Abstract

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Verzweigungszirkulator für große Hochfrequenzleistungen mit einer gekühlten Ferritstruktur, die in der Wellenleiterverzweigungszone angeordnet und dort einem statischen Magnetfeld ausgesetzt ist.The present invention relates to a branching circulator for large high-frequency outputs with a cooled ferrite structure which is arranged in the waveguide branching zone and is exposed there to a static magnetic field.

Ein derartiger Hochleistungszirkulator ist aus den Druckschriften IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, Vol. MTT-26, No. 5, May 1978 S. 364-369 und IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, Vol. MAG-17, No. 6. Nov. 1981 S. 2957-2960 bekannt. Bei den hier beschriebenen Zirkulatoren besteht die Ferritstruktur aus mehreren durch Luftspalte voneinander getrennten, senkrecht zum statischen Magnetfeld angeordneten Ferritscheiben, welche auf von einer Kühlflüssigkeit durchströmten Metallträgern angebracht sind.Such a high-performance circulator is known from the publications IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, Vol. MTT-26, No. 5, May 1978 pp. 364-369 and IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, Vol. MAG-17, No. Nov. 6, 1981 pp. 2957-2960. In the circulators described here, the ferrite structure consists of a plurality of ferrite disks, separated from one another by air gaps and arranged perpendicular to the static magnetic field, which are attached to metal carriers through which a cooling liquid flows.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Zirkulator der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der für einen Betrieb mit sehr großer Hochfrequenzleistung geeignet ist.The invention has for its object to provide a circulator of the type mentioned, which is suitable for operation with very high radio frequency power.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Ausführungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.Appropriate embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

Durch die Aufteilung des Zirkulator-Ferrits in eine Vielzahl von Kugeln entsteht eine sehr ausgedehnte Kühlfläche, die es ermöglicht, große Wärmemengen abzuleiten. Deshalb kann der Zirkulator mit einer sehr hohen Leistung betrieben werden, ohne daß das Ferritmaterial durch thermische Spannungen zerstört wird.By dividing the circulator ferrite into a large number of spheres, a very extensive cooling surface is created, which enables large amounts of heat to be dissipated. Therefore, the circulator can be operated at a very high output without the ferrite material being destroyed by thermal stresses.

An Hand von zwei zeichnerisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen wird nun die Erfindung näher erläutert.

  • Figur 1 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die Verzweigungszone eines Hohlleiterzirkulators und
  • Figur 2 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die Verzweigungszone eines Streifenleitungszirkulators.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with the aid of two illustrative embodiments.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross section through the branching zone of a waveguide circulator and
  • Figure 2 shows a cross section through the branching zone of a strip line circulator.

Wie der in Figur 1 dargestellte Querschnitt durch die Verzweigungszone eines Hohlleiterzirkulators zeigt, sind in die zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Hohlleiterwände 1 und 2 zwei in das Innere der Verzweigungszone hineinragende Polschuhe 3 und 4 eines nicht im einzelnen dargestellten üblichen Magnetsystems eingelassen.As the cross section shown in FIG. 1 through the branching zone of a waveguide circulator shows, two pole shoes 3 and 4 of a conventional magnet system, not shown in detail, are inserted into the two opposing waveguide walls 1 and 2.

Zwischen den beiden Polschuhen 3 und 4 ist in der Hohlleiterverzweigung ein dielektrischer Zylinder 5 eingefügt, der in Nuten 6, 7 in den einander zugewandten Flächen der Polschuhe eingesetzt ist. Dieser dielektrische Zylinder 5 dient zur Aufnahme mehrere zu einer dichtesten Kugelpackung aufeinandergeschichteter Ferritkugeln 8, so daß ein mit den beiden Polschuhen 3 und 4 in Berührung stehender zylindrischer Ferritkugelhaufen entsteht.Between the two pole pieces 3 and 4, a dielectric cylinder 5 is inserted in the waveguide branch, which is inserted in grooves 6, 7 in the mutually facing surfaces of the pole pieces. This dielectric cylinder 5 serves to hold several ferrite balls 8 stacked one on top of the other to form a densest packing of balls, so that a cylindrical ferrite ball cluster in contact with the two pole pieces 3 and 4 is formed.

Die Ferritkugeln 8 bilden insgesamt eine sehr große Oberfläche, womit äußerst günstige Voraussetzungen gegeben sind für die Ableitung der in den Ferritkugeln 8 vorhandenen Wärme. Mit Hilfe eines die Ferritkugeln umströmenden Kühlmittels, z. B. Gas oder einer geeigneten dielektrischen Flüssigkeit können auf einfache Weise sehr große Wärmemengen aus dem Ferritkugelhaufen abgeführt werden. Zu diesem Zweck sind in den Polschuhen 3 und 4 Öffnungen 9 und 10 vorgesehen, durch die ein gasförmiges oder flüssiges Kühlmittel in den dielektrischen Zylinder 5 eindringen und nach Durchströmen des Ferritkugelhaufens aus dem dielektrischen Zylinder 5 wieder entweichen kann. Damit kein Kühlmittel aus dem dielektrischen Zylinder 5 in die Hohlleiterarme des Zirkulators gelangt, ist der dielektrische Zylinder 5 mit Dichtungsringen 11 und 12 in den Nuten 6 und 7 der Polschuhe 3 und 4 abgedichtet. Die in die Hohlleiterverzweigung weisenden Öffnungen 9 und 10 in den Polschuhen 3 und 4 sind so dimensioniert, daß sie für das Hochfrequenzfeld im Zirkulator undurchlässig sind.The ferrite balls 8 form a very large surface overall, which provides extremely favorable conditions for the dissipation of the heat present in the ferrite balls 8. With the help of a coolant flowing around the ferrite balls, for. B. gas or a suitable dielectric liquid can easily dissipate very large amounts of heat from the ferrite ball pile. For this purpose, openings 9 and 10 are provided in the pole pieces 3 and 4, through which a gaseous or liquid coolant can penetrate into the dielectric cylinder 5 and escape again from the dielectric cylinder 5 after flowing through the ferrite ball cluster. In order that no coolant from the dielectric cylinder 5 gets into the waveguide arms of the circulator, the dielectric cylinder 5 is sealed with sealing rings 11 and 12 in the grooves 6 and 7 of the pole pieces 3 and 4. The openings 9 and 10 in the pole pieces 3 and 4 pointing into the waveguide branch are dimensioned such that they are impermeable to the high-frequency field in the circulator.

Der direkte Kontakt der Polschuhe 3 und 4 mit den Ferritkugeln 8 schafft einen recht kleinen magnetischen Widerstand für das sich zwischen den Polschuhen ausbreitende statische Magnetfeld. Als Folge davon kann das fur d ie Magnetisierung des Ferritkugelhaufens erforderliche Magnetfeld von einem weniger aufwendigen Magnetsystem aufgebracht werden.The direct contact of the pole pieces 3 and 4 with the ferrite balls 8 creates a very small magnetic resistance for the static magnetic field spreading between the pole pieces. As a result, the magnetic field required for the magnetization of the ferrite ball cluster can be applied by a less complex magnet system.

In der Figur 2 ist ein Schnitt durch einen Verzweigungszirkulator in Streifenleitertechnik dargestellt.FIG. 2 shows a section through a branching circulator using stripline technology.

Der Innenleiter 14 bildet zusammen mit den als Außenleiter dienenden Polschuhen 3 und 4 eine in Streifenleitungstechnik ausgeführte Wellenleiterverzweigung. Bei diesem Streifenleiter-Verzweigungszirkulator sind alle Teile, die Bauteilen des Hohlleiterzirkulators entsprechen, mit den gleichen in Figur 1 verwendeten Bezugszeichen versehen. Im Unterschied zum Hohlleiterzirkulator sind hier zwei mit Ferritkugeln gefüllte dielektrische Zylinder vorhanden, von denen der eine dielektrische Zylinder 5 mit den Ferritkugeln 8 zwischen der Oberseite des Innenleiters 14 und dem Polschuh 3 und der andere dielektrische Zylinder 5ʹ mit den Ferritkugeln 8ʹ zwischen der Unterseite des Innenleiters 14 und dem Polschuh 4 angeordnet ist. Damit das Kühlmittel von einem dielektrischen Zylinder 5 in den anderen 5ʹ strömen kann, ist der Innenleiter 14 mit Löchern 16 versehen. Die dielektrischen Zylinder 5 und 5ʹ sind gegen das Ausströmen von Kühlmittel an den Polschuhen 3 und 4 und auf dem Innenleiter 14 abgedichtet. Der Innenleiter 14 kann aus magnetisch leitendem Material bestehen, um den magnetischen Widerstand der Anordnung zwischen den Polschuhen klein zu halten. The inner conductor 14 forms, together with the pole shoes 3 and 4 serving as the outer conductor, a waveguide branching which is implemented using stripline technology. In this strip conductor branching circulator, all parts which correspond to components of the waveguide circulator are provided with the same reference symbols used in FIG. 1. In contrast to the waveguide circulator, there are two dielectric cylinders filled with ferrite balls, one of which dielectric cylinder 5 with the ferrite balls 8 between the top of the inner conductor 14 and the pole piece 3 and the other dielectric cylinder 5ʹ with the ferrite balls 8ʹ between the bottom of the inner conductor 14 and the pole piece 4 is arranged. So that the coolant can flow from one dielectric cylinder 5 into the other 5ʹ, the inner conductor 14 is provided with holes 16. The dielectric cylinders 5 and 5ʹ are sealed against the outflow of coolant at the pole pieces 3 and 4 and on the inner conductor 14. The inner conductor 14 can be made of magnetically conductive material in order to keep the magnetic resistance of the arrangement between the pole pieces small.
