參考第1至5圖,具有一石英無電極式燈泡2之一種燈1係具有一陶瓷波導3,波導3係具有燈泡為容納於其之一中央空隙4。該波導係矩形。該中央空隙係置中於波導之一中央縱向平面5,垂直於波導之正與背面6、7,且相等為隔開自端面8、9。個別天線14、15之另外二個空隙11、12係平行於中央空隙且位於中央平面。中央空隙係經由正面開口以供光線進入,而天線空隙係於此面開口。後者係金屬化16,以禁止自該波導的微波能量進入。Referring to Figures 1 through 5, a lamp 1 having a quartz electrodeless bulb 2 has a ceramic waveguide 3 having a bulb for receiving a central void 4 therein. The waveguide is rectangular. The central void is centered in a central longitudinal plane 5 of the waveguide, perpendicular to the front and back sides 6, 7 of the waveguide, and equally spaced from the end faces 8, 9. The other two voids 11, 12 of the individual antennas 14, 15 are parallel to the central void and are located in the central plane. The central void is open through the front side for light to enter, while the antenna gap is open to the surface. The latter is metallized 16 to inhibit the ingress of microwave energy from the waveguide.

於其二端面8、9之間的長度,波導係半個波長,即:其傳播為自天線至燈泡之微波輻射的波長之一半者。典型而言,微波頻率係2.4 GHz且具有80 MHz的頻寬,波長係68.6毫米且於端面之間的長度係34.3毫米。天線空隙係自該中央空隙與端面為相等間隔,即:自各者的八分之一個波長。此間距係顯示於第4圖。At the length between its two end faces 8, 9, the waveguide is half a wavelength, that is, it propagates one-half of the wavelength of the microwave radiation from the antenna to the bulb. Typically, the microwave frequency is 2.4 GHz and has a bandwidth of 80 MHz with a wavelength of 68.6 mm and a length between the end faces of 34.3 mm. The antenna gap is equally spaced from the central void and the end face, i.e., one-eighth of the wavelength from each. This spacing is shown in Figure 4.

該燈泡係典型為直徑6.0毫米且因此其空隙為一間隙(clearance)直徑,即:6.3毫米。天線14、15係具有直徑為自我支撐於燈之製造期間內的銅線,典型為1.5毫米之直徑。天線空隙係於內徑為2.0毫米。The bulb is typically 6.0 mm in diameter and therefore its void is a clearance diameter, ie 6.3 mm. The antennas 14, 15 have copper wires that are self-supporting during the manufacture of the lamp, typically 1.5 mm in diameter. The antenna gap is 2.0 mm in inner diameter.

於該裝置之前方係安裝一光導(light guide)G,其未構成本發明之部分。一印刷電路板21係位在波導之後方。其與波導係均為容納於一金屬殼體H,其僅為顯示於部分的輪廓。該殼體係維持該波導3與電路板於其相對位置,該殼體亦包圍電路板及提供一屏蔽以免於微波輻射之洩漏。A light guide G is mounted in front of the device, which does not form part of the invention. A printed circuit board 21 is tied behind the waveguide. Both of the waveguide and the waveguide are housed in a metal housing H, which is only shown in the outline of the portion. The housing maintains the waveguide 3 in a relative position with the circuit board, the housing also surrounding the circuit board and providing a shield from leakage of microwave radiation.

該電路板係載有一銅軌道22,其概括為Y形且具有一輸入端23與一對之輸出端24。其構成為如同一種威爾金森(Wilkinson)分割器(splitter),除了該種分割器為具有跨接其輸出端的一負載之外。於本發明,不具有其連接該等輸出端之單一個構件,該等天線係藉著介電材料之波導與於其間的燈泡而連接至輸出端。該等輸出端係藉由焊錫而連接至接線天線14、15。軌道22係設置於其遠離波導之板21的側面。一熱絕緣板25係設置於波導與板之間,若無其,天線空隙11、12係將為打開至電路板。如圖所示,絕緣板係定位該等接線天線14、15於朝向該板之其通路。其為位在於相反的方向,藉由其空隙之末端26於波導。The board carries a copper track 22 that is generally Y-shaped and has an input end 23 and a pair of output ends 24. It is constructed like a Wilkinson splitter, except that the splitter has a load that spans its output. In the present invention, there is no single component that connects the outputs, and the antennas are connected to the output by a waveguide of a dielectric material and a bulb therebetween. The outputs are connected to the patch antennas 14, 15 by soldering. The track 22 is disposed on the side of the plate 21 away from the waveguide. A thermal insulation plate 25 is disposed between the waveguide and the plate. If not, the antenna gaps 11, 12 will be opened to the circuit board. As shown, the insulating sheets position the wiring antennas 14, 15 in their path toward the board. It is in the opposite direction, with the end 26 of its gap being in the waveguide.

分割電路之輸入端係具有一習用的微波電路連接器27,針對於自一遠端驅動電路29之一纜線28,驅動電路29係納入一振盪器與一放大器(未顯示)。The input of the split circuit has a conventional microwave circuit connector 27 for driving a circuit 28 from a remote drive circuit 29 to incorporate an oscillator and an amplifier (not shown).

沿著分割電路之柄部(stem)30的旁邊係設置多個小的調整點(tuning spot)31,其可為連接至柄部以隨著需要而調整之焊錫。再者,柄部之側向係提供一對之耳部(ear)32,其定位以調整該電路之阻抗且指引返回朝向其反射自輸出端24與天線的天線微波能量。於耳部32與輸出端24之間,電路係以寬度36而步進。此係亦為一局部阻抗調整特徵。A plurality of small tuning spots 31 are provided along the side of the stem 30 of the splitting circuit, which may be solder that is attached to the handle to adjust as needed. Furthermore, the lateral direction of the handle provides a pair of ears 32 that are positioned to adjust the impedance of the circuit and direct the return of microwave energy toward the antenna that is reflected from the output 24 and the antenna. Between the ear 32 and the output 24, the circuitry is stepped by a width 36. This system is also a partial impedance adjustment feature.

該分割電路之長度係一個波長,實際的長度係由電路為沉積於其上的板21之材料的介電常數所影響。The length of the splitting circuit is one wavelength, and the actual length is affected by the dielectric constant of the material of the board 21 on which the circuit is deposited.

本發明係無意為限制於上述的實施例之細節。舉例而言,第6圖係顯示由球形34、35所取代之接線天線14、15。第7圖係顯示碟形54、55之另一個替代的天線架構。再者,第9圖係顯示天線64、65,其為具有閉合端67之中空金屬圓柱66,閉合端67之背面一者係具有一中央連接線68。該等圓柱係直徑為稍微較小於燈泡,即:4.5毫米,如同該燈泡之相同直徑,天線空隙為直徑4.75毫米。The present invention is not intended to be limited to the details of the embodiments described above. For example, Figure 6 shows the patch antennas 14, 15 replaced by spheres 34, 35. Figure 7 shows another alternative antenna architecture for the dish shapes 54, 55. Further, Fig. 9 shows antennas 64, 65 which are hollow metal cylinders 66 having closed ends 67 and a back side of closed ends 67 having a central connecting line 68. The cylindrical system is slightly smaller in diameter than the bulb, i.e., 4.5 mm, as the same diameter of the bulb, and the antenna gap is 4.75 mm in diameter.

再者,第8與9圖係顯示針對於光線離開燈泡之一個替代配置。鑒於第一實施例,光線係縱向自其遠離電路板21之一末端33而離開燈泡;於第8與9圖之實施例,燈泡61係配置以供光線為側向離開自一側邊62。再者,不同於第一實施例,用於燈泡之中央空隙63係配置為平行於電路板,令該燈泡為置於一盲端69與一插頭70之間。波導係具有一槽狀的開口71於其遠離電路板之側邊,透過於其,來自燈泡之光線係可離開該燈泡而朝向一準直器C。Again, Figures 8 and 9 show an alternative configuration for the light to exit the bulb. In view of the first embodiment, the light is longitudinally separated from the bulb from one end 33 of the circuit board 21; in the embodiment of Figures 8 and 9, the bulb 61 is configured to laterally exit the side 62 from the light. Moreover, unlike the first embodiment, the central void 63 for the bulb is configured to be parallel to the circuit board such that the bulb is placed between a blind end 69 and a plug 70. The waveguide system has a slot-like opening 71 on its side away from the board through which light from the bulb can exit the bulb towards a collimator C.

第10圖係顯示另一個實施例,其納入前二個實施例之配置以及光線為自燈泡的二端而離開燈泡之再一個配置。再者,燈泡81係配置於其平行於電路板之一中央空隙83。然而,不同於第8與9圖之配置,該空隙係開口於波導之相對側84、85,即:延伸為遠離電路板之二側。此外,於前端面,波導係具有一開口86。因此,光線係可為以三個方向而離開燈泡。欲收集光線且使其為準直,準直器C係具有:.一漸縮部分87與平坦光線入口88,以集中自槽部86與燈泡之側面89的光線;以及.二個分支90、91與平坦光線入口92、93,其相對於燈泡之邊緣94、95。該等分支係具有傾斜的平坦部96、97,以隨著光線為側向離開經由槽部86而調整其軸向離開燈泡之光線為於概括相同方向。Figure 10 shows another embodiment incorporating the configuration of the first two embodiments and the arrangement of light leaving the bulb from the two ends of the bulb. Furthermore, the bulb 81 is disposed parallel to a central void 83 of the circuit board. However, unlike the configurations of Figures 8 and 9, the gaps are open on opposite sides 84, 85 of the waveguide, i.e., extending away from the two sides of the board. Further, on the front end face, the waveguide has an opening 86. Therefore, the light system can leave the bulb in three directions. To collect and collimate the light, the collimator C has: a tapered portion 87 and a flat light entrance 88 for concentrating light from the groove portion 86 and the side 89 of the bulb; The two branches 90, 91 and the flat light entrances 92, 93 are opposite the edges 94, 95 of the bulb. The branches have inclined flat portions 96, 97 to adjust the direction of the light away from the bulb with the light passing laterally through the groove portion 86 to summarize the same direction.

該準直器係結合自此等三個路徑之光線而成為單一束。The collimator combines light from three paths to form a single beam.

第11圖係顯示一個本質類似的實施例,除了燈泡101與中央空隙103之方位為調整回到第一實施例者。於燈泡之側面的槽部104係面對為平行於印刷電路板。於燈泡之末端的一個開口105係面對為遠離該板而另一個開口106係對齊於電路板與絕緣板之開口107、108,藉此,以此個方向而離開燈泡之光線係通過諸板至準直器之分支109。該準直器係具有如同第10圖之準直器的相同架構。Figure 11 shows an essentially similar embodiment except that the orientation of the bulb 101 and the central void 103 is adjusted back to the first embodiment. The groove portion 104 on the side of the bulb faces parallel to the printed circuit board. An opening 105 at the end of the bulb faces away from the plate and the other opening 106 is aligned with the openings 107, 108 of the circuit board and the insulating plate, whereby the light exiting the bulb in this direction passes through the plates To the branch 109 of the collimator. The collimator has the same architecture as the collimator of Figure 10.
