MICROWAVE BRIDGE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: bridges for broad-band radio- communication, telecommunication, and radar systems. SUBSTANCE: proposed bridge that has two identical conductors of equal length inside solid metal shield uses coaxial cable length whose wave impedance equals that of loads connected and whose electric length equals that of conductors. Cable is arranged in parallel to metal shield beyond the latter and central conductor leads of cable are connected to respective ends of shield. Proposed bridge is distinguished from prototype by three times lower irregularity of 0.5 dB power splitting between standard coaxial cables of 50 and 75 Ohms at same longitudinal size L. EFFECT: reduced irregularity of power splitting between standard coaxial cables. 2 dwg
