Abstract

Abstract The invention covers transition devices between a coaxial line and a wave-guide. The central core of the coaxial line enters a transverse partial partition in the wave-guide through an opening in it. The core continues in the wave-guide at the level of the partial partition and promotes the passage from an odd TEM type mode to an even, type TE 10, mode and vice versa.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 121 words
A longitudinal transition device for coupling a coaxial transmission line having a central core and an external conductor, and a wave guide, comprising a transverse partition for filling at least partly a transverse section of the wave guide, an adjacent cavity coupled to the wave guide, near said transverse partition, said transverse partition comprising an opening by which the coaxial line central core is introduced and extends rectilinearly in said wave guide, said central core axis being substantially parallel to and offset with respect to the wave guide axis and said coaxial line external conductor being electrically connected to said partition, said cavity extending said wave guide on the same side as said coaxial line with respect to said transverse partition.
