ULTRA HIGH POWER TRANSMISSION LINE TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to develop systematic procedures for selecting optimum waveguide configurations and designing waveguide components that will operate at high levels of peak and average power in the frequency range 1-10 gigacycles. In particular, the feasibility will be investigated of designing compact components such as bends, couplers, power dividers, tapers, and mode absorbers in waveguides having cross section dimensions in the range 1.5 to 2.5 free space wavelengths. In the present report the analysis of multihole side wall couplers is continued. Theoretical data are presented for constant curvature E-plane bends. The results of mode conversion measurements are presented for a 40 in straight taper, a 24 in. variable curvature taper, and a full oversized H-plane bend having R/a equal to 1.48. The results of a study of mode conversion at waveguide flanges is also presented. (Author)
