Synchronous generating or amplifying H.F. energy arrangement, especially in the millimeter wave range

Abstract

Abstract 1. A arrangement for the synchronized generation or amplification of high frequency power, in particular in the millimetre wave range, with a quasi-optically constructed power divider arrangement (A) for a synchronizing signal (Psyn ), which is fed to a number of oscillators, and a quasi-optically constructed power addition arrangement (B) for the combinaison of the synchronized output powers (Padd ) of the oscillators, wherein the power divider arrangement (A) and the power addition arrangement (B) are built up as circular segments (1), which are bounded perpendicularly to the circular plane by metal plates at spacings which are at most equal to gamma /2, and the input (3) and the output (4) of the arrangement are respectively disposed in the centre of the circle, while the oscillators (2) are coupled in by way of waveguide openings (6, 7) in the circular outline (1), characterized thereby, that the power divider arrangement (A) and power addition arrangement (B) are arranged separately each from the other in two planes one above the other and their respective waveguide openings, arranged one above the other, are each connected to a respective first port (6) and a respective fourth-port (7) of a number of fourth port circulators (10), a respective oscillator (2) is connected to a third port (8) of the respective four-port circulators (10), that a respective short-circuit slide (11) for the phase adjustement of the oscillator signal is connected to a second port (9) of the respective four-port circulators (10), which is disposed in the synchronizing signal path, and that the direction of circulation is given from the first port by way of the second prot, by way of the third port and finally to the fourth port (Figs. 4 and 5).
