    摘要: A 180.degree. power divider accepts an input signal and splits it into two output signals that are equal in amplitude and differ in phase by 180.degree.. In a first region, an unbalanced input signal travels along a trace on a circuit surface of a substrate. On the opposite surface is a ground plane. In a second region, the ground plane tapers to a width that is substantially equal to the width of the signal trace. As a result, opposite the signal trace is a return signal trace of substantially the same width. In this region, the signal is a balanced signal, and for the current flowing in the signal trace, there is an equal but opposite current flowing in the return signal trace on the opposite side. In a third region, the return signal trace is brought to the circuit surface of the substrate and a second ground plane is provided on the opposite surface. This second ground plane is floating with respect to the first ground plane. The return signal differs in phase from the other signal by 180.degree..

    摘要: A coaxial-waveguide assemblage is disclosed herein of the invention includes a first coaxial transmission line having a first inner and a first outer conductor. The inventive assemblage further includes a waveguide electromagnetically coupled to the first coaxial transmission line, where an inner surface of the waveguide bounds a signal propagation space. The waveguide is also electromagnetically coupled to a second coaxial transmission having a second inner and a second outer conductor. The inner conductor of the second coaxial transmission line is disposed to rotate about a first vertical axis, thereby enabling the second coaxial transmission line to be connected to a rotating antenna. In a particular implementation the coaxial-waveguide assemblage is disposed within a rotary joint operative to couple electromagnetic energy between first and second signal ports. An axially elongated dielectric sleeve, disposed about the second inner conductor, will preferably be dimensioned to extend into the waveguide propagation space. The rotary joint will generally include a bearing arrangement interposed between the second outer conductor and the axially elongated dielectric sleeve of the second coaxial transmission line. Tuning of the coaxial-waveguide assemblage is facilitated by a tuning cavity in communication with the propagation space.

    摘要: A dual-band octafilar helix antenna operational at two frequencies, while maintaining a relatively small package size. The dual-band octafilar antenna is manufactured by disposing radiators and a feed network onto a flexible substrate and forming the substrate into a cylindrical shape to obtain the helical configuration. The dual-band octafilar helix antenna includes four active radiators which are matched to a first frequency and disposed on a radiator portion of the flexible substrate. Four additional radiators, which may be either passive or active radiators, are matched to a second frequency, are also disposed on the radiator portion of the substrate and interleaved with the active radiators. At least one feed network is provided on a feed portion of the substrate that provides 0.degree., 90.degree., 180.degree., and 270.degree. signals to active radiators. The sets of radiators and associated feed networks may be formed on opposing sides of a single substrate or on spaced apart layers in a multi-layered support substrate design.

    摘要: A quadrifilar antenna is comprised of four radiators which, in the preferred embodiment, are etched onto a radiator portion of a microstrip substrate. The microstrip substrate is formed into a cylindrical shape such that the radiators are helically wound. Also etched onto the microstrip substrate is a feed network that provides 0.degree., 90.degree., 180.degree. and 270.degree. signals to the antenna radiators. The feed network utilizes a combination of one or more branch line couplers and one or more power dividers to accept an input signal from a transmitter and to provide therefrom the 0.degree., 90.degree., 180.degree. and 270.degree. signals needed to drive the antenna. For receive operations, the feed network utilizes these same components to receive the 0.degree., 90.degree., 180.degree. and 270.degree. signals from the antenna radiators and to provide a single output signal to a communications receiver. The power divider accepts an input signal and provides therefrom two output signals differing from each other in phase by 180.degree.. The branch line coupler accepts an input signal and provides therefrom two output signals differing from one another in phase by 90.degree..
