POWER SPLITTER COMPRISING A TEE COUPLER IN THE E-PLANE, RADIATING ARRAY AND ANTENNA COMPRISING SUCH A RADIATING ARRAY

摘要

A power splitter comprises at least two mutually parallel lateral waveguides with rectangular cross-section and a transverse waveguide with rectangular cross-section comprising two opposite ends respectively connected to the two lateral waveguides. The two lateral waveguides are oriented along a direction Y and mounted flat with their large side parallel to a plane XY, the transverse waveguide is oriented along a direction X perpendicular to the direction Y and mounted edgewise with its small side parallel to the plane XY, and each lateral waveguide is coupled to the transverse waveguide by a tee coupler in the E-plane with embedded junction, the two ends of the transverse waveguide being respectively embedded in each lateral waveguide, at the centre of the said respective lateral waveguide.
