WAVEGUIDE-STRIP TURNSTILE JOINT Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: jointing commercial flat-antenna converters for systems receiving television signals from satellites.

SUBSTANCE: proposed turnstile joint has circular waveguide, first and second screens, first and second insulating plates, four strip conductors, strip resonator, matching devices, and four segments. Strip conductors and strip resonator form cross joint with strip resonator in center of cross. Circular waveguide is disposed perpendicular to screens and its axis crosses center of cross and center of hole in first screen. Segments are disposed between screens to form circular waveguide with slots. Strip conductors are placed in slots. Proposed turnstile joint can function as matched four-arm power splitter in systems using strip transmission lines but supplied with power from circular waveguide.

EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities.
