- ABSTRACT A coupling device for electrically connecting a strip transmission line to another transmission line, said device comprising a conductive shell having pressure means for forming electrically smooth connections with the ground planes of the strip transmission line and aperture means for permitting the center conductor of the strip transmission line to extend insulatingly into the shell, and a center pin symmetrically disposed in the shell and having means for electrically contacting the center conductor of the strip transmission line.
- a strip transmission line generally comprises a center strip conductor sandwiched between two, comparatively wide, dielectric panels which have their broad outer surfaces clad with conductive material to form spaced opposing ground planes.
- the center strip conductor advantageously may be formed on the inner broad surface of one of the panels by utilizing printed circuit techniques. Then, the inner broad surfaces of both panels may be clamped together thereby positioning the center strip conductor symmetrically between the ground planes.
- the resulting compact structure makes the strip transmission line especially suitable for transmitting microwave frequencies, such as in the one-to-ten gigahertz range, for example.
- a strip transmission line When transmitting microwave energy, a strip transmission line generally is operated in the TEM mode whereby the microwave signals follow the center conductor while passing longitudinally between the opposing surfaces of the ground planes.
- a strip transmission line may be energized by microwave signals emanating from another transmission line having a dissimilar structure, such as a coaxial type transmission line, for example. Furthermore, output signals from the strip transmission line may be fed to the input of a third transmission line, such as another strip transmission line, for example.
- a microwave coupling device or connector is required to establish a low-loss, transitional junction between a strip transmission line and another transmission line.
- the transitional junction constitutes a variation in line impedance where reflected waves are generated, standing waves may be set up which have an adverse effect on the voltage standing wave ratio (USWR) and result in a corresponding loss of power in the line.
- USWR voltage standing wave ratio
- the transitional junction may excite higher propagation modes which tend to transmit microwave energy away from the center conductor thereby draining power from the line. Therefore, in order to reduce power losses in the microwave connector or coupling device, variations in line impedance should be minimized at the transitional junction and propagation modes higher than the domi nant mode should be suppressed as close to the junction as possible.
- each coaxial type connector requires a great deal of time to install. Not only are the screws relatively small in size and spaced rather closely together but each screw must be torqued substantially the same amount as the other screws in the cylindrical array in order to avoid compressing the ground planes more in one area than in another area and thereby introducing localized variations in line impedance at the junction.
- each of the transmission lines first must be provided with a respective coaxial-type connector, as described. Then, the coaxial-type connectors generally are coupled electrically to one another by means of a coaxial-type nipple. However, the resulting excessive spacing between the two strip transmission lines is not compatible with the relatively compact structures of these transmission lines.
- This invention provides a coupling device for electrically connecting a strip transmission line to another transmission line.
- This coupling device comprises a center pin and a symmetrically spaced, conductive shell having a cylindrical wall wherein an open-ended slot extends longitudinally from one end of the shell and having adjacent the other end an outwardly extending annular flange.
- the center pin of the coupling device has one end disposed in electrical contact with a terminal end portion of the center strip conductor and extends insulatingly through aligned apertures in one of the panels and the contiguous ground plane to protrude longitudinally from the strip transmission line.
- Symmetrically disposed with respect to a terminal end portion of the center strip conductor are mutually aligned, horseshoe-shaped slots in the respective ground planes and panels of the strip transmission line.
- the slotted portion of the conductive shell extends longitudinally through the aligned horseshoe-shaped slots such that the annular flange of the coupling device abuts the adjacent ground plane and the slotted end portion of the conductive shell protrudes from the opposing ground plane of the strip transmission line.
- This protruding end portion of the shell is engaged by a cylindrical fastening device which, in cooperation with the annular flange, exerts a uniform annular pressure on the interposed ground planes, thereby avoiding the localized variations in line impedance introduced by screw-type fastening devices. Since the conductive shell is connected to ground and provides a cylindrical cavity wherein a transitional junction is established between the center conductor of the strip transmission line and the center pin of the coupling device, it constitutes an efficient means for suppressing any higher propagation modes generated at the
- the protruding portion of the center pin serves as the center pin terminal of a coaxial connector, and the adjacent end por tion of the conductive shell terminates in the outer concentric conductor of the coaxial connector, thus providing means for readily connecting the strip transmission line to a coaxial-type transmission line in a compact manner.
- the annular flange extends transversely across the cylindrical wall to form a closed end of the shell and abuts a ground plane of a second strip transmission line.
- the slotted cylindrical wall of the shell extends longitudinally through a conductive collar disposed in aligned horseshoe-shaped slots of the second strip transmission line and then through the aligned horseshoe-shaped slots of the first strip transmission line to protrude therefrom.
- the conductive collar has an outwardly extending lip which ,is compressed between respective ground planes'of the first and second strip transmission lines, and the center pin conductor of the first strip transmission line slidingly engages a similar center pin conductor protruding from the second strip transmission line.
- the cylindrical fastening device When the cylindrical fastening device engages the protruding end portion of the cylindrical wall, it cooperates with the annular flange at the closed end of the shell in exerting a uniform annular pressure on the interposed ground planes of the respective strip transmission lines thereby avoiding localized variations in line impedance.
- the first strip transmission line is readily connected to a second strip transmission line in a manner which provides an efficient means for suppressing any higher propagation modes generated at the junction.

- the slot 34 extends through the panel 22 and is aligned with a similar horseshoe-shaped slot 36 which is disposed in panel 24 and extends through ground plane 30.
- the slot 36 is symmetrically disposed in spaced relationship with a terminal end portion 21 of center strip conductor 20 which extends longitudinally between spaced ends of the slot 36.
- the terminal end portion 21 of center strip conductor 20 is aligned with a bore 38 in panel 22 which terminates at the other end within the circular opening 32 and in symmetrically spaced relationship with the slot 34.
- a tubular center pin 40 of coupling-device 16 has a radially extending head 42 at one end which is disposed in electrical engagement, as by pressure contact, for example, with the terminal end portion 21 of center strip conductor 20.
- the pin 40 extends longitudinally through the bore 38 and the circular opening 32 to protrude insulatingly from the ground plane 28. This protruding portion of the center pin 40 serves as the center conductor of the coaxial connector 14 and extends into a dielectric bushing 44 which is press-fitted into the outerconcentric conductor 46 of the connector 14.
- the outer conductor 46 is open at one end and terminates at the other end in an outwardly extending annular flange 48, of a conductive shell 50.
- the shell 50 is a component part of the coupling device 16 and includes a cylindrical wall 52 having a longitudinal slot 54 therein.
- the wall 52 extends through the respective slots 34 and 36 until the flange 48 abuts the ground plane 28 and an end portion of the wall 52 protrudes from the ground plane 30.
- This protruding portion of the wall 52 may be provided with fastening means, such as threads, for example, and is engaged by a cylindrical fastening device, such as a knurled end cap 56 having internal threads, for example, which also constitutes a part of the conductive shell 50.
- a pressure device such as cylindrical plug 58, for example, may be inserted into the end cap 56 prior to assembling the end cap onto the protruding end portion of the wall 52.
- the end cap 56 is threaded onto the protruding end portion of wall 52 and tightened against the ground plane 30, the end cap 56 in conjunction with the annular flange 48 exerts a uniform annular pressure on the respective ground planes 28 and 30 thereby avoiding localized variations in line impedance.
- the plug 58 presses against the area of ground plane 30 located within the inner periphery of slot 34, thereby urging the terminal end portion 21 of center strip conductor 20 against the head 42 of center pin 40 and pressing the pin 40 longitudinally still further into the dielectric bushing 44 of connector 14.
- the pressure of the plug 58 serves to reinforce the center pin 40 when the connector 14 is mated with another coaxial connector (not shown).
- the conductive shell 50 forms a cylindrical cavity which is connected to ground through the annular flange 48 and the end cap 58, respectively.
- the center strip conductor 20 extends insulatingly into the cavity to establish a transitional junction with the center pin 40. Consequently, the shell 50 constitutes an efficient suppressor of higher propagation modes which may be generated at the junction.
- a connector assembly 11 may include a similar coupling device 16a for electrically connecting the strip transmission line 12 to another strip transmission line 13.
- the strip transmission line 13 comprises a center strip conductor 60 which is sandwiched between juxtaposed inner broad surfaces of two dielectric panels 62 and 64, respectively.
- the panels 62 and 64 have their respective broad outer surfaces plated with conductive material, such as copper, for example, to form spaced parallel ground planes 68 and 70, respectively.
- the ground plane 70 is provided with a horseshoe-shaped slot 74 which extends through panel 64 and is aligned with a similar horseshoe-shaped slot 76 in panel 62.
- the slot 74 is symmetrically disposed in spaced relationship with a terminal end portion 61 of center conductor 60 which extends longitudinally between spaced ends of the slot 74.
- the slot 76 extends through panel 62 and ground plane 68 which has a circular opening 72 disposed within the inner periphery of the slot 76.
- Centrally disposed within the opening 72 is one end of a bore 78 which extends through the panel 62 and is aligned with the terminal end portion 61 of center conductor 60.
- the terminal end portion 61 is electrically engaged such as by pressure contact, for example, by a radially extending head 82 of a center pin 80.
- the pin 80 extends through the bore 78 and the circular opening 72 to protrude insulatingly from the ground plane 68.
- a conductive collar 84 having an outwardly extending lip 86 is pressed into the aligned slots 74 and 76, re-
- the annular flange 48a of coupling device 16a extends transversely across one end of the cylindrical wall 52a to form a closed end of the conductive shell 50a.
- the cylindrical wall 52a has a slot 54a longitudinally disposed therein and extends longitudinally through the collar 84 within the aligned slots 74 and 76, respectively.
- the cylindrical wall 52a also extends through the aligned slots 34 and 36, respectively, until the annular flange 48a abuts the ground plane 70 of strip transmission line 13 and an end portion protrudes from the ground plane 30 of strip transmission line 12.
- the center pin 80 is slidingly engaged by the tubular center pin 40 and the lip 86 of collar 84 is compressed between the ground planes 28 and 68 of strip transmission lines 12 and 13, respectively.
- a pressure device such as plug 58a, for example, may be pressed against the area of ground plane 30 within the inner periphery of slot 36 by a cylindrical fastening device, such as 56a, for example, which threadingly engages the protruding end portion of cylindrical wall 52a.
- the resulting laminated connector assembly 11, as shown in FIG. 3, is very compact and compatible with the planar structures of the respective strip transmission lines 12 and 13.
- the cylindrical fastening device 56a When the cylindrical fastening device 56a is tightened, it cooperates with the annular flange 48a in exerting a uniform annular pressure on the interposed ground planes and pressing the ground planes 28 and 66, respectively, more firmly into contact with the lip 86 of the collar 84. Thus, localized variation in line impedance are avoided and power losses are minimized. Simultaneously, the plug 58a urges the terminal end portion 21 of center strip conductor against the head 42 of center pin 40 thereby pressing the pin 40 into further engagement with the center pin 80.
