Abstract
A wave-guide having at least two connection points. In order to adapt a physical distance between these points to a variable distance between connection points of external equipment, at least one connector (20) is provided having a first connecting member (31) for connection to a connection point (28) of the wave-guide and a second connecting member (33) for connection to a connection point of the external equipment. The connecting members of the connector are laterally displaced such that rotation of the second connecting member (33) about the first one (31) results in a variation of the distance between the second connecting member and another connection point of the wave-guide.
Claims8
A wave-guide having a fixed electrical length between connection points thereof and for adapting a physical distance (d) between said connection points to a varying distance between connection means (13, 14) of equipment (11, 12) to be connected to said wave-guide while maintaining said fixed electrical length, said fixed electrical length being constituted by at least a portion of a wave-guide member (24) received in a wave-guide housing (21) and two connectors (20) connected to said wave-guide member at discrete points therealong, at least one of said connectors (20b) including first (31) and second (33) connecting members mutually connected for signal transmission therebetween and having a first and a second axis, respectively, said first connecting member (31) being connected to said wave-guide member to be rotatable about said first axis, characterized in that said second axis (Cp) is offset in relation to said first axis (Cs).
A connector for a wave-guide having a fixed electrical length between connection points (16, 17) thereof and for adapting a physical distance (d) between said points to a varying distance between connection means (13, 14) of equipment (11, 12) to be connected to said wave-guide while maintaining said electrical length, said connector (20) having a first end having a first connecting member (31) for connection to one of said connection points (28a) of said wave-guide and a second end having a second connector portion (33) for connection to a-said connection means (13, 14), said first and second connecting members (31, 33) having a first (Cs) and a second (Cp) axis, respectively, characterized in that said first (Cs) and second (Cp) axes are laterally displaced relative to one another.
