Abstract :
This paper describes a novel high-performance x-band hybrid junction. Its over-ill dimensions are 1¿¿Ã¿Ã¿. It consists of a suitably loaded gap in the narrow common wall between two it ¿¿Ã1¿ waveguides. Over the frequency range 8,500- to 9,600-mc per second power equality within ±0.25 decibels, isolation in excess of 30 decibels and a standing-wave ratio less than 1.07 may be obtained. The theory of the device is explained, and the particular advantages of this hybrid junction for a number of applications are outlined.
