer wall of the waveguide wall. Further, both sides of the side wall of the groove may be formed along the waveguide wall, or the groove may be formed in multiple stages.
- At least one of the width, position, and depth of the groove is adjusted in at least one of the vicinity of the inlet of the waveguide coupler and the vicinity of the outlet of the outlet of the waveguide coupler. It is characterized by doing.
- the waveguide coupler of the present invention exhibits a function equivalent to the presence of a ridge in the vicinity of the coupling portion by forming a groove along the waveguide in the vicinity of the coupling portion.
- a wide band of various frequency characteristics can be realized, and electrical characteristics in various frequency menus can be improved.
- digging a groove rather than a ridge increases the number of ways of digging a groove with better manufacturing workability, so cost performance can be improved and productivity can be improved.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the configuration of the waveguide coupler 10 of the present embodiment.
- This waveguide coupler 10 is composed of four ports 1, 2, 3, 4 and grooves 21, 22, 23, 24 along the waveguide wall near the coupling.
- the grooves 21 and 22 are formed along the inner wall, and the grooves 23 and 24 are formed along the outer wall.

- FIG. 3 illustrates a state of electromagnetic wave transmission performed by the waveguide coupler 10.
- Illustrations 21 to 24 are omitted.
- (1) TE10 mode is input from port 1 in area I
- (2) TE10 mode and (3) TE20 mode are excited in area IV.
- region ⁇ (4) TE10 mode is excited to port 3
- (5) ⁇ 10 mode is excited to port 4.
- Fig. 4 shows the waveforms of electromagnetic waves in each mode (1) to (5).
- the rectangular waveguide used in each region has a frequency characteristic
- the frequency characteristic of the rectangular waveguide has a frequency characteristic of the waveguide coupler. It can be said that it dominates.
- a ridge waveguide as shown in Fig. 5 (b) as means for expanding the frequency characteristics of a rectangular waveguide as shown in Fig. 5 (a).
- the ridge waveguide provides a wide frequency characteristic by providing a ridge to lower the cutoff frequency of the waveguide.
- the characteristics of the ridge waveguide are applied to the region II in FIG. 3, which is the coupling portion of the waveguide coupler, to broaden the coupling characteristics.
- port In the areas 0 and IV of! ⁇ 4, that is, in the vicinity of the inlet of the inlet port and in the vicinity of the outlet of the outlet port, at least one of the width, position and depth of the grooves 21 to 24 is adjusted to guide the connection. Connect continuously with the tube.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the basic characteristics of a conventional waveguide coupler (having the configuration shown in FIG. 1).
- the coupling amount (S41, S31) is -3.1 ⁇ 0.3 dB with a relative bandwidth of about 10%, and the return loss (Sl l, S21) is _24 dB.
- FIG. 7 is a graph showing the basic characteristics of the waveguide coupler 10 of the present embodiment.
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the coupling amounts (S41, S31) in FIG. binding amount in it the band about 26 0/0 (S41, S31 ) f or _ 3. a 1 ⁇ 0. 3 dB, the return loss (S11, S21) is - 21 dB, and the broadband waveguide coupler compared to conventional To improve productivity and improve productivity. Since the grooves 21 to 24 are formed along the waveguide wall in the vicinity of the coupling portion, the same function as that in the case where the ridge exists in the vicinity of the coupling portion is exhibited, and the TE10 mode and the TE20 mode are cut.
- the off characteristics can be adjusted almost equally.
- the frequency characteristic adjustment method increases, so that the frequency characteristic can be expanded and the waveguide for realizing the characteristic can be selected in a shape that is easy to manufacture. Therefore, digging a ditch rather than a ridge increases the number of ditch digging operations that are more manufacturable, thus increasing cost performance and improving productivity.
