Symmetrical Two-Piece Waveguide - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18159014 titled 'Symmetrical Two-Piece Waveguide
The abstract describes a symmetrical two-piece waveguide that enables near-lossless channeling of energy without conductive bonding. The waveguide consists of an upper structure forming a first symmetrical portion of at least one channel and a lower structure forming a second symmetrical portion of the channel.
- The waveguide is symmetrical and two-piece in design.
- The upper structure forms the radiator portion, while the lower structure forms the input portion.
- The waveguide allows energy to flow between the input and radiator portions without conductive bonding.
- Symmetry in the design ensures efficient energy path between the input and radiator portions.
- The waveguide leverages the benefits of a two-piece design while maintaining near-lossless energy channeling.
Potential Applications: - Telecommunications - Radar systems - Satellite communication - Microwave technology
Problems Solved: - Loss of energy during channeling - Need for conductive bonding in waveguide design
Benefits: - Efficient energy channeling - Symmetrical design for optimal performance - Two-piece structure for ease of assembly and maintenance
Commercial Applications: Title: Symmetrical Two-Piece Waveguide for Efficient Energy Channeling This technology can be used in telecommunications, radar systems, satellite communication, and microwave technology. It offers efficient energy channeling and a symmetrical design for optimal performance, making it ideal for various commercial applications in the communication and radar industries.
Questions about Symmetrical Two-Piece Waveguide: 1. How does the symmetrical design of the waveguide contribute to its efficiency? The symmetrical design ensures that energy flows smoothly between the input and radiator portions, minimizing energy loss and optimizing performance.
2. What are the advantages of using a two-piece waveguide design? A two-piece design allows for easier assembly and maintenance of the waveguide, making it more convenient for installation and repairs.
Original Abstract Submitted
A symmetrical two-piece waveguide is described herein. The waveguide comprises an upper structure that forms a first symmetrical portion of at least one channel that defines an energy path between an input portion and a radiator portion of the channel. The waveguide further comprises a lower structure that forms a second symmetrical portion of the channel that is symmetrical to the first symmetrical portion about a separation plane when the upper and lower structures are mated. The upper structure further forms the radiator portion that extends orthogonally from an upper surface of the first symmetrical portion opposite the separation plane. The lower structure further forms the input portion that extends orthogonally from a lower surface of the second symmetrical portion opposite the separation plane. By using symmetry, the disclosed waveguide leverages the benefits of a two-piece design while enabling near-lossless channeling of energy without conductive bonding.
