摘要： A continuous transverse stub antenna array that comprises phase tuning sections disposed between adjacent stub elements. The antenna array includes a sheet of dielectric material having a plurality of transverse stub elements extending from a first surface thereof. A first metal layer is disposed on the first surface and side surfaces of each of the stub elements, and a second metal layer is disposed on a second surface of the sheet of dielectric material that forms a ground plane of the array. A plurality of tuning sections are formed in the sheet of dielectric material and are disposed between each of the stub elements that extend laterally across the sheet of dielectric material. The plurality of tuning sections have a cross sectional shape in the form of an inverted T. Each of the tuning section comprises a first parallel plate section comprising dielectric material, a first quarter-wavelength transformer section, a second parallel plate section that is partially filled with dielectric material. a second quarter-wavelength transformer section that is partially filled with dielectric material, a third parallel plate section, and a second stub element that is completely filled with dielectric material. The widths of the first and third parallel plate sections and the widths of the first and second quarter-wavelength transformer sections are substantially the same. Varying the width dimension of the second parallel plate section tunes the phase between the adjacent stub elements.

摘要： A connector which provides an interconnect between a pin and a flat conductor. The connector employs two bundles fabricated of densely packed gold plated wire for the electrical connection to the devices. The bundles are both housed in a dielectric sleeve structure and are themselves connected by a solid conductor. A portion of one wire bundle protrudes from one end of the sleeve structure to make electrical contact with a flat conductor in a mating assembly. The second wire bundle is recessed within the sleeve structure adjacent a second end of the sleeve structure. The pin is inserted into the second end in an installation, making electrical contact with the second wire bundle. The outside body of the connector is threaded, allowing an operator to twist the connector into the mating assembly, not requiring tight tolerances to ensure proper contact. The connector provides a robust electrical connection, and also provides for misalignment of the flat connector in addition to variations in the exact location of the pin. The length of the pin in the mating part can vary considerably, and the connector device still provides a controlled impedance interconnect over microwave frequencies. The connector can be installed in a larger assembly thus providing a large number of interconnections to be mating simultaneously. This is accomplished by providing clearances and tapers in the mating housing.

摘要翻译： 一种连接器，其提供销和扁平导体之间的互连。 该连接器采用由紧密包装的镀金线制成的两束用于与设备的电连接。 束都被收纳在电介质套筒结构中，并且本身通过固体导体连接。 一个线束的一部分从套筒结构的一端突出，以与匹配组件中的扁平导体电接触。 第二线束相对于套筒结构的第二端凹入套筒结构内。 该销在安装中插入第二端，与第二线束电接触。 连接器的外部主体是螺纹的，允许操作者将连接器扭曲到配合组件中，不需要严格的公差以确保正确的接触。 连接器提供坚固的电气连接，并且还提供扁平连接器的未对准以及引脚的确切位置的变化。 配合部分中的销的长度可以相当大地变化，并且连接器装置仍然在微波频率上提供受控的阻抗互连。 连接器可以安装在更大的组件中，从而提供大量互连以同时配合。 这通过在配合壳体中提供间隙和锥度来实现。
