Definitions

  • This invention relates to ultra high frequency apparatus and more particularly to devices for holding crystals in coupled relation with microwave transmission circuitry.
  • the new system employs, usually, two conductors, one as a ground conductor and the other as a line conductor spaced close together in substantially parallel relation.
  • the so-called ground conductor which may be at ground potential or some other given potential, is considerably wider than the line conductor so that the surface thereof provides in effect an image reflection of the line conductor, whereby the distribution of the electric and magnetic fields between the conductors is substantially the same as the distribution between one conductor and the neutral plane of a twoconductor parallel system.
  • One of the objects of the invention is to provide a device to hold a crystal unit in coupled relation with a conductor of a microwave transmission system.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an impedance matching relation between a coaxial line and, more particularly, a coaxial line form of crystal holder and theabove described line-ground conductor type of system.
  • One of the features of the invention is the means by which an impedance match is obtained between the crystal holder and the conductors of the line-ground conductor system.
  • the impedance matching relation is obtained by counter-sinking with respect to the conductive surface of the ground conductor, the shell of the crystal. holder for axial coupling of the terminal of the crystal and the line conductor.
  • This counter-sunk relationship is determined by the diiference, on the one hand of the size and spacing of the crystal holding shell and terminal, and on the other hand, of the size and spacing of the line-ground conductors.
  • the difference in the shape of the holder shell and the ground conductor also presents a discontinuity, but this may be compensated 2,734,170 Patented Feb. 7, 1956 for by the provision of a body of dielectric material of proper size and dielectric characteristic disposed coaxially with respect to the terminal connection for the crystal.
  • Another feature of the invention is its adaptability for location at an angle ,to the line conductor.
  • This angular coupling in .one form is obtained by providing an opening in the wide ground conductor with the shell of the holder disposed against the ground conductor in concentric relation to the opening so that the terminal of the crystal unit or an adapter therefore may extend through the opening to the line conductor.
  • a body of dielectric material may be disposed either as a bead or a layer between vthe line and ground conductors. Where the line and ground conductors are separated by a layer of insulation the line conductor may be extended beyond the connection to the crystal so as to provide a tuning stub for matching purposes.
  • Another feature is to connect such a tuning stub to the ground conductor in such a manner as to form when required a direct current return path about the crystal.
  • Fig. l is a view in side elevation with parts broken away in section to show a crystal holding device in a.,- sociation with a line-ground conductor system;
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of a line-ground conductor arrangement with a crystal holder indicated in broken lines disposed at right angles to the line conductor;
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of Fig. 2 showing the angular positioning of the crystal holder;
  • Fig. 4 shows a variation that may be applied to the crystal arrangement of Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional View similar to Fig. 3 showing the application of a crystal holder to a line-ground conductor system such as indicated in Fig. l.
  • the microwave transmission system illustrated comprises a first or line conductor l and a second or ground conductor 2.
  • the ground conductor is preferably of sheet or ribbon form, although other forms may be used, having a width considerably greater than the width of the line conductor 1.
  • the conductor 2 for example, may comprise one of the walls of a chassis or other part of the electric apparatus with which or in which the transmission system is used.
  • the ground conductor 2 mayextend a considerable distance laterally with respect to the line conductor but for practical purposes the width of the ground conductor may be twice or three times the width of the line conductor.
  • the purpose of having the ground conductor of a width two to three times greater than the width of the line conductor is to provide in effect an image reflection of the line conductor so that the distribution of the electric and magnetic fields between the conductors is similar to the distribution between one conductor and the neutral plane of a two-conductor parallel system.
  • Microwave energy may be launched onto the lineground conductor system by any suitable means, a coaxial line 3, 4 being shown by way of illustration as one satisfactory form of launching device. Since the coaxial line coupling arrangements presents an impedance matching problem similar to that of the crystal holder, the principrles of this invention are applicable to both,
  • the outer conductor 3 of the coaxial line is countersunk with respect to the upper surface of the conductor 2 so as to bring the inner conductor 4 into alignment with the line conductor 1.
  • the reason for the counter-sinking is that the spacing between the conductors 1 and 2 for a given characteristic impedance is usually smaller than the spacing between the inner and outer conductors of the coaxial line of corresponding impedance.
  • the outer conductor 3 is connected to ground conductor 2 as indicated at 5.
  • ground conductor 2 is of suicient thickness
  • it may be cut away to provide a recess 5 of suicient depth to receive the outer conductor 3 in desired coupled relation.
  • the discontinuity between the shape of the outer conductor 3 and the ground conductor 2 may cause some perturbation of the waves.
  • the dielectric bead 6 at the end of the coaxial line is so selected as to overcome the effects of this discontinuity.
  • the crystal holder comprises an outer cylindrical shell 7 of conductive material which corresponds to the outer conductor 3 of the coaxial line.
  • the conductor 2 may be cut away to provide a recess S to receive the shell 7 in a coaxial relationship with respect to the line conductor 1.
  • An insulating sleeve 9 is receivable in one end of the shell 7 so as to receive a crystal unit 10 in insulated supporting relation within the shell 7.
  • the conductor 1 is of suiiicient size it may be provided with an axial opening 11 for socket reception of the terminal 12 of the crystal.
  • the end of the shell 7 adjacent the terminal connection is provided with a bead of dielectric material 13 of sufficient dielectric characteristic to compensate for any mismatch present due to the discontinuity between the cylindrical shape of the shell 7 and the flat shape of the conductor 2.
  • the crystal may be coupled in circuit by connecting a line 15 to the end terminal 16 of the crystal 10 through a load resistor 17 and connection 13 to the line conductor 2 grounded at 19.
  • the detected output across the resistor 17 is thus obtained by connection 20.
  • the sleeve 9 is of such thickness and dielectric quality as to provide a bypass condenser for R. F. energy about the crystal unit 10.
  • FIG. 2 and 3 another embodiment of the invention is shown wherein the line-ground conductor arrangement is provided on a layer of insulation 21.
  • the line conductor 22 is shown in the form of a flat ribbonlike conductor, while the ground conductor 23 is preferably in the form of a thin sheet of conductive material.
  • the conductors 22 and 23 may be applied to the layer 21 in any known manner such as by one of several so called printed circuit techniques.
  • the ground conductor 23 is provided with an opening 24 and the insulating layer 21 is likewise provided with an opening 25 which is coaxial with respect to the opening 24.
  • the shell 26 which is provided with an end flange 27 is connected to the ground conductor Z3 in coaxial alignment with the openings 24 and 25.
  • a terminal connector or adapter 2.3 Disposed within these openings is a terminal connector or adapter 2.3 which contains an opening 29 in one end thereof to receive the terminal 12 of the crystal unit 10 While the other end 30 is adapted to be received in an opening 31 cut through the conductor 22.
  • the end 30 is electrically connected to the conductor 22 by swedging it in the opening or by soldering. lf desired, the end 30 may be brazed or soldered direct to the line conductor.
  • the shank of the connector 28 is provided with a circumferential flange or shoulder 32 which is adapted to position the connector against the insulating layer 21 during fabrication.
  • a crystal holder was made in accordance with this embodiment for a crystal (type INZS-B) to operate in the 4700 mc. region.
  • the conductor 22 is extended beyond the terminal connection to provide a tuning stub 33.
  • a connector clip or other connections 34 may be applied to connect the conductors 23 and 33 at a desired point out from the connection at 31. Such a connecting clip is illustrated in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 5 the crystal holder is shown applied to a spaced line-ground conductor arrangement similar to that of Fig. l.
  • the ground conductor 2 is slightly indented as indicated at 3S and provided with an opening 36 for alignment with the interior of the crystal holder 37.
  • the indentation 35 is provided to receive a bead of dielectric material 38 which may be used to at least partially support the conductor 1 but mainly to provide sufficient dielectric material coaxially of the terminal connector 39 for crystal i0 to compensate for any mismatch present due to the discontinuities of the cylindrical shape of the shell 37 and the terminal connection with respect to the shapes of the ground conductor 2 and line conductor 1.
