SWITCH-FILTER ON A RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE PARTIALLY FILLED BY DIELECTRIC

Abstract

At article investigates a broadband switch for microwave technology, antenna-feeder paths of which are implemented on a rectangular waveguide partially filled by dielectric. Modern means of communication of the microwave range can operate for transmission through two independent antenna channels, each of which includes its own microwave transmitter. It is also provided the operation of one microwave transmitter for two antennas. The transmission of high-power signals requires the implementation devices based on rectangular waveguide partially filled by dielectric for such antenna-feeder paths. The active element is an open nonlinear structure included in a dielectric plate which located in a rectangular waveguide. The electrodynamic problem is solved by the method of eigenfunctions. In this article, the transfer coefficient T11 and plotted the graphs of the dependence of the electrical length of the waveguide segment with the open nonlinear structure on the value of the reactive conductivity of the inductive loop at fixed reactive conductivity of the open nonlinear structure is determine. The results of this article can be used in the development of broadband switches for mobile digital combined troposcatter-radio relay stations with space-diversity transmission, antenna-feeder paths of which are implemented on the rectangular waveguide partially filled by dielectric. The article developed a filter on waveguide tees partially filled by dielectric. A design based on an H-tee on a rectangular waveguide partially filled by dielectric is proposed. The equivalent circuit of the H-tee is based on the equivalent circuit in the longitudinal slot in the narrow wall of the waveguide. Such a gap interrupts the lines of the transverse surface current of the main quasi-H10 wave of a rectangular waveguide partially filled by dielectric. Numerical results are obtained for transformation ratios.
