MULTICHANNEL POWER SPLITTER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: microwave radio engineering; frequency-scanned antenna arrays.

SUBSTANCE: proposed multichannel power splitter has slow-wave structure in the form of serpentined waveguide folded in E-plane and periodic structure of directional couplers. Waveguide-stripline directional coupler handling coaxial lead and stripline load on narrow wall of waveguide is used as directional coupler system member. Serpentined waveguide period and intervals of directional couplers are chosen to equal even number of half-waves at intermediate frequency of operating band.

EFFECT: improved power characteristics, reduced size, simplified design of antenna arrays.
