Manifold spatial relationship adjustment simulation apparatus for microwave multiplexer in satellite communication system, has actuator with adjacent screw which drives mandrel mounted on tuning brackets

摘要

Several waveguides (2-4) are coupled to a manifold (5). Tuning brackets (9,11,12) are mounted on primary section (7) of the manifold along longitudinal axis between shorted end (18) and connecting port. An actuator comprising adjustment screw (13) drives a mandrel mounted on the tuning bracket to change dimension of the manifold. An Independent claim is also included for method to simulate an adjustment of spatial relations in a manifold of microwave guide multiplexer.
