Abstract
A tiltable RF joint for high power coaxial RF lines includes a first outer conductor with a first inner conductor centered therein and a second outer conductor with a second inner conductor centered therein. The first inner conductor that contains a joint socket is mechanically coupled to a joint ball of the second inner conductor and forms a socket-ball connection. The first inner conductor also contains a center contact surface that is shaped as a spherical segment and that is in contact with a center contact spring of the second inner conductor. Any one of the outer conductors has an outer conductor contact spring that is in contact with an outer conductor contact surface at the other outer conductor.
Claims10
An RF joint for high power coaxial RF lines, the RF joint comprising:
- a first outer conductor with a first inner conductor centered therein,
- a second outer conductor with a second inner conductor centered therein,
- the first inner conductor comprising a joint socket being mechanically coupled to a joint ball of the second inner conductor and forming a socket-ball connection, the first inner conductor further comprising a center contact surface having a shape of a spherical segment,
- the center contact surface further being in contact with a center contact spring of the second inner conductor,
- wherein:
- the first outer conductor has an outer conductor contact spring, that is which is in contact with an outer conductor contact surface at the second outer conductor, or
- the second outer conductor has an outer conductor contact spring, which is in contact with an outer conductor contact surface at the first outer conductor.
