Abstract
Apparatus and method for transmitting microwave energy to or from a coaxial cable transmission line. A conductive ring is positioned between and spaced from the inner and outer conductors. The ring has two diametrically opposed conductive stubs extending laterally outwardly therefrom. One stub extends through and is electrically separate from the outer conductor. The other stub extends to and is electrically connected with the outer conductor.
Claims6
In an apparatus for transferring microwave energy to or from a coaxial cable transmission line having inner and an outer conductors, the improvement comprising:
- a conductive ring positioned between but spaced from said inner and outer conductors, said ring having two diametrically opposed conductive stubs extending laterally outwardly therefrom, one said stub extending through and electrically separate from said outer conductor, the other said stub extending to and electrically connected with said outer conductor.
A method of transferring microwave energy to or from a coaxial cable transmission line having inner and outer conductors, comprising:
- positioning a conductive ring between but spaced from the line's inner and outer conductors, electrically connecting said ring at one circumferential position to the outer conductor to form a short to said outer conductor, and transferring energy to or from said ring via a conductive stub extending laterally outwardly from said ring at a position diametrically opposite the short to said outer conductor.
