Abstract
Improved waveguides, transitions, and conductors for propagating electromagnetic energy. A device includes a waveguide port, two or more coaxial waveguides, and a transition disposed between the waveguide port and the two or more coaxial waveguides. The transition combines or divides electromagnetic energy propagating between the waveguide port and the two or more coaxial waveguides.
Claims21
A device comprising:
- a waveguide port;
- two or more coaxial waveguides;
- and
- a transition disposed between the waveguide port and the two or more coaxial waveguides, wherein the transition combines or divides electromagnetic energy;
- wherein the waveguide port, the two or more coaxial waveguides, and the transition is a single indivisible element manufactured with metal additive manufacturing in a positive z-axis direction relative to a build plate;
- and
- wherein the two or more coaxial waveguides are spaced apart from one another with spacing less than or equal to one wavelength of a working frequency of an antenna element.
