Abstract
The resonator is formed with a primary line which is slightly less than a ltiple of a half wavelength long, a tee, and a matching stub. The primary line and the stub are adjustable to make the total length a multiple of one half wavelength. A mechanical link can be connected across the two adjustable lengths so as to maintain a total length of a multiple integral of one half wavelength.
Claims4
A high-frequency resonator comprising a tee connection having first and second arms extended from an in/out port;
- first and second sliding joints on the ends of said first and second arms respectively;
- third and fourth arms having one end connected to said first and second sliding joints respectively;
- the other ends of said third and fourth arms being connected to electrical short circuits;
- and said third and fourth arms being moveably mounted on said sliding joints so as to vary the length of said arms.
