Rectangular wave guide elbow bent across the narrow side with capacitive loading

摘要

A rectangular wave guide H-elbow bent across the narrow side of the wave guide and having its outer corner flattened by a symmetrically angled conducting plane. The present invention provides for the reduction of the reflection factor in such elbow by providing that the relative corner flattening of the wave guide produces a value of xH/a greater than 0.73 wherein a is the length of the wide side of the wave guide and xH is the distance from the apex of the wave guide before it is flattened by the conducting plane to the junction of the conducting plane with the narrow side of the wave guide. Furthermore, capacitive loading means of cylindrical form are arranged in the area of the geometrical median w of the bend of the wave guide and being in the form of conductive cylinders 1 or 3 as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3.
