Abstract
A feeding apparatus is utilized for a waveguide. The waveguide includes an opening and a bottom periphery around the opening. The bottom periphery includes a feeding side. The feeding apparatus includes a substrate and a feeding segment. The substrate is connected to the bottom periphery of the waveguide. The feeding segment installed in the substrate is utilized for feeding a signal into the waveguide, which the feeding segment extends to the opening from a position of the feeding side different from midpoint of the feeding side.
Claims10
A feeding apparatus for a waveguide, the waveguide comprising an opening and a bottom periphery around the opening, the bottom periphery comprising a feeding side and a diametric side, wherein the waveguide is semicircle shaped, the bottom periphery is semicircle ring shaped, and the feeding side is semicircle arc shaped, the feeding apparatus comprising:
- a substrate connected to the bottom periphery of the waveguide;
- and
- a feeding segment installed in the substrate for feeding a signal into the waveguide and extending to the opening from a position of the feeding side different from midpoint of the feeding side, comprising:
- a first segment located outside the opening;
- a second segment located inside the opening and connected with the first segment;
- and
- a third segment inside the opening and connected with the second segment, wherein the third segment is bent to extend to the diametric side.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a waveguide comprising an opening and a bottom periphery around the opening, wherein the bottom periphery comprises a feeding side and a diametric side and the waveguide is semicircle shaped, the bottom periphery is semicircle ring shaped, and the feeding side is semicircle arc shaped;
- a feeding apparatus comprising:
- a substrate connected to the bottom periphery of the waveguide;
- and
- a feeding segment installed in the substrate for feeding signal into the waveguide and extending to the opening from a position of the feeding side different from midpoint of the feeding side, comprising:
- a first segment located outside the opening;
- a second segment located inside the opening and connected with the first segment;
- and
- a third segment inside the opening and connected with the second segment, wherein the third segment is bent to extend to the diametric side;
- and
- a carrier having a containing space formed on the communication apparatus for holding the feeding apparatus, and coupled to the waveguide.
