Energy coupler applicable to cosine grating-loaded folded waveguide slow-wave structure

Abstract

The invention discloses an energy coupler applicable to a cosine grating-loaded folded waveguide slow-wave structure. The end surfaces, which are vertical to the axis of the slow-wave structure, of various gratings between adjacent straight waveguide sections in a folded waveguide, with a periodic structure, of the folded waveguide slow-wave structure have cosine profiles at one side of a waveguide connection segment. The energy coupler comprises a rectangular waveguide; andmetal ridges are formed on the rectangular waveguide corresponding to cosine profile gratings at one side of the cosine grating-loaded folded waveguide slow-wave structure. The energy coupler disclosed by the invention is simple in structure, and is connected with the input and output of the cosine grating-loaded folded waveguide slow-wave structure with a complicated structure to form a high-frequency system with the energy coupler, so that the effective input / output of an electromagnetic field from the rectangular waveguide can be achieved.

Problems solved by technology

Compared with conventional slow-wave structure energy couplers, there is usually a large impedance mismatch when transitioning from a simple rectangular waveguide structure to a complex slow-wave structure

Figure 4 The direct transition from rectangular waveguide structure to Figures 2A-2C The voltage injection wave ratio when the cosine grid is loaded with the folded waveguide slow wave structure shows that the matching is very poor and cannot meet the requirements
