Problems solved by technology

Moreover, the fabrication of waveguides and couplers involves inflexible frequency-dependent mechanical and electrical designs to achieve properties such as isolation and power coupling
Two-part directional waveguide structures are difficult to construct and even more difficult to replicate in commercial quantities

Embodiment Construction

[0029] The present invention is based in part on the observation of the fact that radio frequency signal transmitters are calibrated for specific loading conditions. Typically, the transmitter is calibrated with the test equipment as the load, and then the transmitter is used with the antenna as the load. The load conditions created by the test equipment are not necessarily identical to those created by the antenna, and different antennas have slightly different characteristics which can create different load conditions at the transmitter output. In some cases, a manufacturer may use one type of test equipment to calibrate the transmitter, and then a qualification inspection laboratory may use another type of test equipment to test the transmitter (eg, for FCC rule compliance testing). Transmitter loading conditions may also vary with environmental changes such as temperature and humidity changes. Accordingly, the present invention seeks to provide a means of substantially ov...

Abstract

Power measurement and control in transmission systems are affected by changes in load conditions. A method and system are provided for detecting and controlling power levels independent of such load conditions.

Description

[0001] introduce technical field [0002] The present invention relates to signal transmission, and more particularly, the present invention relates to the measurement and control of signal transmission power. Background technique [0003] For power measurement and control, the transmitter has a power control feedback loop responsive to a power detector. In a common configuration for high (eg microwave) frequency bands, the power level is measured by a detector in a waveguide connected between the output of the power amplifier and the load. [0004] In general, waveguides are used to transmit high frequency signals, due in part to their low loss characteristics and ability to handle high power. Waveguide elements are constructed in a variety of geometries, examples of which include a "parallel" type with a pair of plates, with a slot in the ground plane on one side of the dielectric substrate with a conductor in the slot, or "coplanar" with no conductors, "dielectric" with...
