WAVEGUIDE DISTRIBUTOR FOR PHASE AERIAL WITH OPTIMISED RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H01Q3/26 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises main and additional linear dividers made up of directed couplers (DC) integrated by first and second main waveguides and arranged one after another. Phase switcher sections are arranged between DCs of the main and additional dividers. Side channel of both dividers represent straight waveguides, arranged on one side of main waveguides with spacing of (0.5±0.1)λ, and filled with dielectric. Grooves are arranged on said side channels in dielectric filler to receive dielectric inserts of higher or lower dielectric factor relative to side channel filling material. There is a groove made in dielectric to accommodate matched load at the end of every DC side channel. Main waveguides can be filled with dielectric.

EFFECT: improved component arrangement, simplified design and smaller sizes.
