Detailed description Referring now more particularly to Figs. 1, 2 and 3,
, 2,877,429 Fatented Mar. 10,
there is represented a high frequency wave translating device comprising a pair of elongated, outer conductors nect the outer conductors 10 19 and 11 providing ground planes. Elongated, inner conductors 12 and 13 in direct contact with each other and electrically functioning as a single conductor are disposed in parallel with and fixedin insulated spaeed relation between the outer conductors by dielectric members 15 and 16. A resonant, elongated slot '14 is formed in the outer conductor 10 intersecting an axis parallel with the inner conductor 12 as shown. The inner conductors 12 and 13 have tapered portions 23 as shown for matching the impedance of the sandwich transmission line to the slot. Aplurality of conductive rods 17 conand 11 through the dielectric members 15 and 16 adjacent the opposite sides ofthe slot 14. One of the rods 11 is disposed in the vicinity of each corne-r of the outer conductor as defined by the intersection of the-innerconductor and the slot. -A wave guide transmission line 18 is connected to the outer conductor 10 with a propagation boundary adjacent each extremity of the slot 14 as shown in Fig. 2. The guide 18 is mounted on the outer conductor 10 with, for example,
r The embodiment shown in Fig. 4 differs from that represented by Figs. 13, inclusive, in that in Fig. 4 a conductor tab 24 extends from theouter conductor 11) into the slot 14 for tuning the slot and matching its impedance to that of the transmission line.
Operation Co nsidering now the operation of the wave translating device just described and referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3,
energy is propagated along the sandwich transmission line toward the slot '14 in the wellknown TEM mode.
The outer conductors 1'0 and 11 provide boundary ground vicinity of the intersection between the s'lot14 and the inner conductors 12 and #13 substantially increasest'he radiation efiiciency of the slot 14. Inserting a conductive rod 17 in the vicinity 'of each corner in the outer conductor '10 as defined'by the intersection of the inner conductors 12 and 13 and the slot 14 increases the radiation eificiency to approximately 50 percent. Additional rods 17 inserted along the opposite edges of the slot 14 as shown produce an increased efficiency approaching 65 percent. By connecting the wave guide 18 to the sandwich transmission line as described above, conventional modes of propagation within the guide are excited. In the embodiment shown herein in which a rectangular wave guide is utilized as an example,'the device becomes a mode transducer in which the TEM mode of sandwich line is transformed into, for example, TE mode in the ,guide '18. The enhanced radiation efficiency produced by the insertion of the conductive rods 17 clearly establishes the re-enforcement of the forward energy propagated by the slot with energy which tends to be radiated backwardly by the slot. This implies further that the backward radiating energy is reflected and radiated from the slot in phase with the forward propagating energy.
In the embodiment of Fig. 4 the tab 24 provides a means for varying the effective electrical length of the slot 14 for the dual purpose of tuning the slot to its resonant frequency and matching the impedance of the slot to the line. It will be apparent that where the device is utilized to translate energy from the sandwich transmission line to space, for example, as when used as an antenna, the impedance of the slot difiers from the condition where translation to wave guide transmission line is desired. Similarly, the resonance characteristics change and must be compensated.
It will be apparent from the foregoing described operation that the insertion of the conductive rods 17 greatly enhances the radiation efliciency of a resonant slot in sandwich line. The present invention greatly enhances the application of sandwich line to antennas and transmission lines, particularly wave guides.
While applicant does not intend to be limited to any particular dimensions in the embodiment of the invention just described, there follows a set of dimensions for the more important components which have been found to be particularly suitable at a frequency of 9,375 megacycles.
The slot, as shown in Fig. 1, is .900 inch long and .060
inch wide. The inner conductor is .165 inch wide and the outer conductors not less than .35 inch wide. The conductive rods 17 are .060 inch in diameter and spaced longitudinally and transversely .250 inch apart. The slot 14 and inner conductors 12 and 13 are centered relative to the four conductive rods in the vicinity of the intersection of the slot 14 and the inner conductors 12 and 13. The boundary defining surfaces on the guide are .900 inch apart and .400 inch long. The wave guide 18 as used herein silver plated and the conductors of the sandwich transmission line are .00135 inch thick and silver plated to approximately a depth of .0001 inch. The dielectric members 15 and 16 are .067 inch thick and formed from Teflon Fibreglas as manufactured by Continental Dimond Fiber Company.
