- the transmission direction of the microwave indicated by the solid arrow M1 generated at the coupling point P1 of the microstrip line 13 is the rotation direction of the microwave radiated from the cross opening 11.
- the directions are almost the same. For this reason, the energy of the microwave indicated by the solid line arrow M1 is not reduced.
- the time t t0 + T / 2 shown in FIG.
- the transmission direction of the microwave indicated by the solid arrow M3 generated at the coupling point P1 of the microstrip line 13 is the microwave radiated from the cross opening 11.
- the direction is opposite to the rotation direction. For this reason, the energy of the coupled microwave is reduced. Therefore, the amount of microwave indicated by the solid line arrow M3 is smaller than the amount of microwave indicated by the solid line arrow M1.
- the magnetic field indicated by the broken line arrow B4 excites the other long hole 11f of the cross opening 11, and a thin solid line at the coupling point P2 on the microstrip line 13 A microwave indicated by an arrow M4 is generated.
- the microwave indicated by the thin solid arrow M4 is transmitted toward the coupling point P1.
- the reason for reducing the thickness of the solid line arrow M4 is the same as the reason for reducing the thickness of the solid line arrow M3 described above.
- the traveling wave transmitted in the direction of the arrow 30 radiates counterclockwise from the cross opening 11. Most of the microwaves are output to the output unit 131 of the microstrip line 13. On the other hand, most of the microwave radiated clockwise from the cross opening 11 by the reflected wave transmitted in the direction of the arrow 31 is output to the output unit 132 of the microstrip line 13.
- the first transmission line 13a and the second transmission line 13b may be provided symmetrically with respect to a straight line that passes through the opening center portion 11c of the cross opening 11 and is perpendicular to the tube axis L1 in plan view. preferable. Thereby, the detection separation degree of a traveling wave and a reflected wave can be improved.
- the distance 13g (see FIG. 4) between the first transmission line 13a and the second transmission line 13b may be set as follows.
- FIG. 7 is a polar coordinate diagram showing the characteristics of the reflected wave power detection port in the directional coupler with the interval 13g being 4 mm.
- FIG. 8 is a polar coordinate diagram showing the characteristics of the reflected wave power output port in the directional coupler with the interval 13g being 2 mm.
- the data shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 is obtained as follows. First, a waveguide 10 having a width dimension of 100 mm, a height dimension of 30 mm, a wall thickness of 0.6 mm, a length 11w of the cross opening 11 of 20 mm, and a width 11d of the cross opening 11 of 2 mm is prepared. A microwave input terminal is connected to one end of the waveguide 10, and a load capable of changing the level and phase of the reflected wave is connected to the other end of the waveguide 10. Thereafter, a microwave signal is input from a microwave input terminal, and the level and phase of the reflected wave are changed by a load, and the amount of microwaves detected by the output units 131 and 132 of the microstrip line 13 is measured with a network analyzer.
- the amount of microwave (traveling wave) detected by the output unit 131 is S21
- the amount of microwave (reflected wave) detected by the output unit 132 is S31.
- S31 to S21 are calculated and developed on the polar coordinate display of the Smith chart.
- a reference plane (a plane in which all traveling waves are completely reflected and the phase changes by 180 degrees) 50 is shown with reference to the input terminal of the load.
- the center of the polar coordinate display indicates that the reflected wave amount S31 is “0 (zero)”.
- the circumference which is the outermost contour of the polar coordinate display, indicates that all traveling waves are reflected waves. That is, the closer to the circumference, which is the outermost contour of the polar coordinate display, the amount of reflected wave S31 increases. Therefore, the value obtained by subtracting the amount of traveling wave from the amount of reflected wave (S31-S21) becomes small (since FIGS. 7 and 8 are expressed in dB, the negative numerical value becomes small).
- the circumferential direction of the polar coordinate display is related to the phase, and indicates the phase of the reflected wave at the position where the directional coupler is disposed (however, in FIGS. 7 and 8, the load input surface is used as a reference).
- the phase is a relative display because it is a surface). That is, on the same circumference in polar coordinate display, the phase of the reflected wave is different, but the amount of reflected wave (power level) is the same. Accordingly, when a value (S31-S21) obtained by subtracting the amount of traveling wave from the amount of reflected wave is developed on polar coordinates, the contour lines are ideally concentric.
- the contour lines (thick lines) are substantially concentric. Therefore, by setting the distance 13g to 4 mm, the installation position of the directional coupler can be set even in an environment where a reflected wave exists (that is, an environment where a standing wave is generated in the waveguide 10). It can be seen that it can be designed freely and the practical value can be increased.
- the contour lines (thick lines) are decentered from the center of the polar coordinate display.
- FIG. 6 shows the direction and amount of microwaves transmitted through the microstrip line 13 at each time on the assumption that there is no time delay due to the gap between the microstrip line 13 and the cross opening 11.
- the transmission time until the microwave indicated by the solid line arrow M1 reaches the coupling point B from the coupling point A is t1.
- the gap 13g is 4 mm, the gap between the wide surface 10a of the waveguide 10 and the printed circuit board B surface 12b is 6 mm, and a plane 5 mm away from the wide surface 10a of the waveguide 10 (ie, 1 mm away from the microstrip line 13).
- the phase difference between the coupling points A and B in the plane was determined by computer analysis, it was about 55 degrees. Further, the phase difference between the coupling points A and B when the computer analysis was performed under the same conditions except that the gap 13g was 2 mm was about 38 degrees. Further, the phase difference between the coupling points A and B when the computer analysis was performed under the same conditions except that the gap 13g was 8 mm was about 9 degrees.
- the phase difference between the coupling points A and B on the microstrip line 13 is calculated from the effective propagation wavelength of the microwave, the phase difference is about 55 degrees. Even when the gap 13g is changed to 2 mm, 4 mm, and 8 mm, the length of the microstrip line 13 from the coupling point A to the coupling point B is the same.
- the phase difference between the coupling points A and B obtained by computer analysis matches the phase difference between the coupling points A and B calculated from the effective propagation wavelength of the microwave. become.
- the microwave indicated by the solid line arrow M1 and the microwave indicated by the solid line arrow M2 are in phase at the coupling point B.
- the two microwaves are added, transmitted on the microstrip line 13 toward the output unit 131, and output to the output unit 131.
- FIG. 7 it is possible to realize the characteristic that the contour lines are substantially concentric. Therefore, the installation position of the directional coupler can be freely designed even in an environment where reflected waves exist, and the practical value can be increased.
- the phase difference between the coupling points A and B obtained by computer analysis is different from the phase difference between the coupling points A and B calculated from the effective propagation wavelength of the microwave. It will be.
- the contour line has a characteristic decentered from the center of the polar coordinate display. Therefore, in an environment where a reflected wave exists, the detection characteristic changes depending on the installation position of the directional coupler, and the practical value becomes poor.
- phase difference between the coupling points A and B can be optimized by appropriately setting the distance 13g according to the gap between the wide surface 10a of the waveguide 10 and the printed circuit board B surface 12b. .

- the gap 13g is 4 mm

For example, when the shape and size are set as described above, the amount of microwave radiated from the cross opening 11 with respect to the amount of microwave transmitted through the waveguide 10 is about 1/10000 (about ⁇ 50 dB). .
- FIG. 9 is a polar coordinate diagram showing the characteristics of the traveling wave power detection port in the directional coupler set to the shape and dimensions described above. That is, FIG. 9 is a polar coordinate display of the amount of microwave (traveling wave) detected by the output unit 131 (S21).

Degree. The smaller this variation, the easier the signal processing by the detection circuit 15.
