Integral waveguide component enables simple, cost-effective implementation of an adjustable phase shifter/transition time element, e.g. for a microwave antenna

摘要

The component has at least one planar microwave conductor (15) with a time-harmonic input signal and which produces an output signal phase shifted w.r.t. the input signal and dependent on the length of the conductor. The conductor has at least one interruption point. Each interruption point has a mechanically displaceable microwave conductor section (18) whose effective length bridging the interruption point can be set according to the desired phase shift between the input and output signals
