Abstract
Disclosed is an iris waveguide switch capable of efficiently transmitting and switching a signal between two desired inputs and two desired outputs in high power applications, which is generally used in various applications such as millimeter wave radar, satellite systems and RF test setup. The iris waveguide switch includes two main parts: an inner cylinder and an outer cube. Periodic irises prevent the signal propagating through the gap between the inner cylinder and the outer cube to the side surface of the inner cylinder, guiding the signal into the inner cylinder bend. The inner cylinder, rotated by a drive mechanism, switches the incoming signal between two inputs and two outputs.
Claims2
An iris waveguide switch comprising:
- an inner cylinder which switches an incoming signal by rotation between two inputs and two outputs;
- an inner cylinder bend which is machined on the inner cylinder for propagation of the signal;
- an outer cube enclosing the inner cylinder and that fixes the inlet and outlet of the inner cylinder;
- four ports, two inputs and two outputs, where the signal enters and exits, formed on the outer cube;
- irises positioned on an outer side surface of the inner cylinder, preventing the propagation of the incoming signal from a gap between the inner cylinder and the outer cube to the side surface of the inner cylinder and directing the signal to the inner cylinder bend.
