Abstract
A transmission line transition for coupling together a coaxial transmission line and a parallel plane radial transmission line, the transition including upper and lower circular plates having conforming inner curved surfaces spaced from each other to define an air dielectric transmission line comprising, in succession, a coaxial air line section, a transition air line section, and a radial air line section.
Claims15
A transmission line transition for coupling together a coaxial transmission line and a parallel plane radial transmission line, comprising:
- a lower circular plate having an upper surface of revolution generated by a smooth curve segment concave with respect to an axis of revolution and rotated about said axis, one end of said curve segment being relatively closely spaced from said axis while the other end of said curve segment being approximately parallel to a line perpendicular to said axis;
- an upper circular plate having a lower surface of revolution conforming to the shape of said upper surface of said lower circular plate;
- and
- separation means disposed between said upper and lower surfaces of revolution for maintaining a desired uniform separation distance between said surfaces and thereby defining successively a coaxial air line section, a smooth transition air line section, and a radial air line section coextensive with said plates.
