Modular feed network |
摘要 |
A modular feed network is provided with a segment base provided with a feed aperture, a corner cavity at each corner and a tap cavity at a mid-section of each of two opposite sides. A segment top is provided with a plurality of output ports. The segment top is dimensioned to seat upon the segment base to form a segment pair. the segment base provided with a plurality of waveguides between cavities of the segment base. The modular feed network is configurable via a range of feed, bypass and/or power divider taps seated in the apertures and/or cavities to form a waveguide network of varied numbers of output ports by routing across one or more of the segment tops. For example, the modular feed network may comprise 1, 4 or 16 of the segment bases retained side to side. |

1. A modular feed network, comprising:
a generally rectangular segment base provided with a feed aperture; a corner cavity at each corner and a tap cavity at a mid-section of each of two opposite sides; and a segment top provided with a plurality of output ports; the segment top provided seated upon a first side of the segment base to form a segment pair; the segment base provided with a central waveguide, on the first side, between the feed aperture and the tap cavities; the segment base provided with a peripheral waveguide, on the first side, between each of the corner cavities that are adjacent to one another; the segment base provided with a feed waveguide between the feed aperture and the output ports. |
